Flynn Scifo (フレン・シーフォ, Furen Shīfo) is a childhood friend of Yuri's, as well as a friend to Estelle.

But unlike Yuri, he stuck with it and has since continued to climb higher in rank, becoming the youngest to receive the title of Captain. Flynn often helps the party deal with problems in their travels. He has a sense of justice similar to Yuri's, but he pursues it through a different method, attempting to solve matters through peaceful politics rather than forceful rebellion. He is unplayable in the Xbox 360 version of the game (save for a single battle,) but is a fully playable character in the PS3 version and Definitive Edition.

But just as he's about to deliver the killing blow, Duke arrives and uses Dein Nomos to destroy the weapon.

Gauche (ゴーシュ, Gōshu) and Droite (ドロワット, Dorowatto) were adopted daughters of Yeager, but are not blood-sisters. In general these two act as the same character, however they do have their own differences. The duo have an undying gratitude to their foster father because he once saved the financially troubled orphanage they lived in for so long. In a side quest where the team fights these two, it is revealed that Yeager potentially knew an old friend of Raven's when they give him her old bow in exchange for a locket. The primary difference between the two is seen in their view of battle where Gauche is seen as more violent than Droite. Perhaps the easiest way to remember who is who is by their hair color and meanings of their names. Gauche is French for "Left" (who holds her sword in her left hand), and Droite is French for "right (direction)" (who holds her sword in her right hand).
