Everyone likes Yuffie, the 14 year old ninja with spunk. Finally, you
can do the ultimate (clean) fantasy - you can date Yuffie!  But then 
half the fun of slaving through the guide is the fact that you can kick 
dirt in Aerith and Tifa's face, call them worthless, irresponsible and 
ugly, and they'll STILL like you in the end! So here we go:

DISCLAIMER

This was originally taken from a Japanese guide, but has been translated
and edited for the English version.  Also credit is given to the 
original writer of this guide, whomever he may be.  The original writer,
translater and editor will not claim responsibility if you read through
this guide and it essentially destroys the first half of the game.  I've
dated Yuffie, obviously, so it can be done, however, I suggest you play
the game 'straight' first, as some key parts are missed (Honey Bee Inn,
talk with Zack's parents).  This is best followed when you play through
a second time.

GENERAL TIPS FOR DATING YUFFIE

 Always try to have Red 13 and Barret in your party before getting 
 Yuffie.  After getting Yuffie, make sure she's always the second 
 character, unless specified otherwise, (like when a character 
 insists on joining you).  The third character can be anybody but one 
 of the girls (unless specified otherwise).

 - When you talk to allies, always talk to Yuffie first.

 - If you're in doubt when making choices, remember the object is of 
   getting Tifa/Aerith's favour of you down (that is, be nasty to them), 
   and getting Yuffie's favour of you up.

 - Finally, make sure the Cover materia is always equipped on Cloud when
   Yuffie's in your party, so that he can protect her.

 - Below is what choices you need to make to date Yuffie - don't be
   daunted by the number of instructions.  And note that skipping out on
   a minor choice or two is fine, but watch for the major ones. Good 
   luck dating Yuffie!

    asks, 'What happened?', tell her, 'Nothing has. Listen..'

72. At Cosmo Canyon, talk to Yuffie (she's in the materia shop,
    surprise, surprise!)
73. In the Planetarium, put Yuffie and Cait Sith into the party.
74. When you're around the Cosmo Candle, talk in this order: Yuffie, 
    Barret, Aerith, Tifa, Red.
75. In Gi clan's cave, make the party as Yuffie and Red.

    off.

    between Vincent, Cait Sith, Cid, and Red.
80. At Wutai, when you've caught Yuffie, pull the left lever as she
    says.
81. Finish the Wutai events.
82. Try and beat the Pagoda. I managed to beat the four-face boss by
    using the ???? enemy skill, maxing her with HP Plus materia and 
    keeping Yuffie just high enough so that she survives if he uses
    Beast Sword.
83. Then go to Gold Saucer, get the Keystone, and watch the date
    sequence begin!

Congratulations!  You should now date Yuffie!  And remember, say
SOMETHING! :)

PS. You can actually 'date' Barret also. I haven't done this, but some
people in Japan have. If you want to try this, I can't help you, except
to perhaps do everything in this guide that hurts Tifa and Aerith and
don't pick up Yuffie until the last possible minute.
