I there ACUALLY a DIRGE of Cerberus in the game?

[BarelySeeAtAll]

ok, whats wrong with the title, it sounds so cool, whether meaning is behind it or not

well, I do believe they mean "dirge of cerberus" as "The Sad song (story) of Vincent Valentine" Now, I'm not going to spoil WHY Vincent would be called cerberus, but if you have played and beaten the game, you would know why.

I understand that part, I just wanted to know if they actually made a song about Vincent Related to or called "Dirge of Cerberus".


Dirge=sad song or poem;but can also be a song or poem that tells or describes a story or someone's life....Kinda like the songs the Bards played back during the old england days...(god, I cant remember what they were called...gonna bother me all day)

I think I know your thinking why Vincent may be called Cerberus. I'll PM you.

I also agree with this reasoning of why the game is called "Dirge of Cerberus". It's what I originally thought. In a lot of fiction, bad things repeatedly happening to a character can become highly amusing.

As an aspiring writer, I've read books about characters and structure etc, and one particular book states that if too much tragedy happens to a character it becomes funny. I think this can be true for videogames as well. However, Vincent's story isn't funny in the slightest in my opinion. I believe the writer of this book I've read needs to realise that it depends on the character and the story.

I think out of the playable characters, Vincent has to be my favourite.

I never really understood why this was a bad title. It makes sense to me, on several different levels and...I dunno. It just doesn't bother me at all. I actually quite like it.

Besides, there have been other odd titles/sub-titles as well. I'll bring up, 'Pandora Tomorrow', which, even though the title itself, makes sense in a way, I find it really retarded :/

lol, I really shouldny have put "gay title", shoulda worded it differently

its not a bad title at all, I actually like it bc it fits perfectly with the theme of the game.

I was just hoping they actually wrote a dirge about cerberus/vincent.

a song, poem, anything....but no, they didnt

I think Dirge of Cerberus just refers to all the pain and sufferring that vincent has to undergo it really is like a Dirge.

ya I know, but I figured someone (like uemetsu (sp?)) would have actually wrote a song or poem actually called dirge of cerberus. a neat concept really if ya ask me, just never carried out.
