Square Co., Ltd.'s Final Fantasy VII was one of the first major computer role-playing games released for the Sony PlayStation and was Square's largest game at the time. Since then, Square has expanded the storyline by adding new games and other content, all set in the same fictional world. This work in progress is called the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and so far fills four video games, two animated movies and two books. This expanded Final Fantasy VII storyline has featured a cast of dozens of major and minor characters.
Cast creation and influence
Producer Yoshinori Kitase stated that voice acting was one of the topic to which the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII team paid close attention. The voice actors which debuted in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children were kept for all the other titles of the project. As Cloud and Vincent have similar personalities, care was taken to differentiate them and their lines.
Central characters
Cloud Strife
Main article: Cloud StrifeCloud Strife ( クラウド・ストライフ , Kuraudo Sutoraifu ? ) is the game's primary protagonist and a self-proclaimed ex-SOLDIER-turned mercenary employed by AVALANCHE. Initially, Cloud is confused and conflicted with an occasionally arrogant attitude and a cool disposition, until a traumatic experience in the Lifestream helps him discover lost memories of his true self. He wears a purple/dark blue SOLDIER uniform and is distinguished by his glowing blue eyes (a sign of having been exposed to a large amount of mako). He has spiky blond hair, a trait that is meant to clearly distinguish him from the game's primary antagonist, Sephiroth. He wields an over sized sword in combat.
Aerith Gainsborough
Main article: Aerith GainsboroughAerith Gainsborough ( エアリス・ゲインズブール , Earisu Geinzubūru ? ) (romanized as Aeris Gainsborough in the original Final Fantasy VII game but retconned as Aerith in later publications) is a flower girl on the streets of Midgar, sought after by Shinra's research department because she is the last of the Cetra. She asks Cloud to be her bodyguard after a run-in with the Turks, and subsequently joins AVALANCHE. Aerith has long brown hair she keeps in a braid with pink bows and vivid green eyes, and wears a red mini-jacket with a pink dress.
Vincent Valentine
Main article: Vincent ValentineVincent Valentine ( ヴィンセント・ヴァレンタイン , Vinsento Varentain ? ) is a dark, brooding, and sardonic man whose heart has been numbed by a tragic love (he loved Lucrescia Crescent, and she saved him after he was shot by Hojo when Vincent discovered that Lucrescia was part of an experiment (the Jenova project, from which Sephiroth was born) implanting in his body one of the weapons (the most lethal weapon: chaos) and the protomateria into Vincent to control chaos), Vincent is a former Turk gunman who was experimented on by Hojo approximately thirty years before the start of the game, and consequently failed to age and developed superhuman abilities and characteristics. After the numerous experiments and help of the protomateria, Vincent is able to transform into other demons while having nearly complete control. Cloud and the others eventually discover him sleeping inside a coffin in the basement of the Shinra Mansion, where he joins them in their quest. (Vincent also starred in his own game, Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus for the Playstation 2.)
Sephiroth
Main article: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)Sephiroth ( セフィロス , Sefirosu ? ) : Sephiroth is known to be the most powerful member of SOLDIER ever, and rose to a prominent rank at an early age. After a traumatic incident in which he learned of what he assumed to be his true origins, he left SOLDIER and indeed civilization altogether with plans to become a god-like power by wounding the Planet with Meteor and absorbing the entirety of the Lifestream sent to heal the damage. He manipulates Cloud (and the party, by extension) over the course of the game, as well as killing Aerith.
Sephiroth is also a member of the party for a very short period (during a flashback sequence), however he is totally controlled by the computer during combat and the player cannot change his equipment and materia. Sephiroth is also personified by his primary weapon the powerful Masamune sword which he uses to inflict large amounts of damage.
Sephiroth is destroyed by Cloud at the end of the game, however, he returns for a short time in the sequel Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children where he takes over the body of Kadaj only to be defeated by Cloud again. However he warns Cloud that he will "Never be a memory" indicating that he will return once more to challenge Cloud.
Zack Fair
Main article: Zack FairZack Fair ( ザックス・フェア , Zakkusu Fea ? ) is a non-player character from the game Final Fantasy VII , and the protagonist of its prequel, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII . He appears only in flashback sequences, which portray him as almost identical to Cloud Strife (the game's main playable character) in physical appearance except for his black hair. When strung together, the sequences explain a great deal about Cloud's past and his connection to Sephiroth, the game's arch-villain. He also wielded the Buster Sword before Cloud.
Zack was born in the town of Gongaga, where he lived until he left to join Shinra's militant force SOLDIER. Years later, he went to Nibelheim to investigate the nearby Mako reactor which had been malfunctioning. However, during the investigation Sephiroth discovered the truth behind his origins and went on a rampage destroying the Nibelheim village. Zack eventually confronted Sephiroth in a duel only to be defeated easily. Following the battle both he and Cloud were used by Hojo as test specimens. However Zack managed to escape after four years and carried the incapacitated Cloud with him to freedom. While on the run, Zack fights for both Cloud and himself for their freedom from ShinRa. They were spotted riding the back of a truck headed to Midgar, where Cloud was scooped to get sniped, but Zack was able to get Cloud out of the way before he was shot. Zack and Cloud get out of the truck, taking cover among the rocks in the desert. Zack sets Cloud down in a safe area, making sure he wouldn't get hurt, and he goes to confront ShinRa and the Turks. They make it out safely, but are later engaged in another battle, and Zack dies with the surviving Cloud at his side. It is after this that Cloud begins to adopt Zack's personality traits, memories, even habitual gestures, as his own. This was in the Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core game and Final Fantasy: Last Order
Zack met Aerith five years before the game began, and was her first crush. It's possible that they may have been dating for as many as two years, however, the specifics of their relationship are still unknown. It does however, state that in Final Fantasy 7, Aerith had an ex-boyfriend in SOLDIER.
Zack re-appears in Advent Children mostly in flashbacks but later as a part of the lifestream alongside Aerith.

Barret Wallace
Barret Wallace ( バレット・ウォーレス , Baretto Wōresu ? ) is a main character in Final Fantasy VII. He is voiced by Masahiro Kobayashi in the original Japanese publications of the Compilation and by Beau Billingslea in the English dubs. In the original game, Barret is the leader of the paramilitary organization known as AVALANCHE. He is opposed to the use of Shinra’s mako technology, which he believes to be killing the planet. Barret also has a gun-arm, which replaced the hand he lost after an attack by the Shinra Company.
Barret grew up in the small, coal mining village of Corel. He advocated cooperating with Shinra to build a mako reactor in Corel, as he believed that it would lead to an easier life for Corel's people. After the reactor was built — much to the dissatisfaction of Barret's best friend, Dyne, however — anti-Shinra terrorists (also known as "AVALANCHE") attacked the reactor, and — believing that they may have been operating within Corel — Shinra responded to the incident by indiscriminately burning down the town of Corel, killing many citizens, including Barret's wife Myrna. He and Dyne were not in the village as the attack began, and when they tried to return, they were attacked by Shinra troops led by Scarlet. Though Barret survived, his right forearm was hit by gunfire and rendered useless when he tried, in vain, to preve
