Characters
Cloud Strife is the main protagonist, introducing himself as a former member of SOLDIER who now operates as a mercenary. Cloud is caught up in the actions of eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, and although initially uncaring toward their mission, he has a change of heart when he begins to discover his shrouded past.
Barret Wallace, the leader of AVALANCHE who wields a gun on his right arm in place of his injured hand. Despite his brash and loud-mouthed personality, he is a caring person and loves his daughter Marlene.
Tifa Lockhart, Cloud’s childhood friend and member of AVALANCHE, runs the bar 7th Heaven in the Sector 7 slums, which serves as the group’s hideout. Her sympathetic exterior hides fearsome fighting skills.
Aeris Gainsborough, a flower girl from the Sector 5 Slums who befriends Cloud. Cloud’s resemblance to someone she used to know mystifies Aeris, and she joins him and AVALANCHE on their quest to discover more about her heritage.
Red XIII is a quadrupedal, flame red beast capable of speech. The party rescues him from capture by Shinra. He speaks little, but when he does, his words are often important.
Cait Sith, a robotic cat atop a stuffed Mog, operates as a fortune teller at the Gold Saucer. He shouts commands to his Mog in battle using a megaphone.
Cid Highwind, the foul-mouthed, chain-smoking pilot of Rocket Town dreams of being the first man in space. His dreams were foiled when he was forced to abort the mission. Despite his bitter attitude, Cid has a good heart and cares about his friends.
Optional characters

Like Red XIII, he speaks little but offers helpful advice when he does.
