I think I've got this...obsession with a video game character?

Question

So I got Final Fantasy VIII a couple of days ago, and since I played it I've become kinda obsessed with the lead character. :/ At first I thought it was stupid but I stay up late at night thinking about it and wake up and I'm /horribly/ jealous of the love interest. It scares me a little bit because no matter how hard I try the game is always in my head, and it's just so, like, emotional...I experience quite a lot just thinking about it.

Serious?

Answer 1

your a freak. you do know hes a bunch of coding put onto a cd?

Answer 2

don't worry. you'll soon get over it

Answer 3

Its not your fault, FFVIII has some awesome character development, and I'm assuming your on holidays or something or else your just really bored, waiting for the next big thing to grab your attention.

If you want to stop this, distract yourself with something else, like a book

Answer 4

You'll get over it eventually. It's nothing to worry about. Final Fantasy has great character development and it's not hard to think that they're real people. (Haha, you have to understand though that Squall's gonna end up with Rinoa in the end. Even if you're jealous, you can't change that.)

Answer 5

Mothball the game and get on with REAL life.

Answer 6

Is it sephiroth ? I just find him so hot ... I fell in love with him because one of my idol cosplayed as him and my idol have that sephiroth aura around him...

Answer 7

This has happened to me with two game characters and a cartoon character! Its just like seeing a person you fancy.Like, celebrities aren't real to us, we see them on TV, magazines and other media, but not in real life, just like game characters, but loads of people fancy them. People ( including myself ! ),think its wierd, cos it doesn't happen that much, i think its human nature to think things that the minority do is strange!

Answer 8

Well, if you're weird... then there are a whole lot of other weird people out there in the world.  You know about Cloud Strife from FF VII?  There are still a sh*tload of people obsessed with him, and it's been more than ten years since that game was out!

So if you're a bit nuts, you have alot of company.
