How To Find All 7th Infantry Members In Final Fantasy 7 (FF7) Rebirth

Junon is a busy location in Final Fantasy 7 (FF7) Rebirth, but it isn’t just where players finally run into Yuffie. Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith must dress up and “join” the Shinra military to get close to Rufus during his parade. However, to win the President’s commendation, Cloud will have to lead the 7th Infantry in a successful display – and to do that, he must first find the infantry.
