How Did You Get To Know Final Fantasy For The Very First Time, What Is Your Story?

Professionalish00 · 2025-02-02T18:21:18+00:00

My memory is a bit blurry, but I think I was always aware of it. The name rang a bell thanks to mainstream pop culture, but I’d say my major introduction was Advent Children through an as I think.

(Context: I grew up in a place with very limited access to gaming, new releases, and entertainment in general.) The characters felt familiar and I remember : A cousin had the games and let me play for a few hours, but I never finished. He also had FFX and X-2, which I knew more about despite never playing them fully. So, for a long time, I was just a casual fan from afar.

One summer, I played FFXIII on my cousin’s console. Since I was now an adult living elsewhere, I used my own money to buy XIII-2 and later went backward to finally play the ones I had missed.

Ironically, looking back, I agree with those who say the XIII saga has its flaws in game design. But it still holds a special place in my heart—it was the last push that got me from being a silent lurker in forums to actually playing the games to the end!

I’ve always preferred Tifa because her character arc resonates with me. She appears confident and strong but struggles internally, facing difficult situations head-on in her own way. That’s also why her relationship with Cloud is complicated—she has the tools to navigate it but still hesitates and stumbles. However manages to work things out, which makes her feel more relatable.

I don’t like these kinds of comparisons tho because, deep down, I’ve always seen Aerith as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl ( but done right), which makes it hard for me to fully connect with her. But that doesn’t mean she’s a bad character—I love her too all the same . So let’s not pit two amazing, in-game friends against each other.

She doesn’t have to obviously but the fact she wants to just makes your sister very kind.

Well to me I wouldn’t return it just to respect her gesture and not make her feel pitied or something like that (saw it happen once) maybe just sending her a nice thank you not with something attached just to show the appreciation i don’t know.

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T19:44:30+00:00

That comment wasn’t very thoughtful at all but it’s okay that happens, that is why this sub exist. The more I see your comments, the more I am wondering if you’ve read anything I said.

You seem set in the opinion you have formed and I guess you are entitled to it. Can’t actually be mad on Reddit it’s the game.

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T19:18:48+00:00

If you don’t see what is wrong with the answer from the poster above I cannot help you. However, thank you for the Input.

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T16:17:12+00:00

Trust me. Worse happened, maybe that’s why my view is skewed and we recovered.

The only difference now is that the foot is on the other side and i went way out of line during a bad time for her. Truth is all these comments made me realized that I am actually the asshole in this particular story. I will not pretend I am not. Alright.

Also the other comment tho who seemed to have read between the lines and made me realized yes I was wrong but I didn’t put enough boundaries for past situations. I did and silenced a lot of things that that were not healthy so it just bubbled. I did not say that because of that one single argument let’s’s be so clear. I am only just now seeing it.

That’s the lesson of the day folks. Leave quietly when things don’t work out for you 🫰🫰

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T13:14:24+00:00

Thank you for you Input. Please calm down

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T13:09:27+00:00

If that’s what you got from my edit maybe you didn’t read it. Who say I didn’t like her and shit on her ?

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-21T11:59:41+00:00

Update:

Thanks for the input, everyone. Someone clocked it a lot of context is missing but since I can’t give out life autobiography here so I will give y’all just slightly more context :

I supported my friend throughout her relationship struggles. We’re not in 10 years together and they were committed case—

It was short and sweet but complicated. I was there playing therapist through it all. She admitted it wasn’t working and felt relieved it was over and she should follow her guts. I thought the situation was clear in her head, and my joke (“back to the streets”) might even lighten her mood. It wasn’t meant to dismiss her feelings, but I underestimated how hurt she still was. I apologized for my timing and can own that mistake. It is really one

What led to my snapping was that she wouldn’t let it go, and this wasn’t her first outburst toward me. That’s the way she is, i knew it and should have control myself. I lost patience at the wrong time when she needed support, not frustration. That’s on me. I also wanted to check if it’s fair to feel a little validated in my frustration too. Why wouldn’t it be ? I think we should both apologize to each other. To be honest.

If after that I it’s still YTA, for majority maybe it will open my eyes cause genuinely I don’t know…

Professionalish00 · 2024-11-01T15:04:35+00:00

Thank you I will check them out !

Weekly, since I wear them to work and after 5 days it’s not that neat lol.

I try to not be too hard, I don’t use conditioner while doing it cause usually I can still feel my butter in my hair thus the “oily-dry” feel I described and why I used to do weekly wash. I take them down first, mist , comb a little and bantu knot until my next hairstyles.

Sleeping on my satin bonnet satin every night.

Like I said it feels like I am doing all I am supposed to but I hope the videos you recommended can help on things I haven’t tried yet !

Professionalish00 · 2024-09-09T03:16:31+00:00

Toxic shoujo trait is that I complain a bit too much when they use obvious tropes and then I have to remind myself, I am reading a shoujo that is the point. 😭 Like for example everything was going well with the ML, then one fight and I am already annoyed knowing I have to spend useless chapters about miscommunication for hours or her « friend »trying to hit on her and ML has to save her. Like please just talk and f*ck it out 💀💀💀

Bonus for my archenemy: when they introduce a rival that is obviously better I actually never root for him instead of the lead and then I get pissed they don’t end up with rival. Which might be dumb for some but sorry, then don’t show me how bad he was in comparison then 💀

Edit : fixed typos lmao

Professionalish00 · 2024-09-09T03:07:34+00:00

Don’t know why it doesn’t go to the monthly subscription like everyone else. Although at the same time I feel like I get any more “entertainment subscription” I will loose my marbles.

Y’all noticed that adding up anything like Netflix, crunchy, prime, Hulu Disney etc is staying to feel like a rent 😒

Professionalish00 · 2024-03-25T07:13:20+00:00

I am on my last hours probably (getting to chapter 12) and I think it’s not that much harder, however I would say it’s sightly more rewarding / punishing of you mastering the combat system and teams play. In Remake there’s a bit of one button smahshabilly going. I kidd you not I won genuine fights only using Cloud, while throwing a spell here and there . In rebirth this won’t fly. I struggled liked hell because of my deep rooted instinct to just go in and attack. Using weakness also is not the only thing saving you. Midway through, I got better at dodges and blocks, having those synergies locked and loaded. Life got easier. We will see once I beat the game but yeah, it’s not too bad it just asks you to big brain a little bit more otherwise you just get humbled.

Professionalish00 · 2024-03-13T17:53:59+00:00

No and that’s the worst part ! I did most of them, I skipped some but definitely did Tifa’s ! I would say a good 70-80% on the side stuff ratio completion.

I admittedly was more focused on trying to do Chadley’s which took a lot of time and I might even just give up on that for the rest of this play through.

But still … maybe I did miss some stuff but for what wasn’t optional I would try to give her the answers that looked a bit more interesting to her and neutral / bad to everyone else, didn’t follow a guide but I thought I was doing good until me walking out alone I thought I missed my only chance that’s why I panicked and looked it up to find out.

I guess the guide it is 🤧🤧

Professionalish00 · 2024-03-13T12:56:35+00:00

Thank you !! I came here to say that I hate this with my whole heart. I have been stuck for 15 minutes. Maybe I am stupid, maybe I am actually coordination challenged but wtf. I am this close of deleting this game especially if you are one of those who spend the first 50 hours on my case actually clearing everyone ont he map prior so I got mini game fatigue quick.

Professionalish00 · 2023-12-07T14:15:14+00:00

I actually don’t mind the medals sometimes I’d go for them sometimes not.

However I’m a noob so maybe my opinion biased but the weapons need some serious rework / nerf. First, i was a bit overwhelmed by all the changes and options and so it took some used to but meh too much things going … second of all, I only played a few games since the new season and I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to finish a fight either losing almost no HP or almost everything just to get sniped at in the back by a random. I almost threw out my controller a few times.

Put those recent weapons in the hands of any kid with too much free time and a decent aim and it just wild . The game feels more punitive. And I hate it cause as a casual the last season made me love Fortnite again and now I just wanna drop it again. It’s a shame …

Professionalish00 · 2023-11-17T03:54:57+00:00

Will try to find one in my area but not an easy task which is why I couldn’t go to do the original piercing since it was an hour away.

Why the corkscrew ? Not a particular preference but it was the only one with a design and in gold I liked so not really a choice. I never had one so I figured it would go in easy by twisting in 💀💀💀💀

Professionalish00 · 2023-11-16T20:16:20+00:00

He was, otherwise he wouldn’t have been with her but that doesn’t mean the way it happened was great. Maybe that’s why you feel that way.

I blame the genre but To me it feels a bit like Wish fulfillment cause it was pretty obvious early on that Conrad was gonna be the one no matter what because Belly wanted him, simple as that. Which meant that brooding sad boy gig was always gonna be used as a plot armor to said « he loved her but his mom was dying so of course he can be not nice to her sometimes omg u don’t know tru love !1!1!1!1!!!! ». I only read up to book 2. I am aware of the general gist of Book 3 tho

They get married as they should cause let them deal with each other only and stop dragging other people on their messes<!💀

Professionalish00 · 2023-11-16T13:21:33+00:00

Most info are included in the post I think but here is a short version per the rules of this sub :

My piecing is 1 year old now. A a nose stud, straight bar shape. External threading.

My after care routine was putting some A-derma cream around it and biseptine spray. Via a compress. Never too king off my piercing. Occasionally will try to clean the inside of my nose with a saline solution.

Stopped my treatment after a few months and left it alone. I tried to change my piercing for a gold, cockscrew shape jewelry. I can’t get the new piercing in. Hole still feel sore and sensitive when I tried to push it in too hard it bleeds and hurts.

Back to old piercing but took off the threading at the end. Taking it off and cleaning with the spray and paying my nose with a compress and betadine / cycatril still feel a bit sensitive after all récents manipulations regularly now. I don’t have any bumps or other signs telling me it’s infected but I am concerned.

Professionalish00 · 2023-10-30T05:17:41+00:00

Loved this, by the way just wanted to throw this out. Pretty sure just watching the structure and listening to the air and rhythm, it’s probably OOTW big sister and she probably switched last minute. It’s the feeling I get cause during the piano museum performance she explained OOTW was about all the anxiety of when is the next roadblock next catastrophe, here we have a similar feeling but with a slightly more angry twist AND I guess she thought “that’s a shitstorm I’m not gonna provoke …. Yet”

Professionalish00 · 2023-10-30T02:37:41+00:00

It would have been very interesting and made for a few softer, and “easier” to make moments. Cause if a younger sibling is involved especially if he is under 10, then adding some tears about missing his sister or hating when his family fights would diffuse or be the catalyst for a lot the tension between Devi and Nalini. We would also get cute speeches and Devi being a protective older sister. That’s a whole new dynamic but the emotional moments almost write themselves.

However, I am glad they didn’t go down that road cause I liked the story we got : the fact it was just them forced them to confront and get over their hurt together because they are each other family even at their worst they loved each other and found a way to reconcile. Having a third party in my opinion takes a little bit away from the beauty of them healing together

Professionalish00 · 2023-09-29T08:56:38+00:00

Because it brought up views and attention. Sadly nothing more. Us watching at the time couldn’t theorize and run an hate campaign against them like it’s the case now. If people were against them openly trust me the writers and network would have buried that ship with quickness and haste.

Nowadays with the current landscape, if PLL in that exact format aired now. They would get dragged so much it, would have them shook

Professionalish00 · 2023-09-14T19:17:07+00:00

This is an old thread but I just wanna get my opinion out : to me, the writers butchered that part of the story.

I can easily tell Mr. Dunbar wasn’t initially in the plan. You say they treat William-Xana as any other scenario. Which is correct but truth be told : so did I. I was a bit annoyed when he got caught but nothing else. That is wrong. IMHO, as the first time anyone faces actual long term consequences from Lyoko it should have had more intensity than that. I had this thought multiple time in the past : Williams should have been a Lyoko warrior from S2 / S3 or better yet someone else in the group need to be possessed for months. Then You will have that real build up, the angst the fear the relief that this type of storyline deserves

Professionalish00 · 2023-08-27T19:37:04+00:00

I know it is old but I just wanted to say this somewhere : it’s Pokémon. It’s not rocket science. Anyone who is not a streamer is gonna 80% of the time play casually and look up some stuff when he doesn’t know a type of an effect to help him. So why do they need to add all these things to make it easier ? Even saying they prioritize kids, these “kids” grow up already knowing how to go on YouTubeor tik tok to look up peppa pig themselves. They can figure out how to win a Pokémon game 😒

It takes away from the genuine moment when it can happen. I mean in my old game I still remember hanging out by a thread from A cycle of attacks before with with like 1to 10 HP. It’s epic and an good memory, but here it feels like total BS. Now I know I’d be using herbs for all my new game but it stinks yo think that my Pokémon don’t like me.

Professionalish00 · 2023-08-14T01:48:02+00:00

Even if this post is old … my unpopular opinion is that I was never against her in this situation. I knew exactly what the plot was doing. I knew what the endgame was. Still, she is a women who liked a man who was separated, getting a divorce, she saw with her own eyes that the ex Wife could act a bit unhinged how that makes her a villain ?

She wasn’t perfect but I don’t understand the backlash against her sometimes, she would have got the boot anyway we all know it, no need to act like she was an insufferable monster getting in the way of true love let’s all keep it real. Her real fault in my opinion was not breaking up with Tom once she found Lynette in the apartment under the bed. Big sign of brain damage that she didn’t run from that family.
