Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus is an action role-playing third-person shooter game released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2. The game is set in the Final Fantasy VII universe and follows the character Vincent Valentine. The story takes place during and after the events of Final Fantasy VII, where Vincent, along with Yuffie Kisaragi, must evade the destruction of Midgar and later confront the secret organization Deepground, who seek to use the powerful Protomateria to bring forth the Omega Weapon. The gameplay features real-time battles with the option to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives, similar to Resident Evil 4. Vincent can customize his weapons extensively, including equipping different gun frames, barrels, and accessories like sniper scopes and materia for magic shots. The game also includes Limit Break transformations and a variety of post-game missions that add to its replay value. Despite receiving mixed reviews, with some critics noting the simplicity of the combat and issues with camera control, the game was praised for its unique blend of RPG elements and shooter mechanics. The North American version addressed several of the control issues present in the original release. While it may not be as complex as other Final Fantasy titles, Dirge of Cerberus provides valuable background on Vincent's character and offers an entertaining, if not deep, combat experience. The game remains a notable entry in the Final Fantasy VII series, appealing to fans looking for more insight into the universe and its characters. In terms of popularity, Dirge of Cerberus has a dedicated fan base within the Final Fantasy community, though it is not as widely recognized as some other titles in the series. It holds historical significance as one of the first attempts by Square Enix to merge RPG and shooter genres, making it an interesting piece of gaming history.
