Wow, that just stuns me.

How can anyone escalate something from (basically) blocks and say "It was the games fault, they were fine up until the point that they started playing that game!"

FF7 is probably the second most famous FF game (next to FFX), or even the first. This is the first killings that I've heard that have come from this game.

To be honest...if I ever killed someone, I would probably call myself Sephiroth (he's such a badass that it's cool)...but I wouldn't really kill someone so...yea...

As sick and twisted as that was, at least it was in Germany so some ass won't start going after ff7 as a killing game here.

Actually, there have been rumors that the country is talking about banning the game...

You know, I never did like FF VII.

But that kind of assumption is just dumb. Just wait till Jack Thompson gets ahold of this.

Guys, we've figured it out. All German murderers play Final Fantasy VII! Makes perfect sense now. The country certainly does not have a history of violence way before the game came out. Certainly.

Note: No offense to anyone from Germany. I love your country, your language, your people and your beer.

This is definately not helping the dillusional people who think video games are to blame for murders and other crimes change their minds about violent video games.

It's really a shame that none of these "gamer killer" kids seem to go after their parents, who are really the ones that have completely failed at life.
