my friends really don't care that i'm a final fantasy freak... some of them like the FF games, and some of them don't care. i don't really talk about it to them... or else if i do, then they'll be like, "hey, that guy in there is hot!" or something... (well, there are plenty of hot FF guys, but that's really not the reason i play the games).
i like FF because it gives me something to do, and i love the storylines and characters... it's interesting.
