MP (enemy)

The MP is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII. They are easy enemies to defeat and use their two attacks equally, neither being powerful. Due to their low stats, MPs can be killed in one hit, either by normal attacks or magic.
A pair of MPs is encountered in the Sector 1 as the first enemies fought in the game. In the full releases only Cloud (called EX-SOLDIER) appears during this fight, but in the 1996 Demo release, Barret and Aeris join him, despite Barret having already left and Aeris not having been encountered at this point. The guards also appear differently before the battle; they are a darker blue, with their masks' features less visible, and their name is Security Troops rather than MP. In a later demo version, Cloud fights this battle alongside Tifa.
In the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII, defeating the MPs earns the "Won 1st Battle" achievement.
