"We had the opportunity today to sit down with Yoshinori Kitase at the Square Enix booth. Mr. Kitase’s credits include serving as the producer for both Final Fantasy X as well as the upcoming Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and his current project is Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. While we didn’t get very many concrete details about the game, we did get some insight into the ongoing development process of this title based on a cherished RPG world. The game’s title, Dirge of Cerberus, comes from the name of Vincent’s weapon. His gun was apparently one of the very first items of the game that was designed, and the unique, three-barreled weapon is called Cerberus. Mr. Kitase professes to be a big fan of action gun games (he named Medal of Honor and Half Life as favorites), which he cited as one of the reasons they decided to go with a gun combat game. However, he notes that the game isn’t going to be merely an all-action game—which he says is boring as a creator to design—but is going to incorporate RPG elements and have a strong focus on the storyline. Much like other recent Final Fantasy games, Dirge of Cerberus will feature voiceovers, and he mentioned that the voice actors (in Japanese, at least) will be kept constant through the properties in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. The basic gameplay model is going to be that of a third-person shooter, and the team is currently working on refining traits like response speed in the game. Mr. Kitase said that one of the reasons the game wasn’t shown at E3 was that they were still working on the “controllability” of the game, and refining it. He did say that they would try to show the game at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Mr. Kitase says that he hopes existing Final Fantasy VII fans will be pleased with this game, which gives those fans a chance to experience what really happened to their favorite characters after the end of the original game. When asked directly about which Final Fantasy VII characters would be appearing in the game, he would only confirm those that have appeared so far in the game’s promotional materials (like Cait Sith), but he says they’re thinking of adding more, and they would like to put in some surprise encounters for players. When asked about a possible release window, the answer was as soon as possible, and that the team was working very hard on the game. We’ll be sure to keep you updated with any additional news about Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII as it emerges, so keep watching GameSpot and this gamespace for more information."

Bah! They like to go on and on about nothing in particular! It just leaves you wanting more since they don't really say anything new that's important! |

Good good! :lol: I guess this game will explain what really happened in the two years leading up to AC. Good stuff. If Cloud's not in it, I hope they still talk about him.

Ah, I was under the impression that DC took place after AC. So it's before then? Good to know. I'm not sure whether Cloud will be in it, since he's forsaken human contact for those two years, but maybe Vinnie will bump into him somewhere.

*somewhat lost*

I always thought DC happens after AC. AC is Cloud (&Sephy)'s story yes? So perhaps what Kitase-san meant was that DC will tackle what happen to the other fan-favourites like Vinny...Yuffie...Tifa?

To touch the light I see in your eyes...

I think that's an interesting paragraph. He says that DoC will allow fans to experience what really happened to their favorite characters after the end of FFVII. If AC is Cloud's story, then does DoC wrap it up for the rest of the characters? ![]() He also says there may be some surprise "encounters" - wouldn't an "encounter" include meeting up with a spirit?
No, DoC happens a year after AC. |

I'm thinking that we won't be getting to muchinfo on DoC until AC is released. It probably gives away too much. And Cait Sith is so cute!!!
