Cat Sith made it in over Yuffie, I am happy.

Cat Sith made it in over Yuffie, I am happy.

I don't really like that character much, either. But he's at least got a semi-tragic, if kind of absurd story/character arc to him, and isn't just a materia-purloining proto-zoomer lolibait

Cait Sith is mandatory. He would've always made it over Yuffie.

 

[MasterEn]

Cait Sith is mandatory. He would've always made it over Yuffie.

yeah. vincent and yuffie seem more like the optional characters, considering that you don't need to recruit them and they aren't present in the ending cutscenes either.

Why the hate of yuffie guys? Not like she killed your family bro yeah i know having your magic stolen and constantly made fun of by a 16 year old tomboy when you are supposed to be a respected ex-soldier isn't exactly fun but come on she can throw stuff and has some decent gameplay value no? Also how the hell is she lolibait like what? I don't think they were thinking about it when they made her as a character.

no, most people don't think about that when they make characters. they found out later and they just decided to ignore the fan art.
she was annoying to me when trying to recruit her since it seemed like no matter what i did, she just left. by the time that she did join; i didn't want her on my team anymore, and i don't think i ever used her in my party.
yeah, you're right. there are much worse characters out there that deserved to be hated more. as a full grown adult in his 30's, your point is very valid. but younger me says that yuffie is a punk ass little ninja bitch who needs to be thrown into the sun via the meteor materia; and his argument is very convincing.

Fan art of girl characters always tends to be the you know type.....

Can't say you could have used emulator save like I did but you could have used emulator save.

I find her funny like how she can be arrogant and all , I think i just wasn't as hurt by my materia being stolen because it happened when i was levels above the monsters around wutai so it kinda didn't matter that much what did annoy me is how i was fooled by her this many times.

I also had her throw the javelin a weapon for Cid that i just picked up and never got to try it was pretty funny ngl

Hope she is still as annoying and as funny in the remake.

yeah, i know. i tend to draw rather voluptuous curvy babes and ladies and upload them to my gallery over on deviantart. you should see my drawings of ultimcia and quistis. it's just something that people will do.

as i mentioned before; i was playing on a playstation 1. it does not have a save state feature.

she was better in crisis core, but that's it. i haven't played the remake, but i haven't heard anything bad about her in it, so maybe she has been improved in it.

I just like Cait Sith a lot. I've got a charm of him above my desk and I used to main him in Opera Omnia before it shut down. To me it feels like he doesn't get as much attention from the fans and Square. Yuffie is a fan-favorite for a reason, but I dunno, she just doesn't vibe with me.

 

[Mopeybloke]

Are people actually hating on her? She is likely to be left out of promotional material for being a less central character back in the day. However, her popularity has endured. She got Remake's DLC for herself, and is one of the characters recurring in Kingdom Hearts as well as the compilation.

Also how the hell is she lolibait like what?

16 years old isn't loli! However, she has no boobs, and is immature. This one is hard to call.

 

[MasterEn]

i was watching a video and i saw this in it. thought it was funny:

Spoiler: mildly nsfw

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Yeah that's why i take a big gasp if I'm looking for some background or pfp that contains a female character you know how it's going to look most of the time....man gamers are weird

as i mentioned before; i was playing on a playstation 1. it does not have a save state feature.

Bad luck man

Good that you reminded me of crisis core.

I'm The total opposite i didnt like sith that much and hated him after he steals the black stone.

Yeah he redeems himself eventually but he still doesn't vibe with me that much.

I'm not really with in touch with the community i simply decided to be quite isolated when it comes to PS1 games i played only sharing my thoughts here i thought she was actually disliked

Yeah she is less central storywise but i wasn't talking about the commercial.

Good that her popularity endured she GOATED fr she even cries when at low HP i find that funny.

Ikr i was like whaaaaa? Yuffie is a loli? , yeah i think that does her better you like her for her character not for watermelons , she is pretty annoying but that's what good about her you just wonder how the hell is she the kid of a ninja master

well, if it makes you feel better, i usually keep the characters clothed. only a handful of my drawings have a character showing off a little bit too much skin, and i mark those as mature on deviantart. they still have underwear on, usually just lacking a bra or top; but they are either framed so you can't see anything, or something else is covering them up, like my recent drawing of ultimecia in my gallery. but yeah, some people can go a little overboard when drawing the ladies.

it was the mid 2000's and i didn't have a computer. gaming on a computer was a bit of a weird concept to me when i was younger, so i probably wouldn't have done it anyway.

it's the best part of ff7; played through the game i think 3 times before my psp wore out.

No I'm just bothered sometimes that anything with "female" in it suddenly turns sexual for no reason on the internet i got used to it mostly , i mean why lust over pixels and polygons when real women exist and are more detailed all around? it goes deeper than just video game characters it's a big problem regarding turning people into objects and has been debated as far as the 90s when it comes to games.

Hell first time i gamed was PC still i game on PC but emulation is on phone , PC is the way man.

For me the best part about FF7 is.....

Spoiler: That one part where seph-

that's just what the internet does. you'll just need to accept it. there's too much to go into on the second half of that paragraph, and it would be derailing the entire thread to go into here. we will just let that go and move on.

i got a laptop when i was about 20, and some time later, i started emulating, but even then; i preferred to play on consoles or handhelds. i prefer to have a controller in my hand rather than using a keyboard. i'm currently using a 3rd party ps3 controller to play games on my laptop.

ff7 is alright in my opinion. i'm not very big on the installments that are set in more modern or futuristic settings. glad that you like the game though. i just mainly like crisis core.

Well it's what you are used to , personally i faint if i get a controller had to practice like 2-3 good months nearly daily on my friend PS3 when we played COD BO2 to actually get good.

I like the change that went during FF7 yes i do get the change was a big leap but for a more modern device the game deserved to have a more modern setting

yeah, one of my first memories is playing super mario bros 1 in my living room. i've recently gotten used to using one controller for different systems on my computer. it just takes time and practice.

that is a fair argument; but ff9 is vastly superior to 7, 8, and 13; and it takes place in a medieval setting.
sooo....
we will just agree on people will like different games for different reasons, and that's all good.

While i disagree about FF9 being better than 7 but not to cause any world shattering arguments we gonna agree to disagree

yeah, patience is very important. playing rpgs and strategy games have helped build that skill up for me.

I don't really think the meme dislike of her persists that much these days. Also yea she isn't sexualized that much as far as I remember so I wouldn't rly put her in the category of unfortunately sexualized teenage characters or anything. Maybe she hits on Cloud a bit in OG? Haven't played rebirth to know what goes on there. Either way I'm sure its not /that bad/. I think people are just so tired of underage sexualization that they tend to be a bit too trigger happy in labeling any character under 18 that shows skin gooner/pedobait. It is very unfortunate!

She was likely less popular and less likely to get merch and mentions back in the day due to being a side character in the original game, and an optional one at that. Still, she is pretty prominently featured in Dirge of Cerberus so clearly by the mid-2000s the devs understood she had fans and wanted to flesh her out more. She got a whole DLC with Integrade so she is absolutely getting the respect she deserves at this point.

I love her and honestly I do think she's great fun. Always a fan of spunky and tomboyish characters, she was everything I wanted to be when I grew up (when you're 7, a 16 year old may as well be an adult to you haha). Always was a huge fan and always will be <3

i've always got the impression that yuffie and vincent were late additions to the game, considering that they are not present in the ending cgi cutscenes, which is aided by the fact that they are optional to recruit and don't add much to the story overall. some lore is added with them, but nothing earth-shattering.
but considering that we have a completely different protagonist for the game compared to the early stuff being worked on for the snes version, i think the time constraint that the game was under hindered the full potential the game could have had.

Oh most certainly! I wouldn't be surprised if they outright admit that Yuffie and Vincent were late additions in the Ultimanium (rly need to pick those up at some point). It's also probably why the decision to have Vincent get a spin-off game with Yuffie as a very prominent side character was made. Couldn't flesh em out right in the main game so may as well give em their due in a spin-off!

it's pretty plausible. a long time ago i was reading some fun facts on the wiki, and apparently cloud was going to have black hair, but was given yellow hair because that shows off the graphical prowess of the psx, which is also the same reason tidus is blonde in ffx, and why terra is blonde in dissidia alongside ignus in the game.
you were supposed to play as a detective in the snes version, cloud, tifa and barret were supposed to be antagonists who might have joined up with the main character later.
the superbosses, the emerald and ruby weapons, i think it was, weren't not in the japanese version of the first release of the game; they were exclusive to america until the international re-release.
aerith was meant to be playable for nearly the full game, since there is code and dialog for her to appear in areas and scenes long after she is dead.
three years of work, restarted twice, started with the snes, then n64 and then finally psx.
there's no telling what kind of game we would have gotten if it stayed on just one system from start to finish.
i'm quite surprised that the game works and functions as well as it does. it had about as much real development time as a nes game.
