Vincent Valentine - Blog Posts
i'm playing the original for the first time (i played the remakes first, yes i'm awful, don't wanna hear it) and today i got vincent and why doesn't anyone talk about the easter egg of the safe code???
36-10-59-97 is the code to the safe with the basement key (and lost number) in the original. but the SAME CODE is used in shinra manor's basement during the part where you control cait sith. used in completely different parts of the manor. but still there. i recognized it INSTANTLY.
when they're at home these cats just sleep all over them. vincent and cid and reeve all napping on their couch tangled together and absolutely covered in cats. including cait sith sometimes
Stray cats keep ending up in the Reevincid household and no one knows who is doing it. Was it Reeve, Vincent, Cid, CAIT????
Trick question. It's a different one every time. Sometimes Cid finds a cat on his smoke breaks or Vincent finds one on his recon missions. Reeve feeds strays with a remote control car from his office desk and they follow the car home. Cait just yoinks one up whenever he's out and about.
yuffie taking .5s of vincent and sending them to reeve in official channels
LITERALLY I LOVE THEM
Cid, Reeve, and Vincent together form a functional human being.
Underrated ship
imagining domestic reevincid brings me life y'all
vincent napping on the couch
reeve working from home on a laptop
cid baking in a cute little apron
vincent reading with reading glasses
reeve doing the dishes after a meal
cid working on vehicles in the garage
vincent doing laundry
reeve doing taxes
cid buying groceries
domestic reevincid
HELP THEY'RE SO CUTE.
This joke could be told 500 times and it would never be enough for me
i like to imagine reeve is embarrassed, a little, about using cait sith. everyone else on the team can use their real bodies, really be in the fight, physically put their lives and livelihoods on the line. aerith gainsborough dies, in their quest to save the planet from sephiroth. in dirge of cerberus, he holds himself as if he doesn't see himself as a real member of the group, only someone who helped out.
i think yuffie probably helps the most with this- recalling things cait sith did in battle, treating him as if he's been there the whole time. (she's probably got a little bit of it on her own, what with being the youngest member, and with different motivations than everyone else.)
when cid and vincent get clued in on reeve's imposter syndrome, they're probably much less subtle about supporting him. cid isn't exactly a subtle man in the first place, and vincent doesn't do a lot of nuance in his day-to-day life (autistic old man.). telling reeve how proud they are of the good he's doing, attending all his little team building whatchamacallits, just generally doing their best to be supportive. by being the best husbands they can be.
vincent being afraid of doctors as an adult without really understanding why.
vincent feels the physical symptoms of anxiety, with unrationalised fear of the doctor that caused him to practically attack his doctor, who was then saved by a very concerned reeve.
they have to take him to cloud's doctor, who specializes in ex-SOLDIER care, in that his office looks unlike the labs in all ways possible. no coats, no mako tanks, and ecstatic consent with every action. cloud mostly only goes for emergencies, or when tifa and marlene bully him into it, but cid and reeve grew up on yearly doctor's visits. besides the fact that vincent has a more "dangerous job", the two of them worry about vincent's mysterious medical history.
eventually vincent puts it together that he's equating nibelheim's basement to doctor's offices, lucrecia's prodding to blood tests. cid and reeve insist they come with, and vincent doesn't need to come along to theirs.
post canon cid gets a third airship called the valentine
thinking about final fantasy vii dads today...
cloud and tifa have a weird thing going with their parents, where cloud lost his dad very young/didn't grow up with his dad, only living with claudia, and tifa has the exact opposite, where her mom died when she was young (leading to the og nibelheim incident /hj) and she grew up mostly with brian, until both claudia and brian died in the (second) nibelheim incident.
brian lockhart was obviously very protective of tifa, not wanting her to go up mount nibel in the first place with sephiroth, zack, and cloud to check on the reactor. then he died in front of her up in the reactor a week later...
while barret doesn't talk about his parents, he is a dad, and he sure has complicated feelings about that!! what with dyne being his best friend, and myrna not being able to be there with him, caring for marlene through all that loss must be crazy.
aerith's dad literally helped create sephiroth. professor gast was a craaazy dude lowkey. and he's so irrelevant in her life it kills me a little. i hope we see gast in pt. 3. and tell him his daughter is fuckin' dead.
nanaki has a weird thing with seto, too, where he believed him to be a coward, just to learn that in all actuallity, seto sacrificed the life he could have had with his wife and nanaki to protect cosmo canyon, so nanaki wouldn't feel the need to make a similiar, self-sacrificing choice.
yuffie and godo... her anger at him in the remake trilogy has me hooked. sonon seemed to think he was a great guy, and yuffie adamantly argued the opposite. i cannot WAIT to see him in pt. 3. i cannot wait to find out what is going on. she hates him so much right now, for the sake of her country.
does cid have a dad thing? ...i don't think so. neither does reeve/cait sith... well. i didn't forget them. they're mentioned.
vincent and grimoire... another thing i hope they explore in pt. 3... or in a DoC remake (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMAKE IT.) the literal 4 minutes of grimoire screentime that explains absolutely nothing about their relationship, or grimoire's research, or... ANYTHING. i'm so. curious. he came in, flirted with lucrecia, and died. ARGH TELL ME MORE!!!
also, not a party member, but the whole "president shinra having multiple illegitimate sons" thing always makes me hate that guy a little more. lazard and evan i love you guys. rufus i love you too but your daddy issues are a different flavor.
reeve being anxious about one thing or another but vincent and cid (and yuffie and shelke, sometimes) are always there to help him
always catching when he's overthinking something
dragging him away from wro hq to go out with them for dinner
being with him after some sort of scare, so he knows they're all okay
helping him get through panic attacks, if and when he has them
yuffie sends him updates when she's away in wutai, or on a mission
shelke updates reeve on cid and vincent, since neither of them are technology experts, and she's with them all the time anyway.
cid likes to have reeve "help" him bake (reeve just sits there, and they talk, mostly.)
vincent takes naps on reeve when he's home, since reeve always seems to worry the most about vincent.
just imagining cid washing vincent's hair. vincent styling reeve's (STUPID) mullet. reeve bleaching cid's hair.
domestic reevincid.
cid highwind but he has chronic pain and that's why he's so grumpy all the time because he wouldn't be able to go to space at all now.
cid highwind but he has chronic pain and he has a cane that yuffie had custom made in wutai for him.
cid highwind but he has chronic pain so he and barret start a "disabled club" where they both mostly bitch and moan about their disabilities and gush about their daughters.
cid highwind but he has chronic pain and he lives with vincent who has his own physical issues (chronic exhaustion + light sensitivity) and they support each other best they can. (i also think they live with reeve, who mostly just suffers from anxiety, but. reevincid is not very popular LOL)
cid highwind but he has chronic pain.
looking to clarify here for my sanity.
according to the ff7 wiki, the WRO HQ is "to the east of the ruins of midgar".
according to "the kids are alright: a turks side story" edge is "to the east of the ruins of midgar".
is the WRO HQ in edge??? it must be close, if not in the city, right??? and it's all vague, because we only ever see the WRO HQ in DoC, and Vincent does not pay attention to the geographical location, ig, bc we're just sort of at the building. and i guess i hope it was more on the outskirts, since it practically blows up from DG but like, obviously Reeve would've had it rebuilt after the events of DoC...
anyway im mostly thinking abt locations. is there a secret map somewhere??
are other people making "hopes and dreams in part 3" bingo boards?? i was thinking about it and made a list of like 30+ things to put on the board (a LOT of them are definitely only dreams and won't happen but i thought of them and want them to happen so...)
if other people are, or have ideas, pleeease let me know i'm so curious what other people expect or hope for from part 3
i finished the game and I'M RIGHT! WHERE IS MY DoC FOUND FAMILY CONTENT??? i gotta do it myself (i was doing it already but was i nervous shelke was gonna die so i left her out just in case but she DOESN'T!)
started dirge of cerberus, here's my main takeaway so far:
reeve, cid, and vincent have two daughters, yuffie and shelke.
three dads, two daughters.
am i close 🤨

in honor of me finally recovering from this flare up (GRARGH.) i am inflicting my ache on vincent.
after literally 3 decades of practically hibernating, vincent likely had a lot of issues with aches and pains when moving too much- being active. his limits are hard for him to keep track of until he's past them, because they change on him quite often.
he finds that cold helps more than heat- it reminds him of the cold of the nibelheim manor. he doesn't necessarily like that aspect, but when he ends up settling with cid in rocket town, the cold up there is a comforting cold.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH (2024) dev. Square Enix
I posted this in a server I'm in for my birthday, perhaps I should've posted it here as well. To my relief, it's not a cliche that I thought it was.
I hope it serves well.
It's a Winter wonderland. Come along and slide over~
Everyone clap for non consensual body modification everybody loves a character whose body has been altered against their will
