Who Will Cloud Take on a Date? FF7 Rebirth's Gold Saucer Romance Guide

The iconic Gold Saucer date scene returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but with some exciting twists. This time around, not only can Cloud go on a date, but other party members can as well! Here's a breakdown of how it works:

Who you go with:

Unlike the original, your choices throughout the story don't directly determine your date. Instead, the system tracks your relationship level with each party member. This level is represented by a smiley face icon that turns blue when your bond is strong. The more rings around the blue smiley, the stronger the bond.

Two "dates":

There are actually two key moments that involve going to the Gold Saucer with a party member:

1. Initial visit (Chapter 8): When you first arrive at the Gold Saucer, the character with the highest relationship level with Cloud will automatically join you for a brief exploration.
2. Skywheel date (Chapter 12): Later in the story, Cloud will take the character with the highest relationship level on a ride on the iconic Gold Saucer Skywheel. This scene is considered the true "date" moment.

Maximizing your chances:

To ensure your desired character joins you, focus on building your relationship with them. This can involve:

• Choosing dialogue options that show Cloud cares about them.
• Completing their character quests (if available).
• Having them in your party during battles and exploration.

Checking your progress:

You can check your relationship level with any character by holding down the L1 button. This will display the smiley face icon and the number of rings, giving you a clear picture of your progress.

Tiebreaker:

If two characters have the same relationship level, the one who is closer to gaining another level will be chosen for the Skywheel date.

By understanding the mechanics and actively building relationships, you can influence who Cloud shares these special moments with in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
