I never understood what these attack soldiers are used for and have never found all 12! If anyone has any information on this, please reply.

ok, I think these soldiers are used to heal that sick man in the beggining of the game where Aeris's house is at. But the thing is, is that this only works in the Japanese version. Yet another strange thing about this is that in the American version, Aeris makes a scene about the sick man and mentions that he has a tatoo with the number 2 on his arm. Later on in the game, around disk 2 or 3 the sick man isn't there anymore.

There have ben a lot of rumors about Aeris, with the tissues and such, but I think they might just be a collectors item in the American version.....just another useless item in the Final Fantasy world.

It angered me. I found them all and Sephiroth didnt join my team. :(

First of all you can get some of the 1/35 soldiers in Junon during Rufus' parade and the rest you get at Speed Square. If you collect them all, your troops at Fort Condor are free.

yes, the 1/35 soldiers are only to get free access to the fort condor battles...which can become quite spendy sometimes
