Don't know if this is the right section but it just keeps playing on my mind. I've got all these great FF games and believe you me, i'd love to sit there, read the guide, play the games in order til i've completed them all and learn the storylines and theories behind them, but at the same time there's a list of things i need to do in my life which is:

A) Learn guitar (really wanna learn to play FF tunes properly on guitar)
B) keep a good job with a steady income
C) have good, reliable friends and go out often
D) Run a nice car, not an old banger...

etc.


Life was so damn easy when i was younger and i could just play games from when i got home from school til late night, then all day everyday in the holidays (i wasn't a stranger to the outdoors though, i still got out), but it just seems that as you get older, you have much much less time for gaming and socialising and your life is all about working to get money, which goes on other things, mainly general bills & food, responsibilities grow. It just feels like life is too short and we spend all our time working and not enough play.

Anyone else feel the same way?

and no smart comments like 'welcome to reality'. I've known this 'reality' for a long time, i just feel like nows the time to speak up about it.
 
I know how you feel, man. It's not easy, but we just have to keep pushing foward. Besides, I'm sure deep down you feel better doing this then just sitting in front of your tv all day anyway. This way, people look as you as an equal who is struggling to be a honest human as much as them and the next guy, but if you were just a bum who sat on the couch all day taking money from your parents, then what kind of person would you be?

Look for the postives and enjoy the time you have. That's about all we can do.

Still, I do miss those times often and hope that sometime I find a few days to just kick like I did back then and stay up until 3 AM playing whatever roleplay I have to see the end of. :)
 
yeah, thats true. thanks man.

I hope i dont sound 'emo' or something, but it's just crazy how time flies it really is.

One minute i was building snowmen and playing games having a great laugh in the sunshine, playing Pokemon and other RPG's with hundreds of friends, now i find it hard to play games and even socialising is difficult.

I'll keep doing what i'm doing, something good might come of it.
 
Thats life bro, I miss the days of just chilling playing all the Final Fantasies with my best friend but sadly we have different things to do, when i work he doesnt and when he works I don't so we hardly see eachother
 
Hah, that's already come and gone with me. I used to play Final Fantasy all the time, but now I don't even play video games anymore. I'm not quite sure if I've grown out of them, but I sure don't have the time for them. School and socializing and all that have taken over, which might be for the best... who knows?

I know that I don't plan on dropping so much money on a PS3 just to get FF13, though. All of that money has gone towards a New York City trip AND Spring Break. I just think that I can't afford video games anymore now that my dad has stopped paying for everything. x[
 
I think life has flown by way to fast :dry: One minute Im skiving in school doing nothing but hanging around with my mates and palying Final Fantasy then in like the blink of an eye Im 25 and thinking wtf have I achieved with my life, really -_-

I swear Im gunna wake up one day soon and be 80 o_O It feels liek the older I get the faster it goes >_<
 
you're all right!

Reality.Fantasy, yep, i only bought a PS3 cos FFVII was supposed to be coming out, but after doing ALOT of research, i highly doubt FFVII will be remade before 2017 (2nd Anniversary of FFVII) and say most people were about 10 years old for their first FFVII, they'll be 30 by the time it comes out, it's pathetic. I really have spent many years of my life wanting a remake.

I still buy games and play them, but no where near as regularly.I just dont have the time.
 
I totally agree with you there. A whole lot of new responsibilities to look forward to. I can't play FF all day long, either. Got to buckle down and get on with adult life. But it's still possible to find time to play video games and generally have fun, even if you're so overwhelmed with a heavy workload.

This guy speaks the truth. Time does fly as you get older

I totally know how you feel!! When we were younger, life was so easy! Being a kid is great...but, being an adult isn't so bad either...
One think I've learned since I've come to college (I'm a sophomore now) is that life is definitely what you make it. You really can do anything if you put your mind to it.
In my opinion, the only way to live life is to try to experience as many things as possible. Learn a new sport, or a new language, try a new food, learn an instrument, discover a new religion, talk to people from different backgrounds...life has so much to offer! The beauty of being human is that we can learn so much. But, don't wait, start now! Work doesn't have to be your life. Find a career that gives you enjoyment. Then it's not really "work" anymore, is it?
We're both young. Imagine yourself at 80...do you wanna look back at your life and think "man...I should have tried this" or "what would my life have been like if...". Life your life now to the fullest so that you can look back one day and say "I experienced so much...I have no regrets".
Sorry if that sounded a bit preachy, but it kinda sounded like you needed some kinda boost :hug:

Dude, Im not a guy >_<

I totally need to get myself motivated to do something with myself before I end up all old and wrinkley and full of regrets. That's what get's to me the most, the idea of letting life pass me by while Im being a lazy twat & having regrets. >_<

I know the feeling, dude. Skipping work and blowing off a few classes in favor of some Final Fantasy action would be great sometimes. You've got your priorities in order, which is great.
 
Yeah..... Going to sixth form this year (hopefully If I get the grades...) Then probably take a year out before going to uni (hopefully again...).

In this year out I'll probably be playing games everyday. The weird thing is, will this be the last chance I'll ever get to play games? will my "gaming life" end after this year?

Well...... I'm not gonna let it!!! Never will I ever stop gaming until the day I die!!!!! (sorry, I had a little out-burst whilst posting this....)
 
Oh yeah, I'm sure everyone feels the same. I'm assuming we're all hardcore gamers (yeah, be proud of it) here and would like to spend time replaying games and spending more time with sidequests...but alas, time is swiftly moving along and so our gaming styles have probably altered in a way.

I know I seem to be more rushed when playing FF games (or any game for that matter) because I simply don't have the time to explore every single crook and corner just to find extra valuable items.

So...I admit that my playing style has been altered for the worse. I am now more impulsive when playing, not taking the time to think. I really miss those days back in high school where I had more time on my hands. Heh, I actually thought I'd have more time when I got out of high school since I wouldn't be dealing with constant stress from teachers and shitloads of homework, but now that I have a job and a daughter to take care of, I rarely have time for games anymore.

Ah well.
 
Aye! That was my problem with FF12. I purchased that game when I was growing farther away from video games at a rapid pace, so my interest probably declined as well. I blew threw that game just to say that I finished it, instead of taking the time to do everything I could on it like I did in FFX back in 2002. Maybe I would've liked XII more back then instead of now, who knows.

Ugh I did that, I havent even gone back to complete it 100% like I normally do.

I even quit playing it for a while and i NEVER ued to do that. Id get the other FF's complete them within a week or so then I'd replay them straight away to 100% them, now it's just like I don't have the time to do anything, you'd think I would really with the whole not working lark but....it just sees to fly by >_<

Interest is declining o_O

I'm the same way. I used to play games for hours without a care in the world. As I get older though I'm just not as into it. I still haven't even come close to finishing FF XII and don't have much of an interest to pick it back up again. Maybe I'm just so used to not having as much time to play now so I don't even bother...

Games have always been such a big part of my life...I feel kinda sad that I'm losing interest now...
