First, this thread has amused my endlessly for days and I, for one, think that in itself is a sign of too much FFing...
It is reassuring to know that I am not the only one who hits the TAB button in IM programs and gets pissed off when the auto-translate won't work.. or when the esc button won't clear my lines.. or when CTRL+P tells me I don't have a printer.. haha or when my gamepad won't work as a mouse/ enter key
... when my friend (who also plays) turned 30 I congratulated him on being able to unlock other jobs... likewise when my friend turned 20 I almost asked her when she was going to get her chocobo license =/
I constantly strategize in the shower or when I am trying to go to sleep, figuring out what kind of equipment I need to get or the best way to complete a mission
I've played sick from work or school a few times to camp a NM or get some more exp... I'm also debating informing my boss that I have an "evening class" on (w/e day) and cannot work.. mostly so I can finally join a dynamis linkshell...
Oh FFXI.. you ate my life and I am loving it.
LOL something just happened and it made me think of this.. I promise I will be quiet after this (this is an edit)... My roommate knows very well that this game has consumed my life and I was talking to her a little bit.. I told her "I was in this awesome party the other night!!" and she goes "WHAT!? YOU LEFT THE HOUSE!? TO GO TO A PARTY!?" reply: "No -_-; I was IN a party..." Roommate: "oh >.> ... /disappointed" Made me laugh anyway XD
