Square are bound to make the most of the FFVII franchise, because FFVII has been the most popular FF game. I enjoyed the original game, I enjoyed Advent Children, I've enjoyed the DoC sequels, and I've yet to play CC and BC. It's a clever move for Square, expanding outside the typical 'RPG'. DoC was more of a Devil May Cry shoot-'em up game, Advent Children was a movie, the original was just a regular RPG, but a very good one at that.


The sequels and prequels are cool because they answer loads of the unanswered questions for the original. DoC goes more into Vincent's past. CC tells you more about Zack, who's story had massive gaps in it in the original game, and BC delves into how the Turks came into the whole thing. And they may go to making even more sequels/prequels to answer the new questions brought up in those games. I'll probably keep buying and playing these games for the sake of it.

Everyone complains about them, yet the majority still go and buy their games. If you think this is ruining FFVII, then just leave them to it. It mustn't be ruining the story if people keep buying and playing them.

It is a bit overkill now isn't it?

It's making my blood boil because I wanted a good RPG sequel or a remake, they just aren't gonna give it to us are they?

The only ones that I would perfer getting just to get the complete story is

FFVII Original Game
Advent Children
Dirge of Cerberus
Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode (maybe...)
Crisis Core

Thats all they

Thats all they should have made and ended here. Then started a movie to FFI or something...Or a Chrono Trigger 2 =D with Crono, and Lucca and people in it...

Me too! I've read them and TMWTTP is good. Makes a bit more sense of Aeriths presence at the end of VII and how the planet was saved, without actually raping VII's original story. The two parts of OTWTAS were not as good but worth reading to get an introduction to AC and to find out what happened to the team after the events of the original game.

As for the rest of the compilation;

BC would have been good as a GBA or DS game, why stick it on a Mobile system majority of the world can't fucking get hold off! What I know of it, it doesn't really effect the original story much, more of a game full of intesting references and cameos. Though the appearence of Jade WEAPON should be replaced by something else for general storyline purposes.

CC looks as if it will be a good game. But I can't help feel it will mess up more of the story. We don't need it, but it should be god.

We didn't need AC at all. We didn't need a sequal, especially in film form. It ruines a lot of VII (certain people magicly turning up alive when they got blasted to smithereens...) and the story of it isn't really necassary. Looks good and cool to watch but thats it.

DoC is another rip off. We didn't really need to know more about Vincent at all, it was all already there. The only real new things were developments that were unecassary. And it ruined Chaos. I always thought Chaos as a nice referance to FFI's final boss, Vincent turning into Chaos just like Garland before him...but now its something completly diffrent and canon! Plus why is the Train Graveyard of Sector 7 still intact....IT GOT CRUSHED!!! The only thing intriging in this game is if you get the G Files, to help set up for CC. and that wouldn't even be good if none of this compilation shizzle was happening. And as for DoS:LM, see BC.

Whats next, Caith Sith's Casino Fantasy!
