I heard about a Play Online feature as well - it said that you could side with Vincent or the Deep Grond Soldiers as you played, but it was still very undefined.
I wonder how a game that is supposed to rely heavily on the storyline like this shall cope with online playing, but wel...

It recently surfaced that Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus would feature online play of some sorts. We reported on the announcement when it was made, but at the time, nothing more was known than the fact that it would have an online mode. GameSpot has since shed some light on the subject, and the following list details the online aspect of the upcoming Gun Action RPG:

• Fully featured online mode via Square Enix's Playonline service
• Players will control a soldier of the enemy Deep Ground organization
• Multiple players can cooperate in mission-based gameplay
• A Versus mode for players to compete against each other is also expected
