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.
