New Dorimaga DC Scans Two new scans from Dorimaga have surface, featuring Lucrecia and Vincent, in their past forms. Most notable, however, is that Lucrecia is given a last name. Yes. Her full name is Lucrecia Crescent. Credits to poster #616 at kh2ch. » View Scan 1, Scan 2

Lucrecia's profile mentions Jenova Project, and Vincent's mention's that he's an agent of the Turks.

Looks like I've still got work to do here. Yuffie: Ho-hold on! Vincent... This looks bad. Get back here! [Redemption] Vincent: Hm, I guess there's no way around it. Let's save the world.

Not really.


I played it all night and day Saturday/Sunday (no memory card -_-;) and even though I'm not fond of shooting games, I really enjoyed it. The story was very well done, and I have to admit, re-visiting various FF VII locations once more was something I enjoyed tremendously.
