Tifa Romance and Relationship Guide

There are a total of four ways for players to improve their relationship with a character. In this Tifa romance and relationship guide, we will be going through each one of them in turn, starting with the conversations.

Tifa Conversation Guide

The first way to improve your relationship with Tifa in FF7 Rebirth is through timed conversations that happen occasionally. Every few chapters, while inside a location's hub town, you will have the option to talk to their party members. During this conversation, you will have the opportunity to choose one of three options when replying to their companion. The best option will improve your relationship the most, while the worst option will only improve it by a small amount.

Now, let's go over all Tifa Dialogues and the best choices for each.

There will also be a Skywheel Date soon after. A bond value of less than 50 percent (light blue emoji) will cause the standard cutscene to play. A higher value will cause a more intimate scene.

Thankfully, if you are not able to get the intimate scene with Tifa, there is a backup option. After finishing the game, players can head over to System, then Extra Settings, then Chapter 12 Companion and Event Conclusion. This will allow players who failed to see the FF7 Rebirth Tifa romance scene without having to play the entire game all over again.
