Tifa's Chapter 9 Outfits (Exotic, Mature, and Sporty)

How to Unlock Tifa Dress Options in FF7 Remake

In FF7 Remake, players can unlock a scene with Tifa where she asks Cloud what outfit would suit her on a night out. This scene, called “Alone at Last” is unlocked by completing all of the Chapter 3 side quests the Sector 7 slum residents give you as a merc for hire around town. The side quests needed to unlock the Tifa dress choice scene are:

Chadley’s Report
Lost Friends
Rat Problem
Nuisance in the Factory
On the Prowl
Just Flew In From the Graveyard

After completing the odd jobs, a new Discovery will come up called “Alone at Last”. Head back to Cloud’s apartment and the scene will unfold. Tifa will ask you to choose between three dress options that include:

Mature: A violet cocktail dress with a plunging neckline and open back.
Exotic: A short black kimono accented with a silver obi and matching bows with red flowers.
Sporty: A silver and black leopard print cheongsam with high splits on the side, reminiscent of Street Fighter’s Chun Li.

Your response to Tifa’s question will dictate what she wears in Chapter 9. If you’re wondering what each choice looks like, take a look at the gallery we put together above. We also have a FF7 Remake Chapter 3 walkthrough for the completionists who don't want to miss out on any Materia or accessory in this portion of the game.

How to Unlock All the Dresses in FF7 Remake

Tifa isn’t the only character that players can unlock outfits for. Aerith and Cloud also have their own dresses that change depending on the number of side quests you complete during specific chapters. The number of completed side quests in Chapter 8 will dictate Aerith’s dress. The options are a frilly light pink summer dress, a pink flowy halter dress, and a deep red gown with ruffles. These are the side quests needed to unlock Aerith's dresses:

Light pink dress: 0-2 chapter 8 side quests
Pink halter dress: 3-4 chapter 8 side quests
Red gown: 5 (or all) chapter 8 side quests

FF7 Remake: Aerith's Dresses in Chapter 9

Not only will you get a beautiful gown for Aerith by completing side quests in Chapter 8, but you'll also unlock different cutscenes with her. Similarly, the Chapter 9 side quests players unlock and complete will determine the dress Cloud wears. His options include a basic black gown with white and light blue accents, a black dress with a frilly blue corset and sheer sleeves, and a very frilly, elaborate light purple gown. These are the side quests you need to complete to get each of Cloud’s dresses:

Basic black dress: Only complete one Chapter 9 side quest (Burning Thighs is the shortest).
Blue corseted gown with black flower hairpiece: Complete all of Chocobo Sam’s set of side quests
Frilly Light Purple gown with a tiara: Complete all of Madam M’s set of side quests

Though the basic black dress is the easiest to get, completing all of either Madam M's or Chocobo Sam's side quests will also net you a new, extremely powerful weapon for Aerith called the Arcane Scepter. Whether you get Madam M's or Sam's quests are contingent on the series of choices you make in Chapter 9. Some are weighted toward one or the other, while others are neutral.

Here are the choices we're sure of:

Madam M

Do not participate in Sam's coin toss
Choose the Expensive Massage Course

Chocobo Sam

Choose heads or tails in Sam's coin toss
Choose the Poor Man's Massage Course

We can't be certain how the rest of the choices are weighted, but here are two different series of decisions we made that resulted in both outcomes. To get Madam M's side quests, we chose "What does it matter?" about Aerith's dress, did not play Sam's coin-toss, chose the Expensive Massage Course, and did Vagabond Johnny's discovery. To get Chocobo Sam's side quests, we said "Looks comfortable," about Aerith's dress, chose heads or tails for Sam's coin toss, chose the Poor Man's Massage Course, and did not do the Vagabond Johnny discovery.

FF7 Remake: Cloud's Dresses in Chapter 9

After completing Chapter 9, you’ll earn a trophy called Snappy Dresser. This is earned after obtaining the three bridal candidate outfits for Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud. But it is possible to unlock all the dresses and earn another trophy called Dressed to the Nines. Dressed to the Nines requires you to beat Final Fantasy 7 Remake first, which will unlock the ability to revisit individual chapters and fulfill the specific requirements for unlocking each individual dress. This means playing through the chapters listed above again but if you unlock a new dress for each character every time, you can cut down on the number of times you replay through them. Check out our Final Fantasy 7 Remake walkthroughs for chapter 8 and chapter 9 for a more detailed breakdown of these sections in the game.

What is the best Tifa accessory? ›

The Full Throttle Wristguards are hands-down the best Accessory for your melee fighters, namely Cloud or Tifa, unless you're building Red XIII or Yuffie out a certain way.
