Where are all the FF Players?

[AxeluteZero]

Sorry if the title is a little misleading, but seriously...

There are no people in my city who play FF. Either that, or I can't find any of them.

I know one other person who's played FF at my school (out of 1300 kids). Not only that, but I have never, EVER, IN MY LIFE, met a girl who plays FF.

Where are all the FF players?! WTF? We need to have like, a FF Convention for the US FF players. Seriously. Either that, or have one in London and buy me tickets. XD

Does anyone have like, a tight circle of FF player-RL-friends?

[LocoColt04]

A tight circle? No. My circle's pretty loose, actually.
<insert your own joke about whores here>

I know a couple dozen people who are fanatics for the series, and another hundred or so who love the games but aren't so crazy about them. Numbers are not exaggerated, either... I know too many people. I think if you need to find more players, you should start expanding your circle of friends.

Of these couple dozen fanatics, there are three of them sitting in an apartment with me right now, three of them sitting in an apartment just down the street, another two at the store I work at, another seven at the store I used to work at... etcetera.

Get yourself hooked up with a job at a game retailer. You'd be surprised who plays what.

Very few people I know have played or even heard of Final Fantasy - even fewer know what an RPG is. You would have thought that living in a city where all the shops and ads are based, you'd find more people that have heard of Final Fantasy... It sucks in the same way how few people know who Theory are...

My friend Ella has heard of Final Fantasy, but I don't think she has played it. I've shown her a few in-game movies on YouTube, and she has watched a few other FF movies, which I haven't heard of lol, but still...

[Almasys]

I seriously know what you're getting at. It's the same with anime at my school =.= You have to start talking about FF or something before they pop up with "you play that too?!"

But outside of school I know people who play the game and we talk about it pretty much here and there and help each other when we're stuck somewhere or want a different way of beating a boss.

But other than that, I know how you feel ^^;

[V_Translanka]

When I go into video game or comic stores there are people who know about the FF series...Also, there are tons of fantasy/scifi-centered cons where I'm sure there are tons of FF players...I guess you just have to look in the right place? I mean, RPGs aren't often multi-player experiences, so I think we often keep to ourselves. lol

[Doc Rocco]

No one where I live has heard of Final Fantasy, except one friend who has seen Advent Children. The only games my friends play are sports (NBS, SFL etc.), Halo and GTA. Seriously. No one knows RPGs even exist. It's depressing.

Most people hear tend to associate the words 'Role Playing' in any sense you use them with geeks and 20 sided dice. Naturally, that means few people I know are into Final Fantasy let alone any RPG franchise of any kind.

It's all about Halo, Guitar Hero and occasionally DDR and the like here. Not the worst games by no means, but hardcore RPG fans seem a minority in a lot of places...

The positive side? The games are always in stock at stores.

[Strong Bad]

Haha... loose circle.


Uh, I know a fair sum of people who've either played FF or at least know enough about what it is to insult it. I'm pretty sure most people that frequent video games know about Final Fantasy games... They're famous for being extremely long. Not a lot of people can take a game that takes you... 90+ hours to beat.


I'm getting behind on my console gaming anyways - I don't have any of the new generation systems (Wii, Ps2, what have you).. I generally just play World of Warcraft... but I canceled my subscription yesterday... maybe I'm just out of the loop? Poop?


Nah, I'm just awesome.

[winterborn86]

I doubt if any of my friends ave heard of an FF game lol, my partner see me play em and he says they are crap, but he is soooo WRONG, its better than his 'pro evo 08' lol
I use to feel like i was the only girl who played FF until i came here. but ive not yet come across any one from norwich. Am i the only 1???

[Crazy Chocobo]

I thought I was the only person who likes the series while I was going to high school but found out one of my good friends loved it too, that made me happy. We used to chat about it and it was awesome. Nobody else had any idea what we were talking about. My other friends from school don't really know about it, not many people in my family do either. It doesn't worry me too much, I like it and that is the main thing.

[Spiral Architect]

Hahaha, Floozies.

I have 4 friends who are fanatic about the series, we get together with 4 Tv's and play lol.

But becides from that, I really wouldn'tnk anyone else in my town plays it lol.
Quite sad actually, as many of them are avid RPG players.
