We get to meet known characters from the Shinra executive board, on top of Kyrie Canaan, who comes from Kazushige Nojima’s novel Final Fantasy VII Gaiden: Turks ~The Kids Are Alright~.

On top of that, we take a look at Moogle Medals, a brand new collectible that can be found inside treasure boxes and Shinra Company crates. If you bring them to a certain NPC in Midgar, you’ll be able to get some rewards.

You can check the images out below.

Here’s a description for each character:

Rufus Shinra

President Shinra’s son and the current Vice President of the Shinra Electric Power Company. He’s recently been away from Midgar on an extended business trip.

He is an immensely prideful man, with a strong rebellious streak towards his father. Despite being vice president, he sometimes enters the battlefield himself, armed with a custom-made shotgun and protected by Darkstar, a military canine.

Palmer

The Director of Shinra’s Space and Aeronautics Division. Palmer is the eldest of the company’s executives but has no real power or influence – his division, originally founded with the latest technology at Shinra’s disposal, has all but folded since it failed to launch a rocket.

Because division activities have been suspended indefinitely, Palmer finds himself with lots of time on his hands. He’s fond of butter in his tea and chortles in a distinctive manner.

Scarlet

Shinra’s Director of Advanced Weaponry. During the war, her innovative, high-end armaments brought in a sizable chunk of change for the company.

Her wartime efforts, and the resulting profits, saw Scarlet quickly promoted to executive officer. She is highly capable, as one would expect from someone placed in charge of Shinra’s weapons development.

Reeve Tuesti

Shinra’s Director of the Urban Development Division. He is in charge of the management and maintenance of Midgar.

His attitude is unusual for a Shinra executive, as he focuses on improving life in the slums and is attentive to the environment. These elements are neglected by the other executives who value only profit and efficiency.

Kyrie Canaan

A girl from the Sector 5 slums who makes a living by pulling off scams on unsuspecting victims. Although fearless, she often finds herself in trouble.
