Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2: 7 Enemies We NEED To Fight

7. Yuffie Kisaragi

We're kicking this list off with a left-field entry, which may be a bit of a head-scratcher for those who have played Remake Intergrade but not the original game (though there's plenty elsewhere for those players to be confused about too).

Given her ubiquity in the compilation as a whole, it's crazy to think that Yuffie was an entirely optional party member in FFVII; first appearing as a hidden opponent, intent on liberating the party of their materia.

Could an encounter like this happen in Remake Part 2?

Yuffie's appearance in Midgar and the story deviations that come with it – particularly as regards to her character's maturity, moral compass and priorities – might suggest not.

However, the distinct way in which Cloud is hinted at, but never seen by Yuffie, sets our suspicions racing. While it's true that she glimpsed Barret and Tifa, and met other members of Avalanche, she remains unaware of the existence of the rest of FFVII's playable cast.

Were Barret and Tifa to be separated from the others, we could see a situation in which the plucky ninja meets our other heroes in an adversarial position, perhaps due to some misunderstanding. That said, one of Remake's more significant changes to the original's story means that a certain Cetra might recognise Yuffie, even if the feeling isn't mutual.
