Naoki Hamaguchi says Vincent's combat in FF7 Revelation feels so great to control that he is worried a lot of people will just use Vincent and not the other characters! He says you can freely switch between long-range combat in his normal form and close-range combat in his Beast form at any time.

I highlighted the quote about the Eorzea Café in this interview, because I was also that excited when I went. Here is the quote in its full context:

Interviewer: In your acceptance speech after winning Game of The Year, you extended thanks to Hironobu Sakaguchi. Could you tell me more about why you decided to thank him specifically? 

Guillaume Broche: Because I see him as the original man behind Final Fantasy, which very obviously inspired me. It’s the series that really made me fall in love with video games. And I’ve played literally all of them. It’s one of, or maybe the most influential series in my life. I know all the characters by heart, and I know all the music by heart. The Final Fantasy soundtracks are probably the soundtracks I’ve listened to the most in my entire life. Simply, it’s a universe I’ve been living in ever since I was little, and it’s the only one that has so strongly ingrained itself in me. 

We went to Akihabara yesterday and the day before. There was a Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe, and I was literally like a kid going, “This is so cool!” (laughs). It’s so important to me that I just thought it would be right to thank the person that allowed us to ship the game through their influence.
