Final Fantasy 7
Characters
In this section I will tell you all the main characters, something about them(so you can get an idea of what they're like), and how they join your team.
I put the characters in the order you can get them. You might get some of them in a different order or you might not have them at all. For example Vincent. Vincent you can only get by getting talking to him in his coffin. He is an optional character and doesn't need to be in your team to progress through the game, but I will tell you how you can get him further in this section.
Note:The clues to the combination to the safe may not be word for word, but I will tell you how to find the clues.
- Cloud-The main character in Final Fantasy VII.Originally a member of SOLDIER, he is now a mercenary who will take any job.
You start out with Cloud at the beginning of the game.
- Barret-Head of the underground resistance movement, AVALANCHE, Barret is fighting the mega-conglomerate Shinra, Inc.
Barret joins your team at the beginning before you go to blow up the first mako reactor.
- Tifa-Bright and optimistic, Tifa always cheers up the others when they're down.
Tifa joins your team when you get back to sector 7 after you blow up the mako reactor.
- Aeris-Young, beautiful, and somewhat mysterious, Aeris met Cloud while selling flowers on the streets of Midgar.
Aeris becomes part of your team after you fall off the walkway when you defeat the boss after blowing up the second reactor.
- Red XIII-Just as his name implies, he is an animal with fire-red fur.
Red XIII joins your party when you go rescue Aeris from the Shinra building.
- Cait Sith-Cait Sith rides around on the back of a huge stuffed Mog he magically brought to life.
You meet Cait Sith at the Golden Saucer his job there is being a fortune teller.
- Vincent-A mystical man, stern and upright while at the same time dark and mysterious.
Vincent is an optional character and doesn't need to be in your team to progress through the game. You can get him when you reach Nibelhiem (not in the story when you first reach Kalm). I will not tell you the combinations to the safe just how to get the numbers.
- When you reach Nibelhiem go into the mansion that you first see when you reach Kalm.
- When you go into the mansion go into the little room on the left. You will see something on the floor read it.
- It tells somethings about the person who wrote it and about something that he locked up. After it tells you this it will say there is another letter here and it will give you a choice to read on or to stop reading. Choose to read on.
- It will give you four combinations to a safe, but it only shows three, why is that? Well if you notice on the bottom of the text screen there will be a space and you can select it. The fourth combination is written in invisible ink(no hint just the combination). So now you have the fourth combination to the safe.
- The first clue says "in the box with the most oxygen". Go up the stairs and to the room on the left. You will see a room with plants. Go in there and start moving around and hitting the "ok" button.
- The second clue says "the crack behind the tea of short and ray". They mean a piano. So in the first room go to the room on the left. You will see a piano go behind it and start hitting the "ok" button.
- The third clue "from the rocking chair go..." it tells you to go up, left, or down so many steps. Go up the stairs and in the room to the right. Go in the room where you first had to go into the basement but don't go into the basement. In that room will be a rocking chair. From that rocking chair follow the directions the clue gave you. I will just tell you where you find the combination. Go to the room at the far top and in the hallway just outside the door hit the ok button(you might have to move around a bit).
- Now go into the area where you found the first clue you will find a safe now you have 60 seconds to put in the four combination that you just found. You cannot pass the number either.
- Once you open the safe you will find a boss(Lost Number). Once you defeat him you will get a key. Get the red materia that he just dropped in order to summon Odin. Then go to the safe and you will find Red XIII's level four limit break.
- Now go to the basement. You know the wall that had a door on it but was locked. Well now you can open it.
- Go into the room. The room is full of coffins. It looks like this room has no point to it but go to the coffin in the middle and hit the ok button. A guy will pop out this is Vincent. After you get done talking to him he will go back into his coffin. Talk to him again and leave the room and he will change his mind and join your party.
- Yuffie-Although you'd never know it by looking at her, Yuffie comes from a long line of Ninja.
Yuffie is also an optional character. You can get her after you get the buggie.
- Go to the forrest just south of Cosmo Canyon.
- Keep moving around until you get into a battle. If a girl shows up its Yuffie.
- After you beat her you will show up in a field with a save point. Do not go to the save point.
- When she asks you to fight her again say no.
- When she asks you if your afraid of her say yes. She will ask you this twice.
- On the last question just say your leaving.
- Cid-Cid is a tough-talking, warm hearted old pilot who han't forgotten his dreams.
He joins your team when you reach Rocket Town after you stop the Shinra from steeling the Tiny Bronco.
