[q=SocietyzAntidote]this is VINCENT VALENTINE. he will not be giving massages to Reeve as a mini game. [/q]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.[quote]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?
[/q]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.[q]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...[/q]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.
