Bagels writes "Square Enix is finally answering the prayers of thousands of FF7 fans with a side-story PS2 game called "Dirge of Cereberus: Final Fantasy VII." Not much is known yet - the game focuses on the character Vincent, it's set one year after the upcoming movie, Advent Children, and it's early in development as of now - but this is sure to be a hot topic amongst fans and critics of the series alike."

FFX-2 was chock full of new ideas! The trouble is that they all sucked.

(Note: somewhat obscure joke, based on the sequel to the seventh part of one popular western CRPG series...)
Scene: North Corel, eighteen months after the end of FF7...
Barrett: "Yo, homes."
Cloud: "So there are some news about these Cerberus things?"
Tifa: "All I found among Sephiroth's belongings was a map showing the way to a place called the Isle of Cerberus, and this letter."
Barrett: "Okay. Slap it down there!"
As Tifa opens the letter, it magically animates, casting a gigantic holographic projection of Jenova in air...
Barrett: "Jump back!"
Jenova projection: "Sephiroth! Know that my face is most goth-like! While it's unlikely that this ludicruous gang that you spoke of manages to ruin our plans, you must send a clone of you to the Isle of Cerberus, to learn the secret of Acne Medication! Soon I and my horde of puppets will destroy the planet!"
Cloud: "We must send Vincent to the Isle of Cerberus..."
Vincent: "Hm? Why me?"
The rest of the characters unceremoniously tie Vincent to the back of a gold chocobo, which panics and runs off across the ocean. Then, at one point, it disappears mysteriously with a "Zot!" effect.

OK. You're a purist. And God hates fanboy purists, so I'd keep one eye on passing storm clouds.
I've enjoyed FF from #1 all the way through FFX-2. They're just enjoyable diversions, folks. There's nothing to be "purist" about. FFX-2 was fluffy and fun. Cracking a smile during an RPG will not bring about the Apocalypse.
bastardization of my favorite stories when there's a continuation made after the story has ended. it's as if there was a braveheart 2 being made.
No, it's not even on the same continent as the city that contains the ballpark. This comment is particularly ironic considering how Braveheart 1 was a bastardization of actual history.
Square can do what they want with their properties. I can play them or not. If they produce a sequel I don't like, well, that's life. There's no point in whining like a sissy over it.

Yes. It would be hard to make a sequel as good as FFX2, so why bother trying?

A typical example of one such post; was to post something like "Who plays ANY game wearing pants?
This, rather shamefull, example was typical before the new geek order.
