Square Enix released a few Final Fantasy VII Rebirth screenshots on social media highlighting Yuffie and her abilities. In particular, it shows a quick glimpse of the ninja's new doppelganger attack.
It seems the latest batch of images highlight three different types of attack from Yuffie. In one, she's performing a standard attack with her four-point shuriken. In the other, it seems that she is performing her Elemental Ninjutsu ability. This appeared in the Episode INTERmission DLC in Final Fantasy VII Remake and allowed her to change the element tied to her attacks. It's the third screenshot that shows the doppelganger move. When performed, a duplicate of her shows up to also attack whichever enemy is also on the field in front of her.
Here's a closer look at all three of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Yuffie battle screenshots.
Now that the game's release is drawing near, Square Enix has shared more looks at what to expect. For example, there was a "Destined for Rebirth" trailer. The company also showed off this version of Dyne and what a date with Barret at the Gold Saucer will look like.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to the PS5 on February 29, 2024, with the exclusivity arrangement ending on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Ever Crisis is available on the PC and mobile devices.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, January 22, 2024 6:57 PM  The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduces a massive assortment of caves players never got to explore in Breath of the Wild. Many of those caves are large enough to serve as home to various enemies. Some are much smaller but still hold exciting treasures. Here is our guide telling you where to find the Thundara Plateau cave in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tears of the Kingdom – where to find the Thundra Plateau cave Right near the center of the Thundara Plateau, which is located southwest of the Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower, at the northwest end of Ludfo's Bog, you can find an area where the cave lurks.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, January 22, 2024 5:53 PM  Bushi is one of the best Pals in Palworld because of its level three Lumbering ability. This makes it perfect for logging and adding to your wood reserves. Finding Bushi can be difficult though, but there are a few spots where it's guaranteed to spawn. Number 72 in the Paldeck, Bushi is one of the most useful Pals that you'll find on the Palpagos Islands. In addition to its level three Lumbering skill, it also has level two Kindling/Transporting and level one Gathering/Handiwork. This skillset makes it a highly versatile Pal that is well suited to all sorts of work at your base from helping you craft gear to making sure any fires stay lit. Where to Find Bushi in Palworld Image; Mapgenie, PC Invasion You can find Bushi along the beaches on the southwestern volcanic island in Palworld. You can see its exact spawn zone marked on the map above. There's a fast travel point right on the beach and Bushi tends to appear in the vicinity of... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, January 22, 2024 5:12 PM  Vixy is a neutral-type Pal that can be very useful in producing various items inside your Ranch. Here is how you can catch Vixy in Palworld. How to find Vixy in Palworld Screenshot: PC Invasion Vixy is one of the sweetest and easiest Pals to catch in Palworld. They are one of the Pals you will get at the early stages of the game. However, you will need to travel some distances to find Vixy. Vixy has only one habitat, so they do not spawn anywhere near your initial base. You can only find Vixy around the Small Settlement or Rayne Syndicate Tower area. They spawn throughout a very large area around this region, so you will not have any trouble finding them. Vixy do not engage themselves in battle once you approach them. Moreover, if you run towards them, they will also start running away from you, which makes catching them a lot more difficult. Rather, once you spot a Vixy, crouch and sneak behind them slowly so that they do not notice you. Once yo... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, January 22, 2024 5:03 PM  While you can unlock crafting recipes through Palworld's Technology tree, you can also find Schematics throughout the world that let you craft various items, weapons, and armor. Some Schematics are higher rarity in Palworld though, but what does this actually mean? Are the rarer schematics worth crafting in Palworld? Put simply, rarer and higher-level Schematics are better in Palworld. The standard Schematics let you craft the listed item at its standard quality, but Rare and Epic level Schematics will let you craft upgraded versions of those items. Higher quality Schematics will have a number at the end of them to denote which level of rarity they are. Image: PC Invasion You might find "Old Bow Schematic 2" or "Metal Armor Schematic 3" while exploring the world, for example. The former would allow you to craft the Rare version of the Old Bow while the latter would let you craft the Epic version of the Metal Armor. Th... |
