Shinra soldier (Rifle)
They have light armour that will protect them from being shot,up to a point, and helmets that give them an uncanny ability to hear things from miles away and see you in the darkest rooms and thickest forests. They are armed with simple rifles that dont do too much damage on thier own, but if a large group of soldiers is around it can be trouble (and they rarley work alone)
Shinra soldier (Swordsman)
Same as the soldier really,only they have a sword instead of a gun, theyre also not as common as the others. Shinra gives them drugs to make them run fast and hit hard and theyre often used to infiltrate bases and surprise enemies because thier weapons dont make any sound. Some of them are equipped with a shadow cape which makes them almost invisible

Shinra soldier (Machine gun)
A soldier with a more powerful gun than the first type, they stand still and hammer away at you rather than shoot then find cover. Theyre mainly used for attacking enemy bases,not as gaurds like the others
Shinra commander
They dress in red, rather than the standard blue,and carry shotguns. Theyre often found in with large amounts of normal soldiers commanding them, but also are used as commandos when needed. Thier armour is also slightly stronger than the other soldiers
Gaurd dog
Used by shinra as...gaurd dogs, theyre weak,but fast and small so hard to spot, they run at you and bite you,and occasionaly shoot the odd fireball..which isnt supposed to happen so pretend you didnt see it ^-^
Mighty grunt
Mainly used by shinra for gaurd duty, they have armour that can take a point blank shotgun blast and deadly twin machine guns, the only consalation for this is theyre pretty slow moving, giving you plenty of time to hide and co-ordinate an attack
Defence turret
Used by shinra in a lot of places, theyre tall and very visible to indtimidate people, and fire deadly chemical missiles which can usually take most of your health away. They are very weak though and explode when killed (hopefully destroying other enemies nearby....hopefully)
Magitek armour
Used for gaurding,patrolling,attacking..everything really. It stomps about and blasts out huge fireballs like nobodys business. It also has heavy armour and is usually found supporting on-foot shinra soldiers, deadly indeed..
Orb
Unarmed hovering black orbs, They are actually automatic medics which are deployed onto a battlefield to aid injured soldiers-it is very fast and if it comes across a dead enemy it will cast life 2 and revive that enemy to full health (only some enemies though). When its killed it explodes so dont get too close to it

Helicopter
Shinra helicopters, used for scouting and patrolling around, and attack any signs of dissent with chemical missiles. They have very heavy armour and can swoop down low to shoot inside buildings, its a good idea to find cover somewhere and come out shooting to surpise the pilots. When its killed it drops from the sky and explodes,so dont be underneath
Flame tank
Looks more impressive from other angles,honest!. This is a large and strong tank/truck that drives about and fires huge fireballs from its main gun, usually one of the fireballs is enough to kill you so watch out! They do have a limited range however, not to mention the tanks size and non-manuverabilty means it does have a tendancy to commit friendly-fire. When its killed (not easy!) it explodes and blasts out 3 fireballs in random directions, which can actually hurt the enemy more than you if theyre close by
Unknown 10
One of the strongest common enemies in the game, this huge genetically engineered beast runs about at high speed launching chemical missiles from its back-mounted launchers with little thought to what its aiming at. Up close it bites and tears at you with those huge claws and teeth. The shinra have little control over it so often drop it into returner bases or where theyre suspected to be working and just let it get on with its job of mindless slaughter. Its very difficult to kill outright so a shoot-and-run tactic is recommended
Scarlet
The only woman ever to get anywhere in the sexist shinra empire (not that she's a feminist or liberal in any way,think of thatcher and youre nearly there). She uses this small robot to try and kill you in one part of the game. It is fairly strong and shoots out energy balls at high speed, its best to shoot at it as youre moving between cover to avoid being shot by it

Kefka's magitek
The insane shinra general, Kefka, drives his own personal magiek armour, unlike normal magitek drivers he favours the less rapid firing,but more deadly tekmissiles which can home in on enemies, however they home in regardless of weather there is a wall in the way. The magitek also has a magical force-field powered by kefkas unnatural magical power which makes it insanley strong and resistant to most weapons.

Panther medium tank
A huge tank armed with the biggest machine gun you ever saw, its armour makes it twice as strong as the doom cyberdemon and it will stop at nothing to kill you. It is very wide and heavy though,and moves pretty slowly giving you the chance to get out of its way. Also its huge size and less-than-accurate heavy machine gun cause it to often get caught up in friendly-fire confusion, letting you sit back and wait for its own allies to soften it up first

Saracen heavy tank
You thought the medium tank was bad! Ludicrously strong armour, deadly 3-missile blasts from its cannon (one hit often being all it needs) and a non stop rage to kill any signs of dissent against the shinra empire. Like the medium tank however it is slow and large, sometimes becoming stuck against walls or in alleyways, also its powerful weapon means if you can get it attacking its allies by accident it'll be doing a lot of dirty work for you

Rufus shinra
The coward is unarmed but always calling for backup to save him from the evil "terrorists" trying to bring him to account for all the evil deeds his empire has done

Carrier plane
A large aircraft that brings in support for shinra by flying over and warping down a machine to kill you, that may be a single swordsman or an advanced magitek armour, you just dont know till it appears

Proud clod
A HUGE robot that will probably be made out of scenery,not an actual enemy...but will have turrets mounted on it
