Thread: Advent Children and Dirge of Cerebus

  1. #1

    Default Advent Children and Dirge of Cerebus

    Advent Children takes place two years after FFVII, but when does DoC take place? If it is after AC, do you think that it will make reference to the events in AC, or vice versa? Discuss please.
    Yeah, you know I Sabin have both the Genji Glove and Offering, inflicting max damage with each blow. Doom? Pwn3d. Kefka? Pwn3d.

    Too big.

    I'm not real big on DoC so I really don't know when it takes place. :\

    I think its so dum that they are making DoC with Vincent as the Main Character. They should keep it original with Cloud...not Vincent. Who cares about that wierd guy. He wasnt even a necessary part of the storyline in FF7.

    Keep it original? Cloud as the main character has been done plenty of times. Doing it again would not be original.

    Lots of people like Vincent, and you always have the option not to play it. And, if you consider his past with (SPOILER)Sephiroth's mother, yes he is a neccesary part of the story, even as an optional character.

    Cloud has only been the main character in FF7 and Advent Children thats not that much, and if they want to make the game with another person at least choose someone from the main party...(even though it would be better with Yuffie than with Vincent.)My choice would be Barret or Cid.

    That's more than the average character, and I still dont see how doing it again makes it original.

    They chose Vincent from his popularity and his extreme propensity for an interesting story. The end.

    for the type of game it seems to be, vincent is the only character that would work. He has a gun, it seems the gun is integral to the game, no-other character uses a gun. As I've said in other threads, it's more likely they wanted to do a shooter type game or something, and they were making sequels to FFVII and saw that Vincent was popular and they could kill two birds with one stone.

    Vincents story isnt that ineteresting and Barret has a gunarm so it wouldnt be much different than a gun

    Vincent's story IS interesting! If you compared Vincent to Cloud, Vincent is the stronger one, even. That's that. Vincents story wasn't explained in very much detail in the game, so why not make a game explaining it? Sounds great to me! You're just a simple Vincent hater. You don't understand him, so you hate him, right? Right!

    Vincent has a very interesting and expansive backstory. Barret's backstory was explained very well, Vincent's is still mysterious.

    I could be wrong, but have you gone out of your way to see ALL the scenes that have to do with Vincent’s back-story? I'm not saying that if you did, you would think he was more interesting, but from posts in other threads, it seems to me that you may have not seen everything.

    Do you think Sephiroth's story is uninteresting?


    As for Barret's gunarm, it's more like a machine gun, so there's not a lot of aiming required. Not much of a shooter. Are you a fan of Barret?

    I'll say this though, Vincent never got closure in the end, but Barret did. Simple as that. What story are they going to tell about Barret's past, or his future? Have a tamagotchi or Sims-like mini-game, where you raise Marlene? :O_O: We pretty much know everything that is significant about his past, and I think he just wanted peace for his daughter in the future. Nice, but not very interesting. Vincent's past is still shrouded in mystery, leaving more room to make a game based off the unknown, and him dealing with his past and inner demons. Figuratively, and possibly quite literally.
