Q: What does "Dirge of Cerberus" mean?

A: Nomura has confirmed that the gun that Vincent wields is indeed called Cerberus. This is probably due to the the fact that the gun itself has three barrels, symbolizing the Three Headed Dog that guards the entrance to Hades. Of special notice, an image has been released of Vincent standing a top a three headed being's skeleton.

Also, because of the Dirge of Cerberus merchandise, we finally have a clear shot of the medallion hanging from Vincent's gun. It also shares a connection with Cerberus, seeing as it's in the shape of a three headed dog with demonic wings.

Dirge, is another name for a funeral hymn. Kind of like a Requiem. We assume that they are talking about the sound that Vincent's gun makes when fired, since it's been stated that "The Dirge of Cerberus will sound..."

Q: Where can I buy the Dirge of Cerberus merchandise that I see on the site?

A: The only place that we know of where you can purchase these from are through Square-Enix's Japanese website. However, the bad news is that you must have a Japanese shipping address in order to buy from their online store.

You may like to try your luck on eBay or an online store which deals in Japanese imported merchandise.
