How Final Fantasy 7 Remake Is Bringing Back An Original FF7 Character - Screen Rant

mixdes.blogspot.com

Fan-favorite Yufife of the original Final Fantasy 7 is coming to Final Fantasy 7 Remake this summer. Square Enix reintroduces the Wutai ninja in her own exclusive episode, but players will have to access her in an unique manner differing from how previous FF7 characters have been implemented into FF7 Remake.

Following the original FF7's pattern of having Yuffie be completely optional, FF7 Remake can still be enjoyed without integrating her into the party. In the 1997 game, she could randomly be encountered in the many forest areas around the open world. While players could beat the game without ever meeting her, Yuffie's distinctive fighting style and spunky personality added a refreshing element to both the gameplay and story of the original FF7. Her upcoming presence in FF7 Remake has already sparked some major interest and promises to enhance the 2020 title in a similar way.

Recruiting the "elite special forces operative for the new Wutai government" in FF7 Remake seems slightly challenging, as her Yuffie episode must be purchased separately. Additionally, Square Enix's announcement during PlayStation's State of Play was also a bit confusing, with many wondering if Yuffie will be accessible for PlayStation 4 users. The short answer is, "no," but accessing the shuriken-wielding Materia hunter in FF7 Remake doesn't have to be a complicated process. Here is a straightforward description for how to play as Yuffie in FF7 Remake as well as everything coming to the game on June 1oth, 2021.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake: How To Play The Yuffie Episode

Square Enix is providing a free, unnamed upgrade for anyone who already owns FF7 Remake for PS4 or PS5. However, the upgrade only applies to those who have a PS5, so PS4 users will need to own one to experience it. This upgrade brings improved textures, lighting, DualSense controller haptic feedback integration, and the ability to toggle between a "Graphics" and "Performance" mode. It also has a fully customizable photo mode.

The Yuffie Episode will add two chapters to FF7 Remake's current 18. It is a separate DLC purchase that all PS5 users will have to buy in order to access Yuffie and her story, which includes being able to play as her. This new episode featuring Yuffie presents an original story arc for her, having the Wutai loyalist travel to Midgar on her own to rendezvous with a different Avalanche cell than the one Barret oversees. Her mission is to steal a powerful Materia from the Shinra Electric Power Company. The Yuffie episode introduces some never-before-seen characters such as supporting AI party member, Sonon Kusakabe. At the time of writing, the cost for the Yuffie DLC is unknown.

Encompassing both the FF7 Remake PS5 upgrade and the Yuffie DLC is Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade - an enhanced and expanded version of FF7 Remake which will be selling for $69.99 this summer for those who don't already own the game or for players who own the PS Plus version of FF7 Remake. Unfortunately, the PS Plus version isn't eligible for the free upgrade. This means fans must either own a PS4 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and download the free upgrade when it comes out or just wait and purchase FF7 Remake Intergrade. Once PS5 users have done this, they can then purchase and play the Yuffie DLC if desired.
