Talk:Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

message: What's with all the random talking in the "G" section?
It says that an object could be used to destroy the 6th weapon, Omega. But there were only four: [diamond] weapon, Ultima weapon, ruby weapon, and emerald weapon.
*No, there is also another weapon that most people forget, you don't fight him in the game, he is called Sapphire Weapon. Consult this article and you'll see the Sapphire Weapon. – DarkEvil 02:20, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
* Omega is being labeled as either a artifical Weapon created by the DGS or one that was not awaken and unearthed by the DGS. Either way, Omega was refered in a recent trailer..."Vincent: The Weapon born of tainted life.", "Unknown Woman: "Only that Chaos, Omega, and..."
Omega Weapon DOES indeed exist. It was proved by the people that have already finished the game. Look here.Regulus Tera 15:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: To maybe balance the article maybe it should site the Dengeki score, which wasn't as harsh as the Famitsu one.
The score was this, as cited by this website which is accurate (you can search for other sites which collaborate this score) http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=6016
80 / 85 / 75 / 75 
which is 315 out of 400. And on the 40 point scale would be 32 out of 40. That's a pretty good score. Im thinking this could be added to show maybe the other side of the reception of Dirge of Cerberus in Japan. Obviously not everyone recieved it well since shooting games aren't popular in Japan, but it'd be interesting and fair to show that Dirge of Cerberus did get a good score from Dengeki. 198.213.57.8 19:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article currently refers to Weiß's weapons as "gunblade katanas." This is wrong in that while his weapons are a combination of guns and swords, the only weapons in Final Fantasy officially referred to as "gunblades" are those in Final Fantasy VIII, which don't actually shoot bullets. It's misleading and unnecessary too, since this a term being applied by fans and not by SE. This same sort of thing went on about Yazoo and Loz's Velvet Nightmare weapons in Advent Children, which are just guns.
I'm going to change the description to "katana-rifle hybrids." It's worth mentioning that they're referred to as "gunblades," maybe, but they should not be identified as gunblades. Ryu Kaze 22:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Should we really be calling him Weiß?  It's Vice according to this scan.
:It's German for white, so it's 'Weiß'. All of Zvet save Shelke are named after colours. 'Vice' isn't a colour. --86.144.234.116 10:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but Square-Enix's projects have been keeping consistent in terms of character names between Japanese and English releases as of late.  And there's something called a pun, you know? "Weiß" and "Vice" are pronounced exactly the same. urutapu 13:34, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not all of them. For Kingdom Hearts II, Saix's name was changed to "Saïx" for the English version. It looks minor, but it did change the pronounciation of his name dramatically. And Shelke is named after a color, isn't she? It's Indian for orange or something. Geg 16:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, in Japanese, "i" and "ï" might as well be exactly the same. Besides, as there's no English release, or for that matter, any English official media out, we should be running on the official Japanese names. urutapu 04:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Although there seems to be official translations for all the other members, Shelke apparently does have a member title like the rest...do we know of any translations for it? The original Japanese is 無式のシェルク Muki no Sheruku, which means "Shelke the Styleless" or "Shelke the Formless," as far as I can tell.—ウルタプ 00:05, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: She's introduced as Shelke the Transparent in the English game, methinks. 154.20.135.89 02:49, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The original Japanese form is actually 無色のシェルク, "Mushoku no Sheruko", which means "Shelke the Colorless". This brings up another point, though. I haven't played the English version yet, but I know that some of the bosses had there names changed. For example, "Arachnero" is known as ネロ・ラフレア, "Nero Rafurea", which the best translation I've managed to come up for is Raw Flayer. WtW-Suzaku 10:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

* Many assumed that it would be an Action/Adventure game along the lines...
* However, it is held by many that Dirge of Cerberus is an accomplishment due to the storyline's fleshing..
* Though many do not consider it a stand-alone game...
* There were many questions about Weiss left unanswered at the end of the game...

message: Would it be safe to say by the end of the game that the airship is destroyed? The capsule that Shula was in is outside and so is Cid but its never expressely said. Am I missing something or is it gone at the end? J-Axe
In the game, it mentions that they lost contact with the ship and they couldn't verify his location. 
So i believe its safe to assume that his ship got destroyed  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haseo445 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I think this review is definately worth mention, given it was found in USA Today which is a pretty well known, and reputable newspaper. The review is probably one of the best I've seen in fairness and would help balance the negative criticism that sadly outweighs its possitives in the article. Anyone up to doing it? If not, I'll give it a shot.198.213.57.8 16:15, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that the scene selection on this game has titles that seem to be references to various aspects of pop culture - such as 'Solid Cait' (referring to Solid Snake) and 'Number Five Is Alive!', a reference to Short Circuit, an '80s movie.  Is it appropriate to add them in here, as it is interesting info.--Froglet42 01:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: From the article, "Vincent's running speed is 1.2 times faster". Surely he runs at at 120% and not 220%. As I have not played the game, I'll let somebody who can confirm this make the correction. -- Ianiceboy 02:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Monolith Soft was just a contractor that did background graphics for this game and didn't contribute to primary develpoment.
