Following what was established in the original game, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth It allows Cloud to relate to his companions and comrades-in-arms. In the case of Tifa and Aerith, as the story has already established there is a much deeper connection with hints of romance. Tifa is Cloud’s childhood friend and the only one in town who spoke to him, without considering it strange. Once reunited as adults – exaggeratedly attractive – in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players may notice some romantic tension between the two. Let’s see how to go out on a date or make Tifa fall in love in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Tifa’s past in Nibelheim and a traumatic experience in which Cloud was also present, are equally part of that tension.
Guide to dating Tifa and how to win her over
To make Tifa Lockhart (aka “closed heart”) fall in love with her and take her on a date for 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.
Below we will detail the important moments and decisions that must be taken into account during the game to make Tifa fall in love with her and date 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 Tifa.
- Conversations: You must choose the best answer among three options. The key in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is that Tifa remembers her friendship with Cloud since they were teenagers, which is where the purest seed of love sprouts. Although she seeks to remember those moments, it is Cloud’s duty to suggest to her that he is the one she truly loves. We assume that there is no manipulation involved, since it is reciprocated.
- Events: Depending on Cloud’s actions, these relationship drivers may be unintentionally lost.
- Synchronized actions and skills– The first time you can perform them between Cloud and Tifa, you will receive an increase in their relationship.
Cloud and Tifa’s synchronized actions and abilities
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 actions and skills must be unlocked through Folios and skill points. They must subsequently be used at least once in combat.
- Synchronized action: Counterfire
- Synchronized action: Power Cleave
- Synchro Skill: Relentless Rush
- Synchronized skill: Synchro Cyclone
While timed actions can be used instantly, skills require consuming the ATB (or BTC) meter.
