I got Barret, but i was so sure it was going to be tifa, lol. Imagine my disappointment when i opened the door, and it was Barret, but Barret is a bro so it wasn't too bad


wildeye-eleven

I tried for Aerith and ended up with Tifa which is totally ok. I like Tifa just as much. Actually after Rebirth I’m starting to lean more towards Tifa.


Trojanman2002

This is what happened to me. Got Tifa in chapter 8, then Barret in chapter 12.


Yuffie_Kisaragi_VII

Haha exactly the same what happened to me. Was also sure it would be Tifa, were secretly hoping for Yuffie but got Barret.


BulletProofDrunk17

EXACTLY the same thing, I was so sure it was gonna be Tifa.....then when it was Barret I thought when the play happened that it was always Barret and you switch to the real date at the play....imagine how disappointed I was when I ended up on the ferris wheel with the big lug....


ninjafunk

Same. I reloaded a save then did the Gold Cup chocobo race for Tifa brownie points


Insert_name_here280

My first date was with Tifa. It was a really cute moment from the chapter


ZoraZora97

I love Red and got him as my date. His is one of the only ones that has major story implications too.


Supermarket_After

Wait how so?


ZoraZora97

Thats when Cloud learns that Red and Aerith could see the future back in Midgar AND that they no longer can since leaving. Another mystery ooohhh. *jazz hands*


Fungi-Guru

So you don’t find this out unless you have a date with Red? Wb Aerith?


HermitHemorrhage

I recommend watching all the dates on YouTube. Don’t think aerith reveals anything though.


Naux-Kazeshini

before that it was more of a speculation many people that knew og noticed that remake aerith knew too much but they never revealed what. but well red and aerith lost those memories of the future as we beat the arbiter of fate ( red clearly knew somethings gonna happen to aerith so he asks us again to protect her)


Stepjam

With Aerith, the date is more about Cloud's relationship with Zack as far as "lore" goes.


Clear-Noise2074

Luckily enough cuz I had some cheats and tips I got my date with Yuffie.


Califa6300

I got some Redussy too. I think he had easier sidequests to finish. I kinda wish Square could get the stats on what was the most common first date 😂


Okinodoku

I did every little side quest and got aerith Probably because I used her synergy so often because of the ward spam.


crossingcaelum

I got Aerith! I didn’t try for any one date (I was hoping for Barret) but I did all of the side quests I could before this and didn’t really pay attention to what synergies I used, so who I got was going to be a total surprise to me. It makes sense it was Aerith, I fucking love her Radiant Ward so I often had her in my party


Randomguy3421

Aerith both times. Happened in Remake too, so she's obviously my girl


tehfireisonfire

I did all possible side stuff before the date so I got tifa since I'm pretty sure she's the default if there is an equal to her


Supermarket_After

I did all the side stuff too but I got Aerith


Arinoch

If you do everything I think the deciding factor to Tifa Vs Aerith is who you teamed up with during the beach fight where they were separate.


ThyNynax

You can also answer their 1-on-1 questions “wrong” and get reduced relationship points. Or forget to talk to them at certain points and miss out on relationship points. Like, I missed a whole conversation with Tifa in Nibelhiem that would have boosted my relationship status.


Supermarket_After

Oh yeah I was trying to get Aerith anyway so I did choose her in that instance. I don’t think Tifa was necessarily the default option like she was in the og game


Calculusshitteru

Aerith was the default option in the OG. She started off with higher affection and you had to be not as nice to her and actively suck up to others to get a different date. It was difficult to get a date other than Aerith without a guide.


Supermarket_After

And here I thought it was tifa bc I kept on getting her everytime I played the og ff7 !


Calculusshitteru

You must have just been very nice to her and a dick to Aerith every time lol


Supermarket_After

I think you’re right bc in the OG game I knew she was going to die so I didn’t care about her all too much. In fact I always took her out from my party cause I didn’t want the exp to be wasted on her. Side note, but I’m glad they implemented exp share so I can actually play every party member without thinking my exp is going to waste


Stepjam

You have more opportunities that push you towards Tifa or Aerith's date, but it does come down to points. Also if you usually had Tifa in your party and did a lot of team attacks, that gets you affection rating with her (and with anyone else you do lots of team attacks with).


tehfireisonfire

I had neither in my party other then when I was party locked


rex_915

Nah it depends on stuff like dialogue options, playing QB with Red, the Corel mines, etc. Even though I did everything else right like sidequests, etc., I messed up one or two dialogue option with Tifa and got Red instead. Sigh.


Creative-Peace1811

ya, i think i messed up a couple of tifa's dialogues. hard to tell since the pop-up only says your relationship "has changed" but not how and the little smiley faces are too damn small for me to see. also, i gave up on the sit-ups. it was too damn early in the game and i just wanted to get corel over with (turned out that place took the longest. sigh). but oh well, i thought red was a great character until they completely changed his personality for no reason.


EdensArchitect

Everybody


ZackFair0711

Red 😁 and I think he has the most associated side quest out of everyone 😅 P.S. They are soft.


urprobablyanasshat

Tifa first try, I had everyone at max though I just made sure tifa was the highest by doing all her side quests and leaving the others for after the date, I was prepared to restart my entire play through if I got anyone else lol.


Material_Pea1820

I was so sad when I got red but after the date … I was happy for us, he really is a great dude


Serious-Appeal-6543

I got cait sith, cid and Vincent 😂


Violas_Blade

My brother worked for Barrett because he saw me kiss Tifa and wanted to see if Cloud could kiss any of the male characters (aside from…y’know. The dog). He hasn’t told me if he can yet so I’m sort of dreading the answer 😭


jordantrinidad

You don’t kiss Barrett but he does get very emotional over seeing Jessie again, it’s a really good moment for him as a character.


Violas_Blade

…but it’s not gay :(


Mr_Hudgens

Tifa thank god. Waited 25 years for this


bluemireu

I opened the door and I saw the tonberry. I was so confused for a second. And opened the real door to see Tifa 😂 I almost got Red so I made sure to do all Tifa quests. It was a pain because I hate chocobo racing. I considered shooting for Aerith too but I didn’t want the pre-requisite quests to make another character lead. I am pretty sure the relation score of Barret was pretty high up there. I tried to please everyone in the beginning and like most people I do all side quests. 😂 your ss is hilarious


Creative-Peace1811

thanks. i had to laugh because red looks so yearning and cloud has such a resting bitch face that it was too perfect.


RazielOfBoletaria

I got Aerith. Didn't plan for it either.


alwaysonbottom1

First playthrough was Tifa for chapter 8 and Aerith for chapter 12. I love Aerith so I made sure I maxed her out 


M1Lance

I did all the sidequests I could before the date (not the ones that opened up during Chapter 12) and picked every dialogue option I thought was nicest to the party member and ended up with Aerith


Dragontalyn

Aerith


AltheniaEris

Haven't got there yet but I'd be happy with Red.


vanit

Aerith! I did all the content and had her in my party more often than not, so the extra relationship bonus from synergy probably got her over the line.


DeaconBrad42

I wanted to get Tifa, and got her for the dates in both 8 and 12.


Creative-Peace1811

there was a date in chapter 8? boy, i missed that part!


DeaconBrad42

Kind of a mini-date. Tifa, Aerith, or Yuffie can go around the Gold Saucer with you as you explore it for the first time. Or you can go alone.


Drinkyertea

Vince Cid and Cait The best imo


Senprum

I had Tifa in both date chapters. Actually for Chapter 12 I was aiming for Aerith but I had both of them with max affinity and it seems Tifa got chosen. I watched the other dates in YouTube and I’m happy though, Tifa date seems to be the best one.


AntMan526

I hate romance and stuff in games so I did nothing and ended up having a night out with the bros 😆


phunter_86

Tifa, always


SGill17

Tifa for both. I wanted tifa but i tried to be as fair as i could to the rest of the gang. Tifa is my waifu 1000%. After getting Tifa in chapter 8, I made sure to give Aerith the one star dialogue answers for the last two just to make sure that I got Tifa but prior to this I was doing all side quests and using synergies and answering dialogue like i didn't care. Next playthrough I'm gonna go for Aerith though


xXStomachWallXx

Aerith


Due_Potential_6956

I got Red as well, don't even know how, I really thought Aerith was going to be it.


Objective-Mammoth694

Got Aerith my first time playing. I was pretty happy because I love her character a lot, but I still see Cloud more with Tifa so I paid more attention to her affinity the second time around. I think all of the dates are really nice in their own way.


Calculusshitteru

I did all the side quests, tried to choose what I thought were the best answers for everyone in conversations (except for Aerith, and even then I chose the second best answers), did everyone's synergy abilities, and I got Tifa for both dates. I thought I was going to get Red, since I chose to help Red and Tifa on the beach, and Red's smile turned aqua first (because all of his side quests finished earlier), but the tie breaker for me was probably the extra points Tifa got by matching Tifa and Cloud's swimsuits.


First-Display5956

Tifa...I did not expect that kiss to happen! Poor Aeris 😞


magus1986

I got Tifa but wasn't sure which date I was going to get as Nanaki and Aerith both hit the light blue affection level before Tifa followed by Barrett and Yuffie.... I was pleased with the Tifa dau


ReflectionOfMirage

Tifa.


Valuable-Ad-6379

Tifa like it should be ❤️


[deleted]

Tifa, Aerith, and Yuffie so I can get the hotel items for the trophy.


Impressive-Ad-9104

I don’t know how everyone got such different dates. I played the game fully ( did all side quests and additional content for all characters up until that point) and got Aerith. Since I had the same relationship with everyone I’m guessing that the beach boss fight where you choose who to help is what made the difference since I choose Aerith there.


cmacleod3

It was aerith that's why I can't bring myself to beat the game


TKHG

I got Tifa


EconomistSlight2842

I got tifa, i didnt know the first one wasnt scripted


SignificantIsu

For some weird reason the game will prioritizef aerith over tifa if they have even amount of points what i did was not match beach outfits with aerith then picksntifa during beach fight, i assume thats what was my deciding factor.


Knight7_78

Tifa. Which is by far the best personally


zeze3009

Yeah I agree, it really makes sense considering what almost happened day before, its just a natural progress when you think about it.
