Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second chapter in the Final Fantasy VII reboot trilogy, bringing players out of Midgar for the first time and allowing them to explore iconic locations from the original game. It picks up after the events of 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake with the party having just left the city and preparing to track down Sephiroth, meaning there's still plenty of story to tell.

Here are all of the playable characters in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Main character Cloud unsurprisingly returns in this middle chapter of the Final Fantasy VII reboot, and he's still wielding his iconic Buster Sword and giving off his usual moody vibes as he moves closer to understanding his mysterious past.

Cloud's childhood best friend, Tifa, is back for round two to expand on her complicated, traumatic backstory and bring plenty of martial arts for laying the smackdown on enemies.

Perhaps one of gaming's most beloved characters, the kind and heartwarming Aerith makes a return as a mage archetype who is barreling towards a potentially earth-shattering climax in part two of this story.

Everyone's favorite swear-happy tough guy, Barret, is back in action with no shortage of bullets to unload from his gun arm--but he also faces some devastating blasts from the past in this middle
