Win Cloud's Beachwear

	Objectives
1	Beach Boys You'll play as Cloud on his own. After going outside, you'll receive a ticket which you can use to play mini-games. Complete one of two mini-games to purchase an outfit. ▶ Card Carnival Minigame Guide ▶ Pirate’s Rampage Minigame Guide You can optionally complete both minigames to purchase both outfits.
2a	Card Carnival A brain teaser in which you have to play Queen's Blood with the opponent's moves already completed and only 3 cards available to you. Win at 3 challenges to earn the companion card needed for an outfit. Play this minigame if you prefer puzzles over action, or if you want to skip this section, as you can easily look up the answers. ┗Jump to Card Carnival Answers
2b	Pirate's Rage A shooting gallery where you'll aim and fire at targets within a limited time. 10,000 points are required to earn the companion card needed for an outfit. Play this mini-game if you prefer action over puzzles. Aiming on a controller can be tricky, so it might be best to wait for a PC release to aim for a perfect score. Turn Adaptive Triggers Off to make the R2 button easier to press down.
3	You can begin raising your relationship level with Yuffie by talking to her in front of the red truck near the Surf and Suntan entrance on the northern side of the City Center. ┗Jump to Chapter 6 Romance and Relationship Guide

Win Aerith and Tifa's Beachwear Walkthrough

1	Fun While It Lasts Next, you'll play as Aerith, Tifa, and Red XIII. Again, you'll receive a ticket to play mini-games. Complete one of the following mini-games to get an outfit for Aerith. ▶ Run Wild Minigame Guide ▶ Cactuar Caper Minigame Guide Note: You can do Aerith's minigames and Tifa's minigames in any order as long as you do one of each.
2a	Run Wild Kick a soccer ball into opponents' goals and don't let it get kicked into yours. A bit of a grind, but less of a hassle than Cactuar Caper, so overall the best option for Aerith.
2b	Cactuar Caper Take a photo of the four hidden cactuars scattered across Costa del Sol to obtain a companion card. ┗Jump to Where to Find the Cactuars
3	Complete one of the following mini-games to get an outfit for Tifa. ▶ Wheelie Rendezvous Minigame Guide ▶ Piano Minigame Guide
4a	Wheelie Rendezvous Gather 2 red, 2 blue, and 2 yellow wheelies and bring them back to their respective parking lots. This minigame is easier than Cactuar Caper, but not exactly fun, so fine to skip this one unless you dislike the Piano minigame. ┗Jump to Wheelie Locations Map
4b	Piano Concerto Play Tifa's Theme on piano in the same way as you (optionally) did in the Demo. Note: The song is exactly the same as when it appeared in the Demo, so if you already practiced it then, you should have no trouble here.
4	Purchase one of the outfits for Aerith and Tifa, change clothes, and go to the beach. ┗Jump to Which Beach Outfits to Choose?
