No, it's not that Spring is upon us in a matter of weeks. As I have stated before I do not like Spring for it reminds me that Summer is right around the corner.
It's that the first week and a half of March will bring with it Muse @ MSG, the release of Gorillaz' new album, and the release of Final Fantasy XIII.
I was really happy until last week and now I am less so.
Why?
For some reason, Square Enix thought it was okay to eff over the US Sony PS3 users.
Why, Sony?
Why would you ass-effery have the release of a Limited Edition bleck...argh..xbox..cough...meh FFXIII console and not release A THING special edition wise for the PS3?

How many evil Microsoft dollars did they throw at you, Square?!?!
As a child of the Commodore 64 and Atari, I never had the 'fortune' of owning an SNES, NES or Sega.
The PS was the first 'console' owned by The HOchieS when that beautiful dirty grey little thing was released so many years ago.
Since then, I've been a Sony Girl and yes, I've dabbled in the arts of Nintendo too because you know, Link just screams 'luz me'.
I suppose this is a little of what Nintendo users felt when Final Fantasy VII was released for the PS.
Oh, so this is what a slap to the face feels like.
Ohhhh.
And might I say, "OW" while I'm at it?
As each day marches closer to March 9, I hope that Square will surprise me by dropping that awful "Enix" from their name, return "Soft" in its stead and with it, bring some dignity back to Sony when the PS ruled (although in Enix's defense, you guys may put out solid games that I've not played so I cannot be dismissive of you).
I cannot believe I bought an effin' PS3 JUST for this game only for it to be released 3 years after the fact and without two postcards as the UK version's getting.
I almost feel a boycott coming along especially since I have no towns to visit, with no bars to get sloshed in or play the piano, no houses to go into and steal elixirs from unsuspecting grandfathers and gil from wee ones. Who am I supposed to make fun of now?!
It only hurts all the more after having finally finished Final Fantasy Tactics, after a personal fear of that game like no other for 12 years.
Now there was a game: an amazing story with so much deception and murder that those sprites shocked me with their 'stabby' behaviour, penchant for poison and heretic-branding rhetoric.
The music was nothing short of brilliant and the characters were many to keep track of but who cares? My little Zarnyx/Ramza was the cutest.
Although. he was a little, umm...too...defined in the ass for a sprite.
I'm certain those white pants didn't help the situation any either.
White pants never do.
They never do.
