Bad idea.

Point of this post? Someone (or rather, someones, pending further discussion) is probably going to get a warning from this. A good idea would be to avoid this thread in the meantime. A bad idea would be disobeying this mandate and posting in this thread.

The best idea would be to notify a moderator or attempt to diffuse a situation via PM or other means of communication (out of the public arena), unlike what we have witnessed above. The worst idea would be participating in such a manner in the future, just as we've witnessed above.

---
So, let us summarize:

• This thread is locked
  
• Someone(s) is (are) going to get a warning
  
• Do--Not--Do--This in the future

I really don't know how else to say it...

Thread re-opened on the grounds that:
The fighting stops, and no one dicusses the warnings issued because of this thread. Please continue with on topic posts.

Alright.... so there isnt goin to be a sequal for the original ff7 yet? This is just some game about vincent. not liking the idea, but it will have t do while i wait for a real sequal to ff7

Huh Didn't see this earlier...

Either way ::is happy the game will be made::


Edit:
I am a little disappointed that Vincent will be the main character. I mean, a lot of people didn't even realize that he was in FF7 unless they read a walkthrough, article, saw his action figure, or just stumbled upon the side-mission to get him. I was more of a Yuffie fan myself... I love sneaks.

That being said, it should be at least interesting... I had my doubts about X-2, but I played it all the way through and was pleasantly proven wrong. Hopefully this will be the same.

1: Yes! There really are Yuffie fans! I'm not the only one!!!

2: I have to concur, WHY Vincent? Howcome one of the "regular" characters wasn't chose for the sequel? (Like Yuffie)

3: Still, no Aeris return... *grr*

From reading the previews and such, Dirge of Cerberus looks like a good game. The only thing is that I don't know who Vincent is. From reading the thread, it looks like he was one of those characters where you had to go do a side-quest from FF7 and get him there. I don't see him in the game.

Thats kinda cool though that Vincent is the main character. Besides the Turks, Vincent was the only FF7 Character that I actually liked. Pretty cool too the he uses guns to battle, always like that in RPGs for some reason.

Trisa, here's how to get him:

spoiler (highlight to read):

Go to the Shin-Ra mansion in Nibelheim. Go up the stairs and head left to the next screen. Enter the top room (the one with the safe) and approach the safe. Enter in this combination: Right 36 Left 10 Right to 59 Right to 97 You have to do this rather quick. I think there's a 30 sec. time limit. In addition, you might want to prepare for a rather difficult boss fight. Once defeated, you get the key to the basement door. Go down to the basement. Head toward the library's entrance, but instead of entering the library at the last screen (the library has a great cut-scene if you return here in Disc 3, btw), walk to the top of the screen. You'll notice a door and what appears to be a tomb behind it. Approach the door and you'll be able to enter thanks to the key. Examine the coffin at the top of the room and Vincent will jump out. Talk to the coffin again and he'll make a comment. Leave the tomb, head to the library, leave the library and begin heading back to the basement stairwell. Vincent will stop you and join your party. You have to have Vincent in your party if you want to get his ultimate weapon. Once you get the submarine, search for the underwater cave that leads to an "oasis" surrounded by mountains. Get out of the sub and enter the cave behind the waterfall for a cut scene. Come back after you've played the game for a bit and you'll get Vincent's ultimate weapon. As for his Level 4 limit attack, I don't remember.

Yeah... The name of the boss is Lost Number, I think...

Im a little skeptical about this game, mainly because I loved FFVII so much. However, the fact that Vincent is the main character is cool, in my opinion. I enjoyed his character a lot and thought he brought a broodish element to the traditional "happy" main group. Plus, his group the Turks, and their side story, Id love to know more about. Like Raven said earlier, I really enjoyed the Turks and Vincent, Ill definitely have to concur.

Thanks for the walkthough on how to get him. I'll have to try it out sometime.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like the FF series, including 6 and 7, but it seems like that SE are slowly starting to lose their touch. Other than that, this game looks cool, and it's also a good thing that FF7's story is getting bigger and bigger.

Not a prob!

Yeah, Square-Enix is rehashing a loooooot of ideas these days, but I don't know about being completely out. FF might be sliding down a bit, but Kingdom Hearts has at least 2 or 3 more good stories in it, so I'm sure that Square-Enix will be alright for a while at least.

::can't wait for "Chain of Memories" and "KH2"::

Ooooooh ! that's what the Gun was for in Final Fantasy 7 !
I was wondering what the hell was that gun used for.

I heard from a good friend of mine who used to hold a job at Square Enix that Dirge of Cerberus is expected to come to the US November of 2005. It's just speculation as of now, but I'd expect to see it around that time, too.

If I recall correctly, Vincent's Level 4 Limit Break could be obtained under the following circumstances:

spoiler (highlight to read):

First, you must visit the Oasis with Vincent (as indicated above) to receive his Ultimate Weapon, the Death Penalty (I think that's what its name was; I can't remember). For his level 4 Limit Break, Chaos, simply return to the Oasis during Disc 3 (with Vincent in your party, of course)...I'm almost 95% sure that's how you obtain it. Remember, you must have already received Vincent's Ultimate Weapon. Personally, I think it's one of the easier Level 4 Limits to obtain...certainly a lot easier than Great Gospel, Aeris' Level 4 Limit Break...
