Cloud Strife turned out to be a fairly muscular looking guy wearing leather armor and carrying a big sword of a type called a Greatsword. It looked more like the kind of thing you used to chop through rider and horse in one attack, but as the guy carried it like it weighed nothing - he probably could manage some skill with it. The really weird thing about this Cloud guy was his being constantly distracted.
The gal called Tifa Lockheart was something altogether different. If Ukyo had had that kind of 'talent' - she'd never have been able to bind those under her shirt. Some kinda martial artist, but there was something very different about the art she practiced.
With Aerith, they brought some serious talent to the group.
The Nerima Wrecking Crew, an adventuring party formed by a master monk, was registered out of Clifftop. Typically, word was spread quickly about the group and its initial membership. Naturally, once word got to the rival adventurer's quarter of Deathsgate, a few people decided to head over and harass the new adventurers. Also as a natural consequence of this, various individuals decided to take a look at that group and see what they were up to.
Ranma Santarni/Saotome, male human, monk of the Santari Sacred Fist Style, rank - Master. Transformation curse - water dependent, gender shift. Seeks cure for curse in Xendrik.Tao, warforged, student of Santari Sacred Fist Style, rank - beginning student. Former Cyre military. Student of Ranma Santarni.
Aerith Gainsborough, half-elf female of Cyre, priestess of Olladra. Journeyman level. Outstanding fines from illegal sales of flowers.

Tifa Lockheart, human female of Cyre, journeyman warrior and practitioner of Ocean's Heart style martial arts.
Those who had met the three latter quickly determined that the other three who had been with them were now gone, apparently after better jobs in other areas. Hence the joining up with another adventuring group was not unexpected.
There were those who also smiled and chuckled, pointing to the love triangle developing between a confused boy and two girls who seemed more interested in him than simple friendship would indicate.
Though there were some who looked at this group and saw something else. Skills that they might need and apparently did not have. Some would seek to exploit this, others would have other reactions.
Hearing that they were going to Xendrik, and that they might do so on the Highwind - a "privateer" airship - it interested a few individuals who had their own reasons for going to that continent.
