"Your last chance to get this information" said the email. "If you don't get back to us, we'll take your name off our lists".
But a quick scan through convinced me that this wasn't something I was interested in .... indeed, I couldn't really figure out why I had been selected as the recipient.
Looking through to the end of the email, I found the final section, in a smaller font, stating "If you do not wish to receive any further information please click on this link ...."
Err - I thought the whole of the email was to tell me this was the very last one!
"Final Fantasy" was a great game, I understand. In fact it was so good that it was followed by Final Fantasy II .... and so on and we're going to see the launch of Final Fantasy XIV. Somehow, it doesn't seem very "final" to me.
