How Relationships Work in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Relationships in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are essentially your friendship level with another character in your party. As you explore and take on new challenges, your relationship level with certain characters can affect how things play out.
For example, if you want to go on the famous Golden Saucer date with a specific character, you will need to make sure that your relationship with him is the best or at least moderately better than anyone else.
How to improve your relationships in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
There are several ways you can improve your relationship with each character in your party in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as you progress through the story.
One way to improve your relationships in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is through the choices you make throughout the story. There will be times when you have to make decisions or choose responses to events that occur and how you react in those moments can have a profound impact on your relationship with certain characters.
Another way is to take on and complete character quests when they are available. Most open world regions will have a quest board in their main settlement where you can collect these quests, or they will appear on your map as a green quest icon with “???” ” next to them.
Once you accept the quest, there are two ways you can find out which relationship you will improve by completing it. The easiest way is to pay attention to the party member who is next to you in the first cutscene of the quest, if Barret is talking next to you, it is a quest from Barret.
Another way is also to go to the “Quests” tab. Once you accept a quest, it will be listed here. Below the small quest box will be a photo of one of your party members and this will tell you which relationship will benefit if you complete the quest.
There is a small way to strengthen your relationship with party members in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: using a new synergy skill with them for the first time. However, this only works the first time you use a skill with a partner, so other ways are much quicker to develop your relationships.
How to Check Relationship Levels in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
