Unlike Cloud’s dates with Tifa –in a romantic tone– and Aerith –same, but not as much–, the outing with Yuffie at the Gold Saucer is one of friends that seems more like an older brother with a hyperactive Wutai ninja. Since Yuffie is 16 years old in the original FInal Fantasy VIIas well as in Remake y Rebirth, the game puts her in the same “non-romantic” position as Barret, Caith Sith, Cid, and Vincent. Let’s see how to ask Yuffie out in Gold Saucer Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Guide to asking Yuffie out
To hang out with Yuffie Kisaragi as friends during Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you need to make sure your relationship meter with Cloud is maxed out during Chapter 12. For reference, this has to happen before resting at the Gold Saucer Haunted Hotel. A notification will even alert you of this moment, so don’t worry. Although Yuffie appears at the beginning of the game, she only joins the team until later. This means you have less time to build her friendship with Cloud.
Below we will detail the important moments and decisions that must be taken into account during the game to convince Yuffie and invite her. To do this, you must take into account:
- Secondary missions: Because they are not urgent, you can leave them for whenever you want without affecting the story, but you need specific ones for Yuffie.
- Conversations: You must choose the best answer among three options. The key in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is for Cloud to support Yuffie in her claims.
- Events: Depending on Cloud’s actions, these relationship bonuses may be lost unintentionally.
- Synergized techniques and skills– The first time you can perform them between Cloud and Yuffie, you will receive a relationship increase for both of them.

These are devastating attacks that require the coordination of two characters to change the pace of combat. More skills will be unlocked as you increase the group’s level – a numerical value that represents how united its members are – and enhance the bonds they share. The following techniques and skills must be unlocked through Folios and skill points. They must subsequently be used at least once in combat.

- Cloud Synergized Skill: Maelstrom Strike
- Yuffie’s Synergized Technique: Ninja Bazooka
