» Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children » Characters

Note that these characters and the information is based upon the prequel to this film, the PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII, and also what has been shown by the trailers released. The names of the characters have been taken straight from the official website on Square-Enix's Japanese website.

	Cloud Strife The main character of the movie, and was also the main character of the game prequel Final Fantasy VII. After killing Sephiroth, Cloud let Midgar be able to live in peace. But, Cloud feels as if a reunion is coming, and finds himself mixed up in what seems to be not only a new battle, but another battle that will be fought for the second time.
	Sephiroth The main villain, and also the arch enemy of Cloud. Even though he died in the game, it seems Sephiroth plays a major role in the movie. Could Sephiroth have a relation to this "reuinion"? Could he be apart of this battle? And why are their flashbacks of when Cloud saw Sephiroth walking through the flames after Nibelheim was burned down?
	Kadaj Little is known about this mysterious new villain, but it seems he worships another mysterious character, and is possibly doing someone's dirty work by out to kill Cloud. Kadaj is seen bowing down to someone in a white robe. Who is he possibly bowing down to? Is Kadaj a descendant of Sephiroth? What is his purpose in the "reunion"?
	Yazoo Yet another new and mysterious villain added onto the odds Cloud and the gang must overcome. This villain has a slight resemblence to Kadaj. Is there any relation between the two? Several scenes show Yazoo trying at all costs to kill Cloud, and also plays a role in the "reunion" that Cloud speaks about. Is Yazoo a link in the reunion, or just another villain?
	Tifa Lockheart Yes, Cloud's childhood friend is back! She looks like she's ready to kick some butt more than ever. She is seen fighting Loz throughout some scenes, and is sometimes seen with Cloud. Is she fighting to help Cloud, or to discover what this reunion is? Or is she doing it for Aeris?
	Vincent Valentine The mysterious but cool ally is also apart of Advent Children. It seems Vincent is trying to find a purpose to the reunion as well, and feels like someone from the past is trying to make connections with this reunion, but who? With his curiousity as his guide, Vincent makes his way into the war.
	Barret Wallace Barret is back in action. Still holding a gun on his arm, you can only hope he has the same attitude. Ready to help his friends and allies in need, Barret joins the fight unwilling to back down. But what is Barret's true cause to fight? Just like in the game, he has his own reasons to fight, which is the only reason he chooses to play a role.
	Loz Just another mysterious and new villain added onto the odds the party must overpower. Not much is known about him, and he is not seen very often either. Clips are shown of him fighting with Tifa, and it seems like he enjoys it very much. Is he a link to the reunion? He is also shown with some members of the Turks. Does he have a relation to them?
	Marlene The daughter of Dyne, the lovable and sweet child from the game is still around. Just like in the game, it seems she only has one main purpose. But what is it? So far, it has not been made clear. What kind of effect will the war have on her with Barret involved? What is planned for her in the movie?
	Cid Highwind The pilot has returned. Still carrying around his spear, and still wearing his goggles for flight, it seems Cid hasn't changed much. But that's a good thing, because his attitude always had him ready for a fight. Who does Cid fight in this? Does he play a role in the reunion?
