Final Fantasy XV is finallyavailable on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Fans are delighted to receive the game after 10 years of anticipation. The first reviews of the game are generally positive. However, early adopters report game bugs onFinal Fantasy’s forums.

We’ve found various complaints and some of them are quite strange. For example, one user reported that he’s unable to fish in Final Fantasy XV. Here’s what he said:

“I just got the full game (early for some reason but i don’t mind) and it feels like it is impossible to catch a fish.Lets say fishing has three steps, finding a fish (slowly pushing RT near a fish), holding the fish (tilting the stick to any direction) and getting the fish.

For somereasonI am unable to succeed in the second step.Forexamplethe game tells me to go toleftand I go to left but the fish still escapes. It almost feels like it isn’t registering my input. AtfirstI thought it was me, I tried moving the stick slowly, rapidly, repeatedly but nothing works. So at this point I am 90% sure itisntme and it is the game.Is there anyone else who has this problem and is there a solution.I understand that there won’t be many people who have experienced final fantasy nor fishing but I still hope somebody can help.”

According to other users, the problem only persists onXbox One. Unfortunately, no one from the forums had a proper solution for this problem. So, catching fish in Final Fantasy still remains a mystery for some users. Players hope that Square Enix will fix the problem in some of the future updates. Until then, fishes will remain free in the water.

The fishing bug is not the only problem that bothers players who bought the game. Some of the other issues aretoo-small fonts, Chocobos, and more.
