Years later, the compilation seemed to fizzle out after just three games (one of them Japan-only) and a movie, but after all this time we're getting a remake after all! Happy day! Still, before we had the remake to be excited about, we could play Crisis Core and the game we're talking about today which is Dirge of Cerberus.
Dirge of Cerberus is an interesting little game as it is the only game in the Compilation that is a direct sequel to the original game. It stars Vincent Valentine, one of the most popular characters from FFVII, as he deals with his inner demons and saves the world from a new threat that is actually much less new than we initially expect. The story may leave a lot to be desired, but it's still nice to come back to this story and these characters, especially if you're a fan of Vincent. The game was pretty controversial due to its mechanics, as it was not an RPG but a Third-Person Shooter with just a few RPG elements thrown in, and this did not sit well with a lot of fans.
Still, this is what we got! Have you played Dirge of Cerberus? Any fond (or terrible) memories you'd like to share? Let us know in the comments!
