I also updated my Dirge of Cerberus novelization! Now the Deepground sections aren't so disjointed!
#FinalFantasy #FF7 #VincentValentine #Deepground
Dirge of Cerberus to be added to Ever Crisis in 2026! Let's go!

No other part of DCFF7 ever included a snowy landscape so its exclusion from the single player is a bit of a shame.
A box texture on Snowy Mountain reads:
"DANGER
Wepons of Mass
Destruction"
#dirgeofcerberus #dcff7 #dcffvii #deepground #ダージュオブケルベロス #multiplayer
Snowy Mountain has two opposing forts separated by a tall hill. Climbing over the tallest peak must have been dangerous during team matches.
Here are screenshots from the south side, with- and without mist.

"Snowy Mountain" remained exclusive to the online multiplayer of DCFF7. Thankfully, the map exists on disc for the NA- and PAL versions.
The north side, at the gorge, exhibits very light snowfall.

Timestamp "&t=2076s" if you want to jump straight into the Dirgin' goodness.

The Deepground NPC "Iruka" is an unhinged person who uses Mako Powder to reanimate dead soldiers. He refers to these zombies as "servants". The player would escape from these undead obstacles in the mission "Miraculous Servant".

The DG Elite emerge from these four upper gates. Each gate has the kanji 溌 [lively/vigorous/sprightly/animated/vivid] written on it. The soldiers prove their vitality by being impervious to all forms of knockback, which is normally an important strategy against the DG Elite. #deepground #dcff7
In the depths of Mako Reactor 0 is one of the game's most dangerous rooms. The DG Elite are relentless! Movement on the pipes and central platform is precarious.
But the walls read 安全第一 [SAFETY FIRST] so everything is fine, actually.

The Quickturn accessory allows the player to rotate 180 degrees by pressing L3 while aiming. This accessory was available in the online multiplayer. An unused version of it exists in the "Single Player" item pool as well.

In the original JP version this particular wall in Ch10 will instantly teleport you to the adjoining passage.
On emulator a rounding error changes the glitch so you can't enter the passage at all! This blocks your path to the end.

Shelke: With the help of the HJ Virus, I am able to hack into Patricia and bypass security. Then all that's needed is to pick a suitable subject before it's implanted with the chip.
The player character wakes up briefly at the start of the multiplayer's story. Shelke walks by and has either selected- or is about to select your character for the Tsviets' uprising against the Restrictors.
Shelke interacting with Patricia through both SND (Synaptic Net Dive) and a normal computer terminal.
"Patricia" is the computer that oversees all of Deepground. Shelke bypasses this security through the "HJ Virus" and enacts sneaky rebellion. The meaning of "HJ" is never revealed, but "HiJack" is a reasonable guess.

The Restrictors can halt the movement of any DG soldier due to the control chip in the subordinate's brain stem. However, even the Restrictor's combat ability is enough to subdue a Tsviet like Rosso the Crimson.

The Player Character's limit break is interrupted and Shelke redirects it for her own limit break attack. 9 versions of Shelke attack the target all at once.
Shelke Champion command in World of Final Fantasy
In Scene 9 of the online mode Shelke uses "Countertek" to nullify the Player Character's limit break. She then redirects the cancelled move, executing her own LB on the player character. In cameos we see this tech again.

The Aerial Mine elevators in Shinra HQ have a mid-section that is normally out of reach. The doors on that floor actually have valid open/close prompts and exploring these reveal the illusion of a larger, hidden area.

Nero claims there are no teams in Deepground. But in the online multiplayer there were player-created teams called "Units". Based on a set of combined templates, Units also chose their own logo.

Walkmeshes for most of Chapter 9, "An Empire in Ruins", where Vincent enters Shinra HQ and descends to Deepground. The giant elevator where you battle Azul is loaded in a different zone.
#dirgeofcerberus #dcff7 #dcffvii #deepground
Weiss's throne room and Nero's oblivion are loaded in the same zone but far apart from each other.
#dirgeofcerberus #deepground #weiss #weisstheimmaculate #nero #nerothesable #dcff7 #dcffvii
Continuing work on my DCFF7 walkmesh viewer. Now I can load multiple files into the same Open3D window.
Confirmed that some special rooms in the Deepground Lobby load a bit higher up. Visiting the "character select" room in-game would be cool.

FINISHED!!!
I compiled everything that I could find about the defunct Online Multiplayer of Dirge of Cerberus into three chapters of my unofficial Dirge novelization!
The chapters are posted!

From 25:35 -> 28:01 in their latest episode you can hear this podcast talk about Dirge of Cerberus. It is described as "The most Nomura game that's NOT directed by Tetsuya Nomura."
