Vincent Valentine in the sense of being a vague undefined character with their design favouring fan service over any sort of relevant appearance to the plot. I never called him sullen or brooding, just a transparent attempt to be an "edgy" character. I took an instant dislike to him because of this, he strikes me as someone who belongs in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Zelda never really went in for the cookie cutter characters like that.
A lot of people seem very into this guy judging by the reactions in this thread so I guess it worked. Or maybe he turns into something worthwhile later on, guess I'll find out.
