Final Fantasy 7: Ranking Every Main Character From Worst To Best
Cloud, Aerith, Tifa and the rest, but who comes out on top?
1997's Final Fantasy VII is remembered fondly for its amazing storyline, excellent (for the time) cutscenes, and for putting JRPG's on the map in the western world.
Arguably the most well liked of the Final Fantasy titles, audiences have been waiting for a long time to be able to play with today's capabilities.
And, while Square Enix are finally dropping a full remake in March 2020, let's celebrate the original and all the characters it introduced to us. Everyone has their favorite, whether it be through personality, usefulness, how they impacted the story or just simply how cool they looked.
It's a tall order, but sound off down in the comments how close we got.
Honorable Mention: Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie, the lost members of AVALANCHE. Three of the first characters we meet, while they each had distinct personalities, we never got to spend enough time with them. Here's hoping they get more screentime in the Final Fantasy VII Remake.
And now, sorted by a mix of everything including gut-feeling, is the definitive list of worst-to-best characters. Probably.

18. Cait Sith
A robotic cat on top of a moogle...cool. Goofy looks aside, he's still in your party to be a spy while Reeves controls him. So unless you're into traitors and cats, what's to like? He's never even required to be in the party.
He's really not very useful either. Be honest, have you ever really chose to use Cait Sith? Other than he might be a decent support character after Aerith dies, his low stats and random Limit Breaks aren't enough to justify grinding his stats any higher than they need to be.
His limits are all based on luck, and you have no real ability to strategize in battle. You may get a strong attack, you may get some health... or you may get instant death. Cool?
Sorry if you're a big Cait Sith fan, but he's really awful. The twist that he's a spy seems so obvious on replay, and the big sacrifice he makes at the Ancient's Temple is wasted when he shows back up with a new copy of himself.
