I learned how to manage my money and plan ahead while playing psu.
Also not to punch my computer screen when my PM fails to synth something.
I also learned how to tolerate Laia or the vol Brother stupidity.
I learned how to laugh when lou or tonnio does something funny.
I learned female beasts are the best. Not. (lulz)
I learned from Lou how to not judge people.
I learned how to flirt with girls from Luccain Nav.

Can't tell you how much playing Final Fantasy / Breath of Fire / RPGs at 7-8 years old boosted my vocabulary and reading speed, comprehension, and anything else you'd need in a videogame far beyond others in my class. Can't tell you how much playing a few MMOs at a young age helped my typing speed today.


Of course, RPGs these days have terrible voice acting and don't stop talking to you, so kids these days don't get the same benefits. It was like having a book addiction, except it was a videogame. Now it's just like having a videogame addiction.

With bad voice acting.

That's basically how I improved my english the most when I was a child.

Couldn't have said it better myself, classic RPG games practically was my education. My teachers at school always thought I was some kind of genius or something because I knew vocabulary and proper use of grammar that the other kids didn't know.

The only thing I learned from PSU is that my stupid luck is the same in games and in the real world lol

So I saw this thread and I stopped and thought...

And I came up with, absolutely nothing.

I continued to think about what other games have taught me...and the one that comes to mind is WoW. WoW taught me so many social skills and how to be a leader and work with a group.
