Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthdoesn’t have a romance system like other big RPGs, but the Gold Saucer date from the original game has been greatly expanded.
You’ll spend the entire game building your bonds with your party members preparing for that key moment, so you’ll need to be careful when choosing dialogue options.
There’s a whole lot more that goes into party member relationships than dialogue options, and there are a few other things to keep in mind as you play through the main story of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It’s a pretty forgiving system, though, so you’ll have ample opportunities to raise your relationship levels with your favorite party members before the time comes.
