Those who have played the original Final Fantasy 7 know that there are six main characters in the game. They are Cloud, Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, Tifa, Caith Sith, and Yuffie. With that being said, you might be wondering how to get Yuffie in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. If you are expecting it to be in the same location as the original, you are in for a surprise because they changed up where you meet her and when she joins.
Yuffie is the resident ninja from the land of Wutai who is always on the hunt for Materia. She can’t go five minutes in the campaign without mentioning these magical little orbs. There will be some spoilers ahead. Here is how to get Yuffie in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and when she joins your party.
When does Yuffie join the party in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
During the campaign, you will first meet Yuffie when you reach Under Junon. After reaching this area, you will have an encounter with a sea monster down by the water. This is when Yuffie makes her appearance. However, she doesn’t join the team at this time. That comes a bit later in the game.
Next, you will have a run-in with the Wutaian ninja in Junon shortly after you complete the parade formation minigame. During this time, you will need to find all the Seventh Infantry members and perform for the Shinra President. After this run-in, you will board the ship for Costa Del Sol where you will see Yuffie once more. Despite all these appearances, she doesn’t join the party.

Yuffie joins the party after you face off against Hojo’s robot on the beach in Costa Del Sol. After returning to Johnny’s Seaside Inn, she will appear and ask to join once more. This time, the party will agree to let her be part of the squad. From that moment on, you will have the Wutaian ninja on your team.
