Sequel? Can’t be…Og doesn’t love me that much. A disc with both Japanese and American releases? Something else altogether? While we’re on the topic of FFVII, what ever became of the “Advent Children” movie for which trailers were circulated a year or two ago?

Well, it seems that the term “compilation” refers to three seperate titles.

The first, Before Crisis, is a Japan-only cell phone game.  
The second, Advent Children, is a movie to be released on DVD and probably UMD (for PSP).  
The third, Dirge of Cerberus, is an action title starring Vincent Valentine. It’ll be for PS2.  
Bonus question: What other title besides FFVII did Vincent appear in? Hint: It was on the PS1.

And kushiel is right! Ehrgeiz also featured Cloud, Sephiroth, Yuffie, Tifa, and a cast of original characters.
