Vincent Valentine

Optional gun-using party member · Shinra Mansion

Vincent is a former Turk whose past is entangled with Shinra’s experiments. The player can recruit him through an optional sequence in the mansion.

  • Story: His optional scenes provide additional context for the history surrounding Lucrecia and the experiments behind the main conflict. Later compilation stories expand him further, but are not required to understand his original role.
  • In the game: His Limits transform him and reduce direct control. Consider the form’s attacks and enemy resistances before using one, particularly if an elemental attack could be ineffective or heal the target.
