What three characters do you use?

Cloud, Barret, and Cid. I used Tifa if I didn't have Cid yet.

So many people use Yuffie, I always hated the little thief!

Cloud, Tifa and Cid. Before Cid I used RedXIII a.k.a Nanaki. And before Nanaki I used Barret.

I always have used cid and barret but I think I will used tifa in one of those spots in my next playthrough

Cloud (obviously), Cid, and Tifa, and Nanaki until I get Cid.

Cloud, Vincent and Nanaki... my total FFvii Knights, but i changed their names just to suit the moment..

Cloud:Zyasaki
Vincent:Xavier
Nanaki:Nanaki

These three were my average joes, catching chocobo's and endlessly leveling the all materias

Cloud because you have to

Barret for strength

Aeris for magic

After disk one, Tifa or Yuffie for magic.

I usually rotate after someone levels up though

I rotate them throughout the game. Try to keep their stats about even, so I have who I need when I need them. The only character I don't use is Cait Sith. Well, you have to to get out of Junon after being arrested, but I assure you that as soon as possible, I get him out of my party. (SPOILER)I wish he'd have stayed dead at the Temple of the Ancients.

I would go with Four.

Cloud/Vincent/Tifa/RedXIII
Barret was used mostly in disk one.

cloud tifa aeris, then after disc 1 i use yuffie on my last playthrough
but ive often used cloud barret and cid

i used cloud, vincent, and cid for a long time, but on my last playthrough, I traded cid for Yuffie.

Cloud, Red XIII and either Tifa or Cid.

Cloud cait sith and vincent

Cloud, Yuffie and Tifa.
