Spoiler-free? I think.

You know, I really think I've gotten a much better sense of Vincent's character from playing Dirge than from however the hell many playthroughs of FF7 I've done now.

He hasn't changed, he's still indisputably the Vincent we know and love from 7. It's just, now that he's the protagonist, his personality gets more of a chance to shine. It's still the same Vincent, just now we have a better view of him.

In particular, his sense of humor is really getting to stand out a lot better than it did in FF7. It makes me so gleeful that this game knows its characterization so well, right down to Vincent's dry, cynical wit. Oh, Square, thank you for showing me why I still have faith in you.

(And I'm starting to really like his English voice. Wonders never cease.)

So much love for Vincent's completely random wiseass comments. And the fact that Reeve laughs at them.

The only real change I notice is that he lurked against walls all broody-like in FF7, and now he casually lounges on things and gives us lovely crotch-shots.

Seriously. Vincent can be a very funny man when he tries.

Heeeee. And that can hardly be called a bad change at all. :D

I do adore the interaction with Reeve. Of course, he clearly has a sense of humor himself, and how could someone who was also Cait Sith take anyone too seriously? :D

(Yeesssss. Vincent does a lot of lounging and draping himself and generally posing in attractive ways.

And this is me not complaining one little bit. Yum.)
