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

Advent Children.net has published a new interview with Nomura which appeared in the July issue of Dorimaga magazine. The following is what he said about DoC. More info from the article about Advent Children can be found in this thread: New Nomura Interview Dirge of Cerberus "Not AC's 'sequel' and not a mere spin off, it's an epic story" - The much-awaited DC is finally getting underway now. Could you start by telling us roughly what the game is about? Nomura: The first thing I'd like to say is that DC isn't a sequel to AC. It does connect with AC chronologically, but it's a completely seperate story. - The main character is different too. Nomura: Yep. Questions unanswered in AC won't necessarily be revealed in DC. DC isn't going to touch on Geostigma, and conversely AC won't feature the DG SOLDIERS. AC will be concluded neatly in AC, so there's no need to worry about that (laughs). - I see. Since Vincent is taking the lead in DC, I guess we'll be seeing more about his past too? Nomura: There's a lot of things in Vincent's past that are shourded in mystery, but it will shed some light on it. In AC the story focus on Cloud, but in DC it shifts to Vincent, and shows Midgar as it is afterwards. We're planning on depicting his [tragic love] with Lucrecia, which wasn't shown in the original FFVII. Also investigating why those two didn't get together. - It looks like it's going to be a more grown-up game. Nomura: Yeah. We had decided from the start of the project to make it more mature. Even the design is different from AC and FFVII, so it has a atmosphere and world view that's unique to DC. FFVII itself is now nearly 10 years old. I think a lot of the people who played it back then are grown-up now. Maybe some of them don't play video games anymore. We're aiming for something a little difficult and mature, that they could enjoy. - It certainly give off a different impression that FFVII or AC and BC. Nomura: AC is primarily a story about Cloud and people close to him. But DC's story has lots of new characters and elements. It uses FFVII as it's theme, but if you play it you should get a new, different impression from it. Naturally there will be links unique to the Compilation, such as characters who appear in BC showing up in DC. Reversely, there's also the chance that other titles will be derived from DC in the future. - Finally, can you tell us about any of the game's highlights? Nomura: I think there are some people who believe that it's just a mere spin off, but it's a story on an huge scale. Even I was suprised by what it's becoming (laughs). I hope people will look forward to it. Source: Advent Children.net |

I agree! I think that's awesome!! ![]() I'm also surprised to hear him say that DC isn't a sequel to AC... that's even more of a reason for Cloud not to be a character in it. All they have to do is remember him...

Oh, the characters from BC will appear? That's rather interesting! The Turks, perhaps? I knew they're gonna do the whole Lucrecia thing. So having Hojo appearing in the game may not be far off. |
