In FF7 Rebirth, you can possibly date one of the characters in your group. But to do that, you need to do specific tasks to reach chapters 8 and 12 and go on a date with them. Aerith is one of the characters you can romance. This guide will explain all you need to know and the steps to take to go on a date with Aerith in FF7 Rebirth.
FF7 Rebirth Aerith Romance Guide
In our guide about romance in FF7 Rebirth, we told you there are four important things to focus on to build a stronger connection with the characters: main missions, side missions, what you say in conversations, and your teamwork skills. Now, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on what to do.
Main Missions
One of the important things to watch out for are certain tasks you will need to finish while playing FF7 Rebirth. Sometimes, these tasks can make your relationship with a specific character stronger.
Chapter 4
During the Inauguration Parade in FF7 Rebirth, aim to outscore the other team in all three formations. Achieving this will also increase Tifa’s relationship.
Chapter 6
When choosing Cloud’s outfit, it should match what Tifa or Aerith wears, or what they both wear. For instance, if Cloud wears a swimsuit, Tifa and Aerith should also wear swimsuits. If Cloud wears casual clothes, Tifa and/or Aerith should wear the same.
Right before the big fight in Costa del Sol, you’ll have to pick a group. One group includes Tifa and Red XIII, and the other includes Aerith and Barret. Each group has its own strengths, so think carefully about who you want to team up with before the battle. But if you want to romance Aerith, pick the group with her in it.
Chapter 12
In the Loveless play, you need to do really well to improve your relationship status. If you’re spending time with Aerith in Chapter 8 and you’re closer to her than Tifa, Aerith will act as Rosa in the Loveless play.
If you’re really close to Aerith before Chapter 12, she will stick with you throughout the chapter and even go on the Skywheel Date with you. But if your bond with her isn’t very strong, or it’s less than halfway (shown by a light blue emoji), then you will see the regular cutscene. However, if your bond is stronger than halfway or shown by a light blue emoji, you will see a more affectionate scene instead.
Side Missions
Doing side missions is also crucial to strengthening your relationship with the characters in FF7 Rebirth. So, you need to be careful about which ones you take on and how you finish them to boost your bond with Aerith and see the more affectionate scene at the end of FF7 Rebirth.

Dialogue Choices
Another important thing to think about to build a strong connection with a character is the words you choose while playing FF7 Rebirth. Some of these words can really help strengthen your bond with a specific character.
Each word choice is rated with stars, ranging from 1 to 3. Naturally, those with 3 stars are the best for building a stronger bond with the character. But on your first try, you won’t see which answer gets the most stars. So, here’s a list of all the word choices to help you out.
