Everyone Hates Dirge of Cerberus. I Still Love It

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is 20 years old, and I’m still here defending it. Not as a joke, but as the only FF7 game that let Vincent Valentine be the center of the room. In this video essay, I break down why Dirge clicked for me, why critics destroyed it, what Deepground and the Tsviets add to the FF7 universe, and why Vincent’s “moment” still feels unfinished in the Remake trilogy. 00:00 - The Dirge Defense 04:10 - Vincent Finally Gets His Game 09:47 - Deepground and the Tsviets 16:51 - Why Dirge Got Destroyed 24:28 - 20 Years Later: Why Dirge Matters Now _________________________________________________________________ Twitter:   / arcadenautt   Join Our Discord Channel:   / discord   YouTube Join:    / @arcadenaut   Patreon:   / arcadenaut   Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/arcadenaut #dirgeofcerberus #finalfantasyvii #vincentvalentine #ff7 #videoessay
