Current Events > Anyone else have their reading improved by the old school rpgs back in the day?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Back when rpgs weren't voiced, and you had to read everything. From the old school JRPGs, to the pc wrpgs. They definitely helped me learn to read better.

You know, when you think about it, a lot of those old rpgs' stories were essentially reading a book with the scenes acted out in front of you.

Ive been reading since I was 3 so eh

I can definitely see how it would be useful tho

Very likely. I was something like 7 or 8 when I completed FF7, and not much older for FF8, I can't imagine my reading skill didn't greatly improve during the course of that.

Ff7 came out when I was 9, I actually played ff8 first though lol.

I got FF8 within a month or two of it coming out; FF7 was old by the time I got it tho IIRC. Although I dunno for sure as I discovered it when looking through my uncle's game collection (and ironically, I finished it long before he did).

Kinda. I'd learn lots of new words, but I could never incorporate them into normal conversation without sounding like a doofus.
