E3 06: Final Fantasy VII goes mobile again
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.
