About (No Spoilers)

     Barret, as the leader of AVALANCHE is an expert at using guns and is strongly against Shinra for various reasons.  Barret also spends time caring for his daughter Marlene and he is always ready and determined to fight against the Shinra, even if it means put his own life in jeopardy.  Barret mainly fights for revenge but after Cloud joins up with AVALANCHE, Barret will soon realize that he is fighting for much more than Shinra itself.

Major Relations

     Barret is close with all the members of AVALANCHE and while he doesn’t really have many good friends other than that, he does also have a good relation with Marlene and also Dyne, who was his long-time friend.  Throughout the game, Barret learns to become good friends with Cloud and Tifa but otherwise, Barret mainly sticks around with his family and close friends.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     In the early parts of the game, Barret mainly uses thoughts of revenge to fight against the Shinra and he is willing to sacrifice anything to destroy Shinra.  Later on, Barret meets up with his long-time friend Dyne and it is later on revealed that Marlene, Barret’s daughter was actually Dyne’s kid as Barret was just taking care of her for him.  Tragically, Dyne dies after challenging Barret to a battle and later on, Barret begins to fight for other reasons, rather than just for revenge.  Barret is a strong-willed fighter who is always a loyal and trusted friend.

Review

     Barret plays the role of the “big, tough guy” in the game and he has a strong will to fight and defeat Shinra as well.  His Limit Breaks are quite strong, but he is a useful character to have since he can be effective from the front or back row depending on what weapon you equip him with.  Either way, Barret is an important character in the game.

Weapons/Armor

     Able to equip guns and other long-range weapons, Barret proves quite useful in the back row, depending on his weapon that is equipped.  Also, Barret can equip standard armor like the rest of the characters in the game.  In terms of physical attack, Barret starts off as a strong character but as the game goes on, he loses his edge in combat but he is still a decent character to use, nevertheless.

     Barret has a variety of different Limit Break attacks.  While some are not very useful, Barret’s Satellite Beam and Catastrophe Limits are strong and they are great for attacking groups as well as a single enemy.  His early Limits are good early on though.
