Dirge of Cererus was a bold new step for Final Fantasy, I only hope they make a few more like it.
DoC did nothing innovative for the action genre at all. Everything you see in that game has been done many times before and to a mucher higher degree of quality. Just because it was a departure for Square, does not mean that they actually made an innovative game. It seems to me this was nothing more than a FF VII cash in. People see the name on the box and buy it, not knowing wether the game is good or bad.
