*throws hands in the air* WTF are y'all doing, Squeenix. Other than milking the cash cow for all it's worth. *eyetwitch* At this point, Squeenix has pissed me off so much with breaking up my OTP that I seriously want to go to Tokyo and beat down the doors to Squeenix, screaming for them the bring me the heads of the scriptwriters. It's not like the scriptwriters are using their heads, and I would at least use them for decorative AND educational purposes--hey, kids, see those heads on pikes? That's what happens when you piss off fangirls with bad writing! :D
