At New York Comic Con 2023, Square Enix revealed Matthew Mercer will be the voice actor for Vincent Valentine in FFVII Rebirth. However, we already had a hint he could be involved in the project in some way. When the company announced its panel for the event, it also noted Mercer would be present.
At the time, Mercer was only mentioned as a “host” for the NYCC 2023 panel. However, during the presentation itself, it came up that he will be the voice actor for Vincent Valentine in FFVII Rebirth. However, that reveal wasn’t accompanied by official art for the character just yet. Even when the company revealed on social media the identity of the actor behind the character, it used the existing art that shows Vincent from behind when he meets the party in Nibelheim.
We did already know Vincent would appear in this entry. The September 2023 PlayStation Showcase confirmed his inclusion and teased the scene when the party would encounter him. Square Enix subsequently revealed that, while he and Yuffie were both optional characters in the original FFVII, they will not be in the remakes.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to the PS5 on February 29, 2024, with the exclusivity arrangement ending on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. You can also find FFVII Ever Crisis on mobile devices.
