Games in which players are able toalter the narrative through their choicesweren’t all that popular whenFinal Fantasy 7was being developed back in the mid-nineties; at least not to the same extent that they are today. Considering how common the practice is nowadays though, it’s perhaps not all that surprising that there are several instances where players are asked to make choices inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
One such occasion comes during the game’s sixth chapter, Fool’s Paradise. There,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthplayers are asked to choose whether to help Tifa and Barret or Aerith and Red XIII on the beach in Costa del Sol, with no real indication given as to how their decision might affect proceedings. For those wondering who to choose, this guide will go over all of the outcomes and explain which option is best for you.
Should You Choose Aerith and Red XIII or Tifa and Barret in Chapter 6 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
In the grand scheme of things,it doesn’t really matter who players choose on the beach in Chapter 6 ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. However, there are some consequences that players should probably be aware of: both short-term and long-term. In the short term, the duo that players don’t pick will be unavailable for an imminent boss fight. In the long term, Cloud’s relationship with the two characters that he chooses will improve, increasing the chances thathe’ll go on a date with them later on at the Gold Saucer.
Though these two outcomes may seem important at first, both are somewhat inconsequential when all’s said and done. This is because the two party members who do team up with Cloud in the upcoming boss fight are promptly removed from the battle, leaving Cloud to finish off the fight on his own. As for the improved relationships, players are given numerouschances to strengthen Cloud’s bond with other party members, so missing out on just one of them shouldn’t matter too much providing players are making the most of the other opportunities that they get.
