Vincent Valentine

Video Game: Final Fantasy VII Revelation

Sleeping in a coffin beneath the Shinra Manor for over two decades, Vincent Valentine carries the weight of guilt no amount of slumber can erase. Cloud and his party pull him back into a world that has moved on without him in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and his return is anything but quiet.

Vincent Valentine’s Burden and Role in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Once a loyal Turk assigned to oversee the Jenova Project, Vincent’s life unraveled when scientist Hojo shot him after a bitter confrontation over the use of humans in the trials. What followed were years of grotesque experimentation that left him capable of morphing into monstrous creatures, a power he views as a curse rather than a gift. In Rebirth, he is found in the manor’s basement during Chapter 11, no longer a missable secret but a figure woven directly into the main story. His combat style leans on a handgun and his Death Penalty weapon, but it’s the transformation limit breaks, Berserk Dance and Chaos Rampage, that reflect just how deep the darkness in him runs. Quiet, deliberate, and burdened by sins he refuses to outrun, he joins Cloud’s group not to seek redemption so much as to simply move forward.

Who Voices Vincent Valentine in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth?

Matthew Mercer voices Vincent in the English version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a role he had long dreamed of landing. Mercer is widely recognized for voicing Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 6, and Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and he brings that same measured, low-register intensity to Vincent’s every line. In Japanese, Shogo Suzuki continues in the role he has held since 2005, lending the character a theatrical gravity that has defined Vincent’s voice across the entire Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.
