A clever story with creative tone shifts and a unique "switch-based" flowchart system. While the main story is enjoyable enough, the true highlight is in one of the guest scenarios: an over-the-top tiff between rival assassins penned by TYPE-MOON's Kinoko Nasu, with art by his partner-in-crime Takeuchi.
Despite being the sole playable character, venturing with the rambunctious Yuffie feels both rich and satisfying, thanks to her unique ninjutsu and her synergy — to say nothing of her chemistry — with the newly introduced Sonon. It's a fairly short romp, especially if you're not going out of your way to play Fort Condor, but it has all of the bits and bobs that made the base game so exhilarating: a spectacular soundtrack, dynamic cutscenes with clean gameplay transitions, and truly remarkable character writing.
