Anonymous over 5 yearsAnother time I played I chose better things for Tifa (ex: like when we have to choose between going to either Tifa or Aerith in the sewers before the Abzu fight- which I think makes a big difference in affinity)- and this made her come up first in the final boss fight. Playing the game multiple times, I realised things aren’t as random as some think it is. You can try it yourself and see if it works, though. Just to make sure. For me, I love repeating this game XD

It's based on your previous affinity choices in the other chapters as well and the key is to not use any evenly like don't use Barret in the whisper fight except to basic attack just use Tifa's skills and her until Aerith shows up then use Aerith and this combat affinity is affected by the other chapters combat so basically use Aerith alot and Tifa second most when Aerith isn't really around and the points will make Aerith first with Tifa second.
