01 Getting Yuffie:

You can get Yuffie in your party during any disc. If you're in Disc 1 and are riding around in the Buggy, that will work too. The two places that she appears the most often are the forests beyond the Gold Saucer (in the Gongaga Area), and most forests in the Junon Area. After a few battles you'll fight Yuffie. The battle is easy so don't worry about it.

When the battle ends, you'll be in a plain with Yuffie lying nearby. There's also a Save Point there. However, if you touch the Save Point, then save, Yuffie will escape and steal 200 Gil! Don't worry you can meet her again. You'll have to talk to her several times to get her to join you. As she and you converse, she'll ask you several questions, and you can reply in two ways. To get her to join then respond like this:

• Not interested
• .....petrified
• Wait a second!
• .....That's right
• .....Let's hurry on

After this she's on you team and you can name her whatever you want.

02 Getting Vincent:

The second hidden character in the game, Vincent can also join your party during any disc. You'll need the gold key from the safe in Nivelheim's SHINRA Mansion. Go down to the cavern leading to Sephiroth's library (it's in the SHINRA Mansion, the entrance is in the stone wall in the eastern wing). Remember the door to the crypt you couldn't get through? You can now enter it. Stand at the foot of the purple coffin and hit "O". The lid will fly off and Vincent will talk to you. Choose the bottom reply when he asks you a question. When the coffin closes, press "O" again. Choose the second (bottom) reply when Vincent poses another question, and you can name him. Then try to leave the cavern and he'll join you.
