  1. His name means “Warrior of Love.” ^_^
  2. He’s tall, dark, and mysterious...
  3. All the best anime characters have long black hair.
  4. All the best anime characters have blood type A.
  5. Dark ruby eyes...
  6. He makes a really good fanfic character with a past like that.
  7. He makes a really good fan art character with a face like that. =D
  8. Guns are sexy.
  9. Look at his official picture (the one in the strategy guide, drawn by Nomura).  That look in his eyes...he looks so evil—like he wants to kill you.  Call me strange, but I see that as a very good reason.
  10. After hunting him down to murder him, he wishes his archenemy to rest in peace.  It takes a strong person to do that.
  11. He has a pistol and a rifle. =o
  12. He’s not a vampire.
  13. He’s one of the best fighters in FF7.
  14. He transforms into monsters—when he gets pissed, he really gets pissed.  What’s more alluring than passion?
  15. He’s loyal to Lucrecia.  Even after not seeing her for thirty years and everything she’s put him through, he still loves her.  (Aww...)
  16. Most people think he’s cold and uncaring, but I think he’s really a sensitive guy underneath.  I mean, when he sees what happened to Lucrecia as his fault, he really beats himself up over it...for more years than I’ve lived. x.x
  17. He can sit on top of roofs in lightning storms and not get hit by lightning, even when half decked out in metal.
  18. He can balance himself on a pointed roof to begin with.  That takes skill.
  19. He’s the hardest to aquire in your party, because he’s the best reward.
  20. After that he can jump out a window to avoid a missile, somersault in the air while taking a helicopter out with his gun, and land perfectly on the edge of the roof across the street without taking a scratch.
  21. His catch phrases are “...”, “...!”, and “...?”
  22. “If she is happy, then...I don’t mind.”  That quote is reason enough.
  23. I finished the game eight years ago and I’m still obsessed! I still can’t enough, and I know you can’t either.
  24. The claw...  THE CLAW!!!
  25. He’s more of a freak than I am.  And possibly more of a freak than you are.
  26. He has black fingerless gloves!  (Or, uh...one of them..at least...)
  27. My obsession has gotten to the point where my family knows who “Vincent Valentine” is without me having to mention him first.
  28. He’s the reason I bought a PlayStation!
  29. I suck at Ehrgeiz, unless I’m playing as him.
  30. He’s a Turk!  That automatically makes him cool.
  31. He was instantly my favorite character before I even played the game, while flipping through the instruction booklet.
  32. Hey, he’s had a hard life.  Getting transformed and put to sleep in the ShinRa Mansion basement for thirty years isn’t easy.
  33. He’s a deep, intellectual person.
  34. He has a cool cape.
  35. His theme song is so eerie and cool.
  36. He is the official “dark, tormented” character of the game.
  37. He’s the closest to Sephiroth, concerning looks.
  38. He has the best storyline in the game.
  39. Red and black look good together.  (A guy with some fashion sense.)
  40. He always speaks in cryptic sentence fragments with lots of pauses.
  41. Vincent’s the one character who really and truly doesn’t give a crap about any of the others.
  42. He can say, “Yeah?  Well, I knew his mom, so there!”
  43. He looks pretty damn good for a sixty year old.
  44. He hardly moves during battle and still kicks butt.
  45. Can you name anyone else in the group who turns into demons?
  46. He is totally self-reliant.
  47. The red bandana just screams style.
  48. Not buff and not frail, but just right.
  49. Wouldn’t you be his valentine?
  50. He’s got the coolest shoes in the game.
  51. He’s a Libra.
  52. Aren’t guys just too amusing when they gaze sadly at you and ask, “What’s Vincent got that I don’t?”
  53. The way he can send chills down your spine!!  (When you’re a female it’s because you think he’s so hot!)  [ from Nicole ]  (Raven’s note:  Uh...okay.)
  54. His ultimate limit break is an instant kill (99% of the time)!  [ from “Matt” … I think. ]
  55. He is the most argued about character in the game.  [ from Phoenixflame ]
  56. He’s an isolated cool dude!  [ from Vincent ]
  57. He is the person who has a demond inside of him CHAOS THE INTERNAL KILLER HA HA HA  [ from Vincent ]  (Raven’s note:  Ridalin and spellcheckers are wonderful things.  Punctuation was invented for a reason.  That’s all I have to say.)
  58. How many 60 year olds do you know who can work a hoverboard like that?
  59. He’s your elder...so he can discipline you when you’ve been a bad girl. =o
  60. He’s the ONLY Final Fantasy character to have gotten his very own game.
  61. Watch this video.
  62. The way Chaos’s eyes just soften when he sees Lucrecia in front of him.. /tear
  63. Even if it didn’t save her, he took a bullet and died for Lucrecia.
  64. He can be my bodyguard any day!
  65. He wears black leather.
  66. He’s Beauty AND the Beast.
  67. He saved the world!  Twice!
  68. As emotionally detached as he pretends to be, he can still offer points of emotional wisdom and experience to people like Shelke and Reeve.
  69. He’s not insecure about letting frightened six year old girls take shelter under his cloak and what this does for his masculine image.
  70. He’s caught on to the cellphone trend.  And they say you can’t teach old dogs new technology!
  71. He is often found coming to the rescue of others.  Yuffie, Shelke, Tseng, Elena, and even Cloud have all had their asses personally saved by Mr. Valentine on separate occassions—not to mention half of Kalm and the WRO.
  72. He tells Hojo to STFU.
  73. He ignores Yuffie when she hits her head.
  74. His smile at the end of Dirge of Cerberus!
  75. Nojima says it’s because of Vincent that Cloud decides to forgive himself, too, in AC.  He sets the so-called “main character” on track.
  76. Vincent rocks because he’s sexier than Cloud.  (No offense, Cloud.)  [ from Wacky Linkin ]

+ Why do YOU think Vincent rules? +
