''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]: [[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is a sequel and spinoff of the [[Running Gag|whiplash-inducingly popular]] ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', and was released for the Sony [[Play Station 2]].

Although nearly all of the ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' characters make some appearance, focus is off the main characters and onto ones who didn't get much screentime in the original. It includes a [[Retcon]] of a scene late in the game which assumed that Vincent and [[Ninja|Yuffie]], who were optional [[Secret Character |

''DOC'' takes place one year after ''[[Final Fantasy VII Advent Children|Advent Children]]'' and infamously creates a tie-in with ''[[Crisis Core]]'', released afterwards but canonically taking place before the original game. Said tie-in involves J-Pop star [[Gackt]] in a rare (for video games) live-action cameo. |

* [[No Export for You]]: Want to make sense of the situation with Weiss? Or Deepground's origins and how they [[Turned Against Their Masters]]? Too bad, because all that stuff was only included in a Japan-only online mode where players would control a Deepground/WRO soldier in team-based battles. This was replaced with additional missions in the English version, without any of the online mode's storyline included. |
