Vincent Is Not A Smart Lad - Minor 1.5 Spoilers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 січ 2022
- Vincent is the most exciting character in Stardew Valley, so it makes sense that this video took me an extra week, right? After all, he's a kid who loves snails, hates clay, and can barely read. What's not to love about a little dude who has the personality of a wet napkin and the intellect to match?

I do think he mostly just there, but he will call your farm and ask you if you have piggies and i thought that was really cute.
Yeah bro wanna check out my 200 pig truffle farm?
Lol Vincent wants to be a sweaty end game pig farmer.
thats cute
That’s freakin adorable
I wish SDV fair includes farm tours
I like Vincent. In a town where everybody has issues, he's just a boy who wants to play with the only other kid his age. Not everybody needs to have an exciting life story, and having people like him makes the game feel more alive. Also I end up befriending him and Jas since Penny is my favorite marriage candidate, and it's convenient to also give them gifts
Okay but when you think about it, you realise how lonely Vincent must have felt before Shane and Jas moved in with Marnie. All the other "kids" in town (all of them late teens/young adults by the time your farmer moves in) were much older than him. Other than his brother and their father before the war, he did not have any playmates.
And that's why it just made my blood boil when one youtuber hated him for no reason
@@Gentle_readingunsurpassable z?
@@Abyrae he was like 2 when Jas and Shane moved tho
@@wolfieisacat13 I've never seen their ages confirmed anywhere in game, nor does anyone say how long it has been since Shane and Jas moved it. I put both Jas and Vincent in the 6 to 8 years old range. Even there, even a kid as young as 2 or 3 needs to play and socialise with other kids around their age. It is part of their development. When you look at it, most of the other kids in town (who are now grown adults like Sebastian, Penny, etc) grew up around each other. Vincent did not have that chance at first.
Maybe Vincent gives you clay, geodes, and the doll because he wants to be helpful to you? He probably gives you the doll because he sees you helping Gunther with the museum so he gives you something he found in the hope it's something missing. Clay maybe because he thinks you could make something useful from it. Geodes because, again, he's probably seen you helping Gunther with gems and knows you can get them from geodes. I think the gifts are probably just him trying to be helpful.
I like this idea and adopt it as my headcanon!
Aww, agreed! Not to mention, geodes seem like something kids like Vincent & Jas would find super cool. I mean, I know I thought rocks were awesome as a kid, but in the game, they’re basically lootboxes, right? I like to imagine the kids following you to Clint’s, excitedly peering over to see what’s inside of your cool new toys (while Penny holds them back from the forge).
When I was a kid I got a geode I think at a museum gift shop or something. I remember taking turns hitting it to break it open! I was too little to use the sledgehammer lol. Anyways yup, kids LOVE geodes! And if they don’t, the adventure of breaking it are still great.
Since we know he doesn’t like clay I think it makes it way more thoughtful, it’s like he’s having to do something he doesn’t like because he thinks that you would like it
yep! I like to think that he got the clay/dolls from geodes and probably finds it cool and thinks it would be useful to the player :')
You make a good point about Vincent being the more emotionally intelligent of the two kids. Maybe that's why he gives you clay - even though he doesn't like it himself, he recognizes that it's something you collect a lot of, therefore you must either like it or have a lot of need for it. That kind of empathy seems pretty advanced for someone his age.
Agreed
Fun detail about Vincent: when you're doing Birdie's quest, one of the last items is a wriggly worm. It's supposed to go to Willy, but if you give it to Vincent, he says it's cool but his mom would never let him keep it. I love little stuff like that in this game! :)
Yeah, there's a lot of fun little dialogues like that! When I got the flower I first thought of Evelyn because she looks after the gardens, and she said it reminded her of Emily, who said she had a friend from out of the valley who would love it!
I thought about both Willy and Vincent when I was doing that quest! Easily my favourite quest in the game, I love stuff like that so much.
But yeah, Willy loves it for bait, and Vincent loves searching for bugs
one time I took every quest item in the chain to the "wrong" people just to see what they'd say - plenty of fun
I like Vincent. He’s cute and adds some depth to the valley. Like you mentioned, the game wouldn’t feel the same if there were no kids around. Vincent and Jas makes the whole town more realistic. Even though he’s a little boring compared to other characters’ storylines, he’s just a little lad giving out trash presents on Christmas! Gotta love that
I like to think when the kids give you clay it's actually something they molded out of the clay that either got smushed or your farmer just fully couldn't tell what it was.
I like this, imma think this from now on
Jas gave me clay one year and I have it displayed on a table in my aquarium room
I always thought that Vincent shouldn't lose friendship with you if he catches you digging through the trash. He seems more the sort to giggle and tell you his mum won't let him do that. Especially since he already likes so much gross stuff. It'd be a nice little detail, I think.
i tried to give him bug meat but he thought it was gross :(
@@GlenCocoon try bug steak
@@arthurnieto2190 sadly both bug meat and bug steak are universal hates with no exception for vincent
@@GlenCocoon I guess he too has limits:(
@@arthurnieto2190 he should try it
Personally, I think Vincent performing poorly in terms of grades is deliberate so Miss Penny will spend more one-on-one time tutoring him and he excels in sports because he wants to show off for her.
Although this really puts his question of "are you going to marry Miss Penny" during Penny's 8 Heart event in a whole new light (jealous of you instead of innocent curiosity). He only asks this question if you aren't already married (if you are, he instead takes the opportunity to tease Jas).
Kids can develop crushes, but they obviously don't understand the implications of them and eventually grow out of them.
I really like that cutscene, because the things you say changes Vincent's dialogue. For example, there's one where he says Sam is very strong, because he saw Sam lift Penny out of a tree not long ago.
interestingly, if you are not dating penny she is really close to sam..i like them sitting on this little bridge together
As expected from Jas's comrade in crime. Smart move.
I think he also says he wants to marry Ms penny when he grows up
Vincent's existience seems to just be for the others around him more than him being an actual villager himself. Vincent is there so that Sam can have a little brother and a heartfelt cutscene, Vincent is there to talk about his father Kent and inform us about the war, Vincent is there so that Jas can have another kid to play with and to show that she's the 'smarter' kid, Vincent is there so that Jodi can really be that stay-at-home parent with no time leftover, Vincent is there for Penny to really be a teacher, teaching more than just Jas, etc. Vincent is just your generic child character, nothing special about him specifically, but what he is there to do is exemplify other villager's characters and stories.
Jesus I know it's just aa game but dammn that hurt
a piece of jigsaw that will fit in every puzzle but not in its own one
something i found interesting is that sam has to make reminders for himself in order to do important tasks (“Oh! I just remembered I'm supposed to call my Grandma. Okay, I'm going to put this rubber band on my wrist so I don't forget. I have to make little reminders for myself or else I'll totally forget to do things.”) a lot of times, people with ADHD or autism would have to make reminders for themselves in order to not forget. it has me thinking, sam probably has ADHD or the like, so it's not too unlikely that vince may have a learning disorder as well.
It's possible but he could also just be forgetful. Teenagers are like that (me having recently been one.) I'd really like to see more evidence for this though! Maybe we can tie the ADHD theory with his interests in music and skateboarding? I'd have to look into that more. And maybe he hyper fixates when he says "just a minute, I need to finish this level" and if there hours longer
@@kaitlynstaley1507 him practicing skateboarding tricks for hours and not letting me talk to him definitely screams hyper fixation (i have ADHD myself)
I feel called out for using about 20 post-it notes in order to keep track of everything I need for Stardew perfection.^^
I think it's super sweet that Vincent and Jas find out The Farmer uses clay and even though they both hate the stuff they go out of their way to find some for you (they can't just buy it they would have to go digging for it). Next level empathy for a kids their age 🥺
I like Vincent. He's a cute, sweet kid and not only do you become his favorite grownup, he will call you "uncle" or "auntie" when you marry Sam.
My dad was a marine and when I was a kid and my dad was on deployment it was very hard on my mom and I. When I was about Vincent's age though I thought of my dad as superman who would come back because ofcourse dad's gonna come back. As I got a little older the reality of my dad being just a person who could very well not come back was really hard to understand. The last deployment he went on was a tough one and honestly that first heart scene with Sam and Vincent made me tear up because it hit home in a way I didn't expect.
Vincent is just a kid living in a town full of adults with issues and problems. He's just trying to do his best find joy and I like him. He's a little of bit of fun in a serious town.
When to comes to info on war deaths, the radio in the house is set to the news station
Whoops lol Sorry George. 😅
i like vincent
he’s just the average sweet kid who’s trying his best to make people happy
and he kinda gives insight into how the war has affected the kids of the valley
pelican town is pretty closed off from everywhere else so it’s the main idea we get
If Jas and Vincent were late additions, I wonder what Penny did all day before them?
On the flip side Vincent goes out of his way to gather clay an item he can't stand knowing how useful it would be to the farmer.
one piece of dialogue that always bums me out is from vincent, when he says something along the lines of ‘i’m glad my dad is back but he seems different’ referring to kent’s ptsd
I'll have you know that I keep Vincent's clay gift on it's own special table in my house
So I always thought this was really cute and sweet. And then I got his lump of clay instead of the tea set that I've been hoping to get for the last five game years. *sad face*
About Vincent's toy in his room... Since Sam also interested in sky, space and alien, Vincent probably catch up on that.
Or Vincent killed an alien he found in forest and just try to hide it in his toy box.
NGL, That would either be Badass and makes him even more likable, or He killed one on accident and just didn't know what to do so he thought stuffing it into a Toy chest would resolve everything... And then forget about it...
Then again, there would be the matter of the smell... Ugh...
that escalated quickly
But Vincent having an active imagination doesn't make him dumb his learning style is probably different and him being creative is actually really cool! Idk I love the little dude.
I always thought he was just a sweet kid. I enjoy talking to him when I pass him in town.
Vincent cracks me up. Plus, he's a great judge of character. He knows he shouldn't talk to strangers, but I seem ok. And he's right.
i like that the family takes care of vincent. his mother is there for him and thinks of him, his dad looks over him, sam actively spends time with him at the beach... his a good big brother in my opinion! i think it would make sense if being nice to vincent gives you points with jodie, kent, or sam if they are close enough to see it... "oh...that farmer gave my kid/little brother grapes..how thoughtful of them :)" if its a healthy present you would get a heart reaction, if its candy just a "like" reaction! ok, if jodie sees you give him a snail it should be a dislike from her! hahahaaa anyways great video
I wish more window-dressing characters were as unabashedly Ponyo-style cute as Vincent.
What does window dressing mean?
@@kathiane29 sit there and look nice without needing any real substance if I remember correctly
Is given Clay as a present: Me happy since that is less clay I have to get!
Gets a cookie: Yay energy! XD
He might be displaying signs of dyslexia, given his struggles in reading and spelling. This also ties into this math skills, as dyslexia can cause confusion with place values e.g. units, tens, hundreds, and confusion between symbols such as + and x signs. This might be why he is only getting C's in math, as his dyslexia might be tripping him up.
Also, kids with dyslexia can sometimes have difficulty finding the word they’re looking for, there is also an elevated chance of them misspeaking.This could also explain why he is still having trouble with pronouncing certain words/letters, despite being at an age where this problem should be nearly gone.
I was thinking he might just have a super minor speech delay like a stutter. I don't think he does a whole lot of developmental speech work when there's only one other kid in town. It leaves little time for really talking and development.
I think that the secret statue in his room is like the monster in the closet; it likes strange buns bc that’s a monster-y thing, and makes sense why Vincent wouldn’t address it
Vincent is just precious. I love how he looks up to his dad and his older brother, how he whines about homework or about boiled beet, his imagination spots about living inside a giant egg. He makes me smile whenever I stop to talk to him.
I've always loved Vincent. He's a sweet and empathetic little kid who just wants to be helpful and explore the world. He also calls you Auntie/Uncle when you get high enough hearts with him which just melts my heart.
there's a little radio next to the couch in the living room. i wonder if vincent hears about the war when he's sitting in the living room. he always does look sort of depressed, looking down to the side when he's hanging out in there
You should do one about Leo next! That would be fascinating!
I only like vincent because of the fact that he just stares at a rock during the egg festival.
Literally just hopped on UA-cam to see this uploaded a minute ago. I’ve been truly blessed
Perfect timing, just finished binging the series so far. Loving these.
vincent is just a sweet little boy. i think he gives you the gifts he does because he finds them while playing outside. he's too little to really buy or make anything without asking his mom so he just gives you things he finds.
After previously making the observation that for me George sounds like Red Foreman, I would like to note that I always read Vincent's lines in Veronica Taylor's Ash Ketchum voice.
I actually love little Vincent. I think he's adorable.
Idk vincent strikes me as a sweet kid with an undiagnosed learning disability like adhd and well it's not like Harvey's a psychologist, and I imagine while Penny knows many things, she wouldn't be able to pick up on behavioural issues/learning struggles and see it for disability. And with a busy mother and an absent father, you're going to need an overactive imagination to entertain yourself. Maybe thats me talking from having been in similar shoes so i'm shooting over theory and headcanon into projection, but idk, it makes sense to me.
ADHD is not a learning disability. And he's just a rambunctious little boy, just like 80% of kids his age. Not every single character trait has to be linked back to neurodivergence, there's alot more to having ADHD than being an "energizer bunny".
Honestly its nice seeing a kid acting like a kid in this game lol
“Man that’s a big leap..”
Well you are LEAPalot
Okok I’ll see myself out
Most of my save files don’t have any clay which sucks when I need a bunch of silos so when Vincent gave me the clay I was so happy.
I see a lot of myself in Vincent. Like me, he shows signs of ADHD, he wants to do things he finds fun, he has trouble focusing on certain subjects (the ones most people find boring in school). All in all, I think he has ADHD, and isn't getting it treated
Sam has every ADHD symptom in the book, so it's very likely he and Vincent both have it. Multiple dialogues on all the reminders he has to make for himself to avoid forgetting things, hyperfixates on his interests, dialogues that hint at him suffering decision paralysis and having to impulsively decide what to do... I think Sam was never treated for his either.
Vincent it's been fourteen years, where's my present (?)
Great vid as usual! I love character dicection and uncomplicated characters are really important and charming. They make the mood and contrast with more complex characters, Vincent character doesn't need to be more than "good kid, bad at school".
Honestly Vincent is probably one of my favourite villagers because of how innocent and sweet he is. I also just like that one of his favourite items are the snails you can catch in crab pots, he’s just a sweet little dude
Am I the only person who thinks that the little kids in Stardew are freaking adorable lmao
Yes. 😊
@@Leapalot 😂😂😂
I GOT AN ADD FOR SWEET AND SPICY PEANUTS FORM THAT PEANUT MASCOT GUY
AND I WAS SAYING THAT THE TWO WONEN WERE LWSBIANS
AND I JUST HEAR
"People die if they are killed"
AND YOU DO NOT DESERVE THAT LEVEL OF FANTASTOC HUNOR
His grades looked really good to me! He also seems, like an actual normal character.
"Why does Vincent have a giant frog dinosaur toy" I think the question is why don't I have one? If I got something like that at Vincent's age I'd be thrilled! I put mine next to my greenhouse entrance.
The casual mention of the trials has me laughing. But also loving the trials ❤️
I'm loving these character dives!
At 5:30 you say Vincent is the only one many enough to talk about his crush but Clint talks about his crush too.
Wow leap this is an awesome channel analysis on Unsurpassable Z. My favorite kinda video 😂
Worth staying up to 2 am for
Shane and Sam are the two candidates I mostly choose, so befriending the kids in their lives seem like the right thing to do.
A woman of culture, I see. Sam and Shane are my main choices too, and I adore Vince and Jas. They're adorable and worth befriending on their own, and they are so important to Sam and Shane. I wish the kids came out to the farm to spend time with our spouses. Jas could help with the chickens, or Vincent could learn skateboarding. That would be so sweet!
@@FenrirInFlowers I hope for the two to visit once you wed either Sam or Shane. It would be awesome if they got to see their niece and nephew outside of holidays.
Vincent definitely doesn’t offer too much in the way of delicious theories or curiosities. I do like the cutscene where Vincent asks about the soldiers being “shot to pieces” because it raised the interesting question of how to approach serious conversations with kids-do we be honest or do we keep certain truths from them so they can enjoy childhood with fewer worries? While the second option is ideal because kids shouldn’t have to worry about so many things that it forces them to be stressed and upset growing up, not being honest makes it so they might learn the truth in a way that hurts them more-having a loved one explain things can be easier to digest and come to terms with.
All that said, while I like the conversation that this cutscene encourages, it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with Vincent other than him having the stressful situation of wanting his dad back and fearing he’s being killed somewhere in the world. He’s a great springboard for the conversation, but it could have been introduced in other ways. So, for me, Vincent can offer interesting topics to discuss, but he is mostly just a standard kid to me. I appreciate that he’s the easier child to gift things to; that’s about it. :)
Personally, I find it depends on the circumstance. If it's going to be an unavoidable reality for them, tell them the truth. However, if the outcome isn't set in stone, it's better to be optimistic with kids so they don't develop anxiety or depression for no reason.
Stardew Valley expanded does give him more dialogue showing how he's actually quite insecure and lonely about his dad not being the same, so maybe he is intelligent, in his own way.
Great series bro makes my evenings better
Vincent excelling in sports and not in the classroom is such a classic trope, reminds you that directly judging intelligence w school is foolish itself.
Vincent was my first gift giver and he gave me clay :( I imagine my farmer opening the box expecting something cool and it's just full of dirt
i always appreciate the spoiler warnings on your videos as sometimes i click on stardew videos to only see all new 1.5 clips with no spoiler warning
“Maybe it’s a fursuit” afagshdhss lmao
Vincent seems a very normal kid, maybe young for his age (whatever that is), and not super bright, but I think most of his statements are cute. I find him quite lovable. Also, did you forget the heart scene with Penny and the kids? He has a big role in cutting that one short. Guess that will come up later. As far as boring goes, all the villagers get boring after you've heard their dialogue 300 times. I think he's a lot less boring than Jodi, who does almost nothing but complain.
This kid gives me a clay that I can use to make a garden pot shed full of strawberries and I will *never* hate him for it.
naaaah robin giving me 50 stone for the winter star RIGHT AFTER I complete the 1K Stone special request and have 3k stone in my chests
I feel like Vincent is the better of the two because he doesn't feed cows live crawdads like Jas does
I love that at least Vincent loves snails. Make some crab pots, put in fresh water, hoard snails and load him up with snails for full friendship. Jas is... So hard to load with loved gifts.
Let's be honest...poor kid may as well have been homeschooled...gave me clay on feast of the Northstar...i gave him some wine cause I didn't bother to learn the names and who is who.
I think vincent is an underrated character
Abigail seems a little off
Whenever you give her a gemstone she says "thanks how did you know I was hungry?"
There's hints that Pierre isn't her real father
The real (boring) explanation behind that is that it was an oversight by Ape, but fans loved it, so he left it in.
The more fun explanation is that the Wizard is Abigail's father and she inherited some magical traits from him (beyond the purple hair that Caroline is absolutely lying about, have you seen what drinking her "tea" does?). Could be that she has latent magical energies that she replenishes by consuming gems, as Emily has proven to be susceptible to their energy (unlike Haley, that cutscene is hilarious).
@@LAZERAK47V2 I always figured that she was just making a joke.
@@jennifercavenee7572 Maybe, but she uses that line when you give her liked food too.
It's hard to tell with repeating dialogue.
WAIT
"that's a big leap" leap a lot
these videos have some theories that LEAP a LOT
I try really hard to be funny okay! 😅
Dayum, Shane looking smooth in this.
Hi!
vincent was my gift giver on my first year of my first playthrough . . . .
I actually gave vincent a "clay" for winter star event once
That Seannie dig 👀💀
I love my Seanie Dew. 😅
VINCENTS FURSUIT LMAOO
i straight up spoil both jas and vincent with cake or other sweets LOL
I remember this one time I had just literally proposed to penny and then I went to talk to Vincent like 5 seconds later and he was like, “I wanna marry ms penny when I grow up!” 😭
Vincent is so adhd coded. He's just like me fr fr
"I don't care if he's a kid, okay? It's a terrible gift and you're a terrible child!!"
-UnsurpassableZ, 2021
Too be faithful a lot of little kids are kinda just....here.
Its probably Gunther
Vincent is a cutie patootie
I think Vincent has several undiagnosed disabilities, including ADHD and a speech impediment (spwing onion dialogue). He doesn't seem to struggle with speech in any of his other dialogues, but it's pretty normal for a kid that went through speech therapy to still struggle with one specific word or sound. The "active imagination", the low grades in everything except physical activity, his curious nature, CA is basically shoving ADHD in our face with this guy. The way the adults in his life, especially penny, talk about him, make it basically irrefutable that he has ADHD. He might also have comorbid autism, as it seems he has a special interest with nature, specifically bugs and small animals, but most kids do. And the boy DEFINITELY needs therapy, I know personally how traumatic it is to worry about your dad dying at the ripe age of 7.
Or there just to make Jodi a mom of a young kid. 😅
Vincent gave me Clay in the winter star feast, so i gave it back
Imo Stardew suffers from the universal hate mechanic
I always got the vibe that Vincent has ADD/ADHD based on his behavior and Penny’s comment about it his active imagination.
I wanted to know more about those mystery statues. Vincent is the Red Oni to Jas's Blue Oni: she's colder and intelligent and he's warmer and emotive. You have a lot of examples of this trope in Superman and Batman, Naruto and Sasuke, Ryu and Ken... I don't find the boy boring but can't say I'm invested in his entire family for more than achievements.
2:40
5:10
Duh Vincent is with the ailens. Clearly you missed some key details.
I'm kidding guy's he's right kid is kinda just there XD
Let's hope Gus isn't watching
Gus is always watching.
Little dude also seems like he may have ADHD, but thats my observation as someone with ADHD
Jas > Vincent
His dad is Army (if his green shirt parallels the US, anyway). And dialogue refers to the army, which is a separate branch from
both marines and navy. Don’t insult an army man by calling him a marine lol.
