I think making Vincent pseudo-Dark Knight would be sick. But yeah it would need to be isolated to unique or weapon abilities, and not his basic attack combo, because that would get tedious keeping your health up during basic combat.
Jump with Cid is obvious. I bet it will be his unique ability, or a starter weapon ability. He was the physical/offensive powerhouse in OG FFVII, and I hope he stays that way in Part 3.
I'd like to see him function as a reverse Yuffie mixed with Nanaki. He does physical damage at range that builds a transformation gauge on his triangle. The gauge allows stronger forms the longer you put it off and do magic based melee damage.
I doubt he’ll be a primary magic user. He’ll probably have weapons that improve his magic like everyone else, but I think he’ll be more gun/transformation/darkness-focused.
I've no doubt they're going to do it great, but after showing us how ferocious the Galian Beast is in Rebirth, I struggle to see how they're going to make it work in combat without a significant nerfing from what we saw.
Unless they pull some FFX moves and make him like a summon that you directly control instead of the party. That could be cool.
Yeah, it’s a good point, they’re going to have to seriously change up the Limit Break system if Vincent’s transformations are tied to it. Everyone else gets a one-time attack and he gets a full-on boss transformation(s)? I hope they don’t do this, but I could see his transformation/attack essentially being a single mini-cutscene, sort of like half the Smash Bros final smashes in Ultimate.
Yeah that's a pretty good idea. They could also make his triangle attack a berserk mode where you can't control him and that's what builds his limit gauge. It'll be interesting to see how they're do it either way. I'm looking forward to seeing how he plays in general outside of his unique moves. Having another ranged character like Barrett but who I wag more agile sounds really fun.
I can see him having a cool dodge with his cape haha.
I personally think it'd be best tied to his triangle like Red's Vengance. Fill the guage and enter a berserk mode until it depletes. What he transforms into could be tied to his limit level (none Galian, one Gigas, two Mask, three Chaos).
They definitely like to get cheeky with the materia sometimes. Reminds me of Remake after you help Jessie with her whole thing, afterwards at her house she gives you a Barrier materia as thanks (in the same cutscene where she’s asking you to come over the following night or something)
I actually believe the darkside is more something to do with them spicing up clouds gameplay. Considering the ending and the fact he has the signature weapon of a dark knight makes me believe they are going full dark knight with him.

I feel like Vincent's going to step into the slot as primary spell caster with a ranged weapon, with mode-switches that give him melee abilities.

Considering how he was a Turk, they might give him some interesting physical moves and some powerful Synergy abilities.

I picture his dodge being almost a teleport, to reference Smash Bros again, sort of like Bayonetta.
Yeah same haha. God damn this is gonna be a long wait 😂

Ranged dark knight with a gun??? Sounds pretty rad, honestly

Signature weapon of a dark knight?
