Final Fantasy 7: Ranking Every Main Character From Worst To Best

14. Rude

Final Fantasy 7 Cloud
Square Enix

One of the early adopters of the badass bald dude with facial hair look. Rude is rarely seen without his Turk partner Reno, so we never see him really stand out on his own. It's quite interesting that he seems to have a soft spot for Tifa though.

You can fight Rude up to 4 times. We first battled him in Gongaga and he seems to be the easier of the two Turks to take out. The best strategy is to use Tifa against him as he won't attack her unless she's the only party member left. His final battle, with Elena in Midgar, is optional.

Even if he's not much by himself, he's still a big part of the story with the Turks constantly showing up and trying to slow your progress. You have to give them credit for helping the party finally get rid of Don Corneo.
