I used Vincent in my party because he's cool. No reason not to. Besides, FF7 is a pretty damn easy game the whole way through, so if you're resorting to tier whoring, I've got some bad news for you.

This is the 6th or 7th current thread about FF7. On googling, apparently there was some recent news about a FF7 remake so /v/ is shitposting everywhere. Also four Mother series threads since some e-celeb recently talked about one of them.
/v/ is mentally unable to talk about videogames, so now they are trying to shut down videogame discussion on every other videogame related board.

The one part of the game where it's cool to have Vincent in your party is the invasion of Midgar. You get some bonus dialogue when you get to Hojo.

>uses ranged weapons so he can just hang in the back row without penalty
>has a weapon with a 255/256 chance to hit, so he can hit deathblows whenever
He's not as good as Barret or Yuffie because of his limits, but if you can't stand to have a black guy or loli-ninja in your party he's a decent substitute.

Vincent is the best magic user outside of Aeris.

I suppose it's Cloud, but bringing him into this discussion is pointless because Cloud is mandatory and best at everything apart from dexterity.

and Vincent is tied with the cat for magic, but has more MP

That's the problem with 7. There's zero reason to use anyone other than Cloud/Yuffie/Barret until you get Cid.

Another victim of Vincent.
I actually fell twice to this trap. The second time happened during my first replay after years of not playing FF7. I completely forgot about that fire-absorbing monster. Transformed Vincent to Beast, do Beast Flare then I remembered how Vincent fucked my team in my first play.

THANK YOU!!
This happened to me too on my first playthrough, Vincent's limit break can sabotage the party in that fight, and it happens in the first dungeon after acquiring Vincent which is when most players would have him in the party testing him out after the lengthy process of obtaining him (I died to Lost Number on my first attempt, and spent a good while grinding inside Shinra Manor before reattempting). In frustration I shelved Vincent and never used him in my main party again

On my second playthrough (about 12 years later) I fell into the exact same trap again, with Vincent's beserk mode healing the Dragon, and had to kill Vincent with Cloud and Yuffie just to continue the fight. This time I kept him in the main party, and don't remember having any other issues with him for the rest of the game, Cloud-Yuffie-Vincent was my final party all the way from then on

His basic attack with the Death Penalty is the strongest attack in the game if you feed him a retarded amount of kills.

I always used some combo of Yuffie/Cid/Vincent, because I thought they were cool.

is there a ranking of the best party members, statistically speaking?
