Which Gen is Everyone From?

[SturmChurro]

I’m a zoomer and I HATE all those games...maybe I’m just weird :P

Maybe you are. It's a culture shock to be sure. On the tolerable end you get kids talking about school over mic, and I'm just over here like "I haven't even thought about any of this for going on 10 years", then you get kids like in Rust, GTA online, heck I bought RDR2 for PC and they were screaming on the mic in the online mode. Still, you could just be on the older end of zoomers, it's the teens and preteens you gotta watch out for..

Oh, and I forgot Minecraft, and Roblox.

I dunno. I said Sinnoh, but I've been playing since Red. He could be taking the piss, too.

This is true. Though that begs the question, what made you say Sinnoh?

I'm thirty.

So, a millennial.

Ik this thread came about by boredom but what does this have to do with ffxiv like at all so long as you are age appropriate to play, anything to do with generation born to matters little, there are stuff like facebook/reddit/twitter etc for this sort of thing.

Heck the troll threads are more on point to ffxiv than this thread is and they are goddamn troll threads.

This. Might as well come to the forums to ask people what they ate for dinner last night at this point.

I think that would make for an interesting thread!

Well, the OP asked a simple question out of curiosity, and sure, it is not relevant. But nobody is forced to answer, and in any case it's nice to see that this game has been able to gather several generations of people, methinks

I'm with you there hon. Heck, I've heard of folks from my dad's generation playing! Games unite a lot of people, and it's kind of cool to see who else is out there instead of just assuming it's a bunch of high school and college kids. I think it makes those of us who are older feel a little more connected and not so much the odd person out.

Millennial, 1993. I remember Sega/sonic, Pokemon yellow/blue, Digimon (first season), Legend of Zelda Orcarina of time & Majora's Mask, FFVII-IX being really big when I was a kid. We also had this gray Nintendo, but we had traded it for Nintendo 64. I think Nintendo 64 (Sega and PS1, too) was more prevalent for my childhood, but the gray one was probably more so for my siblings (they're 5-10 years older).


Some people naysay things like this on forums but I understand the curiosity xD It's pretty interesting (and weirdly fun to see the variety /squints/ I expected mostly Z's and millennials. So, when the first post was like I'm Gen X," I was all "oh, that's cool " because it wasn't what I expected. xD
On a side note, my babyboomer dad was actually the one to get me into games. They were mostly PC games and I'd usually play those whenever he brought me into work for a little bit (this was like... when I was toddler or something). He was actually the one who got me into Final Fantasy in the first place, too xD Before I could even read, he, my bro, and I had played FFIX together and it was so much fun. He or my bro would take turns reading the dialogue for me in a very animated way. It was a lot of fun.



You're a millennial, most likely :3 Generations usually span about 20 years (give or take a couple).
