So first note, although I've added this under World of Ruin, it will also outline getting Mog and Gau in the World of Balance.
MOG (World of Balance)
When you get control of the Blackjack Airship, return to Narshe. There is a house that earlier had a lot of treasure in cheats, return there to run into Lone Wolf the pickpocket. He's opened the locked chest and decides to flee when you catch him in the act. Chase him into the mines. You'll have to chase him until you get to the Tritoch Esper.
Here you'll find him holding Mog hostage. Just stand still for a few seconds, and Mog will start wrestle his way away from Lonewolf. Their struggle throws them both over the edge on either side of the platform. If you choose to help Mog, you get him to join you. If you help Lonewolf you'll get a Gold Hairpin. Help Mog - this is the only chance you'll have of teaching him the Water Rondo Dance, although regardless of choice he will be available in WoR.

GAU (World of Balance)
When you reach Moblitz, purchase "Dried Meat". Return to the Veldt and battle until you encounter Gau, throw the "Dried Meat" at him to have him join your party.

World of Ruin
Most of the following Characters are available to get in any order, although some (such as Locke) will require to have 2 teams in order to get them or another Party Member in your team (Umaro & Strago).
CELES CHERE
You'll start WoR as Celes.

SABIN RENE FIGARO
After getting the Raft and landing, head to Tzen. Walk to the north part of town and you should see Sabin holding up the collapsing Building as a Child is inside.
You will have a few minutes to get into the basement, retrieve the child and leave. Once done, Sabin will join you.
Note: The enemies inside use status ailments, so equip a Ribbon. There is also total of eight treasure chests in the house, six of them contain treasures and two of them monsters-in-a-box filled with Pm Stalkers.
If you run from the random battles, you should have more than enough time to get all the treasures.

EDGAR RONI FIGARO (Gerad)
Firstly, head to Nikeah and then to Cafe. Speak to all the NPCs there, they should leave and board a ship. Then head out into town and you should should see "Gerad", a guy who looks exactly like Edgar. Speak to him and then board the boat.
Go to the Inn and you'll see Gerad again, speak to him once more. A bandit should come in and they head off to rob Figaro Castle.
Follow them to Figaro Cave. Head through the Cave and into the Castle, follow the path and catch up to the bandits. They should enter another room, go in and Gerad admits who he is. He should join you in time for the imminent Boss fight.

CYAN GARAMONDE

Note: Have Cyan in your party and sleep in Doma Castle, clear "Dream World" to unlock Cyans Tech abilities.

GAU
Head to the Veldt with 3 Party Members and fight until he joins up. He should join your party automatically (like he would if you had used the "Leap" command) but keep hold of a piece of Dried Meat in case.

SHADOW (Clyde)
First off, you need to have waited for Shadow on the floating Island for you to be able to get him back in the WoR (A note has been added in the "Cheats" section). If you have done so, head to the Cave in the Veldt and work your way through the Cave making sure to get the "Striker" Weapon, and then finding the prone body of Shadow on the floor (if you didn't wait for Shadow, Relm will be here instead). Take Shadow to Thamasa to recuperate.
Go to the Coliseum (save, just in case!) and bet the Striker Weapon. Beat Shadow in the fight and he should rejoin your party.

LOCKE COLE
Firstly, head to the Phoenix Cave using the Airship (located in the center of the star-shaped mountain range a little below the center of the world map, north of Tzen and Kefka's Tower). Land in the small gap in the mountain range to be taken into the Cave. You'll now be split into two groups, work your way through until the end where you encounter Locke. The whole party (including Locke) should now head to Kohlingen, and after a lengthy cutscene, Locke will rejoin your party.

TERRA BRANFORD
Getting Terra back is split into two parts, firstly you need to go to Moblitz and follow the child that enters a house. You'll find several several children there and Terra. Speak to her and she'll refuse to go with you on the grounds that she can't leave the children. You'll be interrupted by Phunbaba. Fight him and after you've done enough damage, he'll flee. Speak to Terra and she'll refuse once more to leave. This is part one done!
Come back to Moblitz later on and go back to the cave where the children are located. Speak to the children and they will say that Katarin is missing and Terra and Duane have gone to look for her. Go to the house on the left to find Duane, speak to him and then take the "hidden" staircase (follow the doggy!) You'll find Katarin and Terra. Speak to both and Duane will turn up. Phunbaba will also make an appearance, take him down for good this time to retrieve Terra for your party.

UMARO
Put both Locke and Mog (Mog IS important, Locke isn't. You just want him to pick lock the doors!) and head to Narshe.
Head to the Narshe Mines (swinging by the Weapon Shop for Ragnarok and the house directly north for the Cursed Shld if you haven't got them - that's why you need Locke).
Go through the mine until you reach Tritoch. Take him down and then jump into the cave below. Work your way through until you get to Umaro's den. Examine the skull and prepare for a fight. Take down Umaro and then Mog will persuade him to join your party.
