In FF7 Rebirth, you can go on a special outing with one of your friends from your team. To make this happen, you need to do some tasks to become closer to them. Red XIII is one of the people you can have a romantic outing with. This guide will show you all the steps to have a date with Red XIII in FF7 Rebirth.
FF7 Rebirth Red XIII Romance Guide
In our guide about romance in FF7 Rebirth, we mentioned four key things to become pals with the characters: main missions, side missions, what you talk about during the game, and how good you are at working together with Synergy skills and abilities. Now, we will give you a simple, step-by-step guide on what to do.
Main Missions
One thing to remember is to finish certain tasks during FF7 Rebirth main missions. These tasks can help make your connection with a certain character stronger. For example, helping them out when they’re in trouble or listening to their concerns during important moments in the game can really boost your friendship with them.
Chapter 5
Defeated Red XIII in the Queen’s Blood Tournament in Chapter 5.
Chapter 6
Before you start the big fight in Costa del Sol, you will need to pick a team. You can either team up with Aerith and Barret or go with Tifa and Red XIII. Of course, if you want to boost your bond with Red XIII, you need to choose the team with him on it.
Chapter 8
Defeated Dio right at the start of Chapter 8, before going into the Gold Saucer, while learning how to play the 3D Brawler game.
Chapter 12
You need to have another battle with Red at the Golden Saucer. If you’ve been really close to Red XIII before Chapter 12, he will stick with you for the whole chapter and even go with you on the Skywheel Date. If your bond with her is low, you will see the regular scene. But if you’re really close, a special scene will happen.
Side Missions
In FF7 Rebirth, doing side missions is super important to get to know the characters better. You gotta pick the ones Red XIII likes and do them right to make your friendship stronger with him. Then, you will see a more intimate scene at the end of the game.
