Genuinely such an inspiring video. Months ago I was recommended your chocobo racing video and today it was the empyreum weather video that appeared on my feed, so of course I decided to check out on the last one that I haven't seen and I enjoyed this one even more than the other two! :D Wish I had remembered to subscribe before but I feel very lucky yt algo helped me chance upon your channel again. I have only caught the arr big fish quest fish and the Big Three so I still have a long ways to go on my fishing journey. But even with the little I had dabbled I could see how much depth there is hidden in fishing. The last bit about wondering if other niche side content enjoyers see a reflection of themselves in fishers was very relatable and kind of wholesome and heartwarming. :') I've also dabbled in a lot of the side content in this game like bozja eureka, potd, and the older ultimates and it always amazes me how these corners tucked away where most of the playerbase won't touch could hide so much potential that to many these are the main game for them. With the discussions around content draught and people burning out on the game, I understand their complaints and disappointment but I do wish more could take a peek around these corners and discover a whole new world that they might enjoy. Anyways thank you for such a great video and I'm looking forward to your next, no matter what it may be about!
I love how the most random fish can end up as trouble for just one person. There was a random non-legendary ARR fish I sat thru several huge windows for. (But even it did not stack up to my beloathed Sea Butterfly who blocked grandmaster caster for weeks.) But seriously congrats! That's a lot of fish.
@@casskets One of the other people doing this challenge managed to catch both Cinder and Ealad and was blocked from Big Fish solely by Sea Butterfly. Underrated monster
@@CafColeo Sea Butterfly is a huge asshole. It took me at least 100 windows, slipped at least 20 times. Honorable mention to The Matriarch, she's always up but slipped almost 100 times
Sea Butt and Chari gave me SUCH a hard time on my main. Then there's my Cloud char, that effing caught Ruby Dragon first time. I felt SO BAD because my fc mate hit the same window on Mal, and didn't get it.
Sidereal Whale was the last fish I caught for Final Fish, it is indeed an unholy abomination. All of the other "infamous" fish have like 1 or 2 requirements, Sidereal Whale is a combination of literally every single factor that make big fish terrible. By the way, almost all of these awful fish come in .55 patches. The last 15-20 fish I had on my list were all from .55 patches, and not because I went for them last. I guess since I finished before Dawntrail I won't have to worry much about big fish for another 2 years or so.
They all come from .55 patches because that's when they add legendary fish! The last 6 fish in each expansion are extra-hard and versatile lure/fish eyes don't work on them so they'll never be easier either (not like versatile lure would make them easier but fish eyes would definitely help with some of them)
Youre not alone. I am also loathed by the Allagan Sawtooth
You should be feared, if only for your sleep superpower, and your ability to not get discouraged by the rng that fishing ultimately gets gated by

The very careful observer may notice that Sea Butterfly was catch #285 out of 287. This was not because I went for it late.
And thank you!
@@CafColeo when I paused and saw the 20+ window note on that fish I did a fist clench of solidarity

i felt that little rant about lancet fish and sidereal whale so much xD i spent way too much time in lancet jail :')
Fish Eyes will fix Lancetfish in DT. I believe. I have to believe.
They all flashed by so quickly, but can I just say these are some delightful fish names?
But also, congrats! The Final Fish x2 maybe dropping soon?
The last one I need is Cinder Surprise, so uhhhhhhhhhhh could be anywhere from this week to in a year

Sea Butterfly is a destroyer of worlds. Absolutely underrated terror.
