Vincent Valentine (FF VII)

[Eltacolibre]

You know funny enough, I have never seen anybody doing a conversion of Vincent Valentine including all his abilities and the likes(transformation limit breaks). With all the materials that are out there right now, I'm sure some people could come up with a build for him.

Alchemist with mutagen might be a way to go about it but curious to see what you are all thinking when making him.

I'd go Gunslinger(Pistolero)/Summoner(Synthesist)...

I'm not sure Pistolero works since he mostly uses rifles, but Summoner (Synthesist) would be closest to his monster-shapeshifting.

He uses a pistol as a Turk. He uses one throughout FF7. And in Advent Children. The sniper/assault rifle upgrades in Dirge of Cerberus are most likely just a game mechanic, since he consistently uses his (wait for it) pistol during cutscenes. I'm honestly curious where you get the idea that he "mostly uses rifles". That aside, Pistolero isn't a requirement; a regular Gunslinger or even a Fighter with some ranged feats and weapon training in firearms would work fine too.

Vincent's Weapon List from FFVII

I probably just remember him as mostly using rifles and shotguns since that was what I had him equipped with all those years ago.

I guess we both kinda stand corrected... Split the difference with a regular Gunslinger then?

As for the Limit Break transmutation eidolons; they are Galian Beast, Death Gigas, Hellmasker and Chaos, in that order. I'd pick evolutions and work along the chain, considering each new "form" to be an "upgrade" of the previous one. The higher Vince's level, the stronger his limit; he'd have little reason to pick a lesser shape anyway. That also prevents us from having to stat out 4 different evolution "chains" and find a way to switch between them.
