Final Fantasy Syndrome is a phenomenon where people who get all their social interaction from playing Final Fantasy XIV lose the ability to communicate like normal people. People suffering from Final Fantasy Syndrome typically respond to simple messages with 10000 word essays that look like they were written by ChatGPT and talk in a overly formal way reminiscent of some customer service agents.
Despite this veneer of formality and niceness, people suffering from Final Fantasy Syndrome will typically leave no opportunity unseized to start petty drama, especially with people who do not play Final Fantasy XIV (Although they will not shy away from infighting if no such target is available).
I used to be friends with this guy but then he started suffering from Final Fantasy Syndrome. He sent me a ten page tirade after mentioned I don't play FFXIV and then blocked me everywhere.
An often underrated but worthy addition to the Final Fantasy series. It takes a couple play throughs to understand it’s genius.
Final Fantasy 8 is so underrated.
