Vincent's age in FFVII:AC?

[Heartless Shadow]

oh well sorry i was only saying

[Destai]

You didnt do anything to apologise for and I appreaciate people giving there opinions. Im sorry if I came off the wrong way.

[amratis]

(squishy hug) Okay that was just random, sorry.

Vincent I think ages, technically speaking, but there are no physical signs of aging on him.

[Destai]

As far as I see it, He doesnt age physically but I did think years would be added on anyway but if that was true then wouldnt square have added years on during the time he spent asleep making him about 57?

[amratis]

I think they would acknowledge that, but I think maybe they dont see the point in saying he's *actually* 57 when he doesnt look anything like it? Maybe it makes him less cool

[Destai]

But if they do that they probably wont acknoledge him as 29 or 30 in AC or DOC.

[amratis]

Probably not no. He makes a better tragic hero if he doesnt age. Well, hes ages mentally, but not physically.

[sayen]

have you lot been to the offical website on square-enix.co.jp? casue it says there that vincent is

age 27
blood type a
birth date october 13

and i rember it says the same thing in the guide.

[amratis]

Yes we have seen all this, somone posted it earlier, or in a different thread on this Forum somewhere. Yes we know how old he is we're just debating WHY doesnt he age really, or does he age mentally or blah blah blah.

Hey Hojo's a celg vilgan (Al bhed) . But a evil genius, so making Vincent immortal would just add to his agony. Now that's torture.

[Luthien Rogue]

Immortal or not, his age still increases. Even if this casserole right next to me is going to last forever, it's still one day older tomorrow.

But he does not age physically. Vinny would be in his 50's now, but you'd never be able to tell by his appearance.

I've heard several suggestions that the J-cells in his body make him imortal assuming no one murders him by force. I dont honestly know. Maybe it just slows the aging process. But you're definitely right in saying all those years in the Shinra mansion didnt add to his age at all which now that I think about it, Yeah that probably proves hes immortal.

Vincent does not have J-cells inside of him. He was not affected by the Reunion at all.

[Destai]

Hes a hidden character and wasnt a part of the official story. You couldnt expect Square back in 1997 to make all those different scenarios so its not known wether he was effected and besides, assuming you woke him up he was present at the reunion.

But he was never being SUMMONED to the reunion. The entire Party was present at the reunion, does that mean they all have J-Cells in them? No, it means they made the CHOICE to be there. Cloud was affected by J-Cells, so we know what happens to people who are being affected by them. We never saw any of those things (you know, being controled and almost killing someone you love, twice... having little fits... being summoned to the reunion... etc) in Vincent.

And Vincent may have been a hidden character, but he still has a large part in the story.

[SPOILERS]He was in love with the woman who gave birth to Sephiroth; he was shot and experimented on the the father of Sephiroth; He tells us the truth about Sephiroth's past. etc... [/SPOILERS]

And what's your point anyway? What do you mean by "all those different scenarios"? What different scenarios?

[Destai]

Cloud chose to go there also, He was following Sephiroth there. If he had not follwed him there he may well have been summoned there. Vincent was at the reunion with the rest of the party, does that mean vincent doesnt have Jenova celss in him? no it means like Cloud they chose to be there but had cloud not followed sephiroth there he may well have been summoned and forced there by the j-cells in him. And like I said. Vincent was a hidden character so you couldnt expect them to put all those details in him because that would effect the story and hes only an optional character. If they did show them parts of the game would have worked differently as in different scenarios. And although his past was connected to large characters in the story Vincent himself never had any real effect on the story. He was just there to fight and do the same as the rest of the party.

Ahem... *clears throat* Actually...

Cloud:
"I wasn't pursuing Sephiroth."

(Cloud shakes his head.)

"I was being summoned by Sephiroth."

Cloud was being summoned by him.

Vincent was at the reunion with the rest of the party, does that mean vincent doesnt have Jenova celss in him? no it means like Cloud they chose to be there but had cloud not followed sephiroth there he may well have been summoned and forced there by the j-cells in him.

*points up ^ * So Cloud, the one Party member who does have J-Cells within himself; who is a Sephiroth Clone, was being summoned to the Reunion. The rest of the team was not being summoned; they chose to be there. Those people did not have J-Cells inside of them.

And like I said. Vincent was a hidden character so you couldnt expect them to put all those details in him because that would effect the story and hes only an optional character.

Whether they wanted Vincent to have J-Cells inside of him or not would not affect the story in any way. If he did have J-Cells inside of him -- which he doesn't -- it would not have been crucial to the story of FFVII.

If they did show them parts of the game would have worked differently as in different scenarios.

Ok, so go ahead and give me an example.

And although his past was connected to large characters in the story Vincent himself never had any real effect on the story. He was just there to fight and do the same as the rest of the party.

Yes, but, you must GET Vincent in order to reveal important parts of the story. Without him, many things would go unanswered. He was important to the plot for that reason. And now, knowing that he has his own game coming out, I think it's fair to assume he is in fact a very important character.
