I know I haven't posted much in this board, but this should help get me settled in. Everyone, set your faces to STUNNED.

http://media.adventchildren.net/scans/jp0915.jpg

A scan from Shounen Jump for the new FFVII game has surfaced. The game has been titled Final Fantasy VII: Dirge Of Cerberus and features Vincent as the main character. It should be noted that Midgar is shown in ruins, indicating that the game will be a sequel, rather than a prequel. The story of Dirge of Cerberus takes place 1 year after Advent Children. Vincent, while in a town that was supposed to be peaceful now, is attacked by a mysterious group called "DC" (possibly Dirge of Cerberus). He also mentions a place where he will be meeting Reeve. Dirge of Cerberus is scheduled for a 2005 release on the PS2, though its genre has not been confirmed. Some new screens from AC are also in the scan, though they may contain minor spoilers.

Square revealing new FFVII screenshots of anything is like throwing meat in front of a dog. Yeesh.

Me? I'm not all that excited. Sure it looks cool, but FFX had a much bigger effect on me than I had ever expected. I actually lost quite a lot of faith in Square, so I'm not really expecting much from their future games.

I'm beginning to think that Before Crisis and this new one aren't prequels or sequels, but spinoffs. With that in mind, Cloud probably won't be playable, so I automatically like it less, but I'll still get it (if I can).

This new one also seems to be more of an action type of game, and not an RPG. If it handles like Devil May Cry and Castlevania: Lament Of Innocense, then I'll like it :D.

I know we all wanted more FFVII, but this is just ridiculous. I was hyped about Advent Children and slightly ecstatic about Before Crisis, but this one just doesn't excite me at all.

Jolts, I don't know what you mean by "spinoff", but this game is definitely either a prequel or sequel starring Vincent.

Each year, several people make a fake poster about a forthcoming FF sequel. There was an FFVII-2 poster at April Fool's last year, and a couple of FFVIII-2 ads since then.

However, several sites with info on the same title is enough to hint at a genuine possibility, for me.

I'd be the first to agree that VV deserves his own story - a deep, troubled character with a still-vague back-story.

We just have to hope that the sheer speed that they're producing new stories won't compromise the sheer quality that set FFVII so far above the competition. I have faith in them not to let blatant sequel-itis drag the series down in the way that it affected The Matrix.

Edit: Square-Enix have trademarked the name (http://rds.yahoo.com/S=2766679/K=Dirge+of+cerberus/v=2/SID=e/l=WS1/R=1/H=0/IPC=nz/SHE=0/*-http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=1278), thus suggesting they're intending to use it.

Jolts
09-16-2004, 05:39 AM
Jolts, I don't know what you mean by "spinoff"
It has a story and plot of its own, and is not directly connected the original, Final Fantasy VII, in any way, with the exception of returning characters. Just like The Scorpion King is a spinoff of the recent The Mummy series.

Read the above article again. It's a sequel, one year after AC. And I hope Square makes every ridiculous FFVII related game/movie/whatever they can think of. To hell with moderation, it's been seven years without any closure to the best game they ever made. Make a Yuffie only game for all I care (in fact, the idea excites me a bit).


Something tells me that something bad happens to Cloud and Tifa though...

Tifa? Naw. In fact, I have a strong feeling she'll have a role in the game, if not a 2nd playable character. After all, if this game rips off DMC as much as it seems, keep in mind that Dante also featured martial arts. :) As for Cloud, well.....let's hope for a happy ending.

Final Fantasy Advent Children=Kewl a Movie! No more mysteries, yay!

Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis=Too much, make another inspirational game instead!

Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus= WTF?!

chaos: Basically, AC was more than enough IMO. Rather than milking a great game for all it's worth, wouldn't it be good to start from scratch, try to make another legendary FF with new characters, storyline, timeline etc?

Rubedo: It might look cool, but all these games about FFVII are making me wanna throw up...

Wow this is gonna kick SO MUCH ASS!!!!!! I remeber after X-2 came out square said they had no intention on building off any of the other final fantasy's. Now there are gonna be 4 installments of 7!!! BC, Original, AC, DC. Im glad vincents the main character. Vincent was always my favorite even though his stats or overdrive werent great.
WE MUST FIND SOMEONE TO DECODE THIS INTO ENGLISH!!!!!!

It's funny that AC hasn't even come out yet and a few people are acting like it's already been and gone. Before Crisis only came out the other day, too. Yet there seems to be this pre-emptive sense of gloom, as though some people have already played - and been disappointed by - all of the upcoming FFVII sequels.

Often, it's better to wait and see what something's like before dismissing it out of hand.

"OMG, some hairy twerp from New Zealand is making three movies based on that old 1950s fantasy story. How lame! One movie's more than enough, but it's doomed to suck anyway because it couldn't possibly be good".

Starcrest
09-17-2004, 02:52 AM
in guess you got a point BigD...i think my mom said that people who read the book's didn't think the movies'd be any good, and they were wrong...so who knows, we may be wrong about these games and movie as well

Big D
09-17-2004, 02:57 AM
Whether AC, BC and DoC are going to be good or bad, it's hard to say 'cause we haven't seen 'em yet. They might be astounding successes, they might suck outright. It'll end up being a matter of personal opinion as much as anything, but I reckon it's important to give them a chance, first.

Of course, many people mightn't like the idea of an FFVII sequel; that, however, doesn't mean they'll hate the sequels when they actually come out:)

aeris2001x2
09-17-2004, 03:02 AM
i am definitly one of those ppl. i,m so worried they will ruin the ffVII story. but i cant judge till i play it...and it may well kick ass yet.

here here i agree

Big D
09-17-2004, 03:27 AM
Even if AC ends with Cloud transforming into a butterfly and flying away to Magical Fairly La-La Land to live with the Happy Pretty Elves of Doom... FFVII itself will remain the same. Whatever they decide to do in the sequels, it can't really change the original story. If the sequels turn out to be utter poopie, then we can just ignore them and pity Square for messing up a chance to build on a past success.

aeris2001x2
09-17-2004, 03:32 AM

chaos: I'm not saying that "OMG teh suk 'cause they're sequels". I am almost certain they are probably going to be great. My only problem is that they are using FFVII to much. I loved the game, but I'd rather see a new story, then based on the same thing.

Rubedo: No offense, and this is just our opinion. Granted, I will still get the game, play it, and enjoy it.

thats exactly my feeling. even if it is good, i dont think it will come close to the original. i think they should put more energy into ensuring ffXIII and ffXIV are really good :)

Trumpet Thief
09-17-2004, 04:33 AM
chaos: Exactly! Rather than overusing the perfect FF, try to create something just like it, or even closer. I would rather want a great FF, than another sequel. Although, I still think the sequels are pretty cool, but apparently, they are putting them ahead of FFXII.

I think that if Square Enix made a sequel to VI where it shows the trials of the mother and father of Terra and it would then show how the Esper World got destroyed then I'd actually give them credit.

Ancient Goddess
09-17-2004, 07:51 AM
I've talked about this somewhere else when I heard it...and I still can't believe it. Just to save time, I'm just going to post what I said about it earlier.


I'm anxious to see what it's going to do with Advent Children, but don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping up and down like most to see it. Just a curiousity.

Let's see...would I get it? The answer to that is a definite no. I was already stupid enough to get a spinoff/sequel of another Final Fantasy, and I will never do that again (why I still have FF X-2 in my collection, only God knows...). I simply didn't like enough characters in FFVII to get all of its merchandise or any of its new games...the best people in it, in my opinion, were Reno, Rufus, and Yuffie. I don't see many people rushing to the stores to buy a game based off of the three, and I certainly don't see many people running to purchase this one either, but who knows, I could be wrong. If they wanted to make a lot of money, make one solely based on Sephiroth's life when he first joined SOILDER (without Cloud and the Planet's Crisis). That would probably make tons more money than this one.

Anyway, this is probably one of the many things Square will be launching in mood of its popularity of Advent Children. I suppose I should just get used to the fact.

It's true that there are people who think FF7 is overrated. And it's also true that there are people who prefer other FFs over FF7. But I don't think you'll even find anyone who considers FF7 the worst one. Millions and millions of fans across the world can't be wrong. You however, I'm not so sure about *drops issue*

It does sound like Square's milking it. But Vincent's a cool guy. The screens look beautiful. I gotta say that the name does draw attention and raise questions.

It also sounds like AC's gonna end in a stupid cliffhanger just so everyone will have to go out and buy DoC.

09-18-2004, 02:16 AM
i got a few points to make.

a) will NOT be as sucktasticly un-FF like as X-2 was (it was a good enough game, jsut DEFINITELY not FF). Think about it. It was Rikku, and Yuna without the burden. it was BOUND to be ultra happy. this is VINCENT VALENTINE. he will not be giving massages to Reeve as a mini game. it's freaking VINCENT. this will rival most other FF's in terms of dark storylines in my opinion.

b) as long as the games are decent, i dare say run the thing up a wall. seriously, FF is cool as a one timer, it's survived that way for eons now. but if they CAN keep up quality, then why not? eventually it will get old, but they should be smart enough to stop before then. This, in my opinion, is really only the second "sequel". The cell phone game just seems like something to blow time on riding a train or something. (when have you EVER played a cellphone game in lue of your PS2?) the Movie is NOT A GAME. it's a bit of clarification, added storyline. If they tacked it on to the end of FFVII, or added it to the beggining of DC, would you really be complaining? plus, it what, like 50 min?

c) this one worries me. click the shonen jump scan. look about an inch below the logo, on the right. Blue FFVII Meteor that says .... "COMPILATION of FINAL FANTASY VII" in those exact words. what the hell does THAT mean? is this game to include a ps2 re release of FFVII and before crisis? bundled with AC? this one worries me, a lot. any one with info please get back to me before i heave in panic...

Big D
09-18-2004, 03:23 AM
this is VINCENT VALENTINE. he will not be giving massages to Reeve as a mini game. Aw. But it doesn't hurt to hope, right?

Even with its upbeat, occasionally air-headed cast, X-2 managed to generate a dark tone quite often. Shuyin's back-story, and his present-story, come to think of it, were fairly sinister. But I see what you mean. Vincent's overall tone will is much more brooding and darkly spiritual than the others.b) as long as the games are decent, i dare say run the thing up a wall. seriously, FF is cool as a one timer, it's survived that way for eons now. but if they CAN keep up quality, then why not? eventually it will get old, but they should be smart enough to stop before then.

Excellent points. AC is going to be about 100 minutes, give or take, so whatever happens is going to happen fairly quickly. It'll be good to see what kind of 'journey' Vincent goes on, to set up DoC.c) this one worries me. click the shonen jump scan. look about an inch below the logo, on the right. Blue FFVII Meteor that says .... "COMPILATION of FINAL FANTASY VII" in those exact words. what the hell does THAT mean? is this game to include a ps2 re release of FFVII and before crisis? bundled with AC? this one worries me, a lot. any one with info please get back to me before i heave in panic...Probably a mis-translation, I'd guess. Many Japanese publications like to throw in semi-random English words, in order to gain extra 'coolness'. Compilation, here, probably means either sequel or continuation. The only way I can see it being a compilation would be if the game 'compiled' Vincent's entire story, including what happened to him pre-FFVII. I doubt they'd bother with that, it'd be better to tell any relevant details of his past by making them come up in the context of his 'present day' story.

And for the general interest of those who're still wondering... a dirge is a mournful song, like a lament for the dead. So, a 'Dirge of Cerberus' would be a sad song about the mythical three-headed dog.

Carnage
09-18-2004, 05:25 AM
X-2 should not have been made. But it was good. if they do this for every FF i will die a little more inside. a sequal to FF8 would be cool cause i was so lost at the end of that game.


Omg... please kill me... not another sequel to Square's crapiest FF ever... :eep:

Well, in my case I don't really care about a DVD movie and a game for a system I'm never going to own, but I am interested in this PS2 project. Vincent was one of my favorite characters and I will certainly check this out if it is ever made.

Square-Enix has so many project at this time, that it only could go wrong. :mad: Stupid Square-Enix do usefull things like collecting stamps......euhm.......no.......do things like bring out new games or remakes of old games, but don't keep making things about one and the same games. It makes me going crazy.

Now, if It has the same gameplay formula as FF7 (Probably too much to hope here.), I might give this one a chance. But I think they're blowing FF7 waaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion with this game n' movies n' things.

GhandiOwnsYou
09-19-2004, 04:14 AM
mmhmm. the only FF i can't see with a sequel would ahve to be nine. It' had a happy fluffy ending, all nice and pieced together. FFVII finished in the middle of an apocalypse, and FFVIII resolved without ever tying up loose ends with time compression and seifers story, etc. and FF X finished with the "death" of the main character, and the other character in tears. those just lend themselves to sequels like i dunno what. My guess is FFVIII is on the list for the future.

as a side point, does anyone realize that Kingdom Hearts was probably a strategic point? seriously.....re introduce ALL the old characters in high res, get the nonstalgia going for cloud and yuffie and aerith and cid? ....THEN release movies and sequels? this is ALSO what makes me think FFVIII is coming. Seriously, think about it. I know after i played that i had a hankering for the old FF's, and it WOULD be a sly way to build up a desire for sequels.

Then Again, maybe they were testing the waters? Would gamers respond to seeing the old characters again in a new game, with a different role and story? then after it was succesful, all hell broke loose with the sequelness, because people WOULD buy it for the characters. (seriously, how many of you woulda bought it without squall and cloud in it? a DISNEY game.... seriously....)

Sorry, but this doesn't really excite me. The novelty of extending existing storylines has worn off, and I can't see this game living up to everyone's huge expectations. It might be good, but it probably won't be great.

Old Manus
09-19-2004, 05:10 PM
I'm not excited. Square goes along at a nice pace until FFX, when they spin-off FFX-2, then they make all these 'Tactics' games, CC for GAMECUBE, then there are rumours of a film for FFVII, and a sequel for FFVII, ALL BEFORE FFXI IS RELEASED(in europe).

And all of these games really were generally rubbish (FFX-2, tactics).

It's all phsychology. You see the new game out, you know it won't be as good as the original, but buy it anyway because you just HAVE to know what happens next.

If AC is bad, I will stop buying these waste of time spin-offs.

Starcrest
09-19-2004, 06:40 PM
Wait a minute. Tactics for the ps was a good game. Tactics advanced, well, lets just say imo i couldn't finish the game. Almost everyone who liked/likes FFVII is excited about the movie, just read any of it's forums. But the two new games, though, most people are just like...'eh, it's there, i'll try it, unlike the movie were alot of ppl are like 'ohmygosh,' about it.

Giga Guess
09-21-2004, 01:28 AM
I'm approaching this the same way I'm approaching Advent Children. With cautious apprehension. IMO, it will go one of two ways:
1.) Absolutely to die for. I mean, they hav, in both cases, a very strong storyline to work from.
2.) Absolute Crap. The law of sequels people, and this one has some mighty big shoes to fill.

I figure when/if it comes out, I'll give it a rent.

I don't mind the idea of a sequel to this game. I don't love it either. FF7 was one of the best Final Fantasy's, but I reckon they should have left it at the movie Advent Children.

I think if they made FFVII: Beach Vollyball Im gonna think that they really hit the bottom of the barrel.

I think you should delete that post. If Square-Enix see it, they might steal the idea off you and release FFVII: Beach Vollyball on PS2. :p

You know, everyone keeps mentioning that they should have left it with the movie Advent Children. I really think that this depends on how exactly Advent Children ends.

Vincent seems to be playing a fairly important role, as he is seen interacting with Cloud more than the other characters do. Really, the only other person we've had screens of Cloud with is Tifa in the church, presumably after her fight with Loz. Sure, they've mentioned a battle where all of the characters go against the three Sephiroth clones, but other than that, not much.

Then again, it can end well and tie up Cloud's story and then open up to events that will take place for Vincent in Dirge of Cerberus. Like I've said elsewhere, I doubt that Square Enix said, "Let's make a movie," and then when that went over well with fans mentioned Before Crisis and Dirge of Cerberus. I bet they had this going from the beginning. I'm sure the two sequels will connect in a way. That won't be so bad.

meh, i guess you have a point, but why not release all three at the same time rather then spread it out?

Ouch!

First of all, I doubt we'll ever get Before Crisis outside of Japan. Even if they ported it to a handheld system, the online features wouldn't work out very well.

That leaves Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. There's time elapsed between the two, it makes sense to me to release the first and then the second. Give people time to get their hands on Advent Children and then shove Dirge of Cerberus down their throats.

Yeah, Advent Children should come out before Dirge of Cerberus, if not at the same time. Same time releases wouldn't be all that cool, but its probably whats going to happen.

Also, I've heard about upgrades in US cell phones, and saying that Before the Crisis could come out here. If it does come out at all, it will be for a handheld system. I think, anyway.

BTW, nice sig, Zaphier.

I don't know what to think. To be honest, though I am super excited about Advent Children, FFVII would've been ok WITHOUT a sequal at all. I know most people don't agree with me, but I think the story telling in the game itself was fantastic enough to justify the cliffhanger ending. Perhaps, even, this could've been a Final Fantasy where things didn't work out for the best. Would that really be so terrible?

I just really don't want to see overkill here. Contrary to many beliefs, it IS possible to do way way way too much of something, and I think that this is bordering on that. Even if Dirge of Cerberus is an amazing game, does that make it necessary to the Final Fantasy VII title? I don't understand why we need all this closure. To be honest, if the characters were realistic, we wouldn't have closure at all. These people would go on with their lives (unless, of course, they were dead, obviously) and it would be nice and boring.

What am I trying to say here? I don't know. So much about this makes me nervous. I guess I'll just wait and see.

Final Fantasy XI came out in Japan around two years ago and the PC version came to NA last year in October and the PS2 version came out earlier this year around March. It's online.

There is no game with the life after FF6, at least there's nothing I've heard, and usualy I'm not that wrong either.
