In FF7 Rebirth, each party member brings a unique set of abilities and skills to the table. In our FF7 Rebirth character tier list, we break down how each character in the game ranks in terms of their effectiveness in battle, abilities, and roles, so you can pick the most effective party to suit your play style. We’ve omitted the central protagonist, Cloud, from this list, since you can’t choose to have him in your party or not.
