I want a new game with Vincent Valentine as the main character. Dirge of Cerberus was fun, but I want more. He deserves more spotlight imo!

[@outlawprinz]

I hear Square Enix saying Sorry we cant do another Vincent game, because he wont go out of his coffin

@@outlawprinz I’m so fucking late to this but bro they literally said that 💀

[@TotalJophes]

I'm a simple man. I see Vincent, I freak the holy hell out and click desperately.

[@Aarzu]

The bit about Vincent transformations being uncontrollable and only happening at emotional points (particularly when he's angry) explains why his limit breaks are uncontrollable.

[@SteelAngelVikki]

I didn't even realise that the Ribbons worn in AC were in memory of Aerith! I always assumed they were the accessory "Ribbon" to prevent status ailments. Oh wow, I feel silly now!

[@Phoenix87401]

Same here. Unfortunately, my ps2 no longer works, so I can't play it anymore.

[@DarkslayerNinja]

I do also enjoy Dire of Cerberus FF7 cause of storyline and nearly of military mixed with devil may cry gameplay.

[@Monius13]

I'm surprised they didn't do more with it. For the creators first third person shooter it was actually pretty well made. Gameplay was fun and sorry was good. Let's beg Square Enix for another! :)

[@OwtDaftUK]

Even though it wasn't the first RPG/Shooter, it still felt super fresh to me too.

The last tidbit about his story being cut from FF7 kinda gets me excited at what kind of story they have in store for us in the remake, mmm interesting.

[@Monius13]

C Ziggy it's the perfect opportunity to give him and some of the others more screen time. Yuffie and Vincent are two of my favorite characters in the whole series. Would love to see more of them!

[@ashleyanderson2669]

So glad they didn't cut him from the game. Loved Vincent Valentine.

[@AmyFlannigan27]

I'm happy with he game we got. I loved it. And Vincent Valentine is my all time favourite FF character

[@legatomodi3522]

Im just starting the vid so i dont know if you pointed this out yet because i havent seen anyone say this before. Im American so this may be more like "no shit" redundant to you european folk, but Vincent Valentine's limit breaks name "Warp Spasm" where he transforms into monster as a term originated in english as a way to explain a transformation a celtic mythology Ulster cycle hero Cu'chulainn from The Tain, a legend that chronicles the cattle raid on cooley by Queen Medb. Whenever Cu'chulainn would change or "warp spasm" he'd take on a monsterous form with an uncontrollable anger. He'd change a sickly purple bleeding color and his limbs would stretch and bend unnaturally and most grotesque of all one eye became huge. FF almost always names things after pre existing myths and legend like gilgamesh, odin, shiva; they all have their names originating in old lore. Celtic mythology is more obscure and hard to pick out sometimes. Cuchulainn's power is referenced this way i believe. Also, if you were to see the Gae Bolg, which is used sometimes by Odin, that was Cuchulainn's magical spear he always dreaded to use. He was the only man who could wield or launch it, but if it landed itd kill whoever it hits gruesomely. the stories say upon entering a body the spear would not only drive itself as far in as possible, but the spearhead would seperate into hundreds of barbs. The only way to get the spear back was to cut the body of its victim meticulously. Just thought id toss in that bit. We all know about the other holy weapons like excalibur and masamune and longinus and where they come from, but i found alot of people at least around here has no idea about celtic myth.

[@NolifeSosun]

Advent Children is my favorite movie and having seen it multiple times I never noticed the ribbon on his opposite arm. That's awesome!

[@tjsnyder9806]

This video is great. Lots of info about Vincent! Very juicy stuff that is definitely not commonly known. Great video! I'd love to see him join FF Dissidia NT now and KH3 would be cool too!

[@FinalFantasyUnion]

Thanks TJ! Glad you enjoyed it! I can definitely see him being added into Dissidia NT at some point, but KH3 may be slightly more wishful xD ~Darryl

[@battletoads22]

The most important thing about Vincent now is how will he be handled in the Remake, especially with regard to his limit break?

[@goten339]

Better be able to go on a date at the Gold Saucer with him posing dramatically staring out the window with one leg up whilst Cloud awkwardly sits there

[@greenkingdomhk]

By this theory, Vincent is the way stronger than Clould, and Vincent would have been able to defeat Sephiroth all by himself if Cloud is absent due to Geostigma. And in this way Advent Children would be one of the stories in Dirge of Cerberus (laugh)

[@lindthechaoticheretic8708]

If they put Vincent in Dissidia NT then I'll buy it.

[@cocoliscious7841]

Can't wait to see him in the Remake

[@icessoup]

I didnt know about the ribbons and that he and Yuffie were almost cut out, the other stuff was pretty commonly known but nice to hear decent thoughts about Vincent story. By far one of the coolest chars in FF history.

[@XofHope]

So he was almost FF VII's Mulder? When I thought I couldn't love him more!

[@DarkAxon23]

2:26 little did we realize that final fantasy characters would be completely absent in kh3

[@lanettediaz8883]

Vincent is my favorite FF character! Thank you.

[@coatguy2990]

Dirge of Cerberus had the most interesting part of the FF7 universe to me. Deepground, the unhinged equivalent to soldier, the Tsviets, even worse than that with monsters like Azul, Nero and Weiss. And the Battle System was a very nice change to „normal“ final fantasy games. And of course the story was oozing edge. 13 year old me loved that game and I’m positive, if they would remaster the game, I’d be playing it back to back again

[@JettBlack-Music]

Only one fact that matters: He's not in Dissidia NT and needs to be ASAP.

[@Insanemembrane93]

LottaGuitar exactly Laguna was in the 2nd one and he used all guns and that just made me think why can't Vincent be here .

[@AdamxApple94]

This thumbnail of Vincent in Kingdom Hearts collesium makes me yearn for that mashup

[@raina1848]

He is my favorite Final Fantasy 7 character and it's hard to imagine it without him, so I'm glad they worked to keep him. ❤️

[@az_tinkerer_gamer]

In all honesty, Vincent and Red xiii were my favorite characters from FF vii.

[@phoenixchampion7]

Apparently Vincent at one point in his design was to wield a Scythe... I heard it somewhere in a video describing Vincent's creation process and even had art for him using it... can't remember where I saw it though. Edit: Checked the Wiki, found the early art of him with a scythe... Apparently he had two gauntlets back then.

Would it be plausible that Vinson could still be alive in the final fantasy franchise due to his unique ability and talents as well as how he became who he is?

wow, I didn't know Vincent was originally going to have a different backstory as a reporter. And, that backstory actually sounds alot better than the original backstory he actually has... well it sounds better for Lucrecia anyway. :P

Vincent looks like Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear and a vampire from the Twilight series. Hmmm...

[@ooommm4024]

Vincent's sci-fi horror story was incredibly sad, but Dirge of Cerberus's gameplay mechanics including poorly responsive controls were far sadder. I loved the story from Dirge of Cerberus and how fun Vincent was as a horror-based character in the original Final Fantasy, though.

[@outlawprinz]

I hope FF7R confirms another fact that half of the fandom already knows and the other half refuses to....

[@DoobyShoo]

You do know the ribbon was a tribute to jt being an item/accessory that could clear any illness... they wear it to try to prevent geo stigma but it didn’t work as shown by cloud... hence why aeris was nearly impossible to infect

[@steve71396]

that game is fuking awsome brought back memories , imagine if they bring up something new in 2020-2021?

[@ultrasaiyan35scanlon10]

One thing i noticed is you have played both crisis core and durge of cerberus hidden on the dialog lucretsia before vencint was born was in love and possable together with vencents father beings it is confirmed she is sethroth mother she is also posably vincents mother also which makes vencent and sethroth brother but also vencent himself was deeply in love with his own mother

[@YautjaPrime_WYC]
