Yuffie Kisaragi: The Wutai Ninja (Intergrade DLC)
Yuffie Kisaragi, a fan-favorite character from the original Final Fantasy VII, makes her playable debut in the INTERMISSION DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. As a skilled ninja from the Wutai region, Yuffie brings a unique set of abilities and a distinct playstyle to the game, focusing on speed, agility, and powerful ninjutsu attacks.
Yuffie Kisaragi is a pivotal new character introduced in the INTERMISSION DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. She is a young, energetic ninja from the Wutai government, sent on a clandestine mission to infiltrate Shinra's headquarters and steal a powerful Materia. Her combat style is fast-paced and relies heavily on her large shuriken, ninjutsu abilities, and the unique Synergy skills she can perform with her companion, Sonon Kusakabe. Yuffie's inclusion adds a fresh perspective to the narrative and a dynamic new combat option for players.
Yuffie's Combat Style
Yuffie's fighting style is characterized by her speed and her sature weapon, the large shuriken. She can throw her shuriken at enemies, which then returns to her, dealing damage on both the outbound and inbound journeys. This allows for consistent damage output even when she's not directly in melee range.
- Shuriken Throws: Yuffie can throw her shuriken with great force, and it can be imbued with elemental properties using Materia.
- Ninjustu Abilities: She possesses several ninjutsu skills that can inflict status ailments or deal sificant damage. These often consume ATB but offer powerful effects.
- Synergy Skills: When paired with Sonon, Yuffie can perform powerful Synergy Skills, combining their attacks for devastating effects. These are crucial for dealing with tougher enemies and bosses.
Key Abilities and Materia
Yuffie's unique abilities and how they synergize with Materia are central to her effectiveness:
- Elemental Ninjutsu: By equipping elemental Materia (Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Wind) to her weapon, Yuffie can imbue her shuriken and ninjutsu attacks with those elements, exploiting enemy weaknesses.
- B Dasar: A powerful attack that allows her to rapidly strike an enemy with her shuriken.
- Synergy Abilities: These are special moves performed in conjunction with Sonon, such as 'Synergy Break' or 'Synergy Shield', which offer offensive and defensive benefits.
Sonon Kusakabe
Sonon is Yuffie's partner on this mission. While not directly playable in the same way as the main cast, he fights alongside Yuffie and is crucial for her Synergy abilities. You can issue commands to Sonon, and he can also enter a 'Synergy Mode' with Yuffie, allowing them to combine their attacks for devastating effect. His presence is vital for tackling the challenges within the INTERMISSION DLC.
Acquiring Yuffie
Yuffie is exclusively playable within the INTERMISSION DLC, which is a separate story chapter focusing on her and Sonon's infiltration of Shinra. She is not part of the main game's cast unless You purchases and plays this downloadable content.
Yuffie's unique gameplay mechanics and her engaging storyline make her a welcome addition to the Final Fantasy VII Remake experience, offering a fresh and exciting way to engage with the game's combat system.
