Why Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Tweaked Yuffie and Sonon’s Appearances

When the trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the PS5 version of the FF7 Remake, dropped as part of Sony’s State of Play event in February, news that Yuffie would be headlining two DLC chapters drew the most attention. Focusing on Yuffie for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project will expand the world of the original game, and it sounds like a lot of time and effort has been put in to give Yuffie, and her partner Sonon, a unique narrative.

The materia hunter has been a fan favorite in a cast full of very well-liked Final Fantasy characters, but Yuffie’s story in the original Final Fantasy 7 is never given time to shine. The nation of Wutai feels almost tacked on to the original game, but in the Remake, it comes up in news reports. However, in Intergrade, fans will finally get to learn much more of Yuffie and Sonon’s story.

In a recent interview with Testuya Nomura, more details about what FF7 Remake Intergrade will be like were revealed, including how Yuffie and Sonon changed during development. Nomura reveals that Sonon, an Avalanche-sympathizer and skilled fighter, was originally supposed to be more of a “bishonen” type character, a younger pretty boy type. But as production went on, Nomura and his staff changed Sonon’s design to that of an older, more experienced fighter. The reasoning behind the change was to show fans a different side of Yuffie, having her interact with someone older, rather than a beautiful teenager like Cloud.

Yuffie’s chapters in FF7 Remake Intergrade will feature new materia and new summons, though just what those will be has not been revealed yet. In the original game, Yuffie starts out with the Steal materia, so it could be one that makes an appearance in Intergrade.

When adding characters to the mix for the FF7 Remake project, it makes sense to start with Yuffie as she is the character who was most significantly cut out of the FF7 world. Yuffie had a fair amount of backstory cut from the original game, and finally got a little more room to grow in FF7: Dirge of Cerberus. Intergrade looks to be correcting this by bringing in Yuffie and Sonon, and will be the only FF7 Remake DLC before Square Enix goes full steam ahead on Part 2 of the Remake.

Nomura has offered up a good deal of information on the Remake project, which is why it is surprising to hear that Nomura will not be directing FF7 Remake Part 2. That doesn’t mean Nomura is out entirely, he will be staying on as a creative director, overseeing the general direction of the project.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will be available June 10th on PS5.
