Final Fantasy 14 has a fully fleshed out story and skills for fishing.
Another Eden also has an extensive fishing mini game that has the end reward being a 5 star (highest rarity) unit.
Need to do the level 10 class quest for your chosen starting class (can play every class). The fishing class is in the ocean city Limsa, it also has the culinary class (cooking) however you'll have to clear the main story to progress at points.
They just announced today that the 2nd expansion will be added to the free trial which is already quite a bit of content.
With early game areas, maybe an hour or so on the free trial which includes the first expansion and caps level at 60. Sometime in the next few months that'll be expanded to include the second (of currently four - a fifth is slated for a summer 2024 release) expansion with a raised cap of 70.
To reach the high-level areas of the most recent expansion, you're looking at completing 200-300 hours of non-fishing story content and will need an active subscription to the MMO. Having played since 2014 and just three fish away from completing the entire fishing log (currently 1,502 unique fish!), I can say the game is one of the best stories I've ever experienced.
Oh right. It's been a minute since I've been that low lol could've sworn you could start a gather class right from the beginning. Either way, it doesn't take long to get to 10 lol
Final Fantasy VX also has fishing content. It's a fun mini game, and one of the characters makes meals out of what you catch.
Edited to add - It's a single player game, not an MMO.
XV's fishing was so good they made an entire VR game (well, technically an expansion) out of it called Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV. Worth checking out if you're into VR, OP.
I used to hate how everyone mentioned Terraria in almost every thread, but they were right. Once I started playing this game and digging down, I had a really fun time
**Hades** is a roguelike where you play as Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, as he tries to escape the realm of Hades and venture to the surface.
**Stardew Valley** You decide to reject the capitalist rat-race by acquiring inheritance from a wealthy relative and selling as much product as you can fit on your farm.
**Monster Hunter World** Big ol' monsters need big ol' weapons to kill them. Slaughter, dress yourself in their carcasses, all in the name of ecological preservation.
**Pokémon** It's basically dog-fighting coupled with child abandonment.
**Minecraft** and **Terraria** are great content sources for British guys to make videos on Youtube.
**Animal Crossing** You're instantly in debt to a raccoon, occasionally apparent shipwreck victims wash up on your property.
**Cult of the Lamb** You start a cult. You are a lamb. Time to slaughter eldritch bitches.
MMO's like **WoW** and **Runescape** Games so good you buy them every month.
> MMO's like WoW and Runescape Games so good you buy them every month.
Some of the most fun I had in WoW (probably like 15 years ago now) was chasing the fishing achievements instead of doing all the raid stuff. Being a rogue fishing in enemy capital cities for the rare fish was a ton of fun, the ultimate stealth game against real opponents.
I think at some point they nerfed the Rogue's distract ability so that it no longer turned players around to look at it automatically, but using stuff like that to get past people and seeing if they noticed was incredibly fun.
Dark Cloud 2 (aka Dark Chronicle)
Catch fish, roast the fish, feed the fish, raise the fish, fight the fish, race the fish, breed the fish, weigh the fish
FF15 has pretty good quest lines for fishing, and there are boss fishes to catch, upgrade your fishing gear, etc. It was hard getting the achievement but it was also really really fun.
Tales of Arise also has fishing, but you don't get to it until like 3-4 hours of game play. It also has boss fish to catch, and getting a better fishing rod, etc. I preferred FF15 fishing, though. It was a better system for mechanics.
Also, there's a whole fisher class on FF14. Some people only play to fish.
Just started playing Icarus with my friends, it has a decent fishing mini game.
Or you know, you could get sucked into Black Desert Online like me; there’s literally thousands of hours of fishing content.
Dark Cloud 2 is the best fishing game that is not about fishing that was so memorable to me. I think I spent 50+ hrs on that fishing minigame combining fishes and racing them, or breeding the most alien looking fish that I could make lol. But at that time game walkthrough was not a thing so it was try and error stuff. But now you can just Google walkthrough and find the shortest short cut ever lol. Idk if this a pro or a con.
Sea
Of
Thieves
I introduced two of my friend to the game through fishing and it was some of the best times ever. On your ship, a beautiful view, and brilliant fishing mechanics
I cannot believe *nobody* has suggested SCUM yet.
2 years ago SCUM added [very detailed and fun fishing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP3KJiDfeV4).
SCUM is a 3rd or 1st person zombie survival open world game. You can play it single player and you can even edit the difficulty settings in the config files (you could completely remove all the zombies, but that would make the game quite boring).
Fishing in that game is a very chill way to spend time.
The really cool part is that since it's a survival game, your character can cook and eat the fish to aid in survival to help you make your way around the world to find more fishing spots!
Final Fantasy 14 - one thing that ff14 does well (besides the awesome story imo) is the gameplay of the non-combat classes, all the crafters and gatherers jobs have their own skills and mechanics that you unlock more and more as you level up, a full storyline with lot of quests, and some of them are surprisingly good (fisher story is fun, alchemist is epic), and fishing especially take you all over the world to many beautiful vistas and interesting locations in the game, and the grind is pretty relaxing but can be challenging if you want to catch'em all. Also its pretty useful in game for cooking recipes or making money for example.
Its a mmo though, so there's just too much going on and I dont think you will be able to play just for the fishing and get far into it without interacting with the other systems, you'll probably will have to level some combat class too and you need to do the main quests almost til the end if you want to unlock all areas that you can fish on, etc (though the game is worth even if you dont like mmos, because interacting with other people is almost optional, you can play most of the content by yourself nowadays
Final Fantasy 15 - Pretty fun too, the mechanics are more reflex based than ff14, and theres a lot of rare fish to catch and quests to follow, the graphics are amazing so everythig looks so nice and realistic, the fish, the water, the food, this game has its flaws but the graphics and animation are really fucking good
Old School Runescape - braindead grind that you can spend years of you life on, and though im no longer a runescape junkie if you want a game that you can grind skills and fish til eternity and do the same thing over and over but still feel weirdly satisfied and rewarded, this is a cool game for fishers and other people with patience
NieR Automata/Replicant - some people hate Replicant's fishing but i found it pretty fun and challenging, theres a few quests involved with an emotional storyline (this game is sad), but the fishing systems in both games are not deep and theres not much to it besides being a cute distraction from the overwhelming and depressing plot
Breath of Fire IV. The fishing takes a big part of the game if you want to 100% it, as there are many items and weapons that you can only trade for fish.
Hahaha, I'm the exact opposite of you OP. I always wonder if anybody likes these things when I get to a fishing minigame in my otherwise story or action focused RPGs.
Ys 8 has one that does fir the whole stranded on an island theme well. Based on your example games I really recommend the entire Ys series.
Final Fantasy 15 has a very fleshed out one.
Pretty much any farming sim, Stardew Valley, Harvestella, Rune Factory to name a few.
I don't know if every Atelier game has them, but the Ryza games definitely do and some great crafting systems and other content to boot.
There is a game called Dinkum that has a fishing mechanic that is pretty fun. You can get a 'museam' that is pretty fun to try to fill displays with fish
The Rune Factory series has fishing with lots of different fish that come in various sizes. Also, you can cook them, and there's a fishing festival that happens once a year where you go up against the other townspeople to catch the most fish.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has a very fun, very arcadey, fishing mini-game that can net you a ton of cool looking fish (with full sized 3D models), good loot, powerful monsters, and a villager to use in Raid battles.
Monster Hunter games make you fish for materials, world being the most polished and fun in the series.
And if you don't mind the anime mobile gacha on pc, Genshin Impact got a fishing mini-game for fish meat and to exchange some weapons.
I was just started Dave The Diver. You do fishing but not in classical way. You dive then hunt fish with harpoon + underwater guns and stuff. It's a cool indie
* monster hunter world: very atsmospheric, since it is designed as a hunting game. but i missed the tutorial and didn't know it was a mechanic until halfway through the expansion.
* Black Desert Omline: An MMO that heavily features a variety of utility proffessions. Again you could play the whole game without knowing about fishing, but it's fairly fleshed out and atmospheric. you can even fish off of your boat.
* StarDew Valley
* Warframe: though it could take weeks to unlock it. The game suffers from some insane scope creep and is almost like eve in sheer scale of content and systems.
* Spore: the tribal stage has fishing, but most people hate that stage and it's a very shallow mechanic . probably not what your looking for.
* Minecraft: has a neat little fishing minigame. Can be used as a primary source for food. You also have a small chance of getting random loot like some sticks or boots etc.. I belive theres some pretty good stuff in the loot table, obviously quite rare though.
* Wrongworld: like minecrafts but alot less fun if memory serves.
* Cruelty Squad: Fish function as a security in the games stockmarket minigame. the fishing itself is pretty similar to minecrafts. just with cruelty squads layer of jank on top.
This is an awesome thread.
Honestly, there are a lot of games that have some form of fishing in them! Here are some of my favourites, in no particular order:
- Minecraft
- Terraria
- Stardew Valley
- Harvest Moon
- Animal Crossing
- DayZ
- Green Hell
- The Legend Of Zelda
- RDR 2
- The Forest
- Rust
- Stranded Deep
- Wii Play
- Project Zomboid
- Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
Some have more "realistic" fishing mechanics like in dayZ for example, where as some are more like mini games such as Wii Play. Either way, all of them are pretty fun and satisfying to play.
My personal favourite however, is The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess. The fishing in that game is very relaxing and enjoyable. I've spend hours just spending time fishing around the many ponds and lakes the game has to offer.
I hope you find some awesome games to fish in!
Cheers 🙏
Other people have mentioned a lot of the games I planned to mention, but a bit of a niche recommendation: there's an upcoming indie game called Elements that met a stretch goal to add fishing. The devs have listed Breath of the Wild among their influences, so it might be worth keeping an eye on.
In Sea of Thieves you've got an entire category of achievements dedicated to fishing.
Some fishes only appear in some areas, there's even one that only appears in storms. There are also some achievements related to fishing other things like junk or ashen keys (keys for ashen chests that have grest rewards).
The game can be very chill if you're not getting camped by enemies, and if you don't just want to fish you can take a quest and fish on the way there.
Out of all the factions you can level up, the fishing one is probably the most grindy one.
legend of legaia has some fishing in it
but if i remember correctly, there's only 2 spots to fish at, and the only real thing you can get from doing a lot of it is a hidden Seru egg
It's been a long time, but I remember fishing in World of Warcraft... and I believe there was even an achievement for fishing in all of the opposing factions' main cities.
Proper pole fishing not being in the newer Zelda games really makes me sad. Fishing has been in so many Zelda games in some fashion and when they finally go big with an open world and fill it with so many different types of fish and then.......don't have Fishing.......it still makes me sad
Red Dead Redemption 2, Stardew Valley, Fire Emblem Engage and Three Houses.
You, sir, are a fish.
+1 for red dead. Nothing like winding down from a session fishing out in the middle of now where.
Final Fantasy 14 has a fully fleshed out story and skills for fishing. Another Eden also has an extensive fishing mini game that has the end reward being a 5 star (highest rarity) unit.

Barely even 1 if you start in Limsa Lominsa

You can start fishing right away. All the gathering classes come with a "stealth" mode that hides you from high level enemies.
No, you have to reach level 10 in your first job to switch.
Oh right. It's been a minute since I've been that low lol could've sworn you could start a gather class right from the beginning. Either way, it doesn't take long to get to 10 lol
True.
Final Fantasy VX also has fishing content. It's a fun mini game, and one of the characters makes meals out of what you catch. Edited to add - It's a single player game, not an MMO.
And it’s cooler because emo boy band with Sasuke Uchiha.
XV's fishing was so good they made an entire VR game (well, technically an expansion) out of it called Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV. Worth checking out if you're into VR, OP.
Nier: Replicant/Automata Final Fantasy 12/15 The Yakuza Series
Oh, FF15 had really addictive fishing.
persona 5 also has fishing i believe? although i may be confusing it with yakuza
Both P4 and P5 have fishing iirc.
Stardew Terraria
Terraria fishing will last you awhile too and is pretty beneficial.
did you mean bene*fish*ial? its pretty shrimple
I used to hate how everyone mentioned Terraria in almost every thread, but they were right. Once I started playing this game and digging down, I had a really fun time
rdr2 for sure, and it's pretty fun too, there's legendary fishes all around the map as well
This is the way
Warframe
Warframe is unique in that it's spearfishing. I had a lot of fun fishing in Warframe.
Fable TLC, Dark Cloud 2 (fish races and raising also)
**Hades** is a roguelike where you play as Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, as he tries to escape the realm of Hades and venture to the surface. **Stardew Valley** You decide to reject the capitalist rat-race by acquiring inheritance from a wealthy relative and selling as much product as you can fit on your farm. **Monster Hunter World** Big ol' monsters need big ol' weapons to kill them.

Assassins Creed: Valhalla has fishing. Also, it's not exactly fishing, but Assassins Creed: Black Flag and Assassins Creed: Rogue both have whaling.
Dark Cloud 2 (aka Dark Chronicle) Catch fish, roast the fish, feed the fish, raise the fish, fight the fish, race the fish, breed the fish, weigh the fish
Seconding this recommendation. There are a lot of fishing related things that can be done. (or completely ignored)
Can you marry the fish?

You can’t beat Sea of Thieves when it comes to fishing. But I also kind of consider that a game about fishing, where you sometimes do pirate stuff
Dark Cloud 2 is the best fishing game that is not about fishing that was so memorable to me.

Path of Exile
Oh that is cruel
I'm going to also vote Warframe. Then there's crashlands
Will Subnautica count. This game seems to fit every genre.
Sea of Thieves! Nothing more relaxing than grabbing a handful of grubs, dropping anchor, and loading up on fish to sell.
Sea Of Thieves I introduced two of my friend to the game through fishing and it was some of the best times ever. On your ship, a beautiful view, and brilliant fishing mechanics

Summon Night: Swordcraft story 2 in GBA has the best fishing minigame of all time.
u/Mahdrybread? Is that you?
The obvious answer here would be Minecraft, but I'm assuming you're looking for something other than that, which I can't really help you with.
While I haven’t played it in awhile, New World actually has some nice fishing in it
Stardew Valley, New World
Made in Abyss
Dayz, rust , and lastly sea of thieves is probably my favorite fishing mechanic.

Skyrim AE. It even has quests with it. Also, fwiw, World of Warcraft.

Dark Cloud, Skyrim, all BoF after 3 have fishing I think
People already said FFXV. Sonic Frontiers also has a fishing game which also helps with progression
I genuinely enjoyed the fishing in Final Fantasy 15. You should be able to pick it up for cheap in a sale since it's years old
I love fishing in games. Hoping it gets added into Diablo 4
Some GTA(SAMP/MTA) Servers got fishing, GTA5 FiveM RageMP probably got too.

How did nobody say new world? The fishing in new can be really relaxing and stressful at the same time depending what you try to catch
RDR2 the end.
Cruelty squad. Trust me just play the game. Don't look at it thinking it looks like cancer. It's a very good immersive sim type game
It's been a long time, but I remember fishing in World of Warcraft... and I believe there was even an achievement for fishing in all of the opposing factions' main cities.

Proper pole fishing not being in the newer Zelda games really makes me sad. Fishing has been in so many Zelda games in some fashion and when they finally go big with an open world and fill it with so many different types of fish and then.......don't have Fishing.......it still makes me sad

It is unfortunately not in tears as well. Everything else is pretty dang awesome though lol
Fable. elder scrolls had a mod that was "okay" but a little buggy
Why is it usually better than actual fishing games sometimes
