During this time Deepground is not lead by the Tsviets, but the cruel who torture their test subjects to create the perfect killing machine. None of the other Deepground soldiers can fight against him, for they have a chip in their brain which restricts their actions.The storyline follows the training of a (gender chosen by the player). During the soldier's training s/he meets up and fights with the other Tsviets while being led along by a mysterious SOLDIER named. Though the player character's memory has been erased, s/he remembers a younger sister who was kidnapped along with them into Deepground.

The Multiplayer Mode ends with his or her apparent death.ThemesIn comparison to the rest of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII that focuses on reality, life, and the environment, Dirge of Cerberus focuses on the future, death, and the uncertainty of existence.

In contrast with the original game's organic and natural elements, Dirge has a manpower-driven setting where magic is no longer used out of ecological concern.Themes of horror are explored through a dissonant and psychological angle. Likely to match other contemporaries' experiments in survival horror, such as Halo and Resident Evil 4, Dirge of Cerberus explores Final Fantasy VII's darker aspects through violence and warfare and inhumane experimentation that focuses on the 'survival of the fittest'.One of the themes is the end of the world followed the coming of a new era as dictated by the natural world. Is unveiled as a vessel to behold the Planet's entire Lifestream; by the Planet's own judgment, should its existence be at stake, Omega will summon the dark entity Chaos born from stagnant Lifestream that represents lost souls to wipe out the life on the Planet. The lost souls include the unrepentant, the evil, and others refusing to or unable to assimilate into the Lifestream, an existence akin to Hell and showcasing a karmic moral scale to cognizant life. Chaos is an evil figure representative of the end times, and Omega is the divine agent entrusted with the destruction and rebirth of the world, symbolic of major figures in Christian Eschatology. Deepground evokes the alleged infernal pagan tribes Gog and Magog who were magically sealed by the Macedonian Empire due to their savagery and cannibalism, but are said to be unleashed upon the days of Armageddon. Alternately, such tribes are believed to be Thracian war bands, such as the Dii, who are believed to be the progenitors of Gothic and Viking invaders.Fitting into Final Fantasy's themes of, Deepground represents the shadows of Shinra's influence and represents everything Shinra would do without the restraint of the law or worry over public acceptance.

While Shinra's surface rule represents rapacious capitalism, corporate globalization, uncontrolled industrialization, and the worst aspects of the Information Age, Deepground is reminiscent of Nazism, Stalinist and Maoist communist rule, imperialism, military-dominated governance, and the cold and calculated efficiency and ruthlessness of cyberpunk dystopian concepts.Vincent is opposed by the elite Deepground forces, the Tsviets. In contrast to Vincent's horror elements, the Tsviets have let go of their humanity, becoming monsters of their own accord. Azul represents depravity gained during his career within Shinra, which he joined to be experimented upon, and thus becomes a foil to Vincent's past. Shelke contrasts Vincent's innocence: guiltlessly killing while being instilled with the need for it at a young age, she exemplifies Vincent's acceptance of the weight of his reality and of how he also is a victim of circumstance yet does not let that drive his life. Rosso contrasts Vincent's free will and humanity: she is subservient to Weiss and a cold and ruthless killer. Nero is an evil take on Vincent: he is of the same darkness as Chaos, but his gains are artificial and crude, as well as uncontrollable and unstable, whereas Vincent is Chaos's true herald.Finally, Weiss is both a foil to Vincent and as a take on Sephiroth. Weiss is controlled by Hojo while his purity is touted to help make him the herald of Omega, an entity that will destroy the world.

In contrast, Vincent seeks to end the influence of Hojo's doings and has become the herald of Chaos to prevent the Planet's destruction.
