This topic applies to both Vincent's in-game equipment and to the possibility of fighting a Weapon creature in the game. Do we know anything about either one?

I'd assume that at least a few of Vincent's weapons from FFVII are going to reappear, such as the Death Penalty. I'd also expect to see some conventional stuff, like machine guns, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, some revolvers or handguns, and probably at least one death ray, because every shooting game has to have a death ray. The question is, why didn't this game star Barret? He's got a much bigger and more destructive assortment of weapons; he could be like friggin' Mega Man, except a lot blacker.
