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.

Quests[]
Main scenario[]
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.
