What motivates you in FFR?

xNiX · 01-31-2013, 10:37 PM

I've been breaking from FFR for quite awhile - mainly been just a pure SM player for the past 5 months or so. I'd play it here and there never really took it as seriously as I did when I was still Ruguru aka Angie. What pushes you to increase your stats? Is it friends? Is it just your own determination? Is it other player's scores? I'm having a hard time buckling down trying to get used to this engine. Suggestions?

Rivals.

Engaging with other members of the community through skype, or other IMs. Keeping a competitive, yet constructive environment keeps me inspired to continue playing FFR.

Working on this as a matter of fact. I don't really have any rivals in FFR considering most of my rivals originated from SM. I'd love to have a rival, but as of now, I probably wouldn't make it too far. I'm very inconsistent in FFR, and most of my FMO AAA's are 1 run plays I got when I was extremely bored.

If anybody wants to add me on Skype, I don't mind.

Honestly i just think its ranks for me, i just really like it when people see my name often, and go "oh i know that person". Like call of duty, everybody wants people to know who they are by being the best they can be and moving up the ranks

xNiX · 01-31-2013, 11:16 PM

Ranks is a start for me I guess. If you look at my ranking and everything it really bites. X_X
But I'm hoping within at least a few months, I can transfer my SM skill over to FFR. I'm tired of being out of the loop.
Also, I'm already known for bullshit already. So I kind of fucked that up already.

Well i can tell your rather good at this game already, you already have otaku speedvibe oni-____- sigh..lol

top · 01-31-2013, 11:23 PM

mostly my own determination. it's just something i'm really into at the moment. yes there are times when i get bored of it, so i'll decide to wreck SM, and after a while i get bored of that, so I go back to fiffer. if i get bored of both, i have a PS3, i skype, watch anime, etc.

just having a long list of things to do helps i suppose, but it could also hinder now that i think about it..

I think I'm decent. I'm way better at SM and I am at FFR. Hopefully I can change that soon.

I have other things I generally do like write, play piano, or play some other games that I used to play a lot back when I was younger; with that being said, I do have a lot of things to keep me busy; however, my problem I suffer now is keeping my focus on FFR. Maybe if I had more friends that were really into this game. I don't know.

I have many other things I'm into besides FFR, but besides it being a fun game, I also enjoy increasing my skill at it. Maybe someday I'll AAA every song and win a tournament in the highest division? Might be impossible, but it's a long-term goal to shoot for. :P

**alphanish** · 01-31-2013, 11:37 PM

The tournaments really motivate me, it makes me feel like I'm in a huge race or somethin. I... kinda wanna play f-zero now...

**Hakulyte** · 01-31-2013, 11:41 PM

No motivation?
Create realistic or fun goal.
Congrats, you now have motivation.

cedolad · 01-31-2013, 11:43 PM

most of the time I'll have a fishing pole tied to hat with a dildo on the line. that's my motivation.

Trying this too. When you wiped your account the first time, what pushed you to reAAA everything?

Okay.

Used to be subin, now nothing really :'(

**Hakulyte** · 02-1-2013, 12:02 AM

I probably unconsciously enjoy suffering to be still around I changed key setup/keyboard etc. and my whole perspective of the game slightly changed. Any changes to how you play can easily makes the game a lot more interesting.

OWA, let's be rivals~

..oh he ran away..

lol if you're serious, sure...honestly, being in direct competition with subin helped me bust through a plateau I'd been stuck at for three years or so, so I wouldn't mind having another semi-serious rival
