Episode INTERMission will see players play as Yuffie, utilising her “signature battle style” against the forces of Shinra as she undertakes a mission to steal their “most powerful materia. Square Enix have said that Yuffie: “has a unique play style which allows her to throw her iconic massive throwing star at enemies.
“During that time, she is able to attack with long-range ninjutsu that can be augmented with her Elemental Ninjutsu ability, which can change its affinity to fire, ice, lightning or wind.”
Yuffie will also be able to use the “Banishment” ability, which can be elementally charged, and will damage enemies based on how much ATB the player has spent before it.
