For as long as I can remember Ive played role playing games. Titles like D&D, Fantasy Star, Final Fantasy, Alien, Shenmue, Might and Magic, and Lost Odyssey just to name a few. Ive always been drawn to RPG's dont get me wrong I love all games but nothing compares to leveling up your character, finding a new world/map, or gaining a new ability. Or how about beating a boss that has been destroying your party time after time.
I remember playing Lost Odyssey and calling Primesuspect to tell him how f'en awesome this game was. For the next 15min I was a little school girl. I'm pretty sure I sounded like I was on meth, the speed at which details were flying out of my mouth were at a substantial rate. And the conversation ended with me saying "I guess you have to play the game to understand" lol.
My biggest vice is Final Fantasy.
I can not get enough of that series. Every game Squire Enix turns out is another six months of my life not seeing daylight. I will no joke come home after work and play every day and night until I beat the game. Ok for instance I logged in 85 hours on FF7 and 68 on FF10. I get sucked into those games. My life gets consumed and all I can think about is my next move, or the characters, or what if I do this. Right now I have Lost Odyssey music playing in my head. My notification tone on my phone is "victory" from FF7 oh my god I need help.
Most people look forward to buying a house, getting married, kids, better job, blah blah blah. I'm looking forward to the new Final Fantasy game to come out in 2010. Will it make my girlfriend hate me,,,,probably. Will I rush my daily work so I can get home to play,,,,,,yeah and call in sick a few days. Will I gain 40 pounds from sitting there eating chips and drinking pepsi,,,,heck yeah. Will I cry at the end,,,,ugh maybe? Check out the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPzCVlBCRfE&fmt=22&annotation_id=annotation_129714&feature=iv Seeing it at E3 was a tease, all it did was add gas to the fire. I remember walking down the street and seeing the characters on the side of a building. My jaw hit the street and then many upon many swear words came out of my mouth. Im pretty sure mothers were covering there kids ears,,,,,and some adults. At one point I declared I wanted to have sex with them. The sign of a mad man or or someone who really loves rpg's? I'll leave that for you to decide

I haven't dug into a good JRPG in FAR too long. Good lord I miss them. FF7, FF8, Chrono Cross, Grandia, Star Ocean the Second Story.
Good heavens it's been too long. I love WRPGs, Oblivion, Mass Effect, ect, but I don't think I've gotten sucked into any of these like I did when I played JRPGs (and I tend to never finish them either)
