Hello everybody. I'm another RPG fan that happened to stumble across this forum the other day, and I decided I'd join. My exciting news for you all is that I have just beaten Final Fantasy IX for the first time; I have owned the game since I was in middle school I believe, but just never got around to beating it. Even though I never was a fan of the art style (which partially is what turned me off to the game when I was younger), I thoroughly enjoyed playing through it. I'm in the minority that has chosen Final Fantasy VIII as my favorite in the series, though that was the first in the series that I had ever played. I am also a huge fan of the Xenosaga series. I currently am a Junior in college as a Secondary Education. I also love to write and hope to have a novel published someday. So there you go, me in a nutshell.

Welcome Scotty.
I like FF8 too, mainly because of the sorceresses and love themes. Though my favorite will always remain FFT :love:.
I also love to write and hope to have a novel published! What genre do you write in? I do detective fiction :p.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

The genre I'd like to write in changes quite a bit (which is partially why I've never managed to finish writing anything of significant length). I've always been a fan of the Fantasy genre though, and that is what I usually come back to with my story ideas. I have been brainstorming a lot during my recent school semester for a fantasy idea I've had that I hope to get started on soon this summer. If nothing else I will probably work on some short stories to try to flesh out some of my characters more. Detective Fiction sounds like it would actually be a lot of fun to write for.

Tactics is one that I had never beaten. When I was younger I wasn't a big fan of the SRPG genre, and I could never get very far in the game. When I get some free time I want to buy The War of the Lions so I can finally try to beat it though. I should probably play through my copy of Jeanne D'arc before I go buying another game on my psp though.

Welcome Scotty! We have so much in common! I'm going for Secondary education as well. which subject are you going to teach? I'm doing Math. :moomba:

Also based on your username I assume your name is Scott and thats my name as well :bigsmile:

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I am planning on teaching English. I actually do enjoy math though, and I am pretty decent at it when I have to be. I was horrible at explaining match concepts when I tried to help other people in my classes though, so I have since decided it is probably best for me not to teach that subject, haha.

There are a lot of aspiring authors here, I imagine you can post some work in the Writer's Corner to get feedback and maybe hints or tricks (or you could share some!)

I've only beaten a handful of FF games despite having played them for gosh over a decade now. I wasn't very good at them as a kid :jess:

I hope you have fun here buddy!

Ah, IX is my favourite but VIII isn't far behind :D Very much welcome, make yourself at home!
