Before any feathers are ruffled, I should first admit that I've been a relatively warm fan of the Final Fantasy series of games since the first Super Nintendo installment of it hit American shores. I've always been a sucker for a good story, and most of the time Squaresoft is able to deliver that with some spectacular game play and graphics tossed handily into the mix. However, there is a rather grim storm looming on the horizon for some of us "FF" proponents. The II th incamadon of the now near- famous RPG is hitting the BG's local store Internet, after a fashion. lust in case you haven't caught on yet, I'm talking about a massive mul- tiplayer experience.

Certainly the genre ability of various CDs, and price—quite the opposite of the typical corporate music chain, is fun, but it demands too much which primarily sells what is "hot" on the pop charts. This marketing method works toward the time to play. customers' benefit, as Ryan Beech explains. "College kids just don't care about the image of This particular pot can't call the rock stars and what is popular. Plus, they don't have much money, so it's great to be able to find kettle black for long. As I've said, cool music cheap." I'm a big "Final Fantasy" fan. "Final Fantasy," at least for me, is Take Madhatters prices, for example. Here, Dave Matthews Band's Under the Table and a better beast to contend with.
