final fantasy VII: dirge of cerberus

Postby jon_jinn » Mon Nov 13, 2006 3:26 pm

i'm not sure if there's a thread for this game already. i searched for already existing topics and found none relating to this game so i've decided to make a thread for it. forgive me if there's already a thread.
anyways, my friend lended me this game and i just started playing it. it's pretty fun but different from most final fantasy games that i'm used to. i'm already sorta stuck in the game... :sweat:

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

I just finished it a while ago. I liked it, although there were some parts where it seemed like the story sequences went on for too long (and this coming from a huge fan of Xenosaga, lol) I love that the two theme songs are sung by Gact. It was so cool to go blasting through the final dungeon with "Longing" playing in the background.

Pretty decent shooter. Took me a week to beat it and I don't play video games that much. It was a breath of fresh air since my interest in RPGs has dimmed.

That's what I'm doing. Why pay 54+ bucks NOW when it'll be like, 30 or so later on? Course there won't be a pretty shimmery looking packaging, but meh^^ Of course, I still have several games I have to play and beat through before I can buy and start on anything else new :/

I actually took some of my old games to EB Games/Gamestop and got my DoC for $27 brand new.So if you got some games to get rid of it could help you cut the price. ^^
I really loved the character and it was good to see what happened to him in he past. The game play was hard to adjust to but it made me a better shooter when I played Halo 2 with my brother. ^^ I think that is still pretty good coming from a company that specializes in mult character RP as apposed to one on one shoot game. Oh and I also liked the Gackt songs a lot. I have yet to view the ending sequence as of yet, but I've already seen it's Japanese version, darn my college work keeping me from playing! ><
God Bless,
Souba

i rented it for free from blockbuster since i get a coupon for a free game every month. its a sweet game. my dad was gonna buy me final fantasy 1 for NES a long time ago when he worked at walmart electronics but he never did. i really wanted it but i dont know why he didnt buy it. anyways, ever since ive heard people talk about the final fantasy saga and all this and that but i never really was all that interested until now. i was kind of reluctant to rent it since i wanted a racing game but then i said what the heck i think my lil bro will like this and of course he did especially after watching advent children. now if there was some way of getting a hold of final fantasy 1 and an NES system...
