Genre: Gun RPG

Official site: Dirge of cerberus


Characters known to be in the game and information about their role:

Vincent : When the Shin-Ra Company was still known as Shin-Ra Manufacturing Works, he was a gunman for the Turks. His body was reconstructed by Shin-Ra's mad scientist, Hojo, and he went to sleep in a coffin in the Shin-Ra Mansion, but three years ago he went together with Cloud's group and saved the world.

On an invitation from Reeve, Vincent visits the Kalm Revival Festival. There, he is met with the raid by the Deep Ground Soldiers. Beginning with this attack, tragic love from a time long ago and his own mysterious past come to light...

Cait Sith : Speaking in his unique accent, he's a self-proclaimed fortune-telling robot.

To see the outcome of his predictions, he went with Cloud's group on their journey, but he was really a spy controlled by Reeve of the Shin-Ra Company's Department of Urban Development. Soon, he was moved by the actions of Cloud's group, and he eventually became a double agent as well as a reassuring, active companion. After the collapse of the Shin-Ra Company, his double acts as member of a private organization which helps regenerate the Planet, known as the World Regeneration Organization (W.R.O.).

When does it take place?:
3 Years after FF7 / 1 Year after advent children

What will the plot revolve around?
As of now, a lot and very little is known. A group of peoples, known as deep ground Soldiers, who went underground when Meteor hit midgar, are now comming out and attacking cities.

Vincent has some connections with them and helped with Cait Sith, has to (obviously?) fight them.

The story also will delve into Vincent's past and more will be reveiled about it. Could both DGS and his past connects?

What are deep ground Soldiers? (DGS):
DGS is another group of SOLDIER created in secrecy by the late President Shinra. They are now comming out and attacking people. As of why, the reason is still unknown.

Gun RPG?:
The game appears to have both RPG and first person shooting capacities. It is very hard to explain this game's genre since it appears to be a mix of several elements found in games such a metal gear solid, Kingdom hearts, Devil may cry, and as explained by the producers, RPG aspects.

Where are the others from FF7?:
Though this trailer hasn't made it's way on the internet, it was shown at the E3-2005 and FFVII characters, Reeve, Yuffie, Cid, Barret and what appears to be Tifa are shown. Yuffie finds Vincent in the ShinRa mansion again. The Highwind is featured, along with a motorbike which has an unknown rider.

Will there be any summons/Magic?:
No information is available as of now.

Sigh. As if the plot of AC already didn't throw common sense and canon out the window, we've got THIS to go with it and the cell phone game. Joy.

I'm excited about it. I finally have a PS2 and now I can hope to get it.
O_O!!!!!!!
Did anyone else besides me notice someting weird about this. Why is it that everyting is in Japanese, but then you look in the center and it says Dirge of Cerberus in big English letters. HHHMMMM. How convinient. Just put this in for some thought. biggrin
Why a game of him? Well maybe this cannot clearly say why ,. but it may help.

Vincent is having a story that has a lot of possibilities. From his moments in the turks to the moments he has been experimented on by Hojo.

After that comes advent children which i rather not too much talk about in case of reveiling any spoilers.

i also heard that at Square-enix , they are very fond of that character. this could explain the reason why he gets his own game and not another character.

Also , Vincent Shadowy life and demeanor can give more depths into this kind of game. Of course, if it is to look (or take whatsoever inspiration from DMC) His character is the perfect candidate for it smile

-----

Now i hear you asy that the story of AC doesnt make sense,. of course, at this time and with so little reveiled , it doesn't quite make sense. But give the racer his chance and he might prove you wrong ~winks~ the Story of Advent children so far seems very promissing but of course , nothing can please everyone. but dont judge before you see razz

------

~also asves money for PS2~
