This was pretty neat. Yuffie is a energetic, little monkey and her gameplay is really good. I also liked the combo attacks with Sonon a lot. The boss fights here are definitely on the same level as FF7 Remake at least, though the mechanics elevate the fun just this tiny bit.
The mini games are also really fun, Fort Condor is really engaging and the tournament was a cute idea, especially with all the characters showing up.
The climbing sections are kinda cool and make the linear dungeons even more fun to go through.
All in all though it merely builds on the gameplay foundations of FF7 Remake and while it serves as a cool introduction to Yuffie and the story told here isn't even bad, it's ends a bit abruptly and you can tell, that was more of an extended ending. I really like that it highlighted the struggle of the common folk a bit though and even made a point about one of the Avalanche splinter groups trying to advocate for unions and voting rights. Deepground from Dirge of Cerberus making an appearance was also kinda cool, at least as long as they only stay minor antagonists for cool boss fights.
After the last boss though I felt like it just... evaporated. This weird transition from Yuffie being all sad and distraught to her whistling while leaving Midgar was a bit jarring tbh.
Anyway would still probably replay this, even if it were to be only for the fights and the fun sections. All in all still real good DLC that brings Yuffie, the common folk and Wutai better and earlier into the world of FF7.
