Umm...Their Ummm...Doing the wave? So what I got killed!!!

[TyphoonThaReapa]

A'yo, I actually have a topic related to FF people...:rolleyes2...Alright, I'm sitting here playing FF1 on PSP and my aunt walks up to me after I finished a battle and noticed the character waving their hands in the air. She asked, "What the hell are they doing?" and I looked and said, "Their...umm...doing the wave..."

I also remember a time long ago where my mother's boyfriend watched me playing FFX and he saw me summon Shiva. He was like, "That's one fine ass monster..." I had nothing to say. He was right. Unfortunately, I was fighting Anima and he killed her with his overdrive. He then said, "Damn, that bitch got her ass handed to her..."again, I had nothing to say...:rolleyes2


So, what's the funniest or weirdest thing you had to explain about any FF game to a person who had no knowledge whatsoever about FF?

[Sarc the Swordsman]

When I first got my PS2, the only game I had with it was FFX. Sadly, my TV decided to break; so I had to rely on playing it downstairs in the living room with my parents watching. (Which is pretty off putting since they tried to be helpful by pointing out the obvious.)

A few of the awkward things to explain was the scene were Tidus is on the boat to Kilika, and looks through a telescope. He lingers on a certain part of Lulu for a few seconds (and then I had to explain that it wasn't me lingering on Lulu, but part of the scene).

Another awkward moment was when my mother walked in on the infamous laughing scene between Tidus and Yuna in Luca. "Why are they laughing like that?" I couldn't answer.

This belongs in General FF

My grandmother has a habit of popping in my room for only two seconds at a time when the game is loading. She actually thought I was going insane because she only saw me looking at a black screen when I came in xD


...there was also this time I had the FFVII menu up with just Cloud, and she said, "Oh, that's a pretty girl."
I then explained that Cloud is a guy.

I can't imagine explaining the Honey Bee Inn part to someone

[Bolivar]

Oh man the infmous "I'm Captain Basch!" minigame with people in the next room... i didn't feel like explaining

Cloud doing some kind of limit break "Wow, that's a bad chick" - my uncle

any rpg people ask - "why's he always running?"... 20 minutes later - "he's still running!".

[Disco Potato]

Once I was playing FF7 in the middle of the part where Cloud has to win the Chocobo race to get everyone out of the prison, and my dad walked in. I forgot what he said exactly, but he was generally confused and kind of freaked out. I said something like, "it's a long story..." and was all ready to explain the whole idea behind chocobos, but then he said, "I don't want to know." I don't really blame him - the part he saw was really acid trippy

Yuna giving Leblanc a massage was an interesting experience to explain.

Actually, all of X-2.

My mom thought X was a movie when she came in during the spring scene, and she wouldn't believe it was a game until I showed her the game case.

Unfortunately, I was fighting Anima and he killed her with his overdrive.

Anima is female.

Anima is female.

Indeed. Seymour's mother.
Worst thing I was playing FF7, and I had got up to the part where...that happens in the ancient city. My mother (Who is a gaming retard, sorry!) walks in and suddenly shouts "WHY IS THEIR NO BLOOD!!!!"

another...funnier one.
Me: *Playing FFXII* I'M CAPTAIN BASCH!!!!(I was sugar high from skittles...)
Brother(25, lol): STFU!!!!
Me: YOU STFU!!!!
Brother: STFU!!!!

It went on like this until he went out to the pub...by this time, sugar crash...

Me: I need to get a life.

My friend brought in his FFIX strategy guide to science class once (or I was letting him borrow mine, I forget) and our science teacher took it away from us. Then he looked at the cover, and was like "wow, she's really cute" and pointed at Zidane. And then the class lol'd because he obviously wasn't used to seeing highly iffemainte male Japanese art.

My dad watched me play Final Fantasy VIII one time, he came into my room with my laundry, and I was at the bit where Edea is making her speech. He said, reading the screen: "'Lowlifes. Shameless filthy wretches'... This is boring..." and walked out.

How right he was! :rolleyes2

[TyphoonThaReapa]

Unfortunately, I was fighting Anima and he killed her with his overdrive.

Anima is female.

Lol, I stand corrected once again...:rolleyes2

[rubah]

my dad refers to Kimarhi as the Lopper and Auron as the Denogginator, after the serial killer from seinfeld. Tidus is Pants and Squall is Pseudo-Pants, because of the intricate similarities and still differences between the games.

That is very true. I think I've given up describing what I'm playing to whoever's watching and has no idea what's going on.
