All Aboard
The chapter begins in earnestonce you step aboard the Shinra-8. We’re en route to thewestern continent now, even if that’s a bit of a misnomer (what, then, do we call the continent to the west of the western continent?). But we digress.
Clear the entryway and explore each guest cabin; in the first cabin on the left is atreasure chest with two Antidotes. You’ll noticethe affinity iconsover a few party members, but you won’t be able to interact with ‘em just yet - Tifa and Aerith disappear to get changed.
The affinity boosting throughout FF7 Rebirth’s first 11 chapters can make things awfully close when it comes time forthe game to determine the identity of Cloud’s date at the Gold Saucer. Don’t shy away from less-than-satisfactory replies for folks you don’t want him stuck with.
You can return to this area at your leisure for a while, so don’t feel like you’re missing out if you move ahead to thelounge,whereCaptain Titov announces the commencement of a Queen’s Blood tournament.
Cloud will meetRegina, after which you shouldspeak with every party memberbefore accepting an opening in the tournament. You don’t have to win the tournament, butfun cutscenes and card prizes awaitif you do. We’re going in under the assumption that you’ll try!
