The emo vampire is back!
Square-Enix finally gave to the clamor of fans and released Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus for the PS2, a sequel to one of the well-loved RPGs for the PSOne.
Dirge is a follow up to tell the story of the red-caped, gun-toting vampire hero Vincent Valentine, a memorable secret character from Final Fantasy VII (FF7) with a dark and haunted past. Here’s a snippet of a review from Gamespot by Greg Mueller:
Three years after Cloud, Vincent, and friends saved the world from total annihilation, people have started to put the pieces of their lives back together. But there’s more trouble in store: A group of elite soldiers known as Deepground have plans to revive the Omega weapon and destroy the world. However, they need Vincent in order to do so. It’s your job as Vincent to save the world once again while uncovering the secrets of your past to discover why you play such an important role in Deepground’s scheme.
I’ve always been a fangirl of the FF series and Vincent is definitely one of my more favorite character. Silent and deadly, yet he hides a compassionate soul beneath his dark veneer. After scouring online game sites, Dirge is unfortunately pegged as just one those generic shooter game–just point then shoot. It would be somewhat disappointing for the fans who had immensely enjoyed the complexity of Final Fantasy VII. It had also been mentioned that Vincent could only transform into Galian Beast–which is just one of the alter-egos of Vincent. Hmm, that doesn’t sound much to look forward to.

Not all may agree, but one of the things that I’m not really pleased about is the reappearance of Yuffie Kisaragi, the Materia-stealing ninja girl from Wutai and is also one of the secret characters in FF7. Vincent and Yuffie had always been paired in most fan fictions for FF7, but I’ve always favored the Vincent Valentine and Tifa Lockheart pairing. But I digress, The gang–yes, that would include the famous Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart, Cid Highwind and Barret–would also be making cameo-appearances in the beautifully rendered cutscenes a la Advent Children. Cait Sith, Reeve–yes, to your surprise–and Yuffie would be some of the characters who would be pretty much helping you out of (or getting you in) trouble.
Gameplay-wise, a lot of reviewers said that Dirge doesn’t hold an inch against the famous Devil May Cry series in the shooting genre. But if the fans out there would like to explore more on Vincent’s story, then you might want to give this game a shot. Lord knows I do.
Recommended Vincent x Tifa pairing fan fictions on the next post! Ja!

OMG!It’s Vincent!!I finished the game in a week…i kno…emo vampire obsessed ^.^
Hahaha. That’s nice to hear! I would do the same thing if I had the game. I so love Vincent–he’s my fave char ever since I played FF7. w00t for all the emo vampire obsessed fans! ^^,
Hi, everybody!
I heard that the long-awaited PAL version of Final Fantasy XII will be heading to Europe, Australia and other PAL-based parts of the world come early 2007. The latest installment in the best-selling series of epic RPG titles has been out in Japan since March, and will hit North America at the end of October.
Once again, PAL gamers have been left in the cold it would seem, whilst NTSC areas are looked after first… still, at least we know when it’s going to be out now. More over, it does look rather good, the developer describing it as the ‘crowning glory’ of the PS2 format which it will be exclusively available on. The new RPG will be set in the world of Ivalice, and will see Ashe and Vaan brought together to fight after their homeland is invaded.
We’re told to expect real-time combat, unlike past Final Fantasy outings, with Square Enix introducing ‘active dimension battle’, which will see you lining-up commands to be executed in battle, once a time gauge has filled. Or something. More on this as we get it.
does anyone know when it’s coming out in england?
ppppppppllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeee……..
I heard that Dirge is going to be released in UK and Ireland on November 24 2006. That’s still, what, more or less than 2 months from now? Yipes…
thank you machiko
Hurray for emo vampires!!!! I just love Vincent, and simply don’t give a damn about nasty critics about DoC. I thought it was pretty good for my part…By the way, I am currently writing a Vincent x Tifa fanfic, for anyone interested. The first installment should be posted in the next fews days on fanfiction.net. Seach for my author name on it (Aleksiina) and you should find, ye faithful vincent lovers!
see you around!
Aleksiina
p.s: if you do go check out my story, please review. I just love reviews…
You’ve tainted the ideals and everything Vincent stands for, (Aleksiina)vincent isn’t emo and he isn’t a frickn’ vampire get your facts straight he is half-demon because of the shinra Corperation doing tests on him. Play the game watch the movie and then open your word hole
WOO VINCENT IS THE BEST!! vampire emo rules
Imo this game was really good, though a bit short, only took a bit more than a day to finish…kinda liked the Vincent-Shelke pairing.
Wish you could’ve got to play on some other chars apart from Vincent/Cait Sith, would’ve liked to play as Cloud or Shelke even if just for one level.
aw guys. cloud is already with tifa so idk why you would think that. 😀 heh i dont care how short the game is i would just be happy to beat it and find out what happends. ill just rent it. plus emo vampire ! people dont like to be called emo but what can its say just a style. :X
:: what can i say its just a style :: lol
btw it said he was part of the turkish army. haha turks piss me off in like every game
I have to agree with Maxim: Vincent is not, I repeat: NOT A VAMPIRE. It may seem that way since he is an optional character in FFVII, where players find him in a -coffin- but again, for anyone who has paid more attention to his story than his “emo” (which I wouldn’t use to describe him. I’d say he’s more brooding than emo. For godsakes, he’s Vincent fuckin’ Valentine. He doesn’t cry.) looks, you’d know he placed himself in the coffin as punishment for not being able to protect Lucrecia, the one love of his life (wtf with the Yuffie/Tifa pairings? If he’s willing to brood and place himself away for 30 years, why the hell would he be interested in finding a new love? But yes, fan-fiction, I know; it’s just fan-service.)
Hojo shot Vincent and did experimentation on him that ultimately rendered Vincent’s body immortal because of the Jenova cells and coincedently a prime host for Chaos. Vampires (or the mythology of them) can not walk in sunlight and must drink blood in order to preserve their youth and energy. I do not remember any damn scenes where Vincent takes a bite out of anyone’s neck and then goes to sleep in his “emo” coffin for 12 hours.
Sorry to be so blunt but Vincent Valentine is a favorite of mine too and it bothers me that people don’t appreciate his story as much as his looks. He really is a great character.
And Wes, “emo” is not a style. If it were a “style” and so many people call Vincent “emo”, Vincent would be in tight 7 jeans with a goddamn sweater and a messanger bag. “Emo” is actually a ‘new’ genre of music (it’s really sappy indie-rock music but you know; you goddamn kids have to label everything and myspace the hell out of it.)
To be surprised that Vincent was a Turk obviously shows you didn’t play the original FFVII game and only saw the movie. I’m not attacking you but c’mon, play the game and appreciate it’s story like the rest of FFVII fans.
emos r gay vincent is cool ive finished the game in under 1 week
i got evry final fantasy game + demo for 13
Vincent is not a vampire.
D:
Saying it over and over again, doesn’t make it true.
Nor is he emo.
Depressed, sure! Gothicy, yes sirree! Beautiful! You know it baby!
But, Emo-Vampire? Not so much.
Vincent Valentine is not a vampire! My god you people are dense! Please, get your facts right. Though he slept in a coffin doesnt mean he’s a vampire. And he’s not. If you guys want proof, I’ll get it.
god I hate the “Vincent is a vampire” idea. Now, TEASING him, playfully CALLING him a vampire is ok (depending on the situation). But, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, VINCENT VALENTINE IS NOT A FREAKING VAMPIRE.
*Phew* I feel better now.
Have a nice day!
vincent has a phone..does anyone know what it is?
vincent has a phone does anyone know what it is?

Vincent Valentine is the best!!! And just to get it out there..Vincent isn’t a fricken vampire!! He’s half “demon” because of the Chaos (who is also awesome) “element” inside of him. I think he’s really cute and dudes..what the hell is with people sayin he’s emo!?!? Like holy crap people..the word is “gothic” if you can even put a word on a dude who is so fricken awesome..Beat the game in 3 days and it was the best game EVER!!!
If you don’t like Vincent or if you ever call him an emo-vampire I’ve got 2 words for you…screw off…
GO VINCENT VALENTINE!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey i know this may sound dumb, but is this game out in canada yet? Vincent Valentine, if you payed attention to the game, was a half-demon, you may think vampire because he is somewhat immortal and he slept in a coffin, but that gives no right whatsoever to call him vampire if you have propperly played FF VII
if anyone has any pics or wallpapers of Vincent can you please email some to me? I am a mass fan of Vincent,
timathieus@hotmail.com
and he is deffinately NOT Emo!
Vincent, like any other warrior would want to hide away if they lost a great friend and had experiments on them, i know i would, still that does not make them emo, just scarred on the inside
VICENT VALENTINE NO ES VAMPIRO, ES HIBRIDO (1/2 HUMANO, 1/2 BESTIA).
how could you im the most powerfull character in ffVII but where am i hmm!! Any way ill spill the beans i will be appearing again in 2008 for the ps3 and xbox360 final fantasyVII will rise again fight the power
I would like to know what type of cell phone Vincent Valentine has? If anyone knows please email me my answer at mahtan@bellsouth.net . Thank You.
WOOT!!! VINCENT ROCKS AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE HIS VAMPIRE FORM!! I BEAT THE GAME IN A WEEK!! ROCK ON ALL YOU EMO-VAMPIRE LOVERS!!! P.S. SORRY TO SAY THAT COUD REMAINS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER THOUGH.
Oops I meant to say Cloud* LOL
* As a note the Cell phones used in both Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus are a model of Sony-Ericsson phone.
Closest one I could find in the states was the camera version – Model: z500a *
I got mine before the movie and thought it a HUGE cheap cruddy flip phone.
…I saw the movie and now I want a black casing for it.
*Huge nerd*
Ok, first of all, Vincent is NOT a vampire.
And, second of all, Vincent is NOT EMO!!
Are you people stupid or something? Emo isnt a style, and it may be a music genre, but thats not it. Emo is the lable put on people who are greatly depressed and try and ease the pain by hurting themselfs (mainly cutting themselfs)
And the right word for Vincent would be GOTH does he cut himself? NO. therefore he is not emo. can he walk in teh sunlight?? Yes. therefore he is NOT a vampire.
Shhheeesh. I beat the game in less than a day 😛
Oh shit! Im gonna miss my bus! By peoples! WOOT GO VINCENT! I LUV YOU!
vincent is not a vampire …trust me on this… anybody who apposes gets to be dealt wif ME…. Get IT..??
Vincent isn’t a vampire. He’s a human being muther fuckers. He was expiremented on by muther fucking hojo and lucretia. he’s a host for chaos which is that vampire LOOKING monster, it gives him eternal life making his body invincible, and the only reason he woke up in a coffin IS because hojo is a freak.
HE”S NOT EMO, DON”T EVER CALL HIM THAT. He is a collective and serious person by nature, and the chick who he opened up to only ended up fucking the muther fucker who put chaos in him. So naturally he feels that he has to live forever with the “sin” of letting lucretia exspirement on her kid that she had with hojo. there OKAY. SPOILERS I KNOW SO WHAT.
Vincent is Cool !!
vincent is a SEXY BEAST whom I would lay in a coffin with anyday. I know he’s not a vampire but he is like a vampire, especially in chaos form. Vampire could be a way to compliment a sexy gothic person (if ur a gothic vampire obsessed person) so take it easy people. I used to call a hot guy in my class a vampire only because he looked like one.
Anyways, Vincent is so darn sexy I want him in all his forms OMG if he was a vamire I’d make him bite me.
^_^ ^u^ ^_* ^o^ o_o ^_^;
*oops, i meant if he was a vampire, LOL.
He has such a deep and intricate life story, I find him to be the most developed and sophisticated characters of FF.
He is unique in so many ways, and his very persona and essence is so seductive and dangerous at the same time. Romantic!!!
I’m glad he’s not real, because every girl would be so friggin jealous once I get him in his coffin!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OMG want to play the game so bad………………Vincents is my #1 in all video games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Chriistina for clairifiing that.

MSI laptops look pretty decent, but I’m not too adoring of the low res screens. I dont mind on a smaller format, but when you’re at 15″ or higher, I don’t think XGA and WXGA are the way to go.
My brother recommended I may like this web site. He was once entirely right. This put up actually made my day. You can not believe just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
