Characters from the Crisis Core

Notable Characters

Zack Fair

Zack is the main character in Crisis Core, and even though Cloud is fantastic, we have to give Zack the advantage when it comes to Final Fantasy VII characters. You take on the role of him during your adventure, and it's safe to say that he's a little bit of a badass.

Aerith Gainsborough

In Crisis Core, Aerith plays a significant role, and her connection with Zack is vital to that. Yes, she had a relationship with Zack before to becoming friends with the motley crew of misfits in Final Fantasy VII. We've covered all you need to know about her part in the main game in our FFVII Aerith guide.

Cloud Strife

Indeed, the well-known character from Final Fantasy VII is present in Crisis Core; but, unlike Zack, he doesn't steal the show. Fortunately, Cloud makes an appearance in the main game; for further information on him, see our FFVII Cloud guide.

Tifa Lockhart

Oh, Tifa, my darling Tifa, it's always a reason to celebrate when she appears in anything, and she also happens to be a supporting character in Crisis Core. Although she is listed farther down, Tifa deserves her own paragraph, even if it is only fan fiction. Try our FFVII Tifa guide if you would want to learn more about this amazing character and her place in the larger Final Fantasy VII world.

Enterprise

We keep thinking the same thing every time we hear this guy's name: why won't he simply pass away already? In any case, Crisis Core's Sephiroth is a SOLDIER and provides a solid introduction to the major adversary of the main story. Speaking of which, see our FFVII Sephiroth guide to find out more about the antagonist of Final Fantasy VII.

Genesis

And now for Genesis Rhapsodos, the primary enemy of Crisis Core. To put it mildly, he's a bit of a butthead, but maybe there's a reason to his madness. He's a SOLDIER first class, much like numerous other major characters in the game, so be ready for an epic battle when it comes time.

Angeal

One of the most intriguing characters in Crisis Core is Angeal, who is also Zack's tutor in addition to sharing close bonds with the villains of FFVII and Crisis Core, Genesis and Sephiroth, respectively. He does have a significant impact on his protégé and plays a crucial role—we don't want to reveal too much at this point.
