History Awesome / Catherine

* Also, the fact that nearly everyone is ''totally on board'' with Vincent and Rin's relationship. Jonny is pissed due to what it means for Katherine and even punches Vincent, but begrudgingly accepts it. Orlando is utterly baffled at first due to Vincent outing himself to be bisexual, and Rin's gender, but quickly decides to roll with it. That kind of reveal could've gone far worse, and it demonstrates how strong these guys' friendships are. The most telling reaction comes from Erica, who was famously outed as a transwoman in the original game. Not only did she become Rin's best friend early in the game and it's made clear she knew about Rin's gender all along, but she's visibly concerned and angry when Vincent admits that he panicked over Rin's UnsettlingGenderReveal and caused him to run away. She immediately [[WhatTheHellHero tells Vincent to call Rin and apologize,]] listens intently when Vincent desperately tries to fix his mistake over the phone, and ends up being the couple's biggest ShipperOnDeck once Vincent makes his decision. This entire scenario approaches the homosexuality subject matter far, ''far'' better than the original game.

* If you take Rin's romance route in Full Body, you'll see Vincent [[TookALevelInBadass gradually become awesome throughout the story.]] Their relationship ends up being the most healthy of three options, because Rin loves Vincent unconditionally and unlike the other women, doesn't manipulate him or have a separate agenda. Despite his initial shock over [[UnsettlingGenderReveal Rin being male]], Vincent quickly gets over himself and realizes he's in love as well. He becomes ''way'' more decisive and upfront about his feelings, to the point he publicly outs himself as bisexual to his friends and everyone else in The Stray Sheep, and promises to figure out a way to make it work along with taking responsibility for Katherine's pregnancy. Near the end of the game, he confidently tackles Mutton's final gauntlet to save Rin, and they easily dismiss his homophobic ranting with a heartfelt KirkSummation. This is taken UpToEleven in the finale, when Rin's [[AngelicAliens brother]] shows up to take him home, furious that he's fallen for a mere human, and forces Vincent into a final gauntlet to test his worth. If he loses, Rin has to leave, and [[EarthShatteringKaboom the Earth will be obliterated by meteors.]] Not only does Vincent fearlessly take on this final challenge, he pulls it off spectacularly. He manages to secure Rin's freedom and future with him, and ''save the entire human race from extinction''. That's a ''huge'' step up from the flaky drunkard he started as. Plus in this route Vincent figured out that Mutton was involved in the nightmares unlike the other routes where he accidentally gets Mutton to tell the truth not only is he more badass in the Rin route but he’s also smarter as well.

** Which overlaps with SugarWiki/FunnyMoments when you remember that said boss is the infamous conjoined, lustful lovers monster.

* Vincent's challenge to Boss/Thomas Mutton. Erica even comments on it.
** Slightly before that, Boss/Thomas Mutton threatens Vincent with more nightmares for pushing the issue. Instead of backing down, Vincent ''threatens to stab him to death''.
*** The very fact that he threatened to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu stab a god to death]], and that, one would assume immortal, god was scared of him speaks volumes.

* More of a meta-example, but if ''you'', the player, can beat all stages of [[BonusDungeon Babel]], all of which are [[HarderThanHard much harder than the other levels]], you are definitely a master of ''Catherine''.
** Which is made even more awesome with the following cutscene, where Trisha, AKA Ishtar, the babylonic goddess of love, puts on her best look and "rewards" the player.

* Meta example: [[https://www.destructoid.com/the-upcoming-catherine-remake-was-made-with-the-competitive-community-in-mind-479650.phtml the developers of the Catherine: Full Body]] remake acknowledging that the multiplayer aspect is being made with the competitive community in mind shows how much Creator/{{Atlus}} pay attention to the community of a smaller, less mainstream game and is further rewarding for [[https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/11/an-inside-look-at-the-competitive-catherine-gaming.html several key members]] who put significant time and effort into helping the community grow despite the original game's lack of online multiplayer and keeping the game in the spotlight years after release.
* Another meta: Ah... remember those days in the late 2000's when there's this voice actor known as Creator/TroyBaker, who has an awesome voice and became so popular in voicing anime-based games he started branching into western medias and found his great popularity there after at one point he did Vincent? These days, he rarely did anime-based roles, so maybe Atlus would attempt to cut cost for the game's remake, just like Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Definitive Edition'', so I guess we would have to bear for a replacement and hope it's good... {{NOT}} Atlus managed the impossible, Creator/TroyBaker [[RoleReprise is back as Vincent!]]

* After spending the entire game messing with Vincent and the other sheep, it's ''immensely'' satisfying to see [[spoiler: Mutton]] being reduced to a pathetic, terrified wreck when faced with the sheer might of [[spoiler: Rin's [[AngelicAliens brother.]]]]
* It's revealed that Rin [[spoiler: [[MagicMusic has the power to change people's prejudices and bloom new possibilities through his music.]]]] Vincent was able to go such incredible lengths because of Rin's support.
