you should be getting items that you can sell.
"Treasures" and they seem to only be for selling to get gil.
Are we sure on that? Cause looks like some sidequests have people asking you for random shyt and I dont wanna go find shyt I already have.
Anyway my initial impressions are good. Game moves at the pace you want it to, Im assuming most players will take it at a snails pace. I haven't progressed the story AT ALL yet. I've been doing hunts which are technically lame, but if you run around in daytime there really isnt shyt to do, hunts kind of replace general 'random' battling with decent rewards. I even did some of the level 17 hunts(at around lvl 7-8 for my crew).... BUT i dont recommend doing that one hunt where its 5 blobs, think a lvl 15 one, that shyt is brutal
Fishing is legit. Gives me those Ocarina vibes. I caught so many god damn fish brehs
The fish mini map color coordinates diff fish so you know what your looking for, change baits for diff types etc. shyt is legit. When you catch that rare fish
The battle system is decent enough. Just stock up on potions and practically nobody will ever die. Im using the wait mode feature and it kind of feels tacked on last minute, especially when you go to a warp point to heal up, the game goes into wait mode cause you aint doing shyt......yet you wanna heal yourself but cant unless you wiggle the left stick constantly at warp points so it doesnt trigger the 'wait'
what gave you this feeling so early in the game?
they said they pushed this game back because they dont want a day one patch nikka i got this game four hours ago and i still installing shyt 
after the big 9gb patch you got to wait 25 mins for more installing 
and get into this.
