Fans of the classic Final Fantasy series will appreciate the updated romance system in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which stays true to the original concept. The feature, now known as “Bonds of Friendship,”will present players with multiple romantic choices. Depending on the character you favor the most, you will experience unique Gold Saucer Date Night cutscenes in both Chapter 8 and 12.
Tifa Lockhart is one of the six characters who can go on dates at the Gold Saucer. She is a devoted member of Avalanche, a covert group that opposes Shinra. Following her involvement in the downfall of the Sector 7 plate, she departs Midgar in search of a new direction.
To win over Tifa’s affection, Cloud must have the highest relationship level with her in both Chapter 8 and Chapter 12. There are several methods to strengthen your bond with Tifa:
- Dialogues
- Side Quests
- Synergy Abilities and Skills
- Main Story Objectives
