MP (enemy)

MP is an enemy in Final Fantasy VII. It is encountered in the Sector 1 Reactor, the opening location of the game, and a pair of them are the first enemies fought in the game.

They are easy enemies to defeat and use their only two attacks equally, neither being powerful. Due to their low stats, MPs can be killed in one hit, whether by normal attacks or magic.

In the full releases of the game, only Cloud (called EX-SOLDIER) appears during this fight, but in the 1996 Demo release, Barret and Aeris join him, despite Barret having proceeded already. The guards also appear differently before the battle, a much darker blue, with mask features less visible, and their name is Security Troops rather than MP. In a later demo version Cloud fights this battle with Tifa.

In the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII defeating the MPs earns the player the "Won 1st Battle" achievement.
