'I don't want to limit it to just this title I am reminded that for the next installment, it's of utmost importance not to damage the memories from the source material while reimagining it so it surpasses people's expectations.' I am reminded that for the next installment, it's of utmost importance not to damage the memories from the source material while reimagining it so it surpasses people's expectations. 'There were many things we learned from the reception of since its release, but I feel that the response was especially great for the elements we remade while being cognizant to pay homage to the source material, and I recall players' reactions were very positive,' says co-director Naoki Hamaguchi. Scarlet, a diabolical Shinra executive who gets comparatively little screentime in the original game, is one of the main villains - another example of Final Fantasy 7 Remake's expert melding of the familiar with the new. Much of it is set in established areas in and around Midgar, with a variety of familiar faces making appearances throughout. Like the base remake, Yuffie's story is grounded at least in part in nostalgia. Their fast friendship serves as the emotional core of the DLC, an element that extends even to the gameplay, which is based on the pair sycing up their attacks for large amounts of damage. She teams up with Sonon, a staff-wielding series newcomer who mostly reacts to Yuffie's rapid patter of quips with dry asides. In the DLC, Yuffie is an agent dispatched to steal a massive piece of materia rumored to be in development at Shinra Headquarters. By playing both the base game and, I think you’ll be able to understand where they are coming from, from an emotional perspective, and so I recommend playing through both.' Later, Cloud and his allies will end up encountering Yuffie in the expansive world outside of Midgar.

'As Cloud and company prepare to leave Midgar in the base game, so does Yuffie. Speaking with IGN over email, co-director Motomu Toriyama talked about the role the intermission plays in the larger story, and how it sets the stage for Cloud and company to meet Yuffie in a later installment. Happily, Yuffie's story generally moved briskly, never quite outstaying its welcome while also offering a tantalizing taste of what's to come in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, which is now in full production.

It proved to be a microcosm for both the strengths and weaknesses of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, its sparkling worldbuilding occasionally undercut by sequences that could be slow and repetitive. Yuffie's episode received strong reviews from multiple publications, which lauded its fresh take on the established combat system, its worldbuilding, and of course, Yuffie herself.
