黑桃云-
Cloud Strife (クラウド・ストライフ Kuraudo Sutoraifu): Protagonist. A self-proclaimed Ex-SOLDIER turned mercenary employed by AVALANCHE, and the main character of the game. Cloud is portrayed as a confused and conflicted individual with an occasionally arrogant attitude. He wears a blue SOLDIER uniform and is distinguished by his blue eyes that periodically glow green (a sign of having been exposed to Mako) and spiked blonde hair (for which he is often made fun of by his peers). He wields a giant buster sword in combat.
Aerith Gainsborough (エアリス・ゲインズブール Earisu Geinsubūru） (aka Aeris Gainsborough): A young woman who sells flowers on the streets of Midgar and is sought after by Shin-Ra"s research department. She asks Cloud to be her bodyguard after a run-in with the Turks, and subsequently joins AVALANCHE. She has long brown hair she keeps in a braid with pink bows, vivid green eyes, and wears a red mini-jacket and a pink dress. Aerith is also a well-known martyr, sacrificing herself as the only Ancient left, and the only one alive who had the power to stop Meteor from destroying the Planet. Throughout the game, Aerith brings Cloud out of his shell and opens up his heart, teaching him to be more caring.
Tifa Lockhart (ティファ・ロックハート Tifa Rokkuhāto), or Tifa Lockheart: A childhood acquaintance of Cloud and a skilled martial artist in her own right. One of the main members of AVALANCHE, it is Tifa who convinces Cloud to work for the group. She has long black hair tied back in a loose pony-tail and brown eyes. Tifa helps Cloud unravel the secrets of his past and stands by him throughout the game.
Barret Wallace (バレット・ウォーレス Baretto Wōresu): The leader of AVALANCHE, a powerfully built man with a deep-seated hatred of everything Shin-Ra. Barret mistrusts Cloud at first because of the mercenary"s past affiliation with the corporation. He lost his right forearm during an encounter with Shin-Ra years ago and had it replaced with a powerful gun.
Red XIII a.k.a. Nanaki (レッドXIII Reddo Jyūsan): Strong, fierce, and coated with fire-red fur, Red XIII is a large and powerful beast, with a strong intellect and warm heart to match. Red XIII joins with Cloud after being rescued from a horrible Shin-Ra experiment. Red XIII is the name given to him by Hojo, the head of Shin-Ra"s Science Department, but his real name is Nanaki (ナナキ). Hojo claims that he is part of an endangered species much like Aerith is. (After the credits at the end of the game, Red XIII is seen running with two lionlike creatures that appear to be of his species and are widely speculated to be his children.) Nanaki returns to his home in Cosmo Canyon where we discover information about his origins. While 42 actual years in age, his grandfather explains how Red XIII"s race has great longevity and that this longevity makes Red XIII more like an early teen in human terms. He also learns that his father, whom he had hated for supposedly fleeing a battle in Cosmo Canyon, had actually sacrificed himself to defend the canyon, resulting in his petrification by arrows. Both of this character"s names are likely references to Star Wars; Nanaki is an anagram of Anakin, and Red 13 is a Rebel callsign. See also Biggs and Wedge.
Cid Highwind (シド・ハイウィンド Shido Haiwindo): A rather crotchety and foul-mouthed, but nonetheless warm-hearted character, Cid is a pilot who secretly dreams of travelling into space. He lives with Shera (Sierra), an assistant who forced Cid to abort his past chance at launching his rocket into space, saving Cid"s life by checking oxygen tanks she correctly feared were faulty during the lift-off sequence. Cid may have created the airship Highwind and also owns the Tiny Bronco, a small plane which Cloud and the others use as a boat in the game after it is downed by Shin-Ra. Cid wields a powerful polearm in battle.
Yuffie Kisaragi (ユフィ・キサラギ Yufi Kisaragi): The spunky young princess of Wutai and Godo"s daughter. A self-proclaimed "Materia Hunter", Yuffie is in fact a pickpocket and thief who joins the party hoping to steal Materia with the intention of restoring her country, Wutai, to its former glory. Although Yuffie is a skillful ninja, she has her weaknesses - namely, she is prone to sea and air sickness.
Cait Sith (ケット・シー Ketto Shī): Appearing as a stuffed, talking cat, Cait Sith is friendly but often untrustworthy and unreliable. He rides on the back of a stuffed "Mog", a magical creature that does all of the pair"s fighting. He is eventually revealed to be a "puppet" that Reeve Tuesti, Shin-Ra"s Head of Urban Development, used to infiltrate AVALANCHE. However, over time, Reeve came to care for his new friends and their cause and used Cait Sith as a way for him to help the gang in spirit. Cait Sith sacrifices himself at one point in the game to aid the group, but a "Cait Sith II" immediately shows up to replace him.
Vincent Valentine (ヴィンセント・ヴァレンタイン Vinsento Varentain): A dark, brooding, and sardonic young man whose heart has been numbed by a tragic love. Vincent is a former Turk gunman who was experimented on by Hojo approximately thirty years before the start of the game and consequently developed superhuman abilities and characteristics. Cloud and the others eventually discover him sleeping inside a coffin in the basement of the Shin-Ra Mansion, where he agrees to help them in their quest.
Sephiroth (セフィロス Sefirosu): The game"s primary antagonist. Said to be the greatest member of SOLDIER ever, Sephiroth rose to a prominent rank at an early age. Mysterious and dangerous, with an agenda all his own. Driven mad by the discovery of his true heritage (or so he thinks), he plans to become god-like by wounding the planet with Meteor and absorbing the Lifestream emitted by the Planet to heal the damage. He is always a step ahead of Cloud and his friends. Sephiroth was the son of Hojo and Lucrecia, infused with Jenova cells before birth to give him his superhuman strength and intelligence. Sephiroth"s actions, appearance, and the theme song ("One-Winged Angel") hint at his symbolism as a "fallen angel". He also has, instead of his right arm, a dark colored wing in the form of Safer Sephiroth, and it is "One-winged angel" that plays during the heroes" battle with this form.

我只知道克劳德 CLOUD

Cloud Strife：
中文名字：克劳德
Cloud和Strife都是英语单词。
Cloud的名字暗示着他神秘，不清楚的过去以及他那不可预知的将来：他的记忆是乌云密布（Clouded）的，他的将来就象在雾里前进，没有人知道他的下一步该怎么走。在自然界里，天上的云（Cloud）从来不会自己移动，它们都是受到风的控制。同样，Cloud的发展都是别人的影响大于他自己的决定，刚开始的时候，Sephiroth/Jenova控制着他；而到了后来，又是Tifa帮他才找回了自我。
而他的姓（Strife：斗争，冲突，竞争）则说明了他好斗的本性。他心灵深处的斗争可是游戏的主要剧情啊，在最后Cloud和Sephiroth之间的决斗，才算结束。
Tifa Lockheart：
中文名字：蒂法 Tifa的名字来源于一个古希伯来单词“Tiferet”，而Lockheart则是英语单词lock和heart的结合。
Tiferet是生命之树的一个Sephiroth（见Sephiroth部分），代表的是漂亮，而古代的昔伯来人认为Tiferet同时也象征自我牺牲。从游戏里可以看出，这两点都符合Tifa的情况。在塔罗牌里，Tiferet的图案是红心（想想Tifa的姓吧），而有时则是天使（Tifa的酒吧是“Seventh Heaven”，而她的4级Limit技则是“Final Heaven”），她的姓，Lockheart，则体现出她的天生羞涩，难以向自己喜爱的人示爱，以及意味着Cloud的过去被锁（Lock）在了她的心里（Heart）。
Aeris Gainsborough： 中文名字：爱丽斯 在拉丁语里“aeris”被翻译为“air; atmosphere; cloud; ether”。“Air”和“atmosphere”，都有大气，空气的意思，这说明了Aeris跟大自然的紧密联系以及她对星球的重要性，因为如果没有空气和大气，星球上是不会有生命的。而且Aeris的第一个Limit技的名字还是Healing Wind。而“Cloud”这个意思则暗示着它与Cloud Strife有着神秘的联系，就象Cait Sith说的那样，他们“很适合对方”
Sephiroth：
中文名：萨非罗斯
这个名字起源于犹太神话，是一个严格意义上的宗教名词。在造物时，神向虚无中送出了一股能量，而这股能量不久就出现了分歧，最后分成了10个截然不同的性质，分别是善良，智慧，理解，伟大，力量，美丽，胜利，杰出，基础和天国，它们就是我们所知的Sephiroth。但现在Sephiroth已经开始有了形态，称之为生命之树，它的形体也是由神创造的，每个人死后，灵魂都会回到生命之树，重新成为其所对应的Sephiroth。（怎么听起来象FF9的Iifa之树啊？）其中这10个方面又分为22个分支，每个分支都对应一个希伯来字母。Sephiroth有阳性的，也有阴性的，但生命之树却没有任何偏向。在一场强烈的火焰中生命之树会得到新生，并且带来一个崭新的世界。
在FF7中Sephiroth企图通过吸收生命之河的能量来使自己成为神，因此他就得到了这个名字。因为在希伯来人认为，成为神的一个办法就是成为生命之树的主宰，而显然这里的生命之树跟FF7里的生命之河是一个概念。
