One such spin off was Dirge of Cerberus on the PS2. What do you make of Square Enix's choice to give a lead roll to an optional character in this sequel game?FamousSeumas - Do you think Square Enix rely too much on FF7? We have multiple games, like Before Crisis, Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus; there's Advent Children and Last Order. And let's not forget all cameos in Kingdom Hearts, Cloud appearing in multiple fighting games, the unlockable (and sometimes pre-orders bonus) FF7 costumes and weapons in some other FF games. And now the remake. How long do you think Square can rely on FF7 before people are sick of it?Party Up!hoby1k @hoby1k - FFVII classic (I have not played remake) is one of my least favorite main series Final Fantasy games.
