Wutai is supposed to be an analog for modern Japan. Japan got defeated and is now a kitschy facsimile of its former glory, meant only for Western tourism and factories to satisfy Western consumption. This is actually super apparent right now to everyone but the Nips only expressed themselves in video games back in the 90s. Materia is basically an analog for guns. So imagine a spirited Japanese tomboy that is obsessed with guns and wants to collect enough of them and bring them back to Japan, then pass them around in order to reignite the Samurai spirit so the Japanese can be an Empire again. This is Yuffie.
