Well, I hear all this stuff about FFR dying, and after talking to one of my friends, who is quitting, and examining my own interest in this site, I actually am starting to believe that FFR's slowly dying. Signs of decline:
I've noticed that the forums used to be booming, and there would be new threads constantly and responses would come up almost immediately. On top of that, there would generally at least be 5 people viewing most threads in general discussion and stuff. Now it takes days for someone to reply, even in a once popular thread, the people viewing most are slim to none lately, and every time I visit the boards, it feels, dead.
I'm actually losing interest in FFR the game, and I've noticed a lot of other members are too. The proof? Most members are now spending more time on SM and hardly play anymore. I'm beginning to also. I think I might give it up completely and switch to SM at this rate. The only thread that is really active is SM score thread, and that is saying a lot. My friend says he'll only use this site now to post SM scores...
The game has been getting boring, I don't know why, it just is. I feel like I have to play the same damn boring songs over and over that I can't AAA, and it's no longer fun. Other than those, all the other songs I've AAA'd, so I don't see a challenge or point in trying to do better on them, just play it, be done, and then say now what? The new songs that are coming out for some reason, don't seem to have the shine the other ones used to. When we had the big songs pumped out quickly (Thrash through Chaoz Japan). Even that seemed to lack the luster FFR used to have. These new songs (though I was looking forward to Perfect Cherry Storm) aren't really fun to me, despite being great files, and I've noticed the number of people who have played them is much lower than it should be. The most fun time all my time on FFR was probably skill token month, not specifically because I was a token whore (though I was) but because every day I had something to try and accomplish and then a new song to try out. And sometimes it would be a challenge that would keep me going for weeks. But now, we wait a week for a song that is relatively mediocre, and then another 2 weeks for the song we want, just to realize that playing one song for 2 more weeks until the next big hit comes out just isn't as fun as it used to be.
This is all just my opinion, and what I think I've noticed, but I really feel like FFR is not as amazing as it used to be, to me at least. Maybe this shows that I've matured and feel like moving on. I don't know. Btw, this, as in every other post for the last month, is me, DWDS. Stavie has pretty much been done with FFR and doing other stuff, like ITG, DDR, Tales games, and SM. But he wasn't the friend I was talking to, my friend wishes to be kept anonymous
