FF7 Rebirth: Does It Matter What Swimsuits You Choose In Costa Del Sol?

offers a choice of swimsuits for Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith at Costa del Sol, and there's a reason to pay attention to the options at hand. Acquiring one vacation get-up for each character is a mandatory part of progression, as the beach doesn't allow anyone to step out onto the sands if they're not dressed for the part. Barret has this covered with his iconic sailor suit that he first dons in Junon, but for the others, this can be a somewhat more involved task.

A local festival provides the means to make it to the beach in, offering a variety of Costa del Sol minigame challenges that reward victors with tickets. Each ticket can be turned in for one unique article of clothing, with two minigames corresponding to each character and two swimsuits likewise available for each. It's possible to call it quits after completing one minigame each or go all the way to rack up every beachwear option, but either way, a final call will have to be made about which ensemble to wear when stepping out onto the beach.

Picking which swimsuits to wear in Costa del Sol is more than just a cosmetic choice, as how the array is distributed can affect Cloud's bonds with Tifa and Aerith. It isn't about appealing to anyone's individual sense of style, however, but simply a matter of matching vibes. If Cloud wears something that fits into the same basic category as what one of the girls is wearing, he'll raise his bond with her, and matching both will increase affection across the board.

Even though each character's options have their own unique flavor, it isn't too hard to pick out which ones go together. The skimpier, swim-oriented apparel is treated as one set, while casual choices that look appropriate for relaxing under an umbrella make up the other category. Breaking it down, the first line-up is Cloud's Wild Surf, Tifa's Shining Spirit, and Aerith's Pink Mermaid, and the second is Cloud's Ocean Chocobo, Tifa's Majestic Glamour, and Aerith's Floral Delight.
