Really? that sucks vincent was one of my favorites throughout the game.The ONLY lame thing I've seen about this game is that it seems Vincent and Cid will be assist characters. That is genuinely not acceptable.
Everything else sounds stellar.
Some of the best moments of the OG game was unlocking them and then maybe getting randomly taken on the yuffie side missions.Good. I hated how excluded they felt in the original game, especially considering they were two of the coolest characters in the game.
I'm fine with having optional characters in RPGs, but if you acquire them, then I want them to have full party intereactions, backgrounds, etc. like any main character does.
Sucks everything is just given to you now.
