Yuffie Was Chosen Over Vincent For Final Fantasy 7 Remake DLC Because He's Canonically Sleeping

From TheGamer: "Yuffie Kisaragi and Vincent Valentine were optional characters in the original Final Fantasy 7, so you could play through the entire game without ever recruiting them. But with coming chapters of the ambitious remake, they are now poised to become permanent members of your party."

Well obviously, unless they wanna have a DLC about his dreams

lucian2291040d ago

Literally this is so common sense lmao

Yea but the article had this great line:

"As for whether or not the likes of Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and all of the other spin-offs are considered canon in this universe, Toriyama-san describes Final Fantasy 7 Remake as a “coming together” of all these different materials."

We all already knew this took place after Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. Anyone who played the game to the end would have figured that out. This isn't a secret.

SDuck1039d ago

Kingdom Hearts is Vincent's dreams confirmed

gold_drake1039d ago

dont you start giving nomura ideas, stop it! haha xD

-Foxtrot1040d ago

Buuuut Yuffie was never in Midgard if we are going by canon so….

Should have been a DLC focused on Biggs, Wedge and Jessie

lucian2291040d ago

That combat would be immensely boring as they aren't really for actual fighting. That's why they have cloud and barret.

Yuffie could easily stray to midgar, you don't know she wasn't there as the original never said she was or wasn't.

Even then enough events changed in the Canon story to allow her to come Vincent however is in a coffin, and while it would still be possible to be let out early that'd remove a cool boss fight encounter for the cast.

-Foxtrot1040d ago

I don't know man, I saw some bits in the game where they could fight, maybe not as over the top as Cloud and the gang but they could

Jessie, in some ways, could have played like Yuffie

Just seems like they forced Yuffie in to sell the DLC with a familiar face...

Michiel19891040d ago

@fox i mean in the original Yuffie literally popped up out of nowhere. I dont even think we had heard anything about her hometown by then. I dont think its that forced, its more setting her up for the next part if they follow the original and have her pop up out of nowhere or something similar. If they didnt set something up for her before she joins your party, then it would either become her story being as uninteresting as it was in the original, or have a crapton of expositionary (struggling with this word) dialogue to set her up as a fleshed out character.

Ataraxias1040d ago (Edited 1040d ago )

Yuffie/Cloud can fall from multiple stories and not take real damage. Jessie falls off a porch and is out of commission. There's a clear difference in the way people are built in the FF7 world.

djl34851039d ago

There is literally nothing in canon stating that she wasn't in Midgar. So cry more.

MeteorPanda1039d ago

l mean...we don't know that - yuffie is found randomly out in fields, she's a roamer.

it makes sense she'd visit midgar

gold_drake1039d ago (Edited 1039d ago )

true, however you can encounter her on the same island.
i think it was perfect to make her appear in a dlc. it gave her more of a reason to go with cloud and co.

her VA was also a perfect fit for her character, so i was happy enough ha.

They made such a big deal on how this is a different timeline and how they're changing everything, but now they're using the canon to justify their choices?

OhReginald1040d ago

But does the Canon even matter anymore? Like come on now....

TheColbertinator1039d ago

Exactly. Not even a remake more like a spiritual reinterpretation.

NukeDaHippies1039d ago

That term is pretty accurate and pisses me off lol

Final Fantasy VII Remake Cutscenes Changed With New Patch, Comparison Inside

A new patch for Square Enix's action role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, has brought changes to certain cutscenes.

If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum73d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos73d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay73d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing6973d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

AdonisIsBeast73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook773d ago (Edited 73d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai72d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

andy8573d ago

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague73d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d73d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee72d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince198172d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy73d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast73d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger8873d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing6973d ago (Edited 73d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy8573d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake73d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos73d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

franwex73d ago

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake73d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"
