Disturbing Vincent Valentine’s slumber

As host, Matt Mercer brings up his background work in FFVII Remake after introducing the forged. He then places the rumors to mattress (or coffin, on this case) by saying that he’ll tackle the position of Vincent Valentine within the sequel. Vincent, in Remaining Fantasy VII, is a former Turk who joins Cloud and his crew on their escapades as revenge on Hojo. He additionally was the protagonist in Remaining Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, voiced by VA legend Steve Blum.

Being within the business for a few years, Matt Mercer is not any stranger to big-ticket roles. His components in Persona 5 (Yusuke), Hearth Emblem (Chrom), and Overwatch (Cole Cassidy) had been closely praised. He additionally hosts the favored Dungeons & Dragons present, Essential Position.
