sacrifices his robotic body for the benefit of his friends. Later, he returns to the team in a new stuffed body, and continues the fight against Sephiroth. Although he constantly tries to display his loyalty, the fact that he betrayed his friends to Shinra before makes it difficult for them to fully trust him again.

Abilities

Since Cait Sith is essentially an artificial lifeform, he is less prone to injury as his allies. Also, the strength of the Mog upon which Cait travels is superior to any human, enabling it to deliver powerful blows to any attackers.

Cid Highwind

Cid Highwind is an old pilot from Rocket Town with a dream of going up in space. The self-proclaimed greatest pilot alive, he believes he can fly anything with wings. Cid joins Cloud's crew after he was once again disappointed by Shinra, who he always blamed for abandoning the Space Program that could have given him his chance in space. Cid is a brawler by nature, whose sarcasm and short temper get him into trouble on many occasions.

Abilities

Cid is a fighter by nature, whether it be with words or weapons. Rather than relying on materia in a fight, he depends on his trusty array of lances and spears. His own limit attack, dubbed the Highwind, is the rare occasion that he does use magical power. He summons small missiles from the earth beneath him, launching an explosive attack on the enemy or enemies.

Yuffie Kisaragi

Yuffie is the daughter of the leader of the city Wutai, a city rich with heritage and famous for being a world center for the martial arts. However, its recent economic struggles brought Yuffie to take on the mantel of materia hunter, hoping that by collecting the small orbs of power, she could amass a fortune to calm the ills of her home town. She initally joins Cloud's teams for selfish reasons, hoping to get her hands on their materia, but later displays a change of heart, and continues to fight for the world. Yuffie, at the age of sixteen, is the youngest member of the group, and is therefore the most prone for youthful rebellion. However, it isn't doubted that she is deadly with her shuriken-style weapons, and her lust for adventure and a good fight make her a valuable asset in a fight.

Abilities

Yuffie relies on her ninja skills, honed since childhood, in battle. She prefers to attack with sharp-edged throwing weapons, her most powerful being the Conformer, but if she feels her weapon isn't succeeding against the opponent, she is quick to use some of the collection of materia she established during her journeys with Cloud. When angered, Yuffie releases her rage in the form of a wide beam of mighty energy focused from the spirit within her into her Conformer. That attack is known, and feared, as All Creation.

Vincent Valentine

It is ironic that a man named Valentine could have a heart as cold as ice. However, for this bitter warrior, love was the source of his downfall. His past hidden in the shadows, Vincent prefers to be alone, and bury himself in his remorse over the loss of his beloved Lucrecia. Since her apparent death, he had blamed himself for the suffering of her innocence, and felt the need to attone by aiding Cloud and his friends against Sephiroth. Although Vincent is outwardly cold and often obnoxious, it is due to the torment of emotions lurking within, that he refuses to display to his allies. Despite his secrecy, he is still an important member of the team, with surprising knowledge of the Shinra organization and a deadly aim with his handheld pistol.

Abilities

In battle, Vincent is swift and sure. Most often he fights with one of his guns or rifles, but he also quite skilled at up close and personal combat, using his claw arm as a weapon, and displaying his impressive physical agility and speed. Also, Vincent is known for having strange, arcane abilities that surface when angered. Formost of which is his ability to call upon a beast within. When angered, the spirit of the monster forces its way out, physically transforming Vincent into the mighty bat-like creature known as Chaos.
