One of the
NPCs from
Final Fantasy 7. She's a
Materia Hunter,
Ninja, and
my goddess (one of many). A
secret character, she can be found by fighting in most woodland areas after the
Mythril Mines. After defeating her, she joins your group. Her
motives seem rather suspect,
to say the least.
Yuffie is the youngest of the NPCs in
FF7, aged only
16. She was born and raised in
Wutai after the country was defeated by the
Shinra, and is the daughter of
Lord Godo, the country's leader. She seems to be fiercely
patriotic, wanting to restore Wutai to it's
former glory, a task she intends to perform by collecting as much
Materia as possible. I think you can
guess now why she wants to join your party <g>. The sidequest that ensues is,
IMO, the most
enjoyable part of the game, and features everyone's favourite
Turks.
Yuffie is a decent fighter,
wielding a range of weapons including
boomerangs,
shuriken and even a
pinwheel. Her
Rising Sun weapon is superb. She also has excellent
magical potential and probably the best set of
limit breaks in the game, barring
Aeris. She can be taken on the infamous
Gold Saucer date, although it's
very hard to get her there (second only to
Barret). The result is absolutely hilarious, though.
Despite being a
secret character, Yuffie has more personality than some lead characters, and is always
good for a laugh. Her little
air-punching routines always crack me up, and her various pieces of theme music are some of the highlights of the
OST. As with
Vincent, the other secret character, she
does not appear in the ending sequence, as space restrictions on the final
CD meant that alternative endings could not be included.
Curses.
