There are several ways you can strengthen your bond with party members in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The bonding system factors into both the story and combat, so it’s good to ensure you speak to party members during key moments and try to pick responses they’ll like or agree with. It’s also worth making use of your synergy skills and abilities when you fight alongside them since this also contributes.
There are also particular Odd Jobs you’ll come across in each region that can help deepen your bond. Whenever you begin an Odd Job side quest, a character in your party will usually get involved, which indicates they’re personally invested in the quest - completing it will make your bond stronger. If you’re ever unsure, you can open up your quest log where you can see a character’s face on the bottom right-hand side of the Odd Job - this tells you which quests are connected to which party members.
Certain events are tied to characters that can help deepen bonds depending on how well you do them. With every character having a different set of bonding moments and key choices, you can find a rundown of which ones affect the bond between Cloud and each party member. And of course, the stronger your bond is with a character, the more likely it is they’ll be your Gold Saucer date later on.
The date itself plays out in two parts. When you first get to visit the Gold Saucer in Chapter 8, a character will come knocking on your door to join you. Who does depends on your bond. Then, the Skywheel date will come later in Chapter 12, and who joins you once again depends on the strength of your bond with each character.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I’m not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
