[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Yuffie makes an appearance when Zack invades Wutai. She describes herself as "Wutai's Strongest Warrior". Zack plays along with her antics and she runs off. After losing to Midgar, Wutai's ruling figure Godo Kisaragi, Yuffie's father, began to turn their home into a tourist attraction for outsiders. This did not suit Yuffie who eventually began running off, stealing Materia from unaware travelers. Later on in the game, when Zack is at Mako Reactor 5, he gets mail from someone named "Treasure Princess" looking for someone to help her steal treasure. It later turns out to be Yuffie using the information she received from a "blond man" to enlist Zack's help to find treasures (This blond man is speculated to either be Lazard Deusericus or Rufus Shinra in the Crisis Core Ultimania but neither is ever confirmed.) By the end of their working relationship, Yuffie manages to steal Zack's Bahamut Fury materia but returns it as she is unable to use it.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Yuffie is one of two secret characters in Final Fantasy VII (the other being Vincent Valentine), and is a materia hunter. She can be found in any forest on the World Map after leaving the Mythril Mine at any point in the game. Yuffie's level will be adjusted depending upon the player's current level. If the player defeats her in combat and then chooses a series of correct answers in dialogue with her, she will join the party. An incorrect answer causes her to steal something and flee. She wears an outfit that appears to be the traditional garb of Wutai; she is the daughter of Wutai's ruler, Godo. She and her father disagree over the continuous trend of turning Wutai into a tourist attraction. However, after proving herself by beating the bosses of Wutai's Five Story Pagoda, her father begins to understand the reasoning behind her position. Her tendency toward motion sickness serves as something of a running gag throughout the game. Yuffie also runs away with the Party's materia on a side mission in Wutai. They try to get it back, but Yuffie keeps playing tricks on them and escaping. In the end, she gives the materia back after being saved from Don Corneo. At the end of disc one, it is possible to get Cloud to go on a date with either her, Aeris, Tifa, or Barret. At the date, however, Cloud ignores all of her movements toward him, and gets smacked more than twice. She is the only character to kiss Cloud in the date sequence.
Being an optional character, she was not included in the ending FMV of the game, though can still be used in the Final Dungeon at the Northern Crater and the Final Battle with Safer Sephiroth. This is remedied by the opening of Dirge of Cerberus, which shows her and Vincent at Midgar, evacuating the citizens and Shin-Ra personnel before Meteor hit. After placing an injured Rufus Shinra aboard a helicopter, Yuffie warns Vincent to be careful in his search of the Mako Cannon. She later saves him as the building collapses from a lightning strike.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
- "All right, who's been touching my materia?"
- —Yuffie in Advent Children
Yuffie makes a cameo in Advent Children along with all the other playable characters in the game. She arrives in Edge via Cid's airship (still showing signs of motion sickness after parachuting down). She helps the party to defeat Bahamut SIN, and brings Cloud's collection of Materia to the ruins of Midgar aboard the Shera.
During the bonus feature "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII," Yuffie sends a 'Closed for Business' sign to Barret through Strife Delivery Service as a way of getting Cloud to take a day off. She also seems to call Vincent Valentine in the time after Advent Children, because Vincent asks Cloud to relay a message to her, claiming that she has no right to call his phone.
[edit] Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-
Being forced into joining the World Regenesis Organization, Yuffie is in charge of the espionage and intelligence gathering. Her first appearance in the game is when she finds Vincent lying on the floors of the Shin-Ra Mansion, where Rosso is about to kill him. She rescues him from Rosso and takes him to the WRO building a second time. She never gets to fight along side Vincent but she does try to attempt to help. You can talk to her several times on the Shera and she still carries her motion sickness with her. She drops out of the back of the Shera during the seige of Midgar, leading the troops from the airships to the ground for battle. She is seen last in the final FMV in Seventh Heaven, asking Tifa where Vincent is.

Her shuriken is a powerful long distance weapon, and she casts Healing spells on both herself and Leon.
