Two years after the Planet's jeopardy by Sephiroth, Cloud lives separate and alone from most of the world, acting as a delivery man for his own Postal Company: Strife Delivery Service. Strife Delivery Service works with Tifa's 7th Heaven in caring for orphaned children inflicted with Geostigma Syndrome, a disease caused by Jenova's cells in the Lifestream that can result in severe pain or death.
When the Planet is threatened again, Cloud finds himself carrying around the mistakes of his past, believing in his incapability of protecting anyone. Cloud's emotional wounds allow him to be faint of heart, oppressed by the memories lost. Seeking forgiveness, he fights for the chance of redemption.
With the life of the Planet at stake, Cloud fights on, battling his sins, to save others. Cloud also struggles with his physical condition, being inflicted with Geostigma as well, which brings about painful memories of his past.
Cloud's style has been changed from Final Fantasy VII. Instead of his signature SOLDIER uniform, Cloud now wears an all-black outfit, carrying around a new sword (using about 6 smaller swords in one), rather than the Buster Sword. The Buster now marks the spot of Zack's grave.
Sephiroth
Sephiroth still haunts Cloud's past. Cloud's Geostigma causes him to have flashbacks of Sephiroth's destruction of Nibelheim. When Kadaj transforms into Sephiroth, Sephiroth tells Cloud that he will use the thoughts of those who died from Geostigma to eat away at the Planet, and then use the Planet to travel the darkness of the universe.
Still working at 7th Heaven, Tifa now helps orphaned children suffering from Geostigma, and works alongside Cloud's Company: Strife Delivery Service. Tifa has not changed much, still showing ultimate concern for Cloud, especially now with his Geostigma and his emotional scars from his past. Tifa has a big part in encouraging and convincing Cloud to fight on, even if he believes he is not able to help anyone, to still try and not loose to the memories made.
Tifa's outfit has been entirely changed since Final Fantasy VII. Her new attire is now a pair of long shorts, with skirt-like, leather material hanging in the back. Her new shirt is a black leather vest with a white shirt underneath. Tifa still fights with her martial arts skill.
Aeris
Aeris' death still torments Cloud for allowing her to die without him helping at all. Aeris comes to him in a vision at the Ancient City, and Cloud tells her that he wants to be forgiven, yet Aeris has never once held a grudge against Cloud. Throughout Advent Children, Aeris is there in spirit to help Cloud through his struggles and trials, and to help Cloud free himself of his sins.
Vincent Valentine
When the world was threatened again by the Silver Haired Brothers, Vincent has been keeping an eye on Kadaj and his calamitous plans. Because of this, Vincent has learned of Kadaj's intentions of restarting the Reunion and destroying the Planet. Vincent had also rescued two of Shin-Ra's Turks, Tseng and Elena, who were on the verge of dying by the Silver Haired Brothers, which allowed him to learn that the Shin-Ra Company had obtained a part of Jenova's body.
Vincent returns to Midgar to fight alongside Cloud once again to help save the Planet from annihilation. Vincent attacks with a long pistol and has tremendous agility.
Barret Wallace
Since the use of Mako Energy has been rejected, Barret has set out to find a new source of power, leaving Marlene under Tifa's care. Barret's search had led him to find a large oilfield. Barret returns back to Midgar to help Cloud once more in defeating the threatening evil against the world. Barret still fights with a mechanical right arm which transforms into a gun.
