Us Unfortunate Europeans...

So, I was recently watching a few videos of Twilight Princess and Final Fantasy IIIĀ over at Gametrailers, and now, I wish I'd never seen them. Why? Simple: My anticipation for both of them has skyrocketed.

So, I decided to see when Final Fantasy III would be released in Europe, expecting it to be sometime in December...I guess I was wrong, because when I looked at GameSpot's page for it, a big "Q1 2007"was shoved in my face.

Sure, it might get released in January, but there's always that chance it could get released in February or even in March.

That's what gets to me quite a lot, us Europeans always have to wait so much longer for games to come out than North Americans. Look at Kingdom Hearts 2: In North America, it was released in March 28. Joy, eh? Not for us, as we discover that we don't get it until September 29.

What made me get somewhat more angry is when the Americans started complaining about not getting a black DS Lite. Seriously, they get everything before us, yet they complain when one product doesn't arrive there? Let me say 2 things: Final Fantasy Tactics and Xenosaga Episode 1. 2 great RPG's that never made it to Europe, and the only reason I have it is because a friend a friend sold it to me, although I have no idea as to how he got it.

But, if there are people who deserve to complain, it's the Australians, they get it far worse than us.

So, what other great games are we going to miss out on? Will we ever get a game before America? I'm not sure, we'll have to let time tell.


Sorry if this seemed offensive to anyone in anyway, I just had to get that off my chest :)
