Fishing

[Perjoss]

How does the fishing compare to the fishing in games like Animal Crossing: A New Leaf and World of Warcraft?

Edit: and rather than start another thread, is this game fairly intuitive or do you find yourself constantly looking for help from forums or wikis etc. Thanks!

Not similar in the slightest.

The fishing has a definite learning curve in the beginning and then a skill curve as you progress. Getting a higher level/proficiency will make it easier and so will buying better rods which can equip tackle and bait. Also, foods that increase fishing proficiency--like trout soup and dish of the sea--make it easier. Some fish are easy and some will give you a run, but if you stick with it, you'll get better and better!

I very rarely find myself going to the wiki unless I've been stumped for several in-game days. The thing I go to most often is for--funnily enough, relating back to the first topic--which locations, times, weather, and seasons you can catch the fish. There's a lot of them, haha, and some only show when it's sunny or rainy or summer or winter, et cetera.

But I really think that moments when you need help for this game will be few and far between.

I guess I'd say it depends on how you like to play...

Personally, I like to know all the specific details about stuff, so I like to look things up. As such, I do wish there was more information in-game (such as scarecrows showing their AoE, maybe a more detailed list of what you sell as well as a log, to keep track of stuff, etc.).

But for the most part, the game is pretty intuitive, at least as far as basic gameplay is concerned.

If you're concerned about maximing your profits/general efficiency, it can be useful to read up on stuff, but the game is very playable without doing so if you prefer a more casual pace and want to discover things on your own.
