Default  Square Enix ends online service for Dirge of Cerberus

Taken from front page: http://www.ffrepublic.com/news/final...of-Cerberus-74

German gaming site Gamefront is reporting that Square Enix has announced that the Japanese online service for multi-player mode in the Gun Action-RPG, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, will be terminated on September 29, 2006. Aftter that date, online multi-player battlers will no longer be possible.

A more detailed article reguarding this news has been posted on the PlayOnline website, the official website of Square Enix's online games. A cursory translation seems to indicate that while the multi-player mode is being disabled, the game may still have some online elements. If and when a more accurate translation becomes available, we'll let you know.

This doesn't bother me really, mainly because I wouldn't be able to use the online feature and because I didn't there was going to be one. Ah well I guess it would have been a nice feature for those that could use it.

Dirge of Cerberus Japan only? Please tell me that was a lie, a joke or a lack of knowledge.

No, no... Dirge of Cerberus will be coming to North America on August 22nd. But the online part of the game was Japan-only. They removed it for the overseas release, and now they're dumping at least some of the Japanese online stuff, too.
