-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DECISIONS
-------------
Midgar
------
Talking to Aeris the first time, no matter what you say (believe it or not),
has no effect. Buy the flower, unless you want to date Aeris or Yuffie.
Talk to Jessie twice on the train home from the first mission:

"Looking forward to it" (-3 Tifa)
When you enter Seventh Heaven, and you have a flower:

at all. Treat her anyway you feel like.

Ask her to fight them (-1 Aeris)
Ask her to run --
Ask her to run and she
has to fight (-1 Aeris)

Tifa (+2 Tifa)
Aeris (+2 Aeris)
When Tifa asks if you can break out:
"(Leave it to me)" (+1 Tifa) (as many times as you like)
"(Kinda hard)" (-1 Tifa) (as many times as you like)
When you get the option to think about Barret, Red XIII or Aeris:
Whomever you think about first: (+3 Barret or Aeris) or --
Whomever you think about second: (+1 Barret or Aeris) or --
Whomever you think about third: --
When you choose your party after escaping Midgar:

----
When Barret leaves, and tells you to get a move on:

When you first talk to the old guy in Fort Condor:
"I guess so" (+5 Barret, +3 Aeris, +3 Tifa, +2 Yuffie)
"Not interested" (-5 Barret, -3 Aeris, -3 Tifa, -1 Yuffie)
After the old guy tells you about his problem:
"All right" (+5 Barret, +3 Aeris, +3 Tifa, +2 Yuffie)
"Not interested" (-5 Barret, -3 Aeris, -3 Tifa, -1 Yuffie)

--------------
(You can fail this as many times as you like, and you will still get the
points every time you meet Yuffie until you get her in your party)
"All right" --
"Not interested" (+2 Yuffie)
"Petrified..." (+2 Yuffie)

"I dunno..." (-2 Aeris)
When Tifa asks you about war:
"Yeah..." (+2 Tifa)
"I do not know" (-2 Tifa)
Costa Del Sol
-------------
I am *very* disappointed with Costa Del Sol; there are a lot of dialogue
options that you could choose, but none of them seem to alter 'Affection'
values at all; even the ones that seem to *really* annoy the girls.
Mt Corel
--------
Stealing the Phoenix Downs from the Cokatolis nest does nothing to alter
'Affection' values. Neither does finding it but leaving it alone, for that
matter. And no, it does not even matter who is in your party at the time.
Another wasted opportunity, in my opinion.
Gold Saucer
-----------
Depending on who you choose first to accompany you in the Gold Saucer:
Aeris: (+3 Aeris)
Tifa: (+3 Tifa)

Yuffie: (+2 Yuffie)
Red XIII: --
Gongaga
-------
If, after either Aeris or Tifa (or both) meets Zack's parents then:
Ignoring Aeris (-3 Aeris)
Talking to Aeris --
"Poor guy" (+1 Aeris)
"(...jealous...envious...)" (+2 Aeris)
Ignoring Tifa (-3 Tifa)
Talking to Tifa (+1 Tifa)
Wutai
-----
After Yuffie gives back all your Materia in Wutai: (+10 Yuffie)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUIDES TO DATING YUFFIE/BARRET
------------------------------
So, you picked up this guide to date Yuffie or Barret, and can not be bothered
trying to go through the above? Well, in my opinion, that makes you a bit
lazy, but that is just my opinion. In any case, what follows are two separate
guides; the first to date Yuffie, the second to date Barret. Note the
differences by the way in what you have to do; it is really interesting....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie:
1. Do not buy a flower from Aeris when you first see her in Sector 8.
2. Talk to Jessie twice on the train home from Sector 8, and tell her
you are "Looking forward to it".
3. Do not talk to Tifa while she is behind the bar. If you do, decline her
offer for a drink.
4. Say "...Sorry" when she asks you if you have forgotten your promise.
5. Ignore Tifa the next morning; do not talk to her, and go straight to
Barret.
6. Get caught by the Security Lockdown; do not reach the end of the train.
Force Barret and Tifa to jump out early this way.
7. After defeating Airbuster, before Cloud falls, tell Barret to "Be
strong".
8. When Aeris is fleeing the guards, climb up to the top level and tell her
to Wait each time. Then, push the *wrong* barrel (so that she has to fight
the guard anyway). Do this three times.
9. When Aeris asks if Tifa is your girlfriend, say "Yeah, that is right."
10. When you get to the playground in Sector 6, tell Aeris that you will
"Take her home."
11. Get none of the best items so that Tifa is chosen for the Don's
date. When you meet Aeris outside the Don's office, tell her "We gotta help
Tifa!"
12. When everyone lands in the sewer, talk to Aeris first.
13. When Marlene asks you how you feel about Aeris, tell her "I do not
know".
14. When you first meet Red XIII, tell Tifa to take care of Aeris (keep
Barret in your party for *this* battle).
15. After the battle with HO512, split up into a team of Cloud, Barret and
Red XIII.
16. When Tifa asks if you can break out, tell her "(Kinda hard)"
17. Think about Red XIII first, Barret second, and Aeris last while you are
in the cell.
18. When you finally escape Midgar and have to choose your team, pick a
team with Cloud, Barret and Red XIII.
19. In Kalm, after the flashback, tell Barret to "Wait a sec", then
"Is that all?"
20. Make a party immediately afterwards with Cloud, Aeris and Tifa. In a
house in Kalm, there is a woman who asks you about whether Mako energy is
convenient. Tell her "Yeah, maybe". Talk to the girl upstairs,
and when she asks you if the old life is better, say "No way".
21. In Fort Condor, disagree twice to the old guy about his plight. After
that, you can go into Fort Condor and agree then, but that is up to you.
22. Find Yuffie in Junon Forest. Get her into your party. (Take as long
as you like, but this guide will assume you got her first time, and she
did not run away....)
23. On the Cargo Ship, give Yuffie a tranquilizer. (Make sure you bought
one in Junon Town.)
24. On the Cargo Ship, tell Aeris "I dunno..." when she asks about the
Airship.
25. On the Cargo Ship, when Tifa asks you about war, say "I do not know".
26. At the Gold Saucer, when you split up, talk to Yuffie first, and take
her with you (do not choose Aeris or Tifa).
27. When you see Barret again in the Corel Prison, and you are about to go
after Dyne, you will be prompted to make a party. Choose Cloud, Barret, and
Yuffie.
28. Before entering Gongaga Town, make your party into Cloud, Aeris and
Tifa. Then, when you meet Zack's parents, and Aeris and Tifa leave, ignore
*both* of them and leave town.
29. Complete the Wutai subquest, and let Yuffie steal your Materia. After
you get the Materia back, go straight to the Gold Saucer for the date
sequence.

Barret:

you are "Looking forward to it".
3. Give the flower to Marlene when you get the option.
4. Do not talk to Tifa while she is behind the bar. If you do, decline her
offer for a drink.
5. Say "...Sorry" when she asks you if you have forgotten your promise.
6. Say "Barret's snoring kept me up..." when she asks you how you slept the
next morning.
7. Do not get caught by the Security Lockdown; get to the end of the train.
8. After defeating Airbuster, before Cloud falls, tell Barret to "Be
strong".
9. When Aeris is fleeing the guards, climb up to the top level and tell her
to Wait each time. Then, push the *wrong* barrel (so that she has to fight
the guard anyway). Do this three times.

11. When you get to the playground in Sector 6, tell Aeris that you will
"Take her home."
12. Get *all* the best items so that Cloud is chosen for the Don's date
(not Tifa or Aeris). Tell the Don that there is someone else, and when he
asks who, tell him "Yes, his name's Barret..."
13. When everyone lands in the sewer, talk to Aeris first.
14. When Marlene asks you how you feel about Aeris, tell her "I do not
know".
15. When you first meet Red XIII, tell Barret to take care of Aeris (keep
Tifa in your party for *this* battle).
16. After the battle with HO512, split up into a team of Cloud, Barret and
Red XIII.
17. When Tifa asks if you can break out, tell her "(Kinda hard)"
18. Think about Barret first, Red XIII second, and Aeris last while you are

team with Cloud, Barret and Red XIII.
20. In Kalm, after the flashback, tell Barret to "Wait a sec", then
"Beautiful, just beautiful!"
21. Make a party immediately afterwards with Barret, Cloud and Red XIII.
In a house in Kalm, there is a woman who asks you about whether Mako energy
is convenient. Tell her "You are full of it". Talk to the girl upstairs,
and when she asks you if the old life is better, say "Yeah, maybe".
22. In Fort Condor, agree twice to the old guy about his plight.
23. You do not have to meet Yuffie; in fact, it is probably better if you
do not. But you can if you want to. Just make sure you get her the first
time, and do not make her run away.
24. On the Cargo Ship, do not give Yuffie a tranquilizer.
25. On the Cargo Ship, tell Aeris "I dunno..." when she asks about the
Airship.
26. On the Cargo Ship, when Tifa asks you about war, say "I do not know".
27. At the Gold Saucer, when you split up, talk to Red XIII first, and take
him with you (do not choose Aeris, Tifa or Yuffie).
28. When you see Barret again in the Corel Prison, and you are about to go
after Dyne, you will be prompted to make a party. Choose Cloud, Barret, and
either Red XIII or Cait Sith. *DO NOT CHOOSE AERIS*! She gets a heck of a
boost if she gets chosen, and will mess up everything you have worked for.
29. Before entering Gongaga Town, make your party into Cloud, Aeris and
Tifa. Then, when you meet Zack's parents, and Aeris and Tifa leave, ignore
*both* of them and leave town.
30. Do not go anywhere near Wutai if you have Yuffie. Instead, go straight
to the Gold Saucer for the date sequence.

For those too lazy to Terence's steps, here is a script of what occurs on all
of the dates. Thanks to Death Sin for supplying the text to Aeris's, Tifa's
and Yuffie's
A date with Aeris
- A Midnight Date - Interrupted by Fireworks -
The scene fades in to Cloud's room at the Ghost Hotel. He is standing by the
window, watching the rain storm outside. There comes a knock at the door. Cloud
goes to answer it, but before he gets there, Aeris bursts in.
Aeris: Hee, hee!
Cloud: What's wrong?
Aeris leans toward Cloud
Aeris: You want to go on a date?
Cloud: What?
Aeris: A DA-TE! Or haven't you ever gone on one?
<CHOICE>

(He crosses his arms)
Aeris: Hey... a little touchy, aren't we?
***Cloud
Well, not a real one...
Aeris: No, just a mixed-up kid...
She gets behind him and shoves him out of the room
Aeris: Oh well. Come on, let's go.
Cloud: Hey.
(They end up at the Station Square. An attendant greets them)
Attendant: Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How

rest of the cast will cover up for you. Come this way.
Cloud: H, hey!
Aeris: This sounds like fun. Come on Cloud, let's do it.
The scene switches to the stage at the front of Event Square. The backdrop is
decked out with paintings of a house, a Debut Chocobo, and "GOLD SAUCER"
scrawled in clumsy white letters.
Narration: Long, long ago... An evil shadow appeared over the peaceful kingdom
of Galdia... Princess Rosa was just kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King,
Valvados. What will become of her? Just then, the legendary hero, Alfred,
appears!!
Cloud is pushed out on stage. A knight dances over next to him,
Knight: Oh... You must be the legendary hero... Alfred!
Cloud sort of looks around
Knight: Hey, it's your line.
Cloud points to himself.
Knight: Yeah, you. Ahem!
The knight stands up and starts rolling his head.
Knight: Oh... You must be the legendary hero... Alfred! I know in my soul.
Please... please save Princess Rosa!
He kneels and raises his arms.
Knight: Now... Please talk... to the King....!!
The King dances out on stage. Cloud runs over to him.
King: Oh... legendary hero, Alfred. You have come to save my beloved
Rosa... On the peak of a dangerous mountain... dwells the Evil Dragon King,
Valvados... who's kidnapped Princess Rosa... But... you can't beat the Evil
Dragon King now! Talk to one who can help you.......

Narration: Oh what is going to happen next...! Oh... Legendary hero... look!
Every one gasps hugely. A giant stuffed dragon swings out on stage, holding
Aeris, who is playing the part of the Princess.
EDK: Gaaaaaaah! I am the Evil Dragon King... Valvados! I have not harmed the
Princess... I have been expecting... you!
Princess: Please help me... Legendary Hero!
She looks up at the dragon.
Princess: psst...... like that?
EDK: Gaaaaaah! Here I come, Legendary hero... Alfred! I already know... your

To the King
To home

Cloud runs over to the Princess, kneels, and kisses her hand.
Princess: Cloud... I mean, Alfred...
They both stand up. EDK starts throwing a tantrum.
EDK: Arrggaahhh!! Curses...... The power of... love!!
EDK is pulleyed off the top of the stage.
King: Oh... look! Love has... triumphed! Now let's all return... And
celebrate.
The wizard nods, hugely.
Wizard: Yes let's... yes let's...!
They all dance off the stage.
Narration: Oh, how profound the power of love... And so the legendary hero
Alfred and our story live on happily ever after.
Cloud and Aeris end up back in Station Square.
Aeris: Oh, that was fun. Hey, let's go on the Gondola.
They head to the Round Square.
Aeris: Two, please.
Ticket Person: Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of the Gold Saucer.
The gondola trundles off. The camera switches to the interior of the gondola,
Aeris sitting on one side, Cloud on the other. Aeris looks out the window
constantly.
Aeris: Wow, how nice.
Cloud looks out the window. FMV sequence of the gondola passing through
beautiful searchlights, rides, and various happy things.
Aeris: Oh! Look, Cloud.
Cloud looks out the window. FMV sequence as the gondola passes the Chocobo
track and the Chocobos race past the window.
Aeris: It's so pretty.
FMV sequence. The gondola rumbles along its track, through dazzling fireworks,
lighting up the entire Saucer.
Aeris: It's beautiful, isn't it?
She looks down.
Aeris: .........first off, it bothered me how you looked exactly alike. Two
completely different people, but look exactly the same. The way you walk,
gesture... I think I must have seen him again, in you...
She shakes her head.
Aeris: But you're different.
She looks down again.
Aeris: Things are different...
FMV sequence. The entire exterior of the Gold Saucer is lit up with fabulous,
starry fireworks displays. Aeris continues to speak.
Aeris: Cloud... I'm searching for you...
Cloud: ............?
Aeris: I want to meet you.
Cloud: But I'm right here.
Aeris : (I know, I know... what I mean is...) I want to meet..... you.
One final, brightest, most stunning yellow flower of fire lights up the night
sky. The gondola returns to Round Square.
Aeris: I had fun tonight. Let's go together again. You don't like being with
me?
<CHOICE>
Yeah
That's not it
***Cloud
Yeah
(Cloud nods)
Aeris: Oh, don't tease me like that!
***Cloud
That's not it
(Cloud shakes his head)
Aeris: I'm glad. Next time we come, let's take our time and go on more rides.
Oh, look at the time. We'd better get going.
Cloud nods. They both head off.
A date with Tifa
- A Midnight Date - Interrupted by Fireworks -
The scene fades in to Cloud's room at the Ghost Hotel. He is standing by the
window, watching the rain storm outside. There comes a knock at the door. Cloud
goes to answer it, but before he gets there, Tifa bursts in.
Tifa: Cloud...
Cloud: What's wrong?
She leans toward Cloud
Tifa: ... I thought about what I was going to say, but, its kinda embarrassing
... Hey, Cloud! Why don't the two of us sneak out of here and spend some time
together?
She runs around behind him and starts pushing him out the door.
Tifa: Come on let's go!
Cloud: Hey.
(They end up at the Station Square. An attendant greets them)
Attendant: Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How
'bout it you two? There's going to be an entertaining show in Event Square!

They head to the Round Square.

Tifa: ...It’s really pretty, isn't it?
She looks down, slightly embarrassed
Tifa: Ok, I'm going to just go ahead and say it.....
Cloud: ...what?
Tifa: Aeris would be able to just come out and say it, probably.
She looks to the window again. FMV sequence. The entire exterior of the Gold
Saucer is lit up with fabulous, starry fireworks displays. Tifa continues to
speak
Tifa: Cloud...? Sometimes being old friends is hard. I mean, timing is
everything.
Cloud: Yeah...
Tifa: Cloud...? I...... ............ ....................
One final, brightest, most stunning yellow flower of fire lights up the night
sky. The gondola returns to Round Square.
Tifa: Cloud, I really had fun tonight.
Cloud: By the way, what did you want to say a minute ago...?
Tifa: N, nothing! Nothing...
Cloud: ?
Tifa: Oh, look at the time. We should be getting back.
Cloud nods. They both head off.
A date with Yuffie
- A Midnight Date - Interrupted by Fireworks -
The scene fades in to Cloud's room at the Ghost Hotel. He is standing by the
window, watching the rain storm outside. There comes a knock at the door and
you hear Yuffie’s voice.
Yuffie: Cloud you up?
Cloud goes to answer the door, but before he gets there, Yuffie bursts in.
Cloud: What's wrong?
She leans toward Cloud.
Yuffie: Would you......keep me company for a bit.
Cloud: Keep you company where?
Yuffie runs behind Cloud and pushes him along.
Yuffie: Just come on.
Cloud: Hey.
They end up at the Station Square. An attendant greets them.
Attendant: Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How
'bout it you two? There's going to be an entertaining show in Event Square!
Yuffie: Cloud, let's go.
They go to the Event Square. For the first time, the seats are filled.
Announcer: Congratulations!! You are our 100th couple today! You two will be
the leads in tonight's show!!!!
Cloud: Wha?
Announcer: Oh, now, it's not hard. Just play it however you want to and the
rest of the cast will cover up for you. Come this way.
Cloud: H, hey!
Yuffie: I don't know what it's all about but sounds cool. Wanna try it, Cloud?
The scene switches to the stage at the front of Event Square. The backdrop is
decked out with paintings of a house, a Debut Chocobo, and "GOLD SAUCER"
scrawled in clumsy white letters.
Narration: Long, long ago... An evil shadow appeared over the peaceful kingdom
of Galdia... Princess Rosa was just kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King,
Valvados. What will become of her? Just then, the legendary hero, Alfred,
appears!!
Cloud is pushed out on stage. A knight dances over next to him,
Knight: Oh... You must be the legendary hero... Alfred!
Cloud sort of looks around
Knight: Hey, it's your line.
Cloud points to himself.
Knight: Yeah, you. Ahem!
The knight stands up and starts rolling his head.
Knight: Oh... You must be the legendary hero... Alfred! I know in my soul.
Please... please save Princess Rosa!
He kneels and raises his arms.
Knight: Now... Please talk... to the King....!!
The King dances out on stage. Cloud runs over to him.
King: Oh... legendary hero, Alfred. You have come to save my beloved
Rosa... On the peak of a dangerous mountain... dwells the Evil Dragon King,
Valvados... who's kidnapped Princess Rosa... But... you can't beat the Evil
Dragon King now! Talk to one who can help you.......
A wizard dances out on stage.
Who will you talk to?

Narration: Oh what is going to happen next...! Oh... Legendary hero... look!
Every one gasps hugely. A giant stuffed dragon swings out on stage, holding
Aeris, who is playing the part of the Princess.
EDK: Gaaaaaaah! I am the Evil Dragon King... Valvados! I have not harmed the
Princess... I have been expecting... you!
Princess: Please help me... Legendary Hero!
She looks up at the dragon.
Princess: psst...... like that?
EDK: Gaaaaaah! Here I come, Legendary hero... Alfred! I already know... your

The knight runs over to EDK and starts bopping him.

EDK knocks him down.

Cloud runs over to the Princess, kneels, and kisses her hand.
Princess: Cloud... I mean, Alfred...
They both stand up. EDK starts throwing a tantrum.
EDK: Arrggaahhh!! Curses...... The power of... love!!
EDK is pulleyed off the top of the stage.
King: Oh... look! Love has... triumphed! Now let's all return... And
celebrate.
The wizard nods, hugely.
Wizard: Yes let's... yes let's...!
They all dance off the stage.
Narration: Oh, how profound the power of love... And so the legendary hero
Alfred and our story live on happily ever after.

Cloud and Yuffie end up back in Station Square.
Yuffie: I didn't get it. Cloud, let's go on the Gondola next.
They head to the Round Square.
Yuffie: There will be two of us.
Ticket Person: Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of the Gold Saucer.
The gondola trundles off. The camera switches to the interior of the gondola,
Yuffie is over her knees on one side, Cloud is sitting on the other. Yuffie
looks out the window constantly.
Yuffie: Wow!
Cloud looks out the window. FMV sequence of the gondola passing through
beautiful searchlights, rides, and various happy things.
Yuffie: Geez!!
Cloud looks out the window. FMV sequence as the gondola passes the Chocobo
track and the Chocobos race past the window.
Yuffie: Cloud!
Cloud and Yuffie watch the fireworks around the gondola. The air seems to
change colors... from red to green to blue... It all seems like a dream.
Yuffie gets up from her seat.
Yuffie: Cloud...?
Yuffie stands up and looks around. She then walks up to Cloud and... kisses
him. Yuffie then walks back to her seat and sits down.
Cloud: ............
Yuffie nervously rubs her head
Yuffie: I just felt like doing that.
Cloud: ............
Yuffie: That's all
She looks to the window again. FMV sequence. The entire exterior of the Gold
Saucer is lit up with fabulous, starry fireworks displays. Yuffie continues to
speak.
Cloud: ............
Yuffie: H, hey!! Say something, why don't you!!
Cloud: ............
Yuffie: ......gawd, I could just die.
Cloud: ............
Yuffie: Say something, PLEASE!
Cloud: ...............something.
A loud SLAP is heard. One final, brightest, most stunning yellow flower of
fire lights up the night sky. The gondola returns to Round Square. Yuffie and
Cloud exit the Gondola. Yuffie yawns.
Yuffie: I’ll think I'll sleep really well tonight. Thanks... for coming with
me.
Cloud nods.
Yuffie: You wanna go back, Cloud?
Cloud turns away. They both head off.
Barret knocks on Cloud's Ghost Hotel door and enters the room.
Barret: Uh, I was jes thinkin' of goin' for a walk....
Cloud: What, just the two of us?
Barret: What's wrong with that!? Do not gimme no lip!! I say we go!
Cloud shrugs and they both leave the room. They are next seen in the Main Room
of the Gold Saucer. What luck, there is something going on at the event
square!
Announcer: Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How
'bout it you two? There’s going to be an entertaining show in the Event
Square!
Barret: Cloud, wanna take a peek?
They run into the Event Square.
Door Greeter: Congratulations! You are our 100th couple today.... Oh, wait...
no you are not..... sorry.
They exit the Event Square. Barret turns to Cloud.
Barret: Let us go somewhere where we can talk, in private.
They run into the Round Square.
Barret: Hey! You mean just the two of us are gettin' on...? ... yeah I guess
that is cool. [To Cashier] Yo. Two.
Cashier: Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of Gold Saucer.
They get on the Gondola and it takes off from the station for a long ride on
the tracks of the Gold Saucer. There is nothing but dead silence for a while,
the scene shifts to an FMV of the Gold Saucer. Incidentally, Barret's theme
plays during this section. The FMV shows off some fireworks and such. The
music sounds awful because it is written to go with other sounds! The scene
shifts back inside of the gondola.
Barret: Hey foo. What you wanna see fireworks with me for?
Cloud: Not having fun?
Barret: You should've asked one or the other!
Cloud: Which would you have asked?
Barret: Oh man, there just ain't no choice! Tifa, Aeris. Ah, Yuffie?
Cloud: (hoo boy)
Barret: What the hell's that supposed to mean? Hey, you do not mean... Marlene?
NO WAY! Forget it! There ain't no way I am lettin' a wacko like you anywhere
near my little Marlene! She is my baby. My prized possession.
The scene goes outside of the gondola into the FMV background, text occupies
what everyone is thinking.
Barret: ........Marlene. Wish I could've brought Marlene here. She did love
the fireworks. Why the hell do I gotta be here with a foo like you...! S-word
the more I think 'bout it... the madder I get... Damn fireworks anyway.
[Barret shoots his gun-arm]
Barret: Shut up...
The gondola pulls back into the station.
Barret: Oh man, I am beat. Let's head back...
They exit back into the main room. At this point every following event is the
same as all of the other dates.
