This Yuffie Theory Is Pretty DARK! | Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade

[@Jacky_boy001]

Something I feel gets overlooked, is despite yuffie being a bit egotistical and a total klutz, she's not stupid. She's consistently been a great manipulator, from shopkeeper's, to battle hardened soldiers. The fact reeve decided to make her head of information gathering and espionage is proof of that.

[@JL0ndon]

Even in crisis core she knows how to manipulate Zack into getting what she wants

[@Antsibus]

"New Wutai Goverment" sounds like something Yuffie would form herself as a kinda rebel group of her own to fight shinra oppression and defy her dad at the same time.

[@nickellis6530]

Yes, this makes so much sense. Think Timber Owls 😉

[@flyaroundyourfire]

I love yours and Max’s videos! Keep up the good work it ticks us along until the next instalment 😊

[@RazuYazu]

After seeing the FF7R Twitter account say that Sonon trained under Yuffie's father, a part of me now wonders if he sees Yuffie as a sister because of that.

[@Dewulfi]

Most likely, or Sonon has sister that did something.

[@sarthakarora3212]

I think he was adopted.

[@RIELTURO]

What are you doing step brother

[@manaswin123]

this is what likely to happen, but i dont want it to be that simple...

[@Anverto90]

Plot twist: Yuffie was the kid that disguised as a Moogle in Sector 5 the whole time.

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

Would be funny if she stole his outfit or something lop

[@adrianfuentes4009]

Maybe she was the little girls hero first... She might have saved the girls life from the falling disk...

[@FVD]

Dirge of Cerberus is a game that could greatly benefit from going the Devil May Cry route.

[@Corfield81]

the "I'm not your sister" I think is referring to Soron being trained by Yuffie's Dad but he isn't her brother

[@Asblomma]

Yuffie leaving Midgar together with Zack at the end of intergrade would put poop in my pants.

[@xrosesc]

They did meet in crisis core actually..

[@Orto-jj2di]

@@xrosesc cool. Then they'll get along quite well

[@DScythe911]

Main theory I have is that the "Ultimate Materia" Yuffie is after in Midgard in her DLC will turn out to be the Protomateria. She discovers it's not in Midgar after all and sets out to find it. She'll then run into Cloud and the gang and decides to join them, hoping it could help lead her to the Protomateria. Of course this leads to her breaking into Shinra Masion with the others in Nibelheim in which she meets Vincent who has said Protomateria incased in his chest.

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

There's still some time to delete this

[@EvilDude1]

I can 100% imagine this being the case. If there were rumors that Shinra was in possession of the Protomateria -- which it could be argued that they technically are as it's in Shinra Mansion -- it would give Wutai reason to believe it was somewhere in Midgar. *Plot twist, she's actually after Holy and she tries to kill Aerith.

[@LovelessDogg1]

Rufus Shinra has been funding Avalanche as well.

[@SeanGA1]

Maybe something in Yuffies story will explain why Rufus can see the whispers.

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

Some speculate his mom is Ifalna, making him Cetra and Aerith's brother

[@orwellianwiress]

I've always been scared of Yuffie, so your theory checks out.

[@bryandingler213]

Did anybody else notice that when Yuffie was playing with the materia it changed color/type like she swiped them out in literally the blink of an eye?

[@Dewulfi]

It is a trick, she is a ninja and talented thief.

[@Knocker420]

WOW!! So much to take in.. I do like your theories and I also enjoyed the Dirge of Cerberus clips. Now I’m wondering how soon Vincent might make his appearance!!

[@Mrequine1]

their is a large pot hole in yuffie back story!! how did she know that cloud and the rest of the team had matiria?? how did she know to target them to steal their matiria!!! she was obviously has been following the group from midgar

[@hamzaguerra4301]

In the world Materia is slotted into weapons and armor so it should be visible and Clouds outfit is SOLDIER so safe to say he would have

[@ashtonv418]

As a note, the "I am not your sister" line was also used in FFXIII... in a similar fast-movement vehicle/train scene.

[@ashtonv418]

Back then it was Lightning saying it to Snow... up now, it is Yuffie saying it to Sonona. Maybe they are all types of " l'Cie " across the games?

[@m60122]

[@d-dashmedia6010]

I think you’ve got a great point about elfe being sonons sister what a great theory my dude

[@NatoShinobi]

Weiss used Chadley because he is a sinless robot. If they use the sinless sleeper cells, they are pure enough not to Jack up the life stream. Since Vices ass is busy trying to get the pure life stream, maybe Sephiroth is purple because he is the dark life stream? Dunno I flew off the edge

[@Baye1980]

Interesting theory/ prediction.Great editing as usual! Love these types of videos keep em coming!🧐🤔🤯❤️

[@dezmundogaming8780]

Im really digging the prospect of the ff7 universe embracing its spiritual/ metaphysical themes. I also feel it speaks well to the emerging zeitgeist of our time. 👌🏾

[@blackmanwithcomputer]

Yeah, I think Sonon might get taken and experimented on and come back as a major source of motivation and guilt for Yuffie.

[@TheOppositeOfLegend]

Is it possible that Yuffie and Sonan are the ones that made them attempt on President Shinra's life that was mentioned during REMAKE?

[@Aceondacase]

🤷🏾‍♂️it’s possible because no other team would have down and we played main avalanche the whole time< so yeah wuitai is the other and only option that makes sense 💯to help your case she is literally giving an avalanche group a speech of how she will take some sort of action at shinra to show wutai isnt to be messed with.

[@EvilDude1]

I highly doubt it; in the trailer it seems like Yuffie and Sonon are meeting each other for the first time: ". . . anyway, it's nice to meet you, I'm Sonon Kosakobe." Also, I would assume this is happening right before they see Barret and Tifa talking about losing Cloud. Heidegger mentions the attempt at the president's life during the first bombing mission, a couple days before they would have been separated for Cloud. If anything, Sonon -- perhaps accompanied by members of AVALANCHE -- was part of that attempt, but it certainly wasn't with Yuffie.

[@TheOppositeOfLegend]

@Nathan Struble yeah except things are already changed in the timeline...futhermore, it was never stated when it occurred during REMAKE so how can you say for sure that it's a prior event.....

[@luisburgos7365]

@@TheOppositeOfLegend because it’s a prior event. It happens before the first chapter of the game xD

[@TheOppositeOfLegend]

@@luisburgos7365 and where is your proof that it did?

[@FVD]

And additionally, it would be lovely to see newly rendered cutscenes to match the original games, but after seeing Zack running atop the train in Crisis Core, maybe we won't see any? Although, seeing their remake designs in the battle sequences gives me some hope... 🤞🤔

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

Yuffie DLC is $20 it seems, crazy how hard it still is to get a PS5, may the wutai rose fist of justice smite the scalpers. But I can understand why Square are eager to build everything going forward optimised for the new console. Also 15-20 hours is waaay too generous, dunno what im saying. I think its because I made bro episodes last that long, getting smacked by gilgamesh, snow mobile racing with prompto etc :D Likely this can be finished 4-6 hours maybe but I wonder if there will be a mini game of some sort. Any suggestions?

[@Asblomma]

Might be an extended ending to part 1 if you finished the dlc

[@Ceeckoful]

Imagine yuffie proves herself but in the end sacrifices her self to save the party and is killed by sephiroth.

[@TheRealVincentValentine]

She is the Daughter of Godo

[@absolutezero6423]

"Of course". (as she would say). her companion would call her boss. She actually is important back in Wutai.

[@laviathan4713]

[@Hexen555]

And make it 2 hour podcast or more

[@spiderhulk26]

And Would sleepezi

[@loaeterna2384]

Yeah i doubt she would have died that way, its probably just got killed by soldiers during the war. Also Sonon will probably survive and we will met him again in Wutai during the main game. Also i'm really happy Weiss has been confirmed as just a VR boss, nothing to do with the main story, the less Dirge the better.

[@Ace-eu4ui]

Hate to break it to you, but they were silent as to the reason he's in the game soooo.....

[@zekiel2533]

Deepground soilders are on the game. They're from dirge.

[@andrewdias2690]

So many thoughts... First, I don't think SE has released a price for the DLC alone (they said $70 for the full game on PS5), so it's likely not going to be $60 just for the 2 chapter DLC. Also, it's a really interesting theory here. I especially like the idea of Deep Ground working its way in with a Yuffie back story in the Remake. If your theory is true (that she inadvertently killed Sonon's sister) then that makes the line delivery - "Yeah, but I'm not your sister" - quite douchey. She seems defiant and disgusted, which would be really bold/abhorrent if she actually had killed his sister. I do have to say, I was one of the people who absolutely despised the mess that SE pulled with the final chapter of the Remake. That said, this DLC makes me quite excited. Now, I'm still not a convert, but the release of Ever Crisis helps to fill the "remake need," albeit not as completely as it would be if it was full AAA console. Of course that'll change if they do the same bait-and-switch that they did with Remake. All in all, I'm training myself to accept this "Remake" as a completely new game/story with characters that I love, which helps to soften the insult of the ending of Part I. We'll see how it goes.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

I hope the red materia she has in the promo art means we get to see a new summon, I wonder if it will be the original Chocobo & Moogle.

[@TheRealVincentValentine]

I wonder if they will introduce fujhitos avalanche branch as a cameo or a lore bit

[@animefreddiemercury]

So Yuffie is literally a Wutai Nationalist? Also I've liked what they've done so far, but I do get worried if they start bringing in much more of the compilation

[@JasonTStewart7]

Technically it should be called the "Involuntary Manslaughter Yuffie Theory"

[@lrodrigues7488]

Are you going to write any screenplays or games? Your version or final fantasy 15 and this understanding of Yuffie is way better than the trash the square writrrs came up with. I hope you get to writing one day. Your mind is filled with gold.

[@ashiraecho2039]

Speaking of near automata, nier Replicant comes out soon. I hope you play it pez. It's so good. It's the prequel to automata. Loved your playthrough and review of automata. I hope the gaming community can recognize replicants beauty just like they did with automata. It's a hidden gem for sure

[@lawthirtyfour2953]

You aren't paying 70$ for the DLC. You pay $70 if you are buying a brand new copy of the based game + DLC. Otherwise you are just paying $20

[@Silentbobx]

Pretty sure this’ll also come out for Xbox Series X/S as well. They never said in the trailers that this is a Sony Exclusive nor have the words been used. We’ll just have to see after April 10th what will happen.

Can you post a link of the Wutai theme you have playing in the background in the beginning please?

[@qanondorfkingoftheqerudo8946]

I just hope the game isn't chopped up into 10 parts. That is what could cause some distaste and even cause this FF7R effort to fizzle at the end. I DOUBT that happens but caution is important here. We want MORE remakes after 7. Other than that give us everything you've got SQEX.

[@HallowedHero]

Before I watch the rest of the video, Yuffie was the one who stole Johnny's ID and tried to use it to steal a blasting agent. I'm calling it, now.

[@PhantomyreValentine]

Pez' reaction to Weiss is perfect. XD!!

[@Ceeckoful]

Pes, I think Zack Is gonna be the leader of avalanche working from wutai, I think that's why yuffie is in Midgard instead of robbing people, Zack went back and changed things because we alted the time line.

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

I like the idea! Zack saving jessie/biggs etc and working with the avalanche members barrett mentioned. Tie that with Zack trying to redeem his involvement in the defeat of wutai, could be pretty cool!

[@Ceeckoful]

@@FinalFantasyPeasant Also has the idea that guy yuffie works with gets trapped in deep ground maybe he has to close the doors behind him or something rather than dying.

[@DoeSwiftandBond]

What if Yuffie is working along Zack? They both have huge wutai ties. Also perhaps Barrett was lying and avalanche has much deeper wutai affiliation than he led on to be

[@forgetfulfoe1627]

I like this theory, but the DoC side of things still hasn't happened yet. The whispers might be gone but it doesn't mean future yuffie is back in Midgar? Especially as episode yuffie takes place before the whispers are gone. So the oblivion and marking on yuffie hasn't happened yet. Omega Weiss hasn't happened either. I can agree if you went from cc and bc.

[@blackmanwithcomputer]

Also, I think Minerva and (a new more humble and chill) Genesis will be the endgame of Part 2. With Crisis Core being made canon, that means Minerva is canon, and she is about beat the shit out of everyone fucking with the planet's will.

[@meghanhause9435]

I also think that Minervia is a "true" evil, because she found out via the lifestream that is was going to be replaced by the an Ancient, while this was the norm with the planet, but unlike the pervious Goddesses before her, she refuse to accepted it, so she was the one that brought Jenova the planet, knowing that it would kill all of the Ancients.

[@RaysofLight98]

If this theory is true, it would put a gritty realism to the war with Wutai. War stories aren't glamourous. I'd like there to be a moment in the future of this game that really drives home how children dream of being heroes, but the adults know that they don't exist.

[@carlossepulveda3789]

I bet Yuffie is the one that saves biggs and Jessie calling it now and I bet her contact in Midgar is zack! and I bet they work together later before the main team comes together she could also be working with reeve he could be the inside contact also from shinra

[@chrisc7528]

You have the best theories !!!

[@kenshin391]

Is Jessie still alive? Or did she die in the bombing run?

[@kultkayleigh]

To answer the whole Yuffie and Vincent thing - Yuffie is a giant source of light right, Vincent is the darkness; they balance each other out perfectly. Yin and Yang :) cant have darkness without the light (and vice versa, where there is dense darkness there is equal light). It wouldn't make sense to have any other character balancing Vince, cos well Aeris (YES NOT AERITH, ahem) is a bit too pure shes not bubbly like the Yuffster, Tifa is like Aeris too mature it wouldnt balance Vincent cos he needs that spark. I've always shipped Vince and Yuffie XD cute couple no? Cmon you know its true! ALSO, Pez, remake isnt called remake cos its a 'remake', no it IS Sephiroths remake - his RE-DO of the past. This makes so much sense. This is the other hidden meaning Nomura was hinting at but wouldnt speak of... yet.

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

Totally agree and well put! This is sephs ng+ and he has control over the narrative now. Yuffie defo counterbalances vincent but also rub off on each other no? We see vince ground his uncontrollable chaos powers through his emotions at one point, without the proto materia! So Yuffies light defo rubbed off on him, but how much happened vice versa? Yuffie literally going into the darkness and experiancing what she did in deepground and at the sister ray. She's a chirpy character who has seen some pretty dire stuff :O Thats why I want Vince/Yuffie to be an important duo in part 2, if it goes to the first nibelheim visit that is :D

[@claytalian9091]

Interesting theory. Definitely don't think we're gonna see Vincent anytime soon. We'd be lucky to make it to Junon in part 2. And the PS5 has been out like half a year and most people still can't even get it. SE is basically rewarding like 2-3% of the fanbase for being able to preorder a console before scalpers got them all. It is completely justifiable for fans to be pissed that the dlc is locked behind a $500 console that no one can buy. And the fact that SE has basically dine little to update the PS4 version of FF7R makes it pretty clear they abandoned the game at launch in favor of the PS5 version, which is kinda insulting to their customers tbh.

[@EvilDude1]

Do you mean you don't think we'll make it to Nibelheim? Junon is like the first major location visited after Kalm, which is where we'll probably start part two. As for the DLC, while I would usually understand Square to gate it behind the PS5 under normal circumstances, I completely agree that it's a shitty move considering how hard it is to get one. Unless Sony can get serious stock rolling out before June, a lot of us are going to miss out on DLC early on.

[@FVD]

@@EvilDude1 I think Part 2 will finish in Nibelheim/Mt Nibel too. I reckon Part 3 could start in Gongaga, as I believe it would be a nice way for the party to meet Zack's parents, etc...

[@DevilHunter1994]

I feel like a lot of people forget just how early Junon is...If we don't even get that far, we'll basically have accomplished nothing at all. I see the Remake being either three or four parts, but no more than four. If we're lucky and it's three parts, then the next game will probably end at The Reunion, though that would be a lot of ground to cover in one game. If we take the more realistic option and go four parts, then it'll probably end at Nibelheim. We'll start part 2 by jumping right into the Nibelheim flashback and end it by seeing the real Nibelheim fully restored.

[@FVD]

@@DevilHunter1994 I'm hoping it will be 5 parts. If we get an instalment every 2 years then count that as a decade of FFVII-R - with DLC's in between... Part 3 could end with after where Aerith dies thus ending that game at the Northern Crater with an Empire Strikes Back-like revelation, Black Materia an' all - and then Part 4 could begin in Mideel where Tifa tries to piece Cloud's memories together. Maybe it could be done in 4 parts, but we'll see... 🤔

[@greatgrizzly3537]

They said the upgrade is free once you already got the game for ps4, the yuffie dlc will be around 15-30 bucks, hopefully the former

[@6Kubik]

Do you know abou the Remake facts from the book Material Ultimania and walk through midgar? Someone on tumblr/twitter translate parts of it and shared them. There is a lot about the design of the characters and even how long it takes Cloud to style his hair! They talk about a cut episode of Tifa, how the Turks have to write apology letters if they fail a mission and about Zacks survival. A few "facts" are more or less headcanons from stuff members, but there is very interessting stuff: aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/633773813240381441

[@eternaldarkness2101]

You do know this, ain't happening rite! Square will settle for something simple, to wheel the new player in, nothing to shabby. It sounds cool, but whatever, I see remake as a more standalone title seperate from the original and the compilation it's a mashup, sequel. everything has been mainly retconned, wanna stick to all the lore you researched, all that will all be added in Ever Crisis, remake is a mashup with stuff that made the most sense instead of applying every piece of logic, convoluted crap that never had any real bearing on og, like Weiss for instance killing the lovable flower girl. She tainted, Cloud's party are tainted. "Let the hunt begin" I guess Cloud's party have been marked for termination, as one motive, including the AVALANCHE cells, a new Wutai War the npcs constantly talk about throughout part one, there other motive is gaining the black and white materia and proto materia. Square even mentioned betrayal in a good way...I don't want to delve too deep with what they mean, obviously it has something to do with Cloud's party. Great theory as always man.

I knew they would force ps5 eventually, I just didn't expect so soon. I figured they would let us get about halfway before issuing mandates to upgrade, especially since the ps5 has been out for how long now and it's still just as hard to get one as they were day one? I figured they would at least wait until either scalpers were dealt with or supply/distribution met a reasonable standard. Now it just seems petty. Especially since they only released 1 thing before demanding people upgrade and with that basically demanding people shell out at least triple msrp before being allowed to continue. I'm sorry but for 1.8k my ps5 had better be an exact replica of midgar and offer features that are unique to that model. Otherwise I should be looking to build a pc, but wait there's more...pc components are also stuck in this hostage negotiation. If they hadn't already set the the bar for themselves that ps4 would be a reasonable outlet to play from and made it exclusive to boot, it wouldn't come across as tone deaf as it currently does.
