A gunslinger who slept in a coffin in the Shinra Mansion for many years. Vincent is one of the few who knows Sephiroth's true origin. Vincent has been surgically altered, giving him eternal youth and the ability to change into a variety of beasts.

Character profile

Vincent is a playable character who could initially be recruited via the Challenge Event A Brewing Nightmare, where he was the First Time Reward for completing the event's Sister Ray stage on the Classic difficulty track.

Vincent is a fire-elemental attacker that can use both physical and magic attacks effectively. He suffers from low defense and middling HP, but makes up for it with strong Attack and excellent Magic. As such, Vincent is best used in the back row, where he can attack safely while taking less physical damage.
