covers a big story with a wide cast of characters, but there are two in particular who could benefit from receiving an DLC treatment. introduced the idea of filling in story gaps with a DLC through the Yuffie-focused, which debuted the new version of the classic character and sent her on a mission to infiltrate Shinra. Although it's not 100% necessary to play through the side chapter before , it adds important context for her character and teases some threads that follows.
Fans of Yuffie would doubtless love to return to the impetuous ninja for another interlude, but it seems more likely that further pieces of Yuffie's story will be reserved for the next game. sets up big changes to her homeland of Wutai, and exploring that location is more than a DLC could likely wrangle. Looking elsewhere in the party, however, reveals options that could prove just as appealing and potentially even improve on what brought to the table.
Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are both memorable characters who join the cast in, but neither of them get quite the same spotlight in the game as the proper party members do. Cid becomes the party's designated ferry, while Vincent mostly stands around with crossed arms at the party's various destinations, but neither of them become playable within the scope of this particular adventure. This sidelining also leaves both of them with less narrative exploration, and their interesting backstories haven't yet been directly covered.
already introduces battle mechanics for Cait Sith and Red XIII, so it makes sense that Cid and Vincent are having to wait their turn. Their status on the fringe of the game can be frustrating, however, and the deliberate avoidance of some key narrative elements surrounding the characters leaves them feeling a bit awkwardly appended. An DLC could be the perfect way to address this situation for either character, and it would be the ultimate silver lining of the situation.
