New Recruitable Characters and Explanations
| Ranking | Explanations |
|---|---|
 Beowulf |
・Access to equipping Knight's Swords, Clothes, and Robes giving him the best equipment options.

 Cloud |
・Required to equip Materia Blade+ to have access to his skillset.
・Best Limit skills have long charge time, requiring the Swiftness ability to be viable. |
 Construct 8 |
・Dispose is unavoidable damage from 8 spaces away, at the cost of a small portion of Construct 8's health.

 Reis |
・Highest stat growth in the entire game, with only Orlandeau coming even close.
