    Default One of the few things that disapointed me (Vincent related)

    Is that having Vincent in your team never altered any of your encounters with the Turks in anyway. I realize Vincent is an optional character, and that his main storyline is connected to Hojo more than anyone else connected to Shinra, but I just thought that seeing as that Vincent is a Turk, the other Turks should have atleast commented on the fact that he was betraying them or something (like how President Shinra coments on Cloud being a "traitor" because he's with Avalanche now).

    Thoughts?

    The developers did not put in many scenarios for Yuffie and Vincent because of their status as optional characters as you mentioned. I would like to see this changed and their stories intertwined seamlessly with the rest of the cast in a potential remake.

    Do you think that the current generation of Turks would know who Vincent is since he was from several generations prior and had not aged since his disappearance?
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    They probably wouldn't know him personally, but they may know "of" him or a certain look about him, or his mannerisms.

    I really would have liked to have seen it as well, MJN, good point!

    Considering Vincent was a Turk likely before any of the current Turks were even born, it's not so surprising.

    However, one of my main criticisms of FF7's story is the fact that Hojo was not utilized better, and Vincent certainly would have played a part in that development.

    Vincent didn't seem like a very good turk anyway, he just went to sleep under trees and behaved really innappropriately with the people he was assigned to protect. Get involved with all there business and trying to tell them what to do with their own kid. Granted they probably should have listened but still, wasn't very professional of him.

    Dirge... I want to know more about Grimoire Valentine. He looked like an older version of the Vincent we know and love (complete with gun).
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Yeah, that "don't torture and experiment on some innocent baby" attitude of his is just SO nosy.

    Lol

    But yeah, I'd like to see more of Grimoire, you just know he was tapping Lucrecia before Hojo got his grubby mits on her and Vincent started fawning over her.

    Vincent does get some nice dialogue if you take him with you to confront Hojo on the Sister Ray (Barrett is the other must-have of course).

    On topic of Vincent, has anyone seen him kick Aerith? (this could also be considered unprofessional i suppose) Is it just a rumour?
    Was he even a Turk for that long anyway?

    Vincent stopped being a Turk not long after Sephiroth was born (when Hojo experimented on him), which would be well before Aerith was born.
