Crazy Survivors?

From AC.NET

Even after a climatic battle with Sephiroth and the collision of the legendary spells Meteor and Holy, the details of Final Fantasy VII's conclusion remain somewhat ambiguous. However, amid the questions and untold tales, there is one thing that is certain: The city of Midgar was destroyed - though its story is still far from over.

As part of what Square Enix has dubbed the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII", Dirge of Cerberus elaborates on the events steming from Sephiroth's defeat by following Vincent as he re-enters the industrial wreckage of Midgar. His mission is to combat the world's newest threat - violent and crazed soldiers, formerly employed by Shinra, who survived for years trapped underneath the rubble of the once-thriving city.

Of course, to handle these aggressive and militaristic foes, Vincent will be leaving his turn-based ways behind in favor of some big guns and frantic firing. Yoshinori Kitase, the game's producer tells us "We wanted to make it something like Escape from New York. The whole city of Midgar is overrun with crazy survivors, and you have to fight through them." Throughout this third person shooter adventure, players will be able to use a variety of different weapons and skills. Though many of tools at Vincent's disposal are still a mystery, we can only hope that his unique ability to transform into terrifying abominations will make an appearence. "You'll have to wait for more information on that." Kitase teases.

Thankfully, Dirge won't be completely abandoning its roots in favor of twitchy shooting. "There is an emphasis on both the story and the gunplay," explains Kitase. "We want to create something that will appeal not only to an action fan, but aslo RPG fans." As such, players can expect to learn more about Vincent's shadowy past, including his time with the Turks, his history with the scientist Hojo, and his relationship with Lucreita.

Though only confirmed as a single-player expereince, Dirge's action-oriented gameplay seems ideal for multiplayer and online options as well. Kitase was reluctant to reveal any specifics about these possibilities, but he did confirm that we have a great deal to learn about Dirge of Cerberus: "Look forard to hearing more about the game's other features in the furture," he tells us. "We want to make a product that will appeal to people right away, and then surprise them.





Midgar again? Crazy survivors? Why do I have this strange feeling AC is not going to be a happy film?

I HOPE AC isn't happy! :whistle:

But every comment given by the staff of DC makes me want it more and more! I am tired of RPG style play and having Vincent in a more action oriented game would just be orgasmic to me. @_@

I've never thought that AC would be a happy film. :lol: The trailers have been too "dark" and dismal for me to think that it'll be happy.

The thing that interests me most about DoC is learning more about Vincent's past with the Turks, Hojo, and his relationship with Lucrecia. The first paragraph sorta confuses me, though:

Even after a climatic battle with Sephiroth and the collision of the legendary spells Meteor and Holy, the details of Final Fantasy VII's conclusion remain somewhat ambiguous. However, amid the questions and untold tales, there is one thing that is certain: The city of Midgar was destroyed - though its story is still far from over.

Midgar doesn't look to be totally destroyed in AC, and they've started rebuilding it. Does it get more destroyed in AC? :unsure:

Well, Kadaj did summon Bahamut Sin and other unpleasant beasties in Midgar... but I am surprised that Midgar seemed to be the premise of DC.

I thought it was in Nibelheim...

I'm just trying to figure out why they're saying that Midgar got totally destroyed. :unsure:

I thought it was Nibelheim at first, too. I remember one pic where it looked like Vincent was outside of the Shinra mansion in Nibelheim. But they've been saying it takes place in Midgar for a long time.
