It's still an activity that you don't even have to partake in, just like real life. And there are TONS of games that have activities they can do in real life that they'll still do in video games. It's not you being rude, you just lack perception.
Exactly this. I doubt I'll bother with the fishing much myself unless it pops up as a necessity for a quest or something, but I'm not against the fact that an optional side activity has been added to the game. I mean it doesn't take away from the game itself so I don't see the problem.
It just that Final Fantasy went to fun mini-games like a whole entire theme park, to fantasy themed underwater football to..... fishing.

It just doesn't really put the Fantasy in Final Fantasy. It's not everyday you can go to a theme park, or breathe long enough underwater to play a game in a pool. So they feel like a rare and special experience with a element of fantasy in them. Fishing is just well, just that.
