## Resource

This week on Retro Reloaded , we dove headfirst into one of the most divisive entries in the Final Fantasy VII Compilation: Dirge of Cerberus – Final Fantasy VII . We were joined by Wobeeyert as our guest speaker, who helped break down Vincent Valentine’s solo outing, its place in the FFVII timeline, and why this game still sparks debate all these years later. From third-person shooter mechanics to deep Chaos and Omega lore, this episode takes a thoughtful look at what Dirge tried to accomplish — and whether it succeeded. A huge shoutout as well to Damienb , who provided the intro voice acting for this episode and helped set the tone right from the start. 🎙️ As always, thank you to our Patreon heroes for supporting the show and making episodes like this possible.
