Final Fantasy and the Real World

I've being playing FF for years and my family and friends seem to think I'm obsessed, and their probably right. My best man even included my FFXI jobs in a wedding speech... I'm just wondering if anyone else sometimes does something related to FF in the real world? I can't be the only one lol....

If you have what are they? And what happened?

Here are my examples,

I performed the Manderville at my wedding, luckily everyone was pretty drunk at the time and I don't think anyone really noticed what I was doing...

Also, I've been known to recreate Cloud Strife's Victory Pose with my umbrella whilst humming the victory tune. This ended badly because the umbrella was a bit dirty and ended up ruining my shirt as I attempted the sheathe the umbrella for the most realistic finish between my back and bag I had on at the time...

Just a fun thread :)

When I was 7 or 8 years old I "played" Final Fantasy VII at school, in real life : I recruited people, I gave them a FFVII characters and then we fought like in FFVII battles against invisible ennemies, and yes I was obsessed with FFVII, like really ahah

Other than that I draw portraits, and some of Final Fantasy characters

Absolutely love it!

If someone says you play too much Final Fantasy, stop taking to them. You don't need that kind negativity in your life.

When I meet people who also play XIV or XI I like to use emotes.

I'm obsessed with tall, muscular, dark women with one side of their head shaved.

Meanwhile, in Final Fantasy...

...when I'm not playing, I'm doing stuff like this: http://melian-vidumavi.deviantart.co...FXIV-587466336

...does that count? (This is the only FFXIV-related one I've done so far - and it was a christmas present for a friend... working on my own Ul'dah one though!)

Uh... Idk. ;; I guess mine's similar to Kupocoubo's in that I used to like to pretend I was Yuna whenever I'd play make believe games as a kid. ._.;; She was my favorite character from the series. Still one of them. XP

Dunno if it counts as "real life", but I've also had many FFXIV-related dreams. ;;;;

In college my friends and I called each other by FFXII names. We were all going through the game together so that's why.

(I am Vaan)

One of my best friends of 15 years and me live in different countries now, so we only see each other in rl 1-2 times a year, but everyday in FFXIV, so at some point it changed to us calling each other by our ingame names.
Even when we were with other friends or during a class reunion - which got us lots of weird looks, but it just felt more natural than the real name..?

They've featured music from FF games at various sporting events and performances, most notably the Olympics.

Here ya go.

As for me, nope. I can't believe I have included Final Fantasy in my real life activities aside from talking about it with friends.

"I'm captain Basch!" at school, good times.

Im the only person in my life who likes Final Fantasy *cries in a corner*
