If you lived in a traditional JRPG town, what would you do?

I'd open up a weapon shop in the first town that sells all the best weapons really cheap, just to break the game.
Arni Village (Crono Cross) restaurant owner.

Some weird responses :lol Hope I'm not veering too far with my comment.

Say the same big dialogue everytime somebody talks to me. I also make sure I'm standing right next to an NPC that advances the story and also keep on walking in front of that NPC :lol

I'd be the kid who was actually the fabled chosen one who would rise up and smite evil.

A character in a house that would never move and always say the same line of dialouge, even after you've stolen all my stuff and left me poor.
 
I would have alot of fun with the Female Questgivers. Even more fun if they carried on with the questgiving in the process. :lol

Level up to level 99 on random critters around the outskirts of town then 1 shot unsuspecting heroes he keep robbing my treasure chest where I store my 1 potion.
:lol :lol :lol
 
I would build a tavern with dancers and place lot's of treasure chests behind the impenetrable bar to trouble plundering heroes.

'I wonder what's in the chest'
'can I get there?'
'is there a backdoor or a hidden passage in the wall?'
 

ZealousD

Makes world leading predictions like "The sun will rise tomorrow"
I'd be the asshole blocking the road.

Sorry, Hero! Looks like I'm the start of a multi-step fetch quest for you!
 

dofry

That's "Dr." dofry to you.
I'd be the guy saying "...", but, I would always be close to an important place entrance, just to mess with people expecting me to have something interesting to say.

that, or I would take a poison pill to end my suffering.

It'd be fun.

Me: Oh man, better go run some delivery items to that old lady strife, heard her son just came home visiting.

Me: Ah, good looks like those soldier guys will just about leave soon.

Me: OH MY GOD THE TOWNS ON FIRE AND THAT SILVER HAIRED GUY IS STABBING PEOPLE.
 
If you lock your door you'll find out you ended up leaving it on the roof or something for heroes to get.

Anyway, I'll be at the casino.
 
I always wanted to be the guy who stands at the entrance of the town and shout what town it is. Just all the time. Repeatedly. Then, by god, everyone will know the name of my town. EVERYONE!

I'd run the suspiciously 'free' inn, and then when adventurers are sleeping, I'd steal their gold pieces.

If I lived in a traditional JRPG town I would manipulate, steal, and possibly murder because no one in the town has experience with those and there are not guards that will do anything about it.

I would also hope to the dieties that the monsters outside town are in my level range!

I would worry about screwing with teenagers who have giant swords and gigantic-er monsters to harm me with.

I'd take advantage of their limited conversation options and movement ability, and do whatever the fuck I want. Like, I dunno, stealing everyone's shit. Taking a shit on people's doorsteps. Just being outrageous.
you beat me too this

probably kill myself after a day since all the towns folk say the same shit over and over

If there are no heroes in town, do I exist?
that is something to ponder

I'd be the weapon shop guy in Town #2 who sells that appealing sword the party will find a duplicate of at the bottom of the next dungeon it comes across.

Take a crap in every box in town. So when those pesky "adventurers" come lootin through "treasure boxes" they find a nice brown surprise.

FFXIII took it a level higher.
The chest orb containing the lionheart sword is 50m in front of you while you're buying it at the savepoint in chapter 12.

OK, GAF REAAAAAAAAAAALLY failed in this one.

Obvious answer:

Offer to do "poofpoofs" to all girls that pass through town, charging a fee obviously.

Come on ignorant GAF, how isn't that the best job of any town on any game (or real place)?.

I'd be that guy who stands in a narrow space near a chest so the hero has to wait for my random walk behaviour to take me out so he can get past.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I'd give the hero a quest to find my bags of gold and jewels from the local Cave Ogres.

I'd spike my hair, put on some ridiculous outfit, and start acting emo so everyone in town would think that I was their next savior. But instead of going on some grand quest, I would just hang out at the pub and use my notoriety to score blue-haired chicks. I wouldn't need to work, so long as people continued to allow me to rob them blind.

And on rainy days I would try to dodge 200 lightning bolts.

Place a chest with a unique sword held within behind a bomb-able cracked wall in my house and surround it with blocks that cannot be moved.

Screw chests, I'd just put everything in pots. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
And I'd open up a pottery shop.

Step 1: Sell pots.
Step 2: Wait for blond haired, pointy eared, dressed in green adventurer to come to town.
Step 3: Repeat Step 1.
