I'll be honest and reveal some things I've actually done / still do:
* listen to every MIDI soundtrack on headphones while at work
* create animated ringtones (CMX files) for my Sprint Vision phone using FF3 images and MIDI's
* draw sketches of various characters during boring meetings

Here's some humor:
* Expect to see ghosts and departed souls on passing freight trains
* Half-believe that Setzer is a Casino mogul out in Vegas...

Wishful Thinking:
* I wish the monsters would be destroyed in a less-generic, more satisfying way -- I'd like to see sprays of blood when they're killed with a weapon, burn and scream when hit with a Fire 3, puke and die when hit with Bio, etc etc.
* I wish the game would either allow for greater than 9999 damage _or_ make the enemies much more difficult at the higher levels (50+).
* To make the game more difficult, allow some monsters or bosses to drain levels or status points off a character. Another variation would be to have a boss steal some of your best weapons, armor, relics or espers. Challenging, aye?

[SIZE=1][FONT=Times]Well here we go...the only one I can think of that I actually still do since FFVI came out AND with my original cartridge...

-Your first sitting with this game having never seen it before...you beat the game in less than 40 game hours with characters below level 40 because you have played Final Fantasy since the first and realized it was no different

-After a few times of getting more and more items and secrets...You beat the game in one sitting in less than 29 hours by following the CES challenge rules...it was rather difficult my first attempt at it

- and for my final I've played it too long scenario
---sitting on raft going in circles just to see if Terra can actually learn Ultima at Level 99 before you meet Ultross for the first time.

Thanks it's been fun but I'm leaving the game paused to write this...BYE

You've Played TOO MUCH FFVI (is it even possible to have too much?!? Nah!) when:

-you think Kefka comes from Derry in the stae of Maine and his real name is Bob Gray.
-If this isn't true, you're glad he didn't join forces with Pennywise from Derry, Maine.
-You intend to dye your hair white, cut up your face and start travelling and gambling.
-You wonder if Atma Weapon has anything to do with the Soul Edge and Calibur
-(for talented girls): you wear a Moogle suit and Fake Mustache and wonder why people are so suprised to see you dressed like that.
-You think if the thing that Siegfried found in the cave was the Soul Edge (no wait...that's too much Soul Calibur..)
-You post on the CoN. (nothing bad 'bout it!)
-You replay FFVI YET AGAIN.

You pick fights to build up your EXP.

You think your mom's Station Wagon is a set of Magitek armor.

You hold up an emerald and try to summon Tritoch and you are shocked when it doesn't work.

OK, I've experienced some more of these...

-You invent a time machine so you can go back to the age of dinosaurs so you can kill a brontosaur and gain a few levels
-You avoid geometrically triangular islands for fear of getting sucked in by a giant worm
-You have a friend (or enemy) beat you up to the point of barely being alive so you can find out your personal desperation attack
-You develop a fear of the Three Stooges
-You go to an opera hoping to witness a live battle between some warriors and a giant, talking, purple octopus
-You believe that dinosaurs brought on their own destruction. After all, they controlled the meteors...
-You search through the garbage dumps of giant factories, hoping to find Shiva nad Ifrit
-You try to set all clocks to 6:10, and wait for 50 seconds

--------------------
Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

Hee hee... My turn...

- When you see a chainsaw and a hockey mask, you think of Edgar, not Jason.
- You've played the game more times than recommended by Squaresoft itself.
- You've gotten every single rage in the game... including the two that you weren't supposed to be able to get... somehow.
- You dream up possible sequels/prequels to the game.
- You actually MAKE a sequel/prequel to the game.
- You get everyone up to LV. 99 and beat the crap out of Kefka... when you first fight him at the Imperial Camp.
- You try to make an AutoCrossbow.
- The AutoCrossbow works.
- You end up knowing more than Master ZED (fat chance of that happening, though).
- You get sucked into the game world and can't get out until a monster comes around and kills you. (speaking literally and figuratively)
- You drew a moogle for your art project. (shuttup... leave me alone)
- When you do a practice swing at someone, you do a little hop forward and slash at them while they're 50 feet away. And you don't mind this one bit. (leave me alone!) wacko.gif

-You start thinking there should be a warning label on the box saying :'FF VI should not be used with Alcohol or other drugs'
-You want a really bright light to kill people
-You think your dog will protect you from a nutty guy
-You wonder why Aragorn doesn't use the Illumina sword

You're afraid to go outside for fear of running into an invisible monster the size of a several story building.

You laugh maniacly before entering any room.

You decide that Cyan would have made an awesome jedi, and could have killed Vader in a New Hope because of his specialty sword attacks.

You know you've had too much FFVI when...

... you're always careful not to call it FFIII.

... you learn 65816 ASM just so you can hack the game (guilty).

...you not only hate 3d games, but you wish the real world were tile-based as well.

...you behave as if the real world were tile-based.

...you sing FFVI songs acapella whenever you're bored.

...you spend hours decoding game functions and trying to find a way to remap the S-RAM.
...you can't help but walk toward flashing blue lights and say "ting!"

...you swear you had a girlfriend named Rachel.

...you're game time reads 99:59, and it has for as long as you can remember.

...Step Mine takes 199 MP.

...look for secret passages under rich people's homes.

...you tell your loved ones that you Uwaoo them.

You've had too much FF6:

-if you repeatedly post on this forum
-If you wonder why Tarzan and Mowgli don't have green hair
-you expect the flare signals to work only if the sky's level is divisible by 5
-you attack clowns on sight
-you kill Kefka in one attack in the last battle without cheating.

I got a few:

- Shock someone with a tazer gun or two wires, and when they ask what the hell you're doing, you claim proudly, "I'm using my special ability shock!"
- You run around madly proclaiming, "Kupo! Kupo!"
- The neighbour's dog starts barking at you evilly, so you leap on to it in an attempt to learn its moves.
- Another dog comes to its aid, so when it bites you, after the pain recedes you wonder why you can't perform its abilities.
- Your pet hamster dies so you try and perform Life 3 on it.
- You adopt a strange fear of octopuses and refuse to go anywhere near water just in case...
- You attach pompoms to every animal in your house and try to teach them how so say, "Kupo."
- You go to the local mine and are shocked when you can't find Umaro.
- You are also shocked when the earthworms in the back garden won't eat you and transport you to Triangle Island.
- You dress up in drag and start mimicing everyone.
- The model skeleton in your classroom is scaring you, so you throw your home made "phoenix down" at it. biggrin.gif

Doesn't matter, however, because I don't live in the U.K. happy.gif

-You search for Mog, either because you want Mog or you want him to lead you to a six hundred lb. sasquatch

-You go to every island surrounding the Veldt (that is also part of the Veldt), thinking perhaps this is where you'll find the monsters that you can't get on the Veldt (unfortunately, I've done this...)
