This short 5-8 hour escapade, starring Yuffie, is a delight, and while it’s over before you know it, it leaves a lasting mark on you due to its smart use of her character and the expanded world established in the FF7 Remake. That said, some aspects of this add-on do feel a tad too thin in their offe
