Hi there! My name is Chip Noir! If you've ever been to Gamefaqs or paid attention to comments on Siliconera, I've been known to been a bit of an aggressive character. So when I say I come in peace, I know that can come with a certain reservation and suspicion.

But to cut a long story short, I'm tired of toxic FF fan communities, and I'd really like to find a place to settle down and enjoy discussions on various subjects related to FF, especially with the advent of FFXV and Final Fantasy VII: Remake on the horizon. I've mostly made my home at Gamefaqs' various cluttered boards, and I'm hoping this will be a more friendly, communicative and syngergetic community than what I'm used to.

As far as about me? I've been into Final Fantasy since practically before I was born: My mother used to play Final Fantasy on the famicom, and make judgements based on how much I was kicking in the womb. I'd watched my cousins play FF1 and IV, and eventually got my own experience with VII at the age of 10 after a serious commitment to Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger.

Outside of that, I enjoy exploring the lore behind FFs. I've studied the Ultimania Omega books for VII and X very intensly, and I enjoy conjecture or fan theory for gaming in general.

I'm also a moderate anime fan, very much a fan of horror, and currently focus most of my time on trying to write short stories for various outlets like The No Sleep podcast.

I hope that I will make good friends here, and that you'll all be kind to me in turn when I earn your respect.

*Bows*
 
Yeeeeeah, GameFAQs scared me away a long time ago, lmao.

Welcome to the forums! o/
 
Welcome, you are among a laid back group here, though it can get in tense at times!

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay!
 
Haha, high five for gamer moms. :lew:

Welcome to the forum! Genuinely hope you enjoy your stay. Let us know if you have any questions!
 
Wilkommen! There are quite a few people around here looking forward to 15 so there should be plenty of talk about it :).

In terms of the FF7 remake, I'm still a little bit hesitant since they made it look like more of an action RPG in the gameplay trailer, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be bad. Fingers crossed it's good anyways lol.

See you around! :monocle:
 
I can vouch for the largely toxin free environment here. Not everyone likes every game in the series here; every game has a 'hater' or two on FFF. But the important distinction is that it's extraordinarily rare for people to be truly hostile. Personally, I find that healthy, because it still forces you to face opinions that you may not agree with, but since there's little hostility these opposing opinions can better be used in reflection and other constructive ways. At least, that's the way I find FFF to be; coming from the IGN FF boards, this place is nice. It lacks the constant barrage of people running into every thread for the game(s) they don't like, yelling "This game is the worst game in the world! It's total garbage made for idiots!" and then disappearing so that they can't be confronted. So if you're looking for a place without that sort of crap, this is it :)

Also, welcome!
 
Welcome to FFF! hope you'll be enjoying your time around here :) let us know if you have any questions :D

I’d say that for the most part we are that. I'd say we're mostly friendly and welcoming of a variety of opinions (even unpopular ones). We just need to encourage some of our members to post a bit more, but with World of Final Fantasy and FFXV coming out soon I do hope that we’ll have plenty of new things to discuss soon too!

More importantly, welcome to forums! :argor: You seem very interesting. I particularly love the story of you kicking about in the womb as your mother played Final Fantasy.

Outside of the discussion boards, if you need help exploring other features such as the Mogshop, Mythology Manual, streaming, etc, then please don't hesitate to contact us!
 
Hopefully I can invite likeminded people from GF that are tired of it, and also want to get away from the rabble. I know quite a few that are sick of trolls invading perfectly good discussions to vent their hatred.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

You've got one already Chip.

I too have stuck a toe out of the harsher GF waters into this more tranquil pool.
Although I can't say I've jumped ship, I'm not too fond of the design of the site (seems a bit messy, GF's is far too easy to use) I'll try and visit here more often and hopefully the community will win me over.
