#1  You Know You've Played Too Much... Hey all, I'm new here. My name is Zoe; I've recently started playing FFII(US)/IV and have been searching for a community to talk with other people about this awesome old school game.  Besides making a boring intro post, I just thought I'd share a creative list I've compiled about FFIV. My apologies if there are similar threads, but this is an original one composed by me. You Know You’ve Played Too Much Final Fantasy II when… • You don’t think of a time of day when you hear the words “dark night”. • You decide to change your name to Cecil or Kain (if you’re a guy) or Rosa or Rydia (if you’re a girl), and do to so, you look around for a man in a big yellow and blue sombrero. • You’ve associated every semblance of chicken with Chocobo. • You insist your airline of choice is not Continental or Delta, but Red Wings. • You’re unfazed by green hair. In fact, it’s attractive; Rydia made it look good. • You’re told to call someone, and the first image that comes to mind is summoning, not calling via telephone. • You no longer refer to currency as dollars, but GP. • You measure all pain experienced in terms of hit points (“Ouch! That was at least 100 HP!”). • You pass by a karate class and instantly think of your buddy Yang. • You hear someone sneeze and think of Yang’s battle cry. • You associate the name Cid/Sid with a mechanic that has a big mouth and a bushy beard. • You know that hammers can be used for more than just hammering nails, and you think of Cid when you see one. • You don’t think of the brink of a cliff when hearing the word “edge”. • You see a pair of twins, and instantly think of Palom and Porom. • You’re uncomfortable walking through fields without the use of a vehicle or being accompanied by a chicken, fearing that at any moment, enemies could attack. • You pitch a tent on a campground, and instantly feel relieved and relaxed. • You check out every plant pot that you happen to pass, just in case there’s anything hidden in there. • You’re tempted to wade into shallow bodies of water to find any hidden treasure or secret passageways. • You and a friend are asked to deliver a package to a neighboring town, and you get a nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach. • You see a “strange old man” blocking your path, and you’re interested in who he could be, what magic he might know… • You have called, or been close to calling someone a “spoony bard”. • You take off all jewelry before your video game characters enter Cave Magnes. • You lose trust in all dolls, no matter how innocuous they appear, and refuse to line them up in a row. • You see a well and question if it has a bottom, and even consider throwing something down to hear it land. • You encounter a statue of a person and shake your head, muttering something about the person casting stone upon his or herself. • You see a pig and think, “uh oh, someone’s casting the piggy spell” • You’re uneasy around hedgehogs, expecting “needle” at any given moment. • You observe or participate in archery, and can’t help but wonder if the arrows might be poisonous or any other special type, but then shrug them off as iron arrows. • You judge flames, ice and lightning storms as fire/ice/lit1, 2 or 3, depending on how powerful it is. • You get into a fist fight with someone, and stand there letting them punch you while you desperately try to cast “cure1” on yourself and wait for the person to give up. • You have an unexplained appreciation for midgets (you prefer to call them dwarves). • You tend to save carrots at the end of a meal, just in case it starts to “smell like chocobo”. • You actually think you’ve smelled chocobo before. • You hear the Biblical story of how Cain killed Abel, and you imagine that it involves the “jump” strategy. Anyone guilty?  |

| Banned  | Yep, I'm guilty of a few. I've actually called someone a spoony bard before, but given that he was also an FF fan, I think he understood. I also think of Edge when someone mentions the word.
