Advent Children and Dirge of Cerebus

[Dolentrean]

Thank you! I have always been a huge Vincent fan because of his story. He had alot of peosonality and if you found all the background stories to him you begin to see how much he hurt and begain heal at the end. even after he realised he didnt deserve his punishment (have him in your party right before you fight Hojo) he never forgives himself and was worried about faceing sepheroth because he thought he would sin again if he (SPOILER)Killed the son of Lutricia

Well,yea i guess i am kind of a Vincent hater. :sweatdrop But either way like i said before some people didnt get him in their party so they might not kow much about him,and if you didnt get him they dont explain him in the main story line. So isnt it kind of unfair to those who didnt get him... :-\

[Camanche]

Um, well, it's not as if his character is a HUGE secret. By that logic, even having Vincent and Yuffie in Advent Children is unfair to those who did not get them in the game. To be honest, I don't know why Square left Vincent and Yuffie as secret characters. I personally think they should have been necessary to have in your party. That way, we could have them in FMV sequences.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you 'hate' Vincent? If you enjoy playing FFVII, and have the time, you should go through it again and get Vincent in your party and keep him in there as much as possible. (I know his limits make him a pain in battle, but work with me here)

Also, peek at walkthroughs as you're going through the game to make sure you see all events/flashbacks with him when you get the opportunity. Vincent isn't my favourite character or anything either, but I thought he was a very well thought-out, intriguing, and well-developed/designed character. Maybe you've already done this, and you instead hated Vincent's character for all of this, I don't know.

It's just a thought that one should truly understand something before griping about it, or 'hating' it. (I'm not saying you are, but I'm assuming that if you hate Vincent, you probably wouldn't keep him around in your party, or bother with his sidequests/backstory.)

[Greiver205]

I dont know why square left them out either,and yea it would have been cool to see them in the FMV scenes. I did get him when i played it which i jus replayed like 2 months ago and didnt really find him that interesting...so i never really had him in my party that much. I also did make sure i saw all the scenes related to himand everyone else but still didnt find his character so mysterious and interesting.

[Dolentrean]

well I agree that both Yuffie and Vinc should have been main charecters, they didnt act like extra charecters at all

PS I took that same quest and turned out to be vincint to...

I think i read something that said its 2 years after the game.
ya know like a movie for 2 years after & a game for 2 years after.

[TheAbominatrix]

Advent Children occurs two years after Final Fantasy VII.
Dirge of Cerebrus occurs one year after Advent Children, three years after Final Fantasy VII

[Greiver205]

I wonder if all of them are exactly 356 days apart you know ???

[TheAbominatrix]

I highly doubt it's exact in any way.

[Greiver205]

Yea me too...

for the type of game it seems to be, vincent is the only character that would work. He has a gun, it seems the gun is integral to the game, no-other character uses a gun. As I've said in other threads, it's more likely they wanted to do a shooter type game or something, and they were making sequels to FFVII and saw that Vincent was popular and they could kill two birds with one stone.

THE JACKEL

Barret Wallace

[Greiver205]

Barret Wallace...what??

[CloudStrife48]

Barret Wallace...what??

he said Barrett Wallace is the only character that would work for the game... I say Barrett Wallace would work because he has a gun... is it hard to actually look at the quote i posted with MY input? But Barrett can't transform into awesome chaotic demons to kill things as well as the fan base... but I'm just trying to make a healthy debate here.

vincent owns barrett

[Camanche]

As for Barret's gunarm, it's more like a machine gun, so there's not a lot of aiming required. Not much of a shooter.

I can see your point, but Vincent's types of guns make more sense.

Also, did anyone think that maybe they wanted to make a game that expanded on the history and past of FFVII, chose the character that they'd be able to best do this with, and THAN made it a shooter, considering the characters weapon? It makes more sense to me this way around.
