RP has nothing to do with the fishing.

Did they mention a wipe after the OB?

You'll only be allowed to carry pre-existing character names over to public release. Stats, equipment, everything else? Good and gone.

This is partly why I'm not so pressed to jump on FFXIV right now.

I'm wondering if they will allow you to keep saved character creation data. Currently, if you make a new character you can use your existing character as a template, even if you have deleted them. I just checked. So I hope that, even with the character wipe, the game will save your creation details.

The character creation data should still be there. I remember that in a few blogs and interviews.

That'll be great. Saving time to just jump back in would be nice, though to be safe, I think I'll jot down all the numbers for good ole Xzenny

The saved character creation data is actually stored locally, so I'm guessing it'll only be lost when you uninstall the game.

At the cost of a possibly extreme case of stating the obvious.
I do see Roleplayers as the sorts of "gameplay creators". People like Square Enix lay foundations, while building upon that story and creating a good environment and expounding upon that foundation is the job of the players. And it is because of that responsibility that not everything is handed to MMORPG players on a silver platter like it is on non-online games. Because the job of the creator is really nothing more than to give the player a really advanced version of a Pen and Paper Role Playing Guide in Computer/Video Game form.
And the Roleplayers, being a major type of gameplay cultivator, have the greater tendency to "Life Simulator" and general immersion improvement to the point of a greater likelihood in things like crafting and fishing. So I must admit, that "Psh, stupid RPer." joke make me chuckle. There really is a "cultivation" versus "non-cultivation" mentality within the MMORPG, the later of which, who only seem to enjoy grinding and what they are handed, I have never been able to understand. Enough so that making a sarcastic joke about immersion activity versus grinding is fairly amusing, at least to me.
[Never explain the joke rule, broken. Socially oblivious activity, engaged.]
