    Worst thing to explain ever...we had to bring in a sample of Art for school, so i decided to cut up (BLASPHAMY!!!) one of my old guides which was now useless. As i walked into Art and put it on the table, my dear friend had the balls to shout out.
    "WHY THE **** DID YOU BRING IN A FRIEKEN TURKEY!!!" Put it this way, for 60 minutes, me and 2 friends were trying to explain chocobos to the class. i did get full marks though, for imaginitive thinking and explaining the style of it well...

    Working a summer job with my dad's company, I was force to play FFX in front of him since we only had one tv. So I finally beat the game and I'm all into the emotion, the music, and everything and then came

    "You're gonna cry. You always cry. Look, you're crying."

    To this day, my dad still quotes this back to me whenever i complain about something. Damn you Jecht, and your repetitive anecdotes.

    i have a friend who's really into shooting games, and kindof against RPGs. so once my friend brought ff1 on his psp to school and we kinda took turns to playit. sooner or later my first friend would want to play and start complaining that it's so gay, etc. then once he asked: "why don't they have to walk to the enemy to attack them? they just step forward a bit!"
    warning: i am NOT funny.

    When I was playing FF7 for the first time, my dad walked in when they were in the train after the first bombing mission. He was like 'Why are they in a train?' Then he came in when I was going for the second bombing and he was like 'A train again? Looks like a boring game...' Several years later I'm playing FF8 and my dad walks in during the president kidnapping mission and he said 'Trains again? What is it with the Japanese and trains?' And then he walked into the room when I was starting to play Persona 3. In the opening sequence the main hero is riding a train for a minute or so... You can imagine my father's reaction It's good that he didn't see Selphie saying 'I like trains!' and 'Trains, trains, trains, lalala!' - I would die!

    I was playing VII and was at Cosmo Canyon and my dad came in and was like, "why is that guy floating? why does the wolf talk? and why is the statue crying?

I don't really blame him - the part he saw was really acid trippy
    Its a long story- I think thats the perfect answer to all of our family and friends questions lol

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    I recall having to explain the Lv. 4 Suicide spell from Final Fantasy VII to my mother. I think that was extremely out-of-character for her to notice and ask about it, and I wonder if she had the wrong idea completely or if she was curious about it.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I was playing FFXII at my grandparent's house, and my grandfather asks me, "So what do you do?"
    I was just kind of like "Wha?"
    "What's the object of the game here? The goal?"
    "Oh...um...well...I don't know yet...you see it has a story...and I'm not that far into it yet...Maybe I ought to read the back of the box."

    Generally not had anything like that in-game, though I do know a friend of mine's dad thought that FFVII was a game wholly about snowboarding.

    Once i was playing FFVIII at my houses and his wifes sister came in while I was fighting Jumbo Cactuar. She then asked me whos that karate man and why is he green. Knowing that all of my family members are from Africa and wouldn't understand me I just said that is a poisoned person who was turned into a demon. She actually bought the idea though. Also one my Aunts always got scared everytime she saw a snake or that one creaturn with a snake tail in FFX.

    Thanks Polaris for the Awesome Avy and Sig!

    Running for my Zodiac spear when I was about level 20 on my second time through FFXII. Of course dying all over the place and running as fast as possible. "Wow your dying alot, with how much you play this game I thought you would be better by now."

    I was playing FFXII and my mum was sitting there on the sofa. The cutscenes were going on and she was like 'Is it me, or did they rip that straight from Shakespeare?'

    "They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.
