Wutai (Final Fantasy VII field)

Wutai is an optional field map in Final Fantasy VII. It is a town located on the north end of a western island of the world map, the Wutai Area. The town is the location of the optional chapter "Homecoming of a Miserable Daughter", which occurs only if Yuffie was recruited by the player.
The chapter has two parts: one in which the player hunts down Yuffie for Materia that she stole from the party, and one in which Yuffie confronts her father and the Pagoda, obtaining her ultimate Limit, the All Creation, and the Leviathan Materia.
== Layout ==
Wutai is located to the north on the world map's western island mass.

===Old man's house===
During Yuffie's sidequest, she hides behind the screen. This is the second location where she hides, following the Item Shop.
===Cat's House===
A HP Absorb Materia can be found upstairs after Yuffie's quest has been completed. Prior to this, the cats block the way upstairs.
===Cat's House Passage===
===Yuffie's House===
After Yuffie is caught in the jar outside of Turtle Paradise, she takes the party here and imprisons them in a steel cage.

Turtle's Paradise Flyer #6 can be found here during or after Yuffie's quest.

===Weapon Store===
The party cannot buy anything here until Yuffie has returned the Materia to the party at the end of her sidequest. On the other hand, if the player has not recruited Yuffie then this shop will be open from the first visit.
===Turtle Paradise Bar===
By finding all of the Turtle Paradise Flyers in the game and reading the notice outside the bar, the player receives these items from the manager behind the counter:
*Power Source
*Guard Source
*Magic Source
*Mind Source
*Speed Source
*Luck Source
*Megalixir
The Turks are found drinking here during Yuffie's sidequest, during which she also momentarily hides in the big pot outside the bar.
===Item Store===
If the party has recruited Yuffie, the party must enter the item shop and take the MP Absorb Materia from the chest to continue the quest.
===Da-chao Statue===
During the quest, Don Corneo holds Yuffie and Elena captive here until the party (along with Reno and Rude) rescue them. A Dragoon Lance can be taken from a chest in the cave at any time. After obtaining the Leviathan Scales, the lava can be bypassed and an Oritsuru and Steal as well Materia obtained.
===Wutai Head Temple===
The party can rest here for free, and find a Magic Shuriken and Hairpin. Some Shinra soldiers are fought here as a boss battle during Yuffie's quest.

After escaping from the cage in Yuffie's House, the party can bang the gong to open the door to get in here and find Don Corneo with Yuffie and Elena. The passage leads to the house from the Main Mountain. There are two treasure chests down here containing a Swift Bolt and an Elixir.

===Godo's Pagoda===
After completing Yuffie's quest, the five bosses can be battled one on one by Yuffie—one on each floor. After completing the quest the player earns the Leviathan Summon Materia. Godo will also drop the All Creation item, the final Limit Break for Yuffie.

==Quests==
===Main scenario===
* Homecoming of a Miserable Daughter
The chapter "Homecoming of a Miserable Daughter" has two parts. The first begins when the party arrives at the Wutai Area, after which she will steal the party's Materia (prioritizing the rarer Materia the player possesses) shortly after they enter the island. The quest begins when the player enters the village, where they must chase Yuffie around to find it. It culminates with a battle against Rapps at the Da-chao Statue. Completing this also allows the player to avoid a battle with the Turks in "Mako Cannon Rampage".
The second half of the chapter begins with Yuffie in the party as the only player character during a series of battles against the Pagoda. Because Yuffie is the only party member, it is advisable to complete this part later, but it can be done at any time. This half of the quest is required to obtain the All Creation, and the Leviathan Materia.
===Date mechanics===
Final Fantasy VII has a hidden affection value that determines whom Cloud will go on a date with in Gold Saucer later. The value is determined by the dialogue and party member choices made prior to the date.
Going through the entire Wutai sidequests boosts Yuffie's points +10.
===Turtle's Paradise===
A bar named Turtle's Paradise in Wutai Village in has flyers posted all over the world. If the player reads all the flyers, and the notice outside the bar itself, and then talks to the person manning the bar in Wutai, they get a reward. The quest can be completed after gaining access to Yuffie's house during her Wutai quest.
