The interesting part of Vincent is that he is the only playable character that actually knows Sephiroth's true origin, while everyone else thinks Sephi's is a descendant of Jenova.
An interesting theory is that there is a small possibility that he is the father of Sephiroth. Being related to Lucrecia and Vincent, also with Hojo and using the Jonova cells that are inside him.
It’s crazy to think that Cloud or any of the SOLDIERS who have existed before could’ve easily been as strong as Sephiroth, some stronger than him if they had been Jenova + Lifestream enhanced right from birth. Angeal is very close to that, since he’s inherited Jenova cells from birth too, albeit indirectly instead of injected
you forgot to mention that Vincent was given the role of destroying the world when chaos decided to fuse with him. Vincents chaos form is his actual form but he doesn't use it till later because he was unable to accept not being human anymore. The reason Vincent falls into pity and regret so often is because he is now the darkness of man. Regret, sorrow, sadness, pain etc. etc.
Brett Skinner Great point! It's hard to hit every single detail when there's so much to talk about, so I'm glad people can fill in the cracks through comments :)
Man, what a tragic character, and also one of the most important in regards to the story of FF7. It's a shame he never gets to live happily ever after with Lucrecia.
before the fight with sephiroth when he's stretching/choking everyone, vincent is the only one not struggling just takes the pain like "ive felt worse"
Just think. If Zack had woken Vincent up in Crisis Core, he could would have met Sephiroth, and told him the truth of his origin. Then the events of FFVII might not have happened.
OR lucrecia could have quit being a useless crybaby.vincent tried to console HER after learning she was there when HIS father died. instead she just runs into Hojos arms. if she wasn't so oversensitive she could have stayed with vincent, then sephiroth wouldn't be born. or at least he wouldn't be part jenova.
I had a magazine with info on FF7 before it was released and they had a poster of Vincent in it.Due to his badass look and sharing my name, I bought and played it. Final Fantasy 7 is by far my Favorite/ best game I've ever played. Thank you Vincent. And Thank you 4-8 for this great video.
I can just imagine Vincent sending old man texts to the party members: "Heenolo cLoud. I awsish t takl to yu. MET MEE A KLAM WH IT CALPTIAL. -YORS REPSEPCTIBLY VICNETN
I don't know how many times i played FFVII, but i always liked Vincent. My party was always Cloud with Vincent and either Barret/Cid. He always had the "it" factor and had a great back story. However, i hated Dirge of Cerberus, i played it half way until i couldnt anymore.
Nice video! You guys just won another subscriber. However found just a couple errors and oversights: 1:He wasn't a supervisor during his time on the Turks, he was assigned as Hojo and Lucrecia's bodyguard. 2:Lucrecia's cave can be accessed by black or green chocobo too, and you don't need to wait until disc3 to get again to the cave: just 20 battles will do, making Chaos and Death Penalty available during the Hojo boss fight. 3: Advent Children occurs 2 years after the game, and Dirge of Cerberus is set 3 years after the original game. The two years between the game and Advent Children are explained in the novella series "On the Way to a Smile".
Zeithri ...Impossible hair? His hair looks plausible to me. What’s impossible about it, besides the fact that it never seems to tangle? Even then, most fictional characters’ hair never tangled unless it’s either a plot point or the hair is supposed to be messy.
pretty sure Lucrecia is the true villain of FF7, she chooses HOJO over Vincent, then gets pregnant with HOJO's baby, then lets him mutate the baby with Jenova cells after he kills Vincent and mutates him, and finally never bothers to talk to her child (Sephiroth) and explain to him how he was born making it far less likely hed wind up worshiping Jenova
The relationship between hojo and luc is abusive and i think she was forced to do alot of the bad things. I think she first took hojo over vincent for hojo is a genius but later came to regret it.
There is a scene in Dirge of Cerberus where Lucrecia begs Hojo to give her son back. Hojo only replies by asking how her latest experiment is going.(Presumably during the time she develops the protomateria to help Vincent hold back Chaos). Lucrecia runs off in despair saying she doesn't know or care. She just wants to see her son even if just one more time. Yet another reason why Hojo is such a dick.
she had issues, who ditches a hot classy guy that love you sincerely for an ugly mad scientist? and he was abusive, like hello? bitch is crazy, i can't even fathom what was on her mind, she's either brainwashed or being manipulated because you can't be that fucking dumb, blind and crazy at the same time.
I'm surprised you didn't go in depth on what Chaos actually is and his revealed purpose in Dirge of Cerberus. Other than that love these videos I just binged them all for the second time!
Wasn't FF7 originally planned to be about New York detectives? Missed an opportunity to tie that into that aspect of Vincent's origins, but nevertheless really nice video.
So.. I never tried it out, and since nobody reported ever on it.. What if you play the game past the part where you kill hojo and then wake up Vincent. Does he still ask if you're going to find hojo?
This is a cool question, so I decided to look into it, and the answer is actually pretty interesting. The normal text is: Vincent: "If I go with you will I meet Hojo?" Cloud: "Dunno. But we're after him and Sephiroth. So, I guess sooner or later..." If you recruit Vincent after killing Hojo, Vincent still asks the same question, but Cloud says "Yeah, probably..." I'm not exactly sure why Cloud hides the truth, I guess because he values an immortal vampire as a potential teammate.
NIce vid :) although you forgot hes also the voice of Spike Spiegal from Cowboy bebop. Wolverine in various Marvel shows and films. And Mugen from Samurai Champloo
Just an fyi, Vincents enhanced abilities such as his semi-immortality, super human abilities and transformations are from Hojo's experiments. Being infused with Chaos from Lucrecia only allowed him to come out of his deathlike state after Hojo shot him as he was slowly dying as a result. This was why Hojo branded him a failure after he was done working on Vincent. So while he lost Chaos after Dirge of Cerberus, he still retained all his precious abilities.
Thank God they're rebooting that story because the only thing keeping him alive was Chaos to begin with. Losing that would kill him and if he died on the end that would be a fitting death but man survives because reason. Let him keep Chaos as the protector of earth instead of its destroyer
Vincent Valentine! I think he's my most likable Emo Guy of all time!!!! Hates everything's , only has time to hate his nightmares & he can also lived forever, so has even more time to go hate his nightmares night & day, when he dies in his game, he says: "Now I Can Finally Sleep!" :( hmm..
Same difference, Vincent does say other things when he dies you know! Beside Dirge of Cerberus seems to be the only thing I would rather play on the PS2 these day next to Final Fantasy 12!! Now if I can just get a HD converter for the PS2 that would allow it to convert even further to HDMI LEVEL some say it can be done!!! Owning a PS2 these days can be a real pain, my TV ONLY HAS HDMI but it is in a Suitcase that I can take it anywhere even to McDonald's to Download & play games or movies at same time, it's handy at times!!

It's mostly headcanon. I think fodder for it is their appearances and when you take Vincent with you to fight Hojo in Midgar when he says he's going to give power to his son Vincent immediately goes "...!" which is probably taken out of context.
I think this theory comes mostly from the fact that it’s very hard for many to believe that Hojo managed to have sex with anyone, which is still one of the greatest mysteries of FFVII
Kiki Hyuga Hello Kiki! That is a great idea, I'll keep it in mind. If you want to see it for sure, just hop on over to our patreon page (link in the description) where you can support the show and get your own video request!
A few minor corrections: 1- You only need a Green chocobo to get to Lucrecia's cave 2- You don't have to wait till disk 3 for your second visit, you can do it in disk 2, just do 3 to 10 battles after the first visit and then come back to get the final weapon and the limit. :-)
instant sub, this is amazing, you must do more ahha , i would love to see a reeve/cait sith thing explained, while not my fav character, it would still be amazing to nail it down
This was brilliant. I've roleplayed in an FF fandom for a few years and some players don't know the characters too well. Instead of trying to explain some complex character backgrounds, this kind of video would be a great source of info for them. And of course who wouldn't enjoy watching videos like these, I'd be happy to watch them of any character. Have you ever thought about making a similar video about Kadaj? Please do.
+Daj TheUnforgettable I'll be making a lot of these, but they'll all be FF7 characters for the time being. If you would like your own video request we do have that option on our patreon page, we'd really appreciate the support and need the help, and if you donate enough to get a video request I'd be happy to make a video about Kadaj for you ;)
Aha, well Rufus and Reno are FF7 characters -winks- and I'll think about the Kadaj video. I have no reason why I wouldn't be able to make one myself too, hehe. Anyway, I look foward to watching more of your FF videos, you're doing great job.
Dude, I'm always a fan of you FF vids :) I would love to hear what your top 10 things to do with Final Fantasy are :) Like top 10 bosses, your favourite Materia and or Materia combinations, the top most useful characters in FF7 in your opinion, your favourite weapon for the characters, things like that! I think you should do videos based on your favourite things of Final Fantasy 7 and other FF's if possible. I'd also like to see an In-Depth look on Red Xiii :)
Riku's Road to Dawn Thanks! I appreciate your support! I'd love to do a video about my favorite things sometime, but I have to do all of the other requests I've gotten before I do that. The fans come first!
The way you pronounced Yuffie's last name made me realize there's an A after the R. All this time, I've been saying it "Kiss-are-gee". The way you said it makes a helluva lot more sense.
Love this channel, but I'd really like to see more of these "In-depth look at". Just rewatched them after a couple years and I think it's a really comprehensive series and I'd watch them about any and every character in the ff7 world.
I think the Vincent as vampire thing is meant to be open ended. Vampires were human once in most vampire stories, and are sometimes portrayed as the results of twisted science. Also, at least in his chaos form, Vincent has fangs. It's also suggested that Rosa the Crimson is similar in that sense, having a potentially literal thirst for blood.
Maybe one about Reno as well because so many Reno roleplayers have mentioned how some players have only seen Advent Children and thus think Reno as some comedy relief - which is annoying to those who know that in FF7 Reno ranked high in the hierarchy of the Turks, if I remember correctly Reno was the second choice for the Head of Turks if something should happen to Tseng.
Anyone else notice at the end when sephiroth is controlling everyone and making them float. He’s actually not able to control Vincent. Pay attention. Comment if you noticed
@@taciolothar3794 well.... Hate to admit it, but you might be right. Just might. After all, VII came out in 1997, while DMC appeared in 2001. The characters are not really linked, but do have striking simmilarities.
i find it funny this video popped up for me around halloween time. its october 12 at 3am and tomorrow is actually friday the 13th lol, even if this video is pretty old. vincent has always been my favorite character though, because i find his past so interesting, and i like how overdramatic and brooding he always is haha.. also he's just really cool. i find it hilarious he's more surprised about transforming into monsters than other people are, like other people expect it from him just cause he's kinda weird lol. i really like his voice from steve blum but im excited to hear how he'll be voiced in rebirth.. and ive never considered the glass of red liquid might have been blood even though ive always LOVED the "vincent is a vampire" joke. i think on one of my playthroughs i named him "lestat" haha, same playthrough i named red xiii "neopets" xD
For what it granted you, a death summon, an ultimate limit, AND an optional character, I feel Lost Number should have been an even more challenging fight than it already was.
Just a thought... Would it be invigorating or would it not if the FF7 Remake Vincent had more limit breaks in this version? The same he has now and couple other ones to make it a bit more keen.
Ok. I see why people want his Original voice actor back. And I can agree. Is it because God of War is my first PlayStation game? Honestly. Doing that will be good if Santa Monica Wants to do a Remake of God of War 1 with new voice acting.
are you making an item/weapon/armours/accessory guide perhaps? i know one of aeris' weapons is a chocobo racing gift you can only obtain on disk one or something like that, and in the game it doesn't tell you the statistics of certain armours such as the gigas/warrior armlet
you can obtain death penalty and chaos as soon as you get the sub, you dont need to revisit it on disc 3, you just need to fight 10 battles and enter the cave again
actually you can go back to lucrecia's cave after 10 random battles has being fought and won , same goes foe the time for a chocobo to mature and be able to mate .
@@jet100a Materia Keeper is the first boss after getting Vincent, provided you get him as soon as you can. Materia Keeper absorbs fire attacks, so if you use Vincent's Limit Break, he has a 50/50 shot of healing the boss for a huge chunk by casting a high-damage fire spell. I also discovered this the hard way. Had to have my other characters kill Vincent so he'd stop healing the boss.
@@matthewgorton1747 Just played through that part two days ago. I learned my lesson beforehand when I faced off fire-typed Great Dragons before the boss fight. Took a while to finish off my first encounter because Vincent's Limit Break kept healing it -.- Still kept him in my party during the fight with the Materia Keeper though, and did fine. Just made sure not to hit his Limit Break and instead casted regular & magic attacks.
You don’t actually have to visit the cave on disks two and three, you just have to visit and then enter 10 encounters and return to the cave by the way
i can't find his chaos action figure or was it ever made? this is an awesome video also the red liquid you saw in the beginning scene of dirge of cerberus was red wine i think.
It's most likely red wine, but I said red liquid because we don't know for sure. I don't know where that action figure can be found, it was most likely only produced in Japan, but I can't even find it on amazon. Thanks for the support!
Naoko I have a secret....Red XIII is next. If you want to see those other characters though please head over to the Patreon page and consider supporting us so we can keep making videos!
Vincent as a "Vampire" is done in the same way as the character Lemon in Shining Force 2. Neither are *Vampires* as such, although they have similar traits people today associate with them. They fall more inline with the traditional view of a Ghoul or Zombie.
I got Vincent's ultimate limit and weapon on disc 2. All I had to do was visit the cave after underwater reactor, then have 10 battles, then visit the cave again and there it was. Death Penality and Chaos Limit break.
Vincent just looks like he should be a Castlevania character
or hellsing or trinty blood
The interesting part of Vincent is that he is the only playable character that actually knows Sephiroth's true origin, while everyone else thinks Sephi's is a descendant of Jenova.
Yet, he doesn't tell anyone

That actually happened in a fanfic! It’s called Haunted House, and it’s on fanfiction.net.
Negative. Sephiroth was made to be a powerful character that loses his mind. It's the base nature of the character, and its role within the story.
Well now we will see moore of Vincent and zak in the remake trust cnt wait
OR lucrecia could have quit being a useless crybaby.vincent tried to console HER after learning she was there when HIS father died. instead she just runs into Hojos arms. if she wasn't so oversensitive she could have stayed with vincent, then sephiroth wouldn't be born. or at least he wouldn't be part jenova.
That is... wow... actually, mind blown!
Vincent didn't really lie to Lucrecia, Sephiroth was dead at the time. Everything he had been doing throughout the game was from the lifestream.
Technically true, but its more of a half truth since the real answer should have included "and btw he's trying to destroy the entire planet"
"does anyone have a phone i can borrow??
sweet fucking entrance holy man
"...And most importantly, Tom, the host of Toonami." Holy shit.
+ARegularPanda
That surprised me the most.

Me too. He also didn’t mention Orochimaru from Naruto, Mugen from Samurai Champloo, Leeron from Gurren Lagaan, or etc, etc. The list gets too long.

And of course who wouldn't enjoy watching videos like these, I'd be happy to watch them of any character. Have you ever thought about making a similar video about Kadaj? Please do.
+Daj TheUnforgettable I'll be making a lot of these, but they'll all be FF7 characters for the time being. If you would like your own video request we do have that option on our patreon page, we'd really appreciate the support and need the help, and if you donate enough to get a video request I'd be happy to make a video about Kadaj for you ;)
Aha, well Rufus and Reno are FF7 characters -winks- and I'll think about the Kadaj video. I have no reason why I wouldn't be able to make one myself too, hehe. Anyway, I look foward to watching more of your FF videos, you're doing great job.
Dude, I'm always a fan of you FF vids :) I would love to hear what your top 10 things to do with Final Fantasy are :) Like top 10 bosses, your favourite Materia and or Materia combinations, the top most useful characters in FF7 in your opinion, your favourite weapon for the characters, things like that! I think you should do videos based on your favourite things of Final Fantasy 7 and other FF's if possible. I'd also like to see an In-Depth look on Red Xiii :)
Riku's Road to Dawn Thanks! I appreciate your support! I'd love to do a video about my favorite things sometime, but I have to do all of the other requests I've gotten before I do that. The fans come first!
Yeah of course I understand you're busy :) but when you get the chance, I'm sure all the fans would enjoy it as much as me :) and thanks for replying!
Riku's Road to Dawn I think they would too, it's a great idea! And you're welcome ;)
The way you pronounced Yuffie's last name made me realize there's an A after the R. All this time, I've been saying it "Kiss-are-gee". The way you said it makes a helluva lot more sense.
very nice video, bro. I like the whole presentation about my favourtie character
Love this channel, but I'd really like to see more of these "In-depth look at". Just rewatched them after a couple years and I think it's a really comprehensive series and I'd watch them about any and every character in the ff7 world.
There will be more! I've been too busy with Twitch and being a new father, but I will be making more soon I promise. Thanks for the support!
Oh shit dawg, congrats! Going to buy some merch or something to help out.
Will you redo this video with your better production value and script writing your modern videos have?
I think the Vincent as vampire thing is meant to be open ended. Vampires were human once in most vampire stories, and are sometimes portrayed as the results of twisted science. Also, at least in his chaos form, Vincent has fangs. It's also suggested that Rosa the Crimson is similar in that sense, having a potentially literal thirst for blood.
Maybe one about Reno as well because so many Reno roleplayers have mentioned how some players have only seen Advent Children and thus think Reno as some comedy relief - which is annoying to those who know that in FF7 Reno ranked high in the hierarchy of the Turks, if I remember correctly Reno was the second choice for the Head of Turks if something should happen to Tseng.
You can awkwardly park The Highwind next to the Lucrecia's Waterfall as well. It takes some effort, but it can be done.
*IN-DEPTH REQUEST = RENO & RUDE OF THE TURKS!!*
Anyone else notice at the end when sephiroth is controlling everyone and making them float. He’s actually not able to control Vincent. Pay attention. Comment if you noticed
Vincent is awesome
Steve also voice spike spiegel duhh
You forgot to mention what Vincent and his transformations kinda look like Dante from Devil May Cry series.
Dante look like Vincent my friend. 😊👍
@@taciolothar3794 well....
Hate to admit it, but you might be right. Just might.
After all, VII came out in 1997, while DMC appeared in 2001.
The characters are not really linked, but do have striking simmilarities.
A yo what's good, Hood?! Interesting and very insightful video. Thanks for uploading!
i find it funny this video popped up for me around halloween time. its october 12 at 3am and tomorrow is actually friday the 13th lol, even if this video is pretty old. vincent has always been my favorite character though, because i find his past so interesting, and i like how overdramatic and brooding he always is haha.. also he's just really cool. i find it hilarious he's more surprised about transforming into monsters than other people are, like other people expect it from him just cause he's kinda weird lol. i really like his voice from steve blum but im excited to hear how he'll be voiced in rebirth.. and ive never considered the glass of red liquid might have been blood even though ive always LOVED the "vincent is a vampire" joke. i think on one of my playthroughs i named him "lestat" haha, same playthrough i named red xiii "neopets" xD
For what it granted you, a death summon, an ultimate limit, AND an optional character, I feel Lost Number should have been an even more challenging fight than it already was.
Just a thought... Would it be invigorating or would it not if the FF7 Remake Vincent had more limit breaks in this version? The same he has now and couple other ones to make it a bit more keen.
Gotta love Vincent
Ok. I see why people want his Original voice actor back. And I can agree. Is it because God of War is my first PlayStation game? Honestly. Doing that will be good if Santa Monica Wants to do a Remake of God of War 1 with new voice acting.
sry if you heard this already but you dont have to wait till disk 3 you can fight the 10 random battles on disk 2 and then go back to the cave
I love these videos and your voice!
You had me all melancholy with the entire video until the METALKABUTERIMOOOOOOON part xD
11:22 WHOA, Steve Blum voiced "Aerith" from God of War? OUTSTANDING.
You forgot to add best wolverine voice actor
such a sad story
are you making an item/weapon/armours/accessory guide perhaps? i know one of aeris' weapons is a chocobo racing gift you can only obtain on disk one or something like that, and in the game it doesn't tell you the statistics of certain armours such as the gigas/warrior armlet
Vicent: i hád a long list of regret
if he is in the remake i would definitely play as him once i acquire him
Vincent is Alucard
If only Sephiroth is more like Vincent's son *chuckles*
Well vincent is NOT a vampire NOR a human
BUT A MANPIRE!
you can obtain death penalty and chaos as soon as you get the sub, you dont need to revisit it on disc 3, you just need to fight 10 battles and enter the cave again
I mean, I get why Tom is the most important mention, but how are we gonna ignore Orochimaru?? Lmao
He also played Wolverine most recent animated iterations
actually you can go back to lucrecia's cave after 10 random battles has being fought and won , same goes foe the time for a chocobo to mature and be able to mate .
Never... Ever... EVER take Vincent into the battle with the Materia Keeper. I learned that the hard way back in the day. -_-
Why not?
@@jet100a Materia Keeper is the first boss after getting Vincent, provided you get him as soon as you can. Materia Keeper absorbs fire attacks, so if you use Vincent's Limit Break, he has a 50/50 shot of healing the boss for a huge chunk by casting a high-damage fire spell. I also discovered this the hard way. Had to have my other characters kill Vincent so he'd stop healing the boss.
@@matthewgorton1747 wow, that sucks
@@matthewgorton1747 Just played through that part two days ago. I learned my lesson beforehand when I faced off fire-typed Great Dragons before the boss fight. Took a while to finish off my first encounter because Vincent's Limit Break kept healing it -.-
Still kept him in my party during the fight with the Materia Keeper though, and did fine. Just made sure not to hit his Limit Break and instead casted regular & magic attacks.
I swear to god, Vincent listens to My Chemical Romance religiously and Cloud listens to Backstreet Boys
Haha
I am now going to answer "do you listen to MCR?" With "ah, my religion!"
Are you planning on doing the rest of the cast? It would be super cool to see.
So Aerith and Sephirth are half-siblings then?
He always makes me think of Dante
You don’t actually have to visit the cave on disks two and three, you just have to visit and then enter 10 encounters and return to the cave by the way
i can't find his chaos action figure or was it ever made? this is an awesome video
also the red liquid you saw in the beginning scene of dirge of cerberus was red wine i think.
It's most likely red wine, but I said red liquid because we don't know for sure.
I don't know where that action figure can be found, it was most likely only produced in Japan, but I can't even find it on amazon.
Thanks for the support!
I'm still trying to collect all the Vincent valentine action figures lol. It would e awesome it I could find that chaos one as well
kugrl Well I'll keep an eye out for you ;)
awesome thank you very much. really appreciate it :-)
If ya would - Do Nanaki / Red XIII or Yuffie Kisaragi or heck even Cloud Strife since his side of FFVII can be a little confusing for some people.
Naoko I have a secret....Red XIII is next. If you want to see those other characters though please head over to the Patreon page and consider supporting us so we can keep making videos!
Vincent as a "Vampire" is done in the same way as the character Lemon in Shining Force 2. Neither are *Vampires* as such, although they have similar traits people today associate with them. They fall more inline with the traditional view of a Ghoul or Zombie.
I got Vincent's ultimate limit and weapon on disc 2. All I had to do was visit the cave after underwater reactor, then have 10 battles, then visit the cave again and there it was. Death Penality and Chaos Limit break.
