Well, Yuffie doesn't join in the game at all, so why does it make sense to add episodes for her and make her playable, while Red XIII remains an NPC?
I do agree with you, yet at the same time I can see why they made the decision to make a Yuffie DLC and I'm pretty sure it has to do with her "secret character" status. People were worried that she wouldn't appear in the remake even though she was made canon in the rest of the compilation, and this episode cements the fact that yes, she's in, and look how amazing she'll be. It's a shame that the element of surprise has gone by "us" meeting Yuffie, but I'm really intrigued to find out how this DLC ties to Yuffie's escape from Midgar and how she's written in to actually meeting the party for the first time. Really, really hoping that we still get to fight her. Now that we know how she can fight ohhh boy it'll be good.
