How to romance Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
To romance Aerith and make sure you have her as your highest relationship level in Chapter 8 and Chapter 12 over any of the other characters to make sure its her knocking on your door on both occasions.
Ideally, your relationship meter with Aerith should be a bright blue colour (the one that appears above her head when you press L1). This is the highest colour you can get for relationship levels and then rings will appear around it. The best thing to do is make sure that only Aerith has the blue marker - if another character has it you run the risk of taking them on the dates instead.
There are a few ways you can raise your relationship level with Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth:
- Complete all of Aerith's side quests.
- Pick the best dialogue choices when talking to Aerith.
- Get an outstanding performance in the Junon Parade.
- Match Cloud's Swimwear to Aerith's in Costa del Sol.
- Pick Aerith when on the beach in Costa del Sol.
- In the Costa del Sol fight, choose Aerith and Barret.
- Unlock and use (at least once) all of Cloud and Aerith's Synergy Abilities and Skills.
However, as you level up Aerith's friendship level it's important to actively avoid increasing your relationship with any other character. If you end up reaching Chapter 8 or 12 with relationship levels with the other characters, like Tifa, at a higher level than your one with Aerith then you're likely to be going on the date with them instead.
You can easily avoid this scenario by making sure you pick the 'bad' dialogue options when speaking to other characters and you can even skip their side missions in each region to ensure you get only one result for Cloud at the Gold Saucer.
