Wife comes in when I start to level.

Wife: Why are you wearing underwear in battle?
Me: It's the best at this level
Wife: Sure..

Wife: Why are you wearing a skirt?
Me: ...good stats baby!

Different mage class
Wife: Is that a dress?
Me: . . .

Noct chest:
Wife: New skirt huh?
Me: But this one has metal, it's a metal skirt- way better!

Noct now with miss matching pants and boots that shows my knee caps:
Wife: . . .
Me: IT'S SE'S FAULT, I'LL GO GLAMOUR IT TOMORROW!
Wife: What is glamour? Sounds worse.
Me: huehue



And while I first started back in 1.0, she always came in while I was killing the cute monsters (snurbles, squirrels, sheeps, ect ect...).

Wife has no idea what ARR is about, but she questions SE all the time lol.

*Watching the end of an era cut scene for the first time with my 9yo son, where Bahamut is released and destroys the world.*
*Louisioux is starting to seal Bahamut away for the first time*

Son: Yes! They did it! He just saved everebo-

*Bahamut breaks free*

Son: (Whispering) Oh no...

*Bahamut begins to destroy everything*

Son: He shouldnt do that, he's destroying the game!

*Bahamut is blasting everyone, Louisioux puts up his shield*

Son: That will save them right? They are going to win, right dad? The good guys always win!

*Bahamut destroys Louisioux's shield*

Son: NO!

*Bahamut is readying Mega Flare*

Me: *explains what Louisioux is trying to do to save the warriors of light*

*One by one the warriors of light teleport to safety but Louisioux stays behind and a smile of satisfaction crosses his face as he disappears in the explosion.*

Son: *between sobs in my lap* He saved everyone but he didnt save himself. *sob* that is so sad...

*after the video was finished*

Son: Dad, When the game comes out, I want to make a character. Please!?

Me: (uses mount roulette, gets goobue mount)

wife: WTF is that thing???

me: its a goobue.

wife: why are you riding it? I thought you rode around on chocobos! (she's learning!)

me: well, I do. But in this game there's all sorts of mounts. See look! (Hits mount roulette again, gets goobue again)

wife: Its that thing again! Ew you can see its butt!

me: well, yea, yea you can.

wife: why would you want to look at that butt all day while you ride around,

me: I mean... its just.. I .... babe? (she's leaving) babe???

That's Japanese culture. That's how they sing certain songs in their language. I love that track though, its so anime.


This thread is full of laughs.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Mom Pls. BibleThump

A few months ago my family had some relatives over, my mom had my two little cousins (once removed I think is the term? Cousin's daughters) come into my room since I have a couple figures and statues of characters.

Cousin 1 (elder sister, 10 I think): What are you playing?

Me: Final Fantasy XIV, it's an online game.

Cousin 2 has no interest as she looks at my Milla Maxwell statue and Lara Croft figure from the CEs of their respective games.

Cousin 1: Final Fantasy? Is Cloud in this? (she played Kingdom Hearts for the first time while they were over, she had already done
Olympus and was enamored by Cloud when he appeared. I told her Cloud was from FF since she was very interested in him lol).

Me: No, he's in a different game.

Cousin 1: Oh... (could see the sheer disappointment on her face. Suddenly a toad aggros me and pulls me)

Cousin 1: Heartless? (as I kill it)

Me: No it's just a monster. You want to try? You get to make your own character and stuff.

She shook her head "no" with the same disappointed look on her face and they both left to play watch Naruto or something on my aunt's ipad before I could offer to put FF7 in for her lol. I did later that day, but she didn't seem interested in any other game than KH, at least she really liked KH xD

Me: -Is healing like a big pro boss; IT'S HAPPENING!!!
Mom: Hey that looks cool. Is this Final Fantasy online? -STARES INTENTLY; O_O..
Me: Yeah it is. It's pretty fun. O:
Mom: Looks different from XIII. Looks really good! -Get's all close, stares at TV;
Me: ... Why are you sooooo close. Dx STOP WATCHING ME!
Mom: Can I not spend time with my daughter?! DO YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE? O^O
Me: No! Go in the kitchen woman!
Mom: I hope you die in this game! I HOPE EVERYONE DIES. -Walks away; By the way, making Mac and Cheese before you go to work. :eek: Now pause the game.
Me: I CAN'T PAUSE IN DIS GAME! AMG.
Mom: Hahaha noob game. -Sips Crystal Light;

Ahw man...I love my mom. xD This happened last year.

My Father-in-Law just calls it 'The bird-butt game'
...because I guess it seems every time he's been at our house while I'm playing and looked over my shoulder I had my chocobo out....and since I'm riding it you see it from behind.

My 6 year old daughter now knows all about DPS, Healer, Tank, retainers, minions, dungeons, etc. from watching me play and asking 14 million questions. :D
