Yeah right now... I've left my country village to find work in the city FFVII-style. Although it's just a gap year before university, I've still left in order to find fame and riches happy.gif.

Nevermind.

I live in a town something like Kalm from FF7, which is pretty close to New York City. I think you can figure out the Midgar reference.

I have pretended to walk around a bit in my backyard, and at random, I'd stop and make a stance, then attack the air, cheer, and shout VICTORY.

Every time I win at anything, the victory theme that normally plays after winning a battle in the Final Fantasy series plays in my head, it's a bit funny at times and has caused me to laugh out loud at the strangest times. That's more of an influence from playing so much and not so much me relating my life to it.

My life is already wild enough, I don't think it relates to any singular games but in general, it's easy to relate to characters and their "emotions" throughout the games, such as when a character dies in the game who was close to the party member, if you've lost someone yourself you can kind of impose that into the game. Same with love or heart-break, happyness or what have you.

I will admit that when my last relationship ended, I wanted to pull a Sephiroth and well, let's just say my ex would have been eating Masamune.

I live in a town sort of like the town in Secret of Evermore by Squaresoft. Everything is sorta packed together, and everyone lives near each other, except for the fact that the school includes two towns instead of one...

I always go looking around for someone with amnesia because if I find them then I know there is going to be a great adventure in store.

I whistle some of my favorite music from the game when I'm walking around home or work, such as Aeris' theme, Celes' theme, and the WoB music. I got to wear a sword in a recent wedding, and I performed Cloud's victory dance many times while waiting for people to show up. smile.gif

FTW.

Personally, I haven't imagined my life was a videogame since the 6th grade when I pretended that I was the Bionic Commando with the hook arm when I went on bathroom breaks. I would pretend to swing down the hall and into the lavatory.

i have probly related my whole life to a FF game. Like i was the only 5 year old who played RPG's in my class. I kinda felt isolated from other kids, like Cloud was, when he was a youngen. I also could relate to my life to FF6's Shadow, because im kinda a loner and i wish i had a dog that i took everywhere. Plus, in high school i was a lot like shadow, covering my past, trying to move on. Now adays it appears to me im more of a setzer type of person. I feel like i isolate people from my self, just like Setzer isolates himself from everyone in his airship, and im inthusiastic about things that normal people wouldn't be. lol i dunno, its a scrambled up in there.

I have compared a lot of RPG characters to myself, like Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia (I'm kinda idiotic and loyal like him). I like to do victory poses from various games when I get a point in badminton (I pose with the racket) and I like to play badminton with two rackets like Lloyd with his two swords. Okay, I'm a Lloyd freak wub.gif . One thing I'll never do, though, is my hair like his. It's cool and all, but it would look silly on a girl.

Sometimes, when I do well on a test or something like that, the final fantasy victory song will play in my head dry.gif . And since music of all types are always in my head, video game songs come up a lot.

My dead grandpa had cancer, except in the relation im going to mention the character doesn't die.
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
Cloud gets like a life stream poison and is found at Mideel, but his condition was probably just as bad as cancer.
