Final Fantasy helped me learn to type faster than my entire school. and I learned a little japanese and I had to learn how to make a better computer when ffxi exploded in my computer and I had to fix it. Also I think I have insomnia.
I can relate to all of this minus the insomnia part. I just get repetitive strain injury from having used a keyboard and mouse more than some people would in their entire life.
I'm constantly reminded of the game when I see a car in front of me with a license plate that consists of letters like SMN or BLM.
Also very guilty of FFXI-related dreams on more than one occasion.
Some time ago back when i had my appartment i had a dream Tiamat was attacking my town. And was flying over wallmart blowing shit up <_<. I was calling random people on the phone so we could "gather together" rofl
How many people have FFXI-related license plates? I sure as hell didn't just get one 3 weeks ago...nope.
This never ceases to amuse me. First time I saw the sign for this I started laughing maniacally. I was riding with my boss at the time...it was interesting trying to explain to him why that was so funny. I'm pretty sure he still thinks I'm completely insane.
Damn JPs and their rids.
If only they had gotten the spelling right...

The THF one was deleted by poster already ;;
I saw a plate that said "821 IRL" today while driving to my boyfriend's house, and I sat there for a minute wondering exactly what he does IRL that has anything to do with 821.
That's in my state too...
/facepalm
I also met someone in game and dated her for 20 months. Ended up not working out, but the majority of the relationship was very positive and are some of the happiest memories of my life.
I also met up with a bunch of buddies I met in game, hung out played games and even went to a couple of anime conventions together. Other then that... I once went to school after staying up all night trying to get a Soboro (and failing). That was a really awful day.
Hotpiercedguy was the one with THF license plate.. and chocobo lic. plate frame lol
I occasionally attempt to move to third person view because I'm outdoors and like 3rd person better when I'm outdoors in FFXI!
I had this dream last night that I was running to Jugner on my BLU and I noticed KA was up. Come to find out there was some RDM there who told me 3 mnks each trying to solo wiped to it and it had been up for hours. So he and I duoed it, but then my BLU/PUP friend(with a lv75 frame somehow nuking Blizz4s Q_Q) started to fight. Suddenly those two warped out of nowhere and I somehow wiped. ;;
So I come back out to Jugner to find out it was missing. It turns out that Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer had it in their suite and when I got there they were trying to have some crab meat for dinner.
I didn't get the belt. ;;
I often refer to my own brother by his in-game name when talking to my parents and friends. He does the same thing when referring to me though, so I think they are used to it...
We have a Mini Cooper, which we also refer to as the TaruMobile. We decided to stick with our wildlife plate, but several FFXI-related plates were available in Ohio including: 2TARUS, TARUDRG, REDMAGE.
Also, I keep on seeing a freeway exit for North Gustaberg. On second look, it's usually North Broadway.
can't remember the last time I slept more than 4 or 5 hours.. brb nappin (for real)
Wow I went through a phase when I did this, was years ago and i took a shower between kirin pops, and 2x w.legs dropped, I was wet naked and happy, picture it, love it etc... This happened again a month later and then i just randomly started showering and staying naked for claims when i would remember
I havent done it in like 2 years though, however now that you mention it, maybe i'll start doing it again...need something to help with haute drop rate.
As for FF in my life.
Have dropped or failed all my university courses 3 seperate semesters which resulted me me changing programs 3 times. Have broken up with 2 short term relationships because dating was really cutting into event time, I have 10% the social life i used to.
I skip family events all the time if they clash with game events, I found a job where I can play at work...fuck this game but I cant quit.
I'm currently studying psychology and plan to specialize in gaming addictions, or at least advertise that so that concerned parents will bring their fucked up kids to me, Ideally i'll convince some FFXI kids to quit and give me their accounts, need more relic.
