This is a page on how to change which character you control while playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7 Remake). Check out the below for more information on switching up characters in battle!
Outside of battle it is not possible to change the playable character at this point in time, leaving Cloud the only option.
Once you enter a battle, however, simply pressing a direction on the D-pad will allow you to switch to one of 3 other playable characters. As each character has a different playstyle, for example Barret is best used against enemies typically out of reach of other characters, choose the best character for the current situation.
and pressing either the 
or 
buttons will allow you to tell your other party members what to do without switching characters.| Playing the Game |

Didn't know that you can change characters using the D-pad. Thought it's just the L2 and R2. Thank you for this!!!
