okay so
ive recently decided to attempt to catch all 289 Big Fish currently in Final Fantasy 14 and i kinda feel compelled to keep note of it so??? hi thats this. if you don't know Big Fish ive put an explanation under the break
ive caught 131 out of 289 fish so far!! ive been going for three weeks, or just about, so that's pretty good progress. the true test of patience is yet to come
Been not fishing as much as I'd like this week because there's an event on right now that I like to participate in, plus some irl stuff, so I got less fishing time in than I'd like.
I did manage to catch Lancetfish with an extremely clutch Intuition pull!! It's one of the harder fish to get, so getting so very lucky feels great.
41 to go
i would count this as about halfway there!! maybe even less. the reason is that up until now, i could really just fish whenever - there would be one or two Big Fish available, so attempts at catching them were always going. this is starting to change. im spending more time waiting around than trying to catch fish. the next attempt at one isn't until 3 hours from now and i might just be asleep then!!!
but all in all im happy to be at this point, because now it's just about remembering to log in every few days to make an attempt. it's not very time consuming.
its been fun too!!!! theres a big community surrounding this activity alone and folks are happy to share tips and commiserate when yet another fish fails to bite
okay soooo
im at 288/289!! im missing one. i caught the second to last one today
the other two before that were easy enough, but now im stuck on
egg
weird to think this went so quickly. i was told id be stuck fishing until summer, possibly until next year, because some of these are just soooo rare and hard to get and yea. I mean Cinder Surprise is annoying
i guess my goal now is to finish fisher entirely before Dawntrail comes out. There's two really big grinds left over - Diadem Fishing (about 30 hours of just catching one specific fish! woop) and Ocean Fishing, neither of which are timegated so it all just comes down to setting aside the time to do em.
