Yuffie, the skilled assassin and materia seeker, debuted as a playable character in Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade, leading fans to anticipate her inclusion in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. True to expectations, she does join your party, albeit after a wait.
Yuffie becomes part of your party at the conclusion of Chapter 6, just before transitioning to Chapter 7. That’s the spoiler-free summary. If that’s all you need to know, you can stop here.
Delving a bit deeper, her introduction occurs at the end of the Costa Del Sol segment, right before access to the rest of the northern Corel region.
However, the party encounters Yuffie much earlier in Chapter 4, within Junon. Initially a disruptive presence, she undermines the team’s efforts until ultimately saving them from Hojo.
Yuffie’s combat style mirrors her appearance in Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade. Armed with a large shuriken, she employs both short and long-range attacks, resorting to Ninjitsu magic when necessary. Hailing from Wutai, she holds the distinction of being the youngest human member of the team at 16 years old. Notably, she has rectified the oversight of her shorts’ fly since Intergrade.
For clarity, Yuffie officially joins at the conclusion of Chapter 6.
