Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Which is the Best Character? Tier List

There are 7 playable characters for your main party in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but only 3 can be active at a time so it’s important to know which character is the best!

The main four from Remake return, accompanied by newcomers Red XII, Yuffie, and Cait Sith. Of course, we also got to play as Yuffie back in Interlude. But, this is her first time joining the main party in the FF7 Remake trilogy!

Anyway, we’ll look at all the party members that can you join Cloud’s main party and rank them from best to worst based on their overall usefulness in battle.

Which is the Best Character? Tier List | Main Party Members from Best to Worst

Cloud

Cloud – It should come as no surprise to anybody, but good ol’ Cloud is by far the best character. As the protagonist, he simply has no match when it comes to combat!

Aerith

Aerith is basically a must-have in your party. Her magical abilities make her the best support you could ever have, thanks to her Wards, but she’s also more than capable of dishing out damage!

Tifa

The agile pugilist is extremely easy to use, and her powerful Focused Strike can Stagger foes in the blink of an eye. As you know, Stagger is key to dealing huge damage, so she excels thanks to that!

Yuffie

Agile and capable of damaging foes with ease both in close and long range. She can charge up ATB faster than most other characters thanks to her extreme attack speed, but is rather fragile.

Red XII

Extremely fast and capable of closing gaps with foes within seconds, Red XIII can overwhelm foes with his speed. His only issue is that his Vengeance Mode can be hard to use, as it relies on blocking.

Barret

Barret keeps his allies safe by tanking the bulk of damage himself but has a pretty lacking damage output. He can excel at Staggering foes, though, and also has one of the best Synergy Skills in the game!

Cait Sith

Still an oddball, just like in the original Final Fantasy 7. He can summon a Moogle to help in combat, which changes his moveset. Still, he’s hard to use effectively and relies too much on luck for most people’s tastes…

So, there you have it, all the main playable characters in FF7 Rebirth from best to worst. At least when it comes to gameplay, that is.

Too bad Vincent doesn’t join the party in this…
