History Awesome / Catherine

* True Ending of the original game's Cheater Route: [[spoiler:Vincent becomes an Incubus. Credits show him kicking all kinds of Netherworld ass, and the final clip shows Vincent with full ram horns sitting on a throne, with Catherine, and dozens of others like her at each limb, all announcing various lustful things about him and his awesomeness. The deal is sealed by the fact that Nergal IS HIS THRONE.]]
** Made even more awesome by the fact that [[spoiler:he took over the Netherworld ''in his'' '''''underwear''''']]. That right there is all sorts of badass.
** [[spoiler:It's notable in its own way that, after so much fumbling around women, Vincent is perfectly at ease surrounded by the other succubi, and while Catherine acknowledges they are "wrapped around his finger", he doesn't respond to their advances, merely allowing them to fawn over him while he clearly only has eyes for Catherine, who he keeps snuggled against the whole time.]]
* Vincent's challenge to [[spoiler:Boss/Thomas Mutton]]. Erica even comments on it.
** Slightly before that, [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:he threatened to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu stab a god to death]], and that, one would assume immortal, god was scared of him]] speaks volumes.

** Which is made even more awesome with the following cutscene, where [[spoiler:Trisha, AKA Ishtar, the babylonic goddess of love, puts on her best look and "rewards" the player.]]

* Vincent fearlessly telling off [[spoiler: Mutton/Dumuzid]] at the end of the Final Stage.
-->'''Vincent''': ''[[spoiler:...From now on, my life is my own!!]]''
* [[spoiler:Even though it was a dream and she was never pregnant in the first place]], you have to give Katherine props for climbing the tower while ''in heels'' and [[spoiler:apparently]] ''with child''.

* The True Neutral Ending. [[spoiler:Vincent realizes that he can't truly commit to either woman, and promises to improve on himself first and pursue his dreams of space tourism, which he gets the chance to after winning big on a wrestling match.]]
* Full Body's New ending for Catherine; [[spoiler: Instead of Vincent taking over Netherworld, Catherine manages to travel back in time to Vincent's high school days, getting his attention first and subsequently keeping the whole mess that caused the game's events from happening.]]

* When you hit continue after Vincent dies during a puzzle, he will sometimes say with conviction, "''Now's not the time to be dead!''" What a Determinator.

* When continuing, Vincent will sometimes say "Now's not the time to be dead." So. Manly.

* 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/BandaiNamco 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 [[RoleReprisal is back as Vincent!]]

* Full Body's revised True Cheater ending; [[spoiler: Instead of Vincent taking over Netherworld, Catherine manages to travel back in time to Vincent's high school days, getting his attention first and subsequently keeping the whole mess that caused the game's events from happening. It's also implied that Jonny successfully hooked up with Katherine in place of Vincent. Now that's something.]]

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

* On a overall level, despite Vincent apparently not being so great dealing with relationship issues, him being a {{Determinator}} when things go wrong to the point of the other sheeps eventually looking up to him as a leader.

* 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''.
