![]() ![]() She clumsily makes her way out of the building she falls through, takes a deep breath of that sweet Midgar air, and lets out a sound of disgust. After losing her balance, she is sent tumbling down some tin roofs before regaining her footing just to plummet further. When we first see her, she is humming her chipper theme song while scoping out the Midgar slums. When you pick up Intermission, you do so with a 100% chance of encountering Yuffie, and I’d say a solid 98% chance of being delighted by her. However, after seeing my friend struggle through the original, and playing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade-Episode: Intermission, I am beyond thankful they gave Yuffie and Final Fantasy fans a much kinder treatment than the original game did.įinal Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade-Episode: Intermission is a fantastic fix to all the issues that came with Yuffie and gives her the charming introduction to both players and the series that she deserves. However by Spring 2021-when Square announced Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade-it became clear they had other plans as to how to introduce Yuffie, plans that admittedly seemed both premature and unusual to older fans. Late last year, I wrote a cheeky piece on Paste about how Yuffie’s aforementioned ridiculous introduction should be left completely intact so folks get the same experience we did back in ‘97. ![]() According to them, Yuffie was young, bratty, arrogant, and inconvenient, and when she stole my party’s materia right as I was headed to the quest line I was actively pursuing, thus sending me off on a lengthy side mission, I can’t deny feeling the same sense of hostility towards her.Īfter Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced, a lot of folks speculated as to how Square would introduce the original game’s optional characters in the new series, or if they’d even be optional anymore. While I, a young girl, adored and saw myself in Yuffie, growing up everyone I knew who played Final Fantasy VII felt nearly the same way my friend did in the year of our lord 2021: they couldn’t stand her. In Final Fantasy VII, your optional companion Yuffie doesn’t just come with a wide smile and permanently unbuttoned khaki shorts-she comes with literally everything a character needs to be considered pretty god damn annoying. After three encounters and subsequent failed attempts at getting her to join Cloud and company, my friend shut off her Switch, turned to me, and said, “I seriously already can’t stand this girl.” Just recently, I watched a friend of mine spend the better part of an hour running in circles on the world map, entering random battle after random battle, attempting to recruit the spunky teen. If you do happen to stumble upon her, there are then six ways you can potentially mess up the interaction, sending her off with a couple fists full of your hard earned Gil. Just past the mythril mines and deep in the forests that surround the portside-town-turned military-base of Junon, there is a 12.5% chance of encountering Final Fantasy VII’s legendary Wutain warrior Yuffie Kisaragi. ![]()
