Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode puts players in role of Vincent Valentine for epilogue of seminal PS role-playing game.

LOS ANGELES--Square Enix has announced a spin-off to a spin-off to its landmark 1997 PlayStation role-playing game Final Fantasy VII. While the publisher is currently showing Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 2 on the floor of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the company today said it is also preparing Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode: -Final Fantasy VII- (the hyphens are part of the official name) for mobile phones.

Like its PS2 counterpart, Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode will once again put players in the role of original Final Fantasy VII cast member Vincent Valentine and pit him against the Deepground Soldiers. The game takes place three years after the events of the original FFVII and will combine action and exploration as Vincent takes on his foes with the help of Materia and Limit Breaks. There's also a head-to-head multiplayer mode.

Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode: -Final Fantasy VII- is slated for release this summer.

    I don't think this game will play well on my phone even though its a good phone. Phone games just arn't up to power. Also you can't complain when the price of a phone game is like what $7 canadian for me.

    Sorry but games on cell phones suck. I tried multiple times and it's just not fun at all. They need to put stuff like this on the GBA, PSP, or DS.

    well the ps2 title was sick and played awsome at e3. i liked the game play it was something new. it was like a shoter rpg. I only have to say that if they keep this up they will kill FF7.

    DoC killed FFVII for me. That game truly made a mockery of everything. Only a true graphics whore would have anything good to say about that cursed game, but SE doesn't seem to want to listen... I'm alright with spin offs... but these are coming 10 years after the fact >.o Can't these game teams work on new stuff instead? Or is their idea factory that dead?

    I agree with viquist. I didn't have the ps, and i had to hear all my friends how wonderful the game was. When i finally got the ps2 i couldn't get it. Just remake it.

    Not all of us were fortunant enough in the past to have a PS and FFVII - we only saw our friends play it and never had it ourselves... and now with the movie out all the old returned ones at EB, Gamespot, and Babbages have been bought again. And for those who did buy it and play it and trade it can't buy it now because there aren't any to buy. So, to the guy who said we're all just grapfix whores and that if he wanted to play the game he'd play the original, I say 2 things: 1) if you still have the game from back then or if you were lucky enough to rebuy it recently, good for you - not all of us have it now. 2) We want the remake for the experience of playing what has been considered one of the best FF Storylines, if not THE BEST!!!, again or even for the first time - and having it souped up to today's standards is an extra added bonus we're wanting due to the trailer they teased us with

    I mean seriously, look at how much buzz the FF7 tech demo got last year when people thought it was a remake. If you add up all the buzz from all the other sleeper spinoffs it still wouldnt equal half as much attention as that demo got. How much more proof do they need that a FF7 remake would sell huge?

    Get a clue Square. Please?

    God.

    Remake FF7 and be done with it. LISTEN TO THE FANS!!!!!! We dont want this stupid crap, all of the money spent on these retarded games could have gone to a guranteed hit like a FF7 remake.
