It is sad that a fan-favorite character, loved by almost everyone, is not playable. However, Vincent can join the party in Chapter 11: The Long Shadow of Shinra. Go underground in the Shinra Manor and look for a room near a giant pit while defeating enemies along the way. A cutscene will be played as the player enters the room. During the cutscene, Vincent gets introduced to the player.

After that, players have to fight Vincent in his Galian beast form. After a long battle, Vincent gets asked to join the party of Cat Sith, but he rejects the proposal. However, as the chapter ends, Vincent joins the party as they leave. There is a slight possibility that players might get to play as Vincent in the third installment of the series, but as for now, they can only add him to the party.

Who is Vincent Valentine?

Vincent is a self-proclaimed security guard whose first appearance was in the 1997 Final Fantasy VII. This man appears to be in his late twenties with black hair and red eyes. Vincent had a dark past, from serving Turks to getting shot in the chest by Hojo.

He was subjected to experiments that enhanced the human body, which ultimately let him turn into a Galian beast. To atone for his sins, Vincent locks himself in a coffin in the basement of Shinra Manor. After twenty years, Cloud and his party wake him up while exploring the manor and he joins Cloud’s party at the end of Chapter 11.
