I agree, Cloud, Barret, Yuffie and Cid are the top tier characters to use, I must say that if Aeris is playable till the end of the game, then your party is truly invincible. She is top tier in terms of support.
Yeah Cid is really good. His Highwind limit break is extremely powerful and his Scimitar weapon is one of only two in the game that gives triple AP growth. So Cid has a major advantage in that he is extremely helpful for leveling up materia in the game.
Cait Sith is so tough for me because he is actually pretty damn good in disk 2 and solid in disk 1 but absolutely falls off in disk 3 His scaling with the default slot attack, toy box will in most cases be rather nice in disk 1 and 2 and somewhere along the line, one of the more common slot attacks toy soldiers starts doing really good damage by disk 2. But having no multi hit in disk 3 content drives him down so much, even as Cait Sith’s strongest defender he simply just can’t keep up with some of these insane damage multi-hit limits usually unlocked in disk 3 or very late disk 2
I feel like I'm one of the very few that actually uses Cait Sith since I learned how to rig the slots to get Game Over which is the most OP limit break in the game though it is not easy to pull off and can be hard at times. He makes for a great mage too with high magic stats
@@FreeSephs When pretty much everyone is hitting max damage, the high magic stat isn't as good, it works but due to having no multi-hit Limit he is unable to practically keep up with others. Same reasons as Vincent who has the highest magic stat in the game. He is plenty viable, as is everyone, but I wouldn't take him to weapon fights. Again he is genuinely one of my favorite characters but he just struggles to keep up in super boss encounters, as do a few others. But, he works plenty well for all other main story content
The devs did him dirty although he's a vital story character, they just gave him 2 limit breaks, not 4 like Vincent. And his limits are just so crappy.
In casual play yeah he kinda sucks and fails to keep up with multi hitting moves. In LL runs however he is invaluable as he is your best source of healing in that context specially on challenges that also limit materia usage
Vincent’s magic stat is so exploitable I’m shocked none of the many ways to make him demolish enemies affected your placement. Vincent’s ultimate weapon’s gimmick for attack doesn’t really matter cuz he’s not an attacker. His ultimate weapon in reality is Ultima. Pair that with MP Turbo, and fill him with the most magic increasing summons and materia and nothing can stop him. Min Max his Magic and turbo ultima for an easy beast
It’s always a toss up for me between yuffie Barrett and cid as my perma party. I tend to never stop using yuffie tho after conformed because she is just that good
Old comment I know, but I remember Yuffie also healing a healing limit break and she was really fast too. I think young me used Yuffie as a replacement for Aeris when she died.
Going off the magic stat, Cait Sith and Vincent are next best. Going off supportive limits, Yuffie has a healing limit and Red XIII has an enhancing limit or two. Also, Cloud has pretty high magic and is almost always in the party, so he could be the fallback healer after Aeris.
I agree with everything except only one thing... Vincent is worse than Cait Sith. His limit is nothing but useless. Not having a limit break at all is even better than having the attack option 'unavailable' because his limit meter is full. Sorry Vince :( Also Cait sith is able to oneshot any enemy, including the weapons and final bosses with the slot-trick. So depending on definition; he is the best.
Im playing FF7 rn for the first time and im still in disk 2 (after the submarine mission) and honestly i just love Vincent. The fact that his limit makes him uncontrollable is a plus to me cuz then i dont need to keep menu'ing for damage while the action bar of the enemy fills up. Yeah sure he might heal some enemy with his attacks, it happened to me, but if that doesnt happen then hes so good. Again im a beginner in this game and im probably wrong, but he just feels good. Good list though in case i have trouble in the end game
Think I wound up with cloud, tifa, and yuffie at the end. Maybe cid instead of tifa at the end. But once you are refularly hitting damage cap the multihit limits wind up being absolutely broken.
Cid is great not only for his triple growth weapon but he also has a five slot double growth weapon, which if I'm not mistaken is the most on a single piece of equipment. (with double growth)
Yuffie is solid since she can attack from the back row with the same DPS of being in the front row. Her level 3 limit is also super strong. Highest luck in the game means better chances to steal and land crits.
Just started playing this game a few weeks ago thanks for the info, just wanted to ask is using a lower tier character going to make it very hard for me to beat bosses at the end? Because i really like red 13 and vincent
the game is not about the tier of the characters but the tier of your materia collection because that gives you powerful skills, abilities, magic, summons, command, support, etc. You need to level them up in max to use their full potential. You can beat the game with any character you want.
Best team combos imo are Cloud, Cid and Yuffie. Not only is this the most OP team imo but they get along surprisingly well, both have their goofy moments but its always a good laugh. Then its og Barrett and my gal Tifa. I always pair these two together because they were part of the original gang and know eachother so well. Besides that they make a great team. I would always pair Red with Aerith. Both were unique characters. Both intune with the plannet and both connected by Hojo. Aerith loved Red and since they met, they were great friends. Later I would pair Red with Vincent (they got a lot in common, both hate hojo) both kinda unique with their beast like abilities, and both old and wise. They bounce off eachother with their wisdom and intellect and together they make a fierce team. And then there's cait sith.... well... lets just say, he just stands in the corner.
FF7 original: *Makes Cait Sith the worst character* FF7 Rebirth: “That’s a lot of damage. How about some more!” *Forces a solo fight with Yin and Yang*
Most of these List keep forgetting that you can one shot any enemy in the game with Cait Sith. If you put just a little effort into understand how his limit break works, it's not luck based
I’m replaying the original for the first time in 30+ and half way through the game I find Vincent + All + deathblow to be really effective at clearing groups of enemies (not so much single target). So surprised he is so low on the list (but, as I said, not played in 30’years so no expert on the game)
Vincent is useful in challenge runs at least because his transformations boost his stats in really handy ways. Death Gigas and Chaos are both very useful when you're banning various other things. Cait Sith is marginally useful as an instant win button when you can't find another way to win a battle with weird self-imposed conditions and need to simply continue the game. So in other words he still sucks :P
I think a lot of kids loved Vincent because he was like a vampire who's name was Vincent. I thought he was dumb because you had to go through trouble to get him, he has a dumb claw for an arm (like why?) and his stats are so mid that 10 year old me could tell he wasn't effective whatsoever
Me personally I’d put Aerith lower than Vincent. I’ve been playing FF7 and so far Vincent is a perfectly fine character who does more damage than Barret, even when I first got him and they were more even. While Aerith can be a good support character and has high magic, anyone else can equip magic and do good damage. Her limit breaks not being able to do damage also brings her down for me because you can’t just save limit breaks for later and do a normal attack, so say if Aerith runs out of MP, she’ll just be sitting there defending until she needs to use her limit break.
I knew this guy would know his stuff when I heard the lisp
Saying cait sith sucks he's high af😂😅😂

Who TF is aeris
Cloud, tifa, yuffie and cid are always my go to in my squad. Aerith would be in there too if she didnt, well ya know
Cid is a must for the party. What a legend.
Yeah Cid is really good. His Highwind limit break is extremely powerful and his Scimitar weapon is one of only two in the game that gives triple AP growth. So Cid has a major advantage in that he is extremely helpful for leveling up materia in the game.
@@ShockStormRPGnot only that, he looks like a badass with his lance
Cloud, Barret, Cid. Best party with &@%*%! language :):)
@@DRHFILMSCloud Barret Vincent 😂😅 too op 😅😂
Not overly 😅
My fav. Combo is Cloud, Yuffie and Cid !
Cloud, Yuffie and Cid are awesome!
This was my end game party as well. Switch out Yuffie for Barret when not needing to morph enemies
Same here it's my favorite party members
same homie
I just used Cloud, Barret, Tifa when I first played this game cause they were the most familiar due to being playable early

isn't his attack stat greater tho? his final limit break also seems really good
It’s always a toss up for me between yuffie Barrett and cid as my perma party. I tend to never stop using yuffie tho after conformed because she is just that good
Yeah Cloud, Yuffie Barret and Cid are awesome.
Thanks bro! This was really helpful and to the point
This list works well for me. No complaints except I think Aerith is the best character by far.
The only time I’ve used her (unless forced) is on my first ever play-through when I was 14 like 25 years ago 😂
Good video, man. Very helpful
Aerith was the healer of my group, and it was a nightmare to find a replacement, after her, who do you consider the best healer?
Red 13 is a good replacement for healer since he has good speed combined with speed plus materia.
Old comment I know, but I remember Yuffie also healing a healing limit break and she was really fast too. I think young me used Yuffie as a replacement for Aeris when she died.
Going off the magic stat, Cait Sith and Vincent are next best. Going off supportive limits, Yuffie has a healing limit and Red XIII has an enhancing limit or two. Also, Cloud has pretty high magic and is almost always in the party, so he could be the fallback healer after Aeris.

The multi hit limit breaks are super strong they do tons of damage!
Cloud Yuffie Barrret i play with, sometimes i swich out Barett for Cid
Cid is great not only for his triple growth weapon but he also has a five slot double growth weapon, which if I'm not mistaken is the most on a single piece of equipment. (with double growth)
Yeah CId is really good in FF7
Yeah, technically the growth works out better than the scimitar if you're not in a hurry.
The scimitar isn't that great
And with the echo Mod his voice actor coupled with the script is hilarious.
I feel like I’m the only one who regularly uses Vincent and Yuffie
I do too
Yuffie is solid since she can attack from the back row with the same DPS of being in the front row. Her level 3 limit is also super strong. Highest luck in the game means better chances to steal and land crits.

You can use any characters and finish the game.
No, because Final fantasy 7 is an easy game. Watching or reading tutorials on the bosses will prevent you from dying alot against bosses.
the game is not about the tier of the characters but the tier of your materia collection because that gives you powerful skills, abilities, magic, summons, command, support, etc. You need to level them up in max to use their full potential. You can beat the game with any character you want.
Ranking the characters in battle in FF7 from best to worst. Who are your favorite characters to use on your team in FF7?
Nanaki!

And then there's cait sith.... well... lets just say, he just stands in the corner.
Yeah Cloud, Cid and Yuffie is a really good team.
CID was my favorite he was so op by multi hitting the enemins it was insane.
FF7 original: *Makes Cait Sith the worst character*
FF7 Rebirth: “That’s a lot of damage. How about some more!” *Forces a solo fight with Yin and Yang*
I think I'm the only person who has used Cait sith and red Xii in his party even all my friends ask why idk why I just like them as characters
Most of these List keep forgetting that you can one shot any enemy in the game with Cait Sith. If you put just a little effort into understand how his limit break works, it's not luck based
So if your party is cid, Yuffie and Cloud who is your spellcaster? Yuffie?
I juat want to hear the narrator say rascally rabbit.
Why isn't Aeris available for the whole game? I just started playing and have been leveling her up.
Story demands it. The healer types usually get disposed for a time period in most of the FF titles
Cloud barret vincent aeris and cait sith all s tier easy
I’m replaying the original for the first time in 30+ and half way through the game I find Vincent + All + deathblow to be really effective at clearing groups of enemies (not so much single target). So surprised he is so low on the list (but, as I said, not played in 30’years so no expert on the game)
All charactors apart from Cait Sith are top tiers DEPEND ON WHAT USE THEM FOR AND WHEN saying that CaitSith can kill Emerald weapon in 1 hit
That’s Awesome! 🤗❤️✨
Thank you Juan Orquio!
I beat the last boss with cait and vincent
Cait siths slots limit is controllable hes s teir
Cait Sithis, lol.
I have Enjoi this game since 1998
I know it was released- 3occassions 1997
I beat when i was 10-11years age i still run gamu FF7 original .: on my PS5
For worst in battle I say that has to go to Cait SITH NOT Vincent since Caith Sith's limits both of them IMHO are pure CRAP.
Vincent is useful in challenge runs at least because his transformations boost his stats in really handy ways. Death Gigas and Chaos are both very useful when you're banning various other things.
Cait Sith is marginally useful as an instant win button when you can't find another way to win a battle with weird self-imposed conditions and need to simply continue the game. So in other words he still sucks :P
I agree. The fact that Cait Sith dice can roll Death is a reason I hated using him and never did unless it was part of the story.
I think a lot of kids loved Vincent because he was like a vampire who's name was Vincent. I thought he was dumb because you had to go through trouble to get him, he has a dumb claw for an arm (like why?) and his stats are so mid that 10 year old me could tell he wasn't effective whatsoever
Yuffie is a beast in every version of this game
I always like to use underdogs in final fantasy games. Cait Sith 👍
Cwoud
Cait Sith is the worst but can literally one-shot Emerald, Ruby, or Sepiroth. Lol.
Cloud / Tifa / Cid is the way
Me personally I’d put Aerith lower than Vincent.
I’ve been playing FF7 and so far Vincent is a perfectly fine character who does more damage than Barret, even when I first got him and they were more even.
While Aerith can be a good support character and has high magic, anyone else can equip magic and do good damage.

Yuffie is the most overpowered in the game and it’s not close
Yeah Yuffie is really good in FF7
Cloud may be better but I'm not that sure
