depth

behind that frowning face

Many character shrines have a page or two defending their character of choice as "not as one-dimensional as you think!" or "horribly misunderstood!". So here I am with mine. I don't really involve myself in or care about the Final Fantasy VII fandom too much, admittedly, so maybe I don't have too much to say on the aforementioned subject. Nevertheless, I still believe that Vincent is more than just a cloaked lump of Emo with a capital E. And despite his anti-social appearance, he isn't that standoffish at all.

That said, it's a lot of fun to take a look at Vincent's interactions with other characters, in both the past and present. This section will also follow the nitty-gritty details of his Tragic Past and other in-depth things/essays that may or may not be of interest.

Please keep in mind that I will heavily reference material from my VincentxLucrecia shrine, Even in Distance, because I hate repeating myself and I'm guessing people don't like redundancy anyway.

the past

30 YEARS - What happened to Vincent back then.
TURK - That uniform is sexy and you know it.
CHAOS - DoC plot element in relation to him.

LUCRECIA CRESCENT - The woman who meant everything to him.
PROFESSOR HOJO - Quintessential evil.
SEPHIROTH - Everything foul and fair.
GRIMOIRE VALENTINE - The man who was his father.

the present

CLOUD STRIFE - Similar burdens and angst.
YUFFIE KISARAGI - Couldn't be any more opposite.
CID HIGHWIND - Uhh...drinking buddies?
OTHERS - Less-emphasized relationships.

thoughts

SYMBOLISM - Demon, not vampire.
THE DIRGE - You can't call it a review.
ROMANCE - Because pairings are epic lulz.
JUSTIFICATION - Why I like Vincent, etc. etc. etc.
