The first party member to be shown off is Cait Sith and his stuffed moogle mount. On his own, he deals quick, agile attacks that can be enhanced when he brings out his moogle. He can also provide buffs to other party members. When not in combat, he can hack and tell fortunes.

Yuffie uses a large throwing star for ranged attacks, and can use magic-infused “ninjutsu” when the throwing star is away that will automatically target an enemy’s elemental weakness. She can also summon a clone to fight with. In her synergy ability with Cait Sith, the moogle is sent forward with a ninja technique.
