Long take: I saw this piece of drivel linked from Kotaku a couple minutes ago about some guy who tried to get into the game industry, failed, and is publicly whinging about the fact that he wasn't given a fair shake.
There are a LOT of things about this article that I could go on for pages about, but let's just hit a couple of the...

The experience started out quite badly, as purchasing points through the Wii is about as elegant as any of their other online offerings - that is, it's total garbage. Having to input a credit card number, security code, city, state, county and more to get the points is idiotic. It's..."

This game was awesome when it first came out! I also thought the episode of Futurama where they parodied the game was hilarious.

Strategy rpg using music? Could this use more buzzwords? All genre-knocking aside, I am pretty surprised this is for the older generation ipods and not the Touch or iPhone. I haven't had any satisfactory gaming experiences on the ipods yet that have convinced me that the ipods are a viable gaming platform, even for super-duper casual games.

Ooh boy am I happy that ATB is back versus the tactics-esque FFXII system. Also it seems that Square is ontop of their game for this one, hopefully they won't run into deadends because of the nature of the different hardware. Sure, other games have pulled off multi-plat more or less easily in the past, but this is different. To me, at least. :/

From the article: Speaking to the concept of paying third parties for exclusives, Tretton said that Sony has "invested so much money in the [PS3] hardware" that it simply "can't write checks for exclusive software."
The success or failure of a platform is based solely on the software's capacity to engage people. That's it. Period....

Whoa wait what? More news about FF7 compilation? Being the fan of the super complex storyline that people fail to recognize but generally do recognize, I am totally psyched. This could effect my decision of slowly accumulating cash for a console. O_O

Did he say "friendly" and "takeover" in the same sentence? I'd would have called it a buyout if it was indeed a "friendly takeover". "Takeover" seems to imply unwillingness on the part of the overtaken.
Great, now I've said these words so many times that they have become nonsense words. Takeover. Overtake. Blah blah. :D
