on to junon: Yuffie
While walking across the Grasslands from Kalm, Cloud and group happen upon a chocobo ranch, with multiple chocobos inside a pen.
Special Note: Normally, an interaction with the penned chocobos can be initiated here, but I was unsuccessful even after multiple playthroughs. Basically, with the original, Cloud speaks to them, they dance, and then produce Choco/Mog Materia.
Inside the house at the ranch.
GREAN
Looking to get past the wetlands up ahead?
CLOUD
-
Yeah
-
I’m not interested
GREAN (Yeah)
In that case, you’ll need a chocobo. With a chocobo, you can zip through the wetlands in one go. That’s the only way you’ll avoid being attacked by a Midgardsormr. What’s a Midgardsormr? They’re these huge snake-like monsters—almost 10 metres tall! They listen for the squelching sounds of those moving through the wetlands. And, then, WHAM—you’ve had it!! You don’t want to end up like that, so please buy a chocobo! To purchase one, talk to my grandson. He’s in the stable—the building on the far right of the farm.
If selected Grean again after explanation…
That reminds me… Earlier there was someone heading towards the wetlands. Crossing there without a chocobo… Those Midgardsormrs will have had him for breakfast. He was wearing this pitch-black cloak, too…
GREAN (I’m not interested)
Hmm, okay. Never mind then.
If player says I’m not interested, but selects Grean again later...
GREAN
Looks like you want to cross the wetlands after all?
CLOUD
-
Yeah
-
Nope
GREAN (Yeah)

Hmm, okay. Never mind then.
If Cloud enters their bedroom…
GREAN
Looking for a place to stay?
CLOUD
-
Yeah
-
I’m not interested
GREAN (Yeah)
How about 100 gil a night?
CLOUD
-
Sounds good
-
I’m okay, thanks
GREAN (Sounds good)
Thank you.
GREAN (I’m okay, thanks)
Hmm, okay. Never mind then.
GREAN (I’m not interested)
Hmm, okay. Never mind then.
When Cloud and crew enter the chocobo stables, Grean's grandson and granddaughter are inside seemingly working…
CREAN
Welcome.
GREENE
Need a chocobo?
CLOUD
Hm…
-
Yeah
-
Not right now
GREENE (Yeah)
…You poor folks are out of luck.
CLOUD
Out of luck?
GREENE
We don’t have any chocobos at the moment. The ones outside belong to another customer. I’m really sorry. You know, if you really need a chocobo, why don’t you catch one in the wild? Want to know about wild chocobos?
CLOUD
1. Where are they?
2. How do I catch one?
3. Anything else?
4. I’m not interested
GREENE (Where are they?)
Did you see any three-clawed prints out there? Whenever you see those, chocobos are definitely nearby. But without Chocobo Lure, they won’t appear. They’re very cautious by nature.
CLOUD
-
Chocobo Lure?
-
What else? (If selected, it goes back to the prior options about chocobo information)
GREENE (Chocobo Lure?)
As the name suggests, Chocobo Lure is a materia that can bait chocobos. When equipped, wild chocobos will be attracted; otherwise, they simply won’t show up.
GREENE (How do I catch one?)
Wild chocobos always appear with monsters. And monsters are a problem. You’ll need to get rid of them before you can catch a chocobo.
CLOUD
-
Go on
-
What else? (If selected, it goes back to the prior options about chocobo information)
GREENE (Go on)
If it wasn’t hard enough already, wild chocobos a re really cautious. They’ll skedaddle at the drop of a hat. But by using greens, you can distract them, and they’ll be less likely to run away.
GREENE (Anything else?)
Whatever you do, don’t rile a chocobo. They’re usually quite docile, but tick them off and you’ll be sorry. Oh, and remember, a captured chocobo will disappear as quick as a flash the instant you dismount it.
GREENE (I’m not interested)
Well then, shall we get down to business? If you buy now, I’ll sell one Chocobo Lure for 2000 gil. How about it?
CLOUD
1. Buy it
2. Don’t buy it
GREENE (Buy it)
Thanks! It wouldn’t hurt to buy some greens, either. That reminds me… How soon a chocobo’ll finish eating depends on the type you feed it.
Cloud buys a selection of greens.
GREENE (Don’t buy it)
You’ll never catch one without it, you know.
If Cloud talks to him again after not buying it…
One Chocobo Lure is 2000 gil. How about it?
CLOUD
1. Buy it
2. Don’t buy it
GREENE (Buy it)
Thanks! It wouldn’t hurt to buy some greens, either. That reminds me… How soon a chocobo’ll finish eating depends on the type you feed it.
Cloud buys a selection of greens.
GREENE (Don’t buy it)
You’ll never catch one without it, you know.
GREENE (Not right now)
Oh! (Phew! That would have been awkward…)
CREAN
My brother Greene swindled you, didn’t he? Please try not to be mad at him or my grandpa. It’s been like this since Mum and Dad died.
After leaving the farm, Cloud catches a chocobo and rides through the wetlands, avoiding a Midgardsormr. Upon reaching the other side, the party sees another Midgardsormr impaled on a dead tree.
CLOUD
Did… Sephiroth do this?
BARRETT
This Sephiroth guy is damn incredible.
AERITH
So, this is what we’re up against?
TIFA
How awful...
RED
What a horrifying display of power.
As Cloud and the party walk past the dead Midgardsormer, enter, and make their way through the Mythril Mines. Nearing the exit of the cave structure, they run into a bald Turk wearing sunglasses, named Rude, and a blonde female Turk.
RUDE
Hold it!
BARRETT
What the hell!?
AERITH
Oh no. This looks like…
TIFA
What’s this?
RED
… Now there’s a face I didn’t care to see.
RUDE
Do you know who I am?
CLOUD
-
A Turk, right?
-
I’m not interested
RUDE (A Turk, right?)
Well, then, this won’t take long.
RUDE (I’m not interested)
I’m from the Turks. …And don’t you forget it.
RUDE
It’s hard to explain what the Turks do exactly…
CLOUD
Abducting people!
RUDE
To put it negatively, you could say that. But there’s much more to it these days… ……… He looks away. ………
BLONDE TURK NPC
Sir!
Rude and Cloud’s group look up at the blonde Turk, Yrena.
YRENA
Sir… I’ve noticed you don’t like speeches. Please… allow me?
RUDE
Thanks.
YRENA
I’m Yrena, the newest member of the Turks. Thanks to what you did to Leno, we’re short-handed.
Yrena shrugs.
Although I guess that’s why I was accepted into the Turks. In any case, our orders are to determine where Sephiroth is going… …and to make your life difficult every step of the way. Hang on. It’s the other way around… You’re the ones getting in OUR way.
Another Turk with long black hair, Zeng, walks into the mines from the outside entrance.
ZENG
Yrena. You’ve said more than enough.
Everyone turns to face Zeng and Yrena jolts with surprise.
YRENA
Mr Zeng!?
ZENG
They don’t need to know our business.
Yrena looks away.
YRENA
Sorry, sir.
ZENG
I’ve already assigned you to another mission. Go. Report back as instructed.
YRENA
Yes, of course! Very well, Rude and I will track Sephiroth, who’s heading for Junon’s harbour!
ZENG
Yrena… Do you have a hearing problem?
YRENA
Oh! I’m… I’m sorry.
ZENG
Now, go. Don’t let Sephiroth get away.
YRENA and RUDE
Yes, sir!
Yrena leaves and Rude looks back at Cloud and the party.
RUDE
Leno sends his warm regards. He’s hoping to meet you again after the wounds heal up. Now that you’re best friends, he wants to share his new weapon with you all.
Rude leaves.
ZENG
Well now…
If Aerith is in the party…
ZENG
Aerith… good to see you. Now that Sephiroth’s reappeared, as far as Shin-Ra’s concerned, you’re no longer a priority.
AERITH
What are you saying—that I should be grateful to Sephiroth?
ZENG
No… Only that we’ll be seeing less of eachother from here on. Take care of yourself.
AERITH
Strange hearing that from you.
ZENG
And I would very much appreciate it if you’d all stay out of Shin-Ra’s way.
If Aerith is not in the party…
ZENG
…Aerith? Isn’t she with you?
CLOUD
No. She’s with the others.
ZENG
I see. Then say hello for me.
Zeng leaves. Afterwards, Cloud and the others continue out of the mines.
----------------------------------------------------
Passing through the forests on the way to Junon, the party runs into a young female ninja. After being defeated, she lies on the ground with the party standing nearby. There’s a save put close to the group as well.
Special Note: Because Yuffie can be recruited at almost any point in the game, when Cloud, Tifa, or Cid are party members. Also, Red’s lines change if Yuffie is acquired after Cosmo Canyon. All character reactions will be included here.
BARRETT
Wassup with her?
AERITH
Who is this girl?
TIFA
Who is she?
RED
You don’t see one like this everyday…
Or…
Who is she? She’s still a child.
CAIT
What’s up wi’ her? Ah dinnae recognize the face.
CID
Who is this kid? Looks like a real brat to me!
VINCENT
She wields a mysterious weapon. I have seen one like that somewhere before…
If Cloud/Tifa/Cid tries to use the save point…
The group opens the menu to find that they are unable to save. When exiting the menu, the Young Ninja NPC has disappeared. The group looks in various directions for her.
YOUNG NINJA NPC
Bwahaha! Gotcha! Serves you right, too!
BARRETT
Hey, we’ve been tricked! She… Our money!
AERITH
Hmm… Hey, don’t we have less money than before?
TIFA
Hey! Our money!
RED
… Some of my money is missing.
Or…
Grrr! My emergency money!
CAIT
Gil! The gil! Mah gil is missin’!
CID
Whaaaa…!? Gone! It’s gone! My money’s gone!
VINCENT
Hmm… How agile.
200 gil was stolen!
BARRETT
ARGH! Gimme my money back!
AERITH
Come on! You can’t just do that!
TIFA
Wait a second! Where’s my money!? Hey! Give it back!
RED
A slave to the acquisition of wealth. …Sigh… Human nature.
Or…
G-give it back! It’s mine!!
CAIT
Hey, ye cannae dae that! Give me mah gil back!
CID
Steal MY money, will ya!? You got some nerve! Just who d’ya think you’re dealin’ with, you damn brat!!?
VINCENT
I don’t believe the money is her real objective…
If Cloud/Tifa/Cid walks right over to the Young Ninja, she gets up...
YOUNG NINJA NPC
Man… I can’t believe I lost.
She jumps over to the side.
YOUNG NINJA NPC (To Cloud)
You spikey-haired jerk! Try that again! One more time!
CLOUD
-
All right
-
I’m not interested
YOUNG NINJA NPC (To Tifa)
Hey, boobs! Try that again! One more time!
TIFA
-
You’re on
-
Stop it
YOUNG NINJA NPC (To Cid)
Hey, you bowlegged old fool! Try that again! One more time!
CID
-
Time to teach you a lesson
-
Forget it
YOUNG NINJA NPC (All right or You’re on or Time to teach you a lesson)
She runs to the middle of the group.
I won’t lose again. Take your time. Go and get prepared. Let me know when you’ve finished saying your prayers!
Young Ninja NPC begins punching the air. The party goes into their menu and check their equipment in preparation for the rematch. When the menu is closed the Young Ninja NPC disappears. Cloud and the gang look in different directions searching for her.
…psh… I can’t waste time fighting small fry like you. I’ll be taking this to pay the doctor! I won’t go so easy on you next time either!
BARRETT
Hey, we’ve been tricked! She… Our money!
AERITH
Hmm… Hey, don’t we have less money than before?
TIFA
Hey! Our money!
RED
Some of my money is missing.
Or…
Grrr! My emergency money!
CAIT
Gil! The gil! Mah gil is missin’!
CID
Whaaaa…!? Gone! It’s gone! My money’s gone!

CAIT
Hey, ye cannae dae that! Give me mah gil back!
CID
Steal MY money, will ya!? You got some nerve! Just who d’ya think you’re dealin’ with, you damn brat!!?
VINCENT
I don’t believe the money is her real objective…
YOUNG NINJA NPC (I’m not interested or Stop it or Forget it)
She runs to the middle of the group and begins punching the air. Thinking of running away? Stay and fight! FIGHT, I said! C’mon. What’s the matter? Scared of me, huh?
CLOUD
-
…Sure
-
You’ll just get beaten again
TIFA
-
…Yeah
-
You don’t have a chance
CID
-
Yep
-
You’re outta yer league!
YOUNG NINJA NPC (…Sure or …Yeah or Yep)
Heh, heh. Just as I thought. But what can you expect with my kinda skills? Good luck to you guys. If you feel up to it, we can go for another round later. Bye! I’m leaving now… I mean it!
YOUNG NINJA NPC (You’ll just get beaten again or You don’t have a chance or You’re outta yer league!)
W-w-what!? Uuuugh… Now, I’m really mad! Make fun of ME, will ya!? I won’t forget this!
She runs past, bumping into a party member and causing them to spin around.
BARRETT
She’s gone… The hell was that all about?
Barrett searches his pockets with his hands.
Hey, we’ve been tricked! She… Our money!
AERITH
She’s gone… So, what was that all about? Hmm… Hey, don’t we have less money than before?
TIFA
She’s gone… What’s with that girl? Hey! Our money!
RED
She’s gone… What was she trying to prove? … Some of my money is missing.
Or…
Huh? She’s gone… What was she up to? Grrr! My emergency money!
CAIT
She’s disappeared… Ah didnae get her at all. Gil! The gil! Mah gil is missin’!
CID
Hey, she’s gone… What was up with her anyway? Whaaaa…!? Gone! It’s gone! My money’s gone!
VINCENT
…Her actions are puzzling indeed. Hmm… How agile.
500 gil was stolen!
BARRETT
ARGH! Gimme my money back!
AERITH
Come on! You can’t just do that!
TIFA
Wait a second! Where’s my money!? Hey! Give it back!
RED
A slave to the acquisition of wealth. …Sigh… Human nature.

CAIT

Okay, bye

CID

YOUNG NINJA NPC (Go ahead or Okay, bye or See ya!)
Oh yeah? Like I care!
She takes off.
BARRETT
She’s gone… The hell was that all about?
AERITH
She’s gone… So, what was that all about?
TIFA
She’s gone… What’s with that girl?
RED
She’s gone… What was she trying to prove?

CAIT
She’s disappeared… Ah didnae get her at all.
CID
Hey, she’s gone… What was up with her anyway?
VINCENT
… Her actions are puzzling indeed.
YOUNG NINJA NPC (Wait a second or Wait a sec)
What is it? You still after something? Ah, so that’s it… You need my help, ‘cause I’m so tough. You want me to go with you, right?
CLOUD
-
Right
-
Are you joking?
TIFA
-
Right
-
I don’t think so!
CID
-
Right
-
What the hell!?
YOUNG NINJA NPC (Right)
Heh, heh, heh… Thought so. You’ve put me on the spot. Hmmm. What should I do? If you want me that bad, I guess I can’t refuse… All right, I’ll go with you!
YOUNG NINJA NPC (Are you joking? or I don’t think so! or What the hell!?)
Oh yeah? Like I care!
She takes off.
BARRETT
She’s gone… The hell was that all about?
AERITH
She’s gone… So, what was that all about?

So, what’s your name?

Okay. Let’s get going.
TIFA
-
So, what’s your name?
-
Come on, then. Let’s go.
CID
-
Well, what’s your name?
-
Hurry up, or you’ll be left behind!
YOUNG NINJA NPC (So, what’s your name? or Well, what’s your name?)
Oh. The name’s…
The screen goes to the menu to name Yuffie. When it goes back to the party, Yuffie has disappeared.
Nope! Sorry, but no dice. Didn’t your mother teach you any manners? Introducing yourself first is the polite thing to do. Pissing me off now will cost ya! Better remember that!
BARRETT
Hey, we’ve been tricked! She… Our money!
AERITH
Hmm… Hey, don’t we have less money than before?
TIFA
Hey! Our money!
RED
… Some of my money is missing.
Or…
Grrr! My emergency money!
CAIT
Gil! The gil! Mah gil is missin’!

VINCENT
I don’t believe the money is her real objective…
YOUNG NINJA NPC (Okay. Let’s get going. or Come on, then. Let’s go. or Hurry up, or you’ll be left behind!)
As Cloud and the group begin to wander away from Young Ninja NPC…
Huh? HEY! Wait! I haven’t even told you my name…
YUFFIE
I’m Yuffie… Pleased to meetcha!
She turns away from the camera and begins laughing.
Heh, heh. That went well. Now all I have to do is… Hehehe…
She turns back around and runs after the group.
Hey! Wait up! Wait!! If it’s about your money, here! I’ll give it back! …Or, uh, what’s left of it anyway.
