Learn how to increase Aerith's affection in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion to unlock the 'Good Match for Aerith' trophy. Follow our guide for all the steps!
Alright, so you want to snag that 'Good Match for Aerith' trophy in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion? It's actually pretty straightforward, but it's also one of those things you can totally miss if you're not paying attention. My biggest tip? Make a hard save right after you get to the market and your wallet gets swiped. That way, if you mess up the affection points, you can just reload and try again without replaying a bunch of stuff.
The whole goal here is to get Aerith's affection level nice and high by the time you finish up in the market and head to the park with her. You won't see a visible meter for it, so you'll have to go by her reactions to know if you're on the right track. Don't worry, though, I'll break down exactly what gives you those precious affection points.
Affection Activities & Points:
- Visiting each of the three shops before getting your wallet back: +10 affection each (total +30)
- Giving the boy up to five Potions: +2 affection each (total +10)
- Choosing to wait 10 times when speaking to the girl: +10 affection
- Choosing “I’ll buy the medicine for you” when speaking to Bruno: +10 affection
- Completing the perfume blending mini-game with a perfect result three times in a row: +10 affection
- Completing the Materia Collection mini-game in under 14 seconds: +5 affection
- 1Visiting the Shops (Without Aerith): While Zack is on his own looking for Bruno, make sure you interact with all three shops in the market. This is super important because it counts towards Aerith's affection later. Each shop visit gives you +10 affection, so that's a total of +30 if you hit all three.
- 2The Young Boy (Without Aerith): You'll run into a young boy who's acting like a bit of a shady dealer. He'll ask for a Potion in exchange for information, which is really just a stall tactic. Giving him a Potion gets you +2 affection with Aerith. You can do this up to five times, netting you a total of +10 affection.
- 3The Young Girl (Without Aerith): Later, you'll meet a young girl who asks you to wait for her. This is your chance to rack up more points! When you get the option to keep waiting, pick it. Do this a total of 10 times, and you'll earn +10 affection.
- 4Speaking to Aerith & Bruno: Once you've done all the above, find Aerith and eventually, you'll corner Bruno. When you get the dialogue choice about buying medicine, make sure you pick “I’ll buy the medicine for you.” This is worth another +10 affection.
- 5Market Activities (With Aerith): After you get your wallet back, there are a few more mini-games in the market that boost Aerith's affection. You can also get trophies for these!
- Perfume Blending: Get a perfect blend three times in a row. This will give you +10 affection. Aerith will react a bit differently after the third perfect blend, so you'll know you've nailed it.
- 6Materia Collection: If you can beat this mini-game in under 14 seconds, you'll get +5 affection.
Trophy Unlock:
After all these steps, Bruno will approach you, give you the Steal Materia, and make a comment about you and Aerith. If he says, “You and Aerith make a Good Couple,” congratulations, the 'Good Match For Aerith' Trophy/Achievement is yours! If he doesn't say that, don't sweat it – just reload your save from the beginning of the market section and try again.
