Final Fantasy 7 (VII) Remake How to Get All Dresses (Bridal Outfits)

April 9, 2020 by PowerPyx 72 Comments

Final Fantasy 7 (VII) Remake has 9 Dresses (Bridal Candidate Outfits). Tifa, Aerith and Cloud have 3 Dresses each. Unlocking all dresses unlocks the Dressed to the Nines trophy.

The Dresses are semi-missable and depend on the choices you make from Chapter 3 to Chapter 9. Tifa’s Dresses are based on Chapter 3 choices, Aerith’s on Chapter 8, and Cloud’s on Chapter 9. The guide below shows how to get every dress in Final Fantasy VII Remake and then goes through the best method to get them all quickly.

The Dresses will only be worn at the very end of Chapter 9. This happens automatically as part of the story when Tifa, Aerith and Cloud are presented to Don Corneo as potential brides. You must finish Chapter 9 each time to make the Dresses count. This means making the choice for Tifa’s dress in Chapter 3 won’t count as having unlocked the dress, you must still finish Chapter 9 for each of her 3 Dresses.

Per playthrough you can only get 1 dress per person! After the story you unlock Chapter Select which allows you to skip from Chapter 3 to Chapter 9 instantly without the need to play anything in between. When you replay a chapter it updates your choices in all later chapters too (must finish the chapter to save choices). After finishing the story you can also check your progress under Main Menu > System > Play Log.

Tifa Dresses (Chapter 3)

Tifa’s Dresses depend on what you tell her to wear in the Chapter 3 Discovery Event. You only get this Event after completing all Side Quests in Chapter 3. There will be a purple marker on your bedroom. Head there and you can choose between 3 options: Mature, Sporty, Exotic. This determines what she’ll be wearing in Chapter 9 (must still finish Chapter 9 for it to count). Completely ignoring this event will make her wear the Mature dress by default.

  • Tifa Dress #1: In Chapter 3 do all Side Quests which triggers a purple Discovery Event on your bedroom. Do the Discovery Event and pick “Mature” Dress Option. Alternatively, do only 1 side quest (doesn’t matter which) to advance the story and don’t do the Discovery Event at all and she’ll wear the Mature dress by default. – Blue Dress
  • Tifa Dress #2: In Chapter 3 do all Side Quests which triggers a purple Discovery Event on your bedroom. Do the Discovery Event and pick “Sporty” Dress Option. – Chinese Qipao Black Dress with Leopard pattern
  • Tifa Dress #3: In Chapter 3 do all Side Quests which triggers a purple Discovery Event on your bedroom. Do the Discovery Event and pick “Exotic” Dress Option. – Black Japanese Dress with red hairbow

Aerith Dresses (Chapter 8)

Aerith’s Dresses are based on how many side quests you do in Chapter 8. Doing all 6 side quests in Chapter 8 gets you a pretty red dress. Doing 3/6 side quests gets you a pink dress. Doing 0/6 side quests gets you a basic pink dress. Aerith will also make a comment about this in Chapter 8. If you did all Side Quests she’ll tell you “it will pay off later”, by that she’s referring to what dress she’ll wear in Chapter 9.

  • Aerith Dress #1: In Chapter 8 do 6/6 side quests – Long Red Dress
  • Aerith Dress #2: In Chapter 8 do 3/6 side quests – Pink Dress
  • Aerith Dress #3: In Chapter 8 do 0/6 side quests – Basic Pink Dress

Cloud Dresses (Chapter 9)

Cloud’s Dress depends on which set of side quests you do in Chapter 9 or whether you skip all Chapter 9 side quests. Your chapter 9 decisions will impact whether you get the side quests The Party Never Stops & A Dynamite Body or The Price of Thievery & Shears’ Counterattack. They cancel out each other. Meaning you can only get the first 2 or the last 2 per playthrough. The quest Burning Thighs will always be available in Chapter 9, be sure to complete this too. Click the linked side quest names for their exact unlock requirements.

  • Cloud Dress #1: In Chapter 9 do Side Quests The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs – Black/Blue Dress
  • Cloud Dress #2: In Chapter 9 do Side Quests The Price of Thievery, Shears’ Counterattack, Burning Thighs – White Dress
  • Cloud Dress #3: In Chapter 9 skip all Side Quests (don’t do any side quest in Chapter 9) – Simple Black Dress

Most Effective Way to get All Dresses:

Because you can only get 1 dress with each character per playthrough you will need do some Chapter Replays. After the story you unlock Chapter Selection. You can select Chapter 3, pick your missing Tifa Dress, finish Chapter 3 and exit (make sure you finish the Chapter). Then select Chapter 8, do the required quest for missing Aerith dress. Finish Chapter 8 and do the required quests in Chapter 9 for Cloud’s dress. You can directly skip from Chapter 3 to Chapter 8 (no need to play Chapters 4-7). It will automatically update your choice for all subsequent chapters. Just make sure you actually complete Chapter 3 so the game saves your new choice.

Playthrough 1:

Chapter 3 (Tifa): Pick Sporty (did all side quests)
Chapter 8 (Aerith): Do all side quests
Chapter 9 (Cloud): Do first set of side quests The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs

Playthrough 2:

Chapter 3 (Tifa): Do any 1 side quest to advance story, ignore all other quests (will automatically pick Mature)
Chapter 8 (Aerith): Do 0 side quests
Chapter 9 (Cloud): Do 0 side quests

Playthrough 3:

Chapter 3 (Tifa): Pick Exotic (did all side quests)
Chapter 8 (Aerith): Do 3/6  side quests
Chapter 9 (Cloud): Do second set of side quests The Price of Thievery, Shears’ Counterattack, Burning Thighs

 

That’s how you unlock all 9 Bridal Dresses in Final Fantasy VII Remake.

    Do they all have to be unlocked on a single save file or can I make a manual save before I make each choice and reload it?

    Reply
    • PowerPyx says

      April 12, 2020 at 5:18 pm

      You can do it across different saves. It counts your progress on the profile save, which is not bound to any one single manual save.

    • Mitch says

      April 12, 2020 at 9:26 pm

      So does this mean I can have 3 separate save files with 3 dresses on each one?

    • PowerPyx says

      April 13, 2020 at 12:27 am

      Yes and no. You can create as many manual saves as you want.
      But you need to finish Chapter 9. You technically can’t have only 1 on a save. The minimum you can have on a save is 3, when you finish Chapter 9 where the dresses are worn. They are not worn before then and completing their requirement won’t actually count for anything until you put them on in Chapter 9.

      After doing the requirements you have to finish Chapter 9. Only then they count. How many manual saves you create in the meantime plays no role.

    So the trophy will pop without seing the dresses in chapter 9?

      Well you only get to see 3 Dresses per playthrough. You can’t have all 9 in one playthrough.
      When you have your last 3 dresses play to the end of Chapter 9 (they will show the dresses in Corneo’s Office at end of chapter).

    • FinalFantasy548 says

      April 28, 2020 at 10:16 pm

      The trophy will pop when you get Cloud walking out in his dress if that’s the last one needed for the 9.

    Can I do the chap 3 and chap 8 prerequisites on easy mode and then clear chap 9 on hard mode? Or do I need to have made those chap 3 and 8 choices on hard mode?

    Reply
    • PowerPyx says

      April 13, 2020 at 5:38 am

      The difficulty doesn’t matter. I don’t see for what reason you’d mix the difficulties, but it shouldn’t affect anything as long as you make sure to finish Chapter 3 & 8 so it saves the choices.

    • Kristoff says

      May 24, 2020 at 1:54 pm

      I also had the same question. I have 1 manuscript I need to obtain in Hard mode from Chapter 9 (from the side quest “A Dynamite Body”). Ideally, I would like to get the last set of dresses AND grab the last manuscript by playing Chapter 3 & 8 on Easy and then Chapter 9 on Hard as opposed to playing Chapter 3, 8, & 9 on Hard.

  4. Darudius says

    April 13, 2020 at 7:21 pm

    So can I, for example, choose Tifa’s dress in chapter 3 and then go to chapter select and then do Aeriths and then Clouds or do I have to play through the chapters after 3 for it to count?

    Can you use chapter select or do you need to do 3 separate playthroughs?

    I spent a whole day trying to get this trophy to pop using chapter select. I know for a fact that I’ve gone through all 9 dresses and I’ve seen all of them, completing chapters 3, 8 and 9 to make sure I didn’t mess anything up, but the trophy never popped.

      I just earned the “best in the business” trophy and it didn’t pop up on screen.. I knew I was finishing the last quest so I was paying attention, but it never popped. When I looked, it was there.

    For Cloud, the second dress was registered once he wore it and I haven’t finished Chapter 9 yet coz I was going for Best in the Business trophy. Through chapter select to be clear. In case someone doing the same don’t worry about. One dress is out of the way 🙂

    Do you have to play chapter 3 from the start or can you make a save before you interact with Tifa? I know that I gotten all the 9 dresses but the trophy doesn’t wanna pop.

    Actually that isn’t the most effective way to get all 9 dresses unlock. This guide has you wasting time re-doing the side-quests again. Which is ineffective and a time waster.

    The most effective way on your first playthrough is to ignore all the side quests. Beat the game and unlock Chapter select. Don’t worry about the missing rewards from the side quests, the game is still very easy on normal and if you’re struggling, set it to Easy mode. Your goal is to unlock Chapter select.

    Now go back to Chapter 3 to complete all the side quests. Just before you talk to Tifa to choose any of the options besides Mature, make a manual save point. As you can go back to choosing the other option before completing the chapter again to save the changes. Now on to Chapter 8, do half of the side quest, 3/6. Make a manual save point, complete the chapter at 3/6 and come back to this save point later to finish 6/6 for the final outfit. As for Cloud, just alternate on the quests to get the outfit you need for each play through.

    To break it down:

    1st Play:
    Tifa: 0 quests complete
    Aerith: 0 quests complete
    Cloud: 0 quests complete

    2nd Play:
    Tifa: 100% quest complete, select what you want, manual save point before finishing the chapter
    Aerith: 50% quest complete
    Cloud: Do first set of side quests The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs

    3rd Play:
    Tifa: reload manual save, select what you’re missing, finish the chapter.
    Aerith: 100% quest complete, make another manual save before completing chapter. Now you can view any of her outfits again as you wish.
    Cloud: Do second set of side quests The Price of Thievery, Shears’ Counterattack, Burning Thighs

    This is the most effective way, as you’re not wasting time repeating the side-quest(s) again. You’re only playing them through once.

      You’d miss out on many trophies and Materia / Equipment on your first playthrough. This is also a very restrictive way to play, you’d miss out on the best part, the side quests, on your first playthrough, which really hurts the experience. And that makes the game harder as you don’t have the rewards or XP.
      Maybe if your only goal in the game is getting nothing but the dresses and don’t care about anything else, but this approach makes zero sense when you want all trophies or 100% completion (you’d miss all Johnny Encounters etc). You’d only end up replaying more, not less by overcomplicating it like that.

      Just do it the straightforward way. My method is optimized for trophies and game completion, much better to do all side quests on first playthrough. And you don’t really waste time replaying much regardless. Do 2nd playthrough on hard and skip all side quests then. But DON’T skip them on first run, you’ll struggle on hard if you don’t have the rewards. This way you only need to chapter select / reload once. With my method you get 3 dresses automatically on hard playthrough (2nd playthrough).

      This gave me 2 save files I cant delete now because of the way this game locks your saves into a save and can’t be deleted in saves or Storage.

      Not happy.

  10. Randy says

    April 15, 2020 at 11:42 am

    Shoot, I cannot edit my comment.

    Correction to:

    2nd Play:
    Tifa: 100% quest complete, select what you want, manual save point before finishing the chapter
    Aerith: 50% quest complete. *manual save at this point*

    You want to manual save before you make your selection. Then finish the chapter. If you make your selection then save, well… that’d screw yourself over. You also want to manual save once you done 50% quest completion for Aerith. So you can reload this one later to 100% it.

    You can also manual save each of Cloud’s alternative quest routes to mix and match the outfits for the final reveal. In short, finish those quest route and save it before you complete the chapter.

    As it seem, Mature on Tifa, 100% Quest completion on Aerith, and doing Cloud’s Side Quests The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs are all the matching set.

    Regardless though, Don will always pick Cloud even in his crappy attire.

      If you manual saved before making your decision… at say 1/3 dresses, then played ahead to get 2/3… then loaded your manual save to pick the other option… you’d be back at 1/3 dresses where your save was when you made it, your method makes absolutely no sense. Your save isn’t going to magically remember you managed to get 2/3.

      1 is mandatory to advance the story and has to be done (pick any one of them, doesn’t matter which). Just ignore all non-manadatory ones. I’ve adjusted that bit to avoid confusion.

    So…first playthrough picked Exotic for Tifa in Chapter 3. Beat the game. Went back to Chapter 3 and picked Mature. Chapter skipped to Chapter 9 and she’s still wearing Exotic. I guess I can’t just Chapter Skip after choosing Mature and completing the quest and have to finish Chapter 3…

    • PowerPyx says

      April 16, 2020 at 11:47 am

      Yes you must finish Chapter 3 (which is explained in this guide). The game also gives you a tutorial for it after the story that chapters must be finished to save the choices.

  14. AndCar says

    It gets even more complicated trying to get all these AND all manuscripts on hard mode… I’d suppose the most effective way would be to skip side quests on your 1st playthrough, which has so many disadvantages.

      For Aerith’s Dresses, the way I’m understanding it, it goes:

      0/6 Quests: Basic Pink Dress

      3/6 Quests: Pink Dress

      6/6 Quests: Red Dress

      This would imply that the Basic Pink Dress is the default and to move up to the next dress, you must complete at least 3 quests, and to move up to the Red dress, you must complete 6. Therefore, if you want the manuscripts in chapter 8, the strategy would be

      6/6 Quests on initial play-through for the Red Dress

      2/6 Quests on Hard Mode when working for the Basic Pink Dress

      4/6 Quests on Hard Mode when working for the Pink Dress

      Only completing 2 quests shouldn’t unlock the Pink Dress, and only completing 4 shouldn’t unlock the Red.

    April 18, 2020 at 12:36 am

    So, I’ve finished all the 2nd and 3rd dresses for everyone and just finished chapter 9 again, so if i now go back to do chapter 9 are Tifa’s and Aerith’s going to be the default ones? So that i only have to do Clouds ‘simple’ dress ‘quest’ in chapter 9

      In that case I think they’re keeping the last dresses they wore, you’d have to replay chapters 3 and 8 to get different dresses for Tifa and Aerith.

    Leaving a manual save in chapter 3 doesn’t work. I did my first playthrough normally. Then I did chapter select but I left a save in chapter 3 so I wouldn’t have to do all the side quests again. Proceeded with chapters 3,8 and 9 and got the second outfit choices for each. However, loading that manual save and choosing the options for the remaining 3 outfits, and completing the chapters didn’t pop up the trophy. So it can’t be done across multiple saves. So now I have to replay chapters 3,8 and 9 all over again. Hope this helps cause I wasted a few hours of my life lol

    What I had to do was the following:
    My first play-through I did all the side quests in chapter 3, 8 and picked mature for Tifa. Which gave me the purple dress for Tifa, and the red dress for Aerith. For Cloud I did “The Price of Thievery, Shears’ Counterattack, Burning Thighs” quests, which gave me the white dress.

    My second run I did all the tasks in chapter 3 and picked sporty which gave me the leopard one. (I saved a file just before the selection). For Aerith I did none which net me the basic dress. For Cloud I did the second set of quests “The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs”

    I then reloaded the manual save just before Tifa’s selection and picked my final one. However, that didn’t work the trophy didn’t get unlocked.
    And yes I played through the entire chapters 3, 8, and 9 fully.

    I had to go back to my original save file start chapter 3, 8 and 9 again and once Cloud got his final dress the trophy unlocked

    I just noticed in my “clean up run” (after finishing normal difficulty) that you don’t have to finish chapters for dresses to count in Play Log. I got Tifa’s second dress the moment she arrived in Wall Market in chocobo carriage, Cloud’s and Aerith’s when Don made his choice and you control Aerith again.

    I think the best way to go about it would be similar to what you said, but flipped for the 2nd and 3rd playthrough:

    1st Playthrough: Do all sidequests and 100% completion (gets you Sporty/Exotic Tifa, Red Aerith and Black/Blue Cloud dresses)

    2nd Playthrough on HARD: Do all sidequests in Chapter 3 (pick either Sporty/Exotic, opposite of whatever you chose), do 3/6 sidequests in Chapter 8 for Pink Dress and opposite sidequests in Chapter 9 for White Dress.

    3rd Playthrough: Chapter Select 3, 8 and 9 and speedrun them, ignoring all quests to get final 3 dresses.

    I think it’s probably better this way because if you skip all side quests on your 2nd Hard playthrough you’ll miss out on some manuscripts which can help A LOT for beating some of the tougher enemies towards the end of the game.

      I came to post this same strategy and agree 100%. If you want to get all the manuscripts, this is the most optimized way to do it since you will have to do side quests on hard to get them. @PowerPyx, would it be possible to update this guide and the Trophy Guide & Roadmap for details about this method if you are going for all manuscripts?

    This is the only one i need for platinum and it’s giving me major headaches.

    Just so you know i was 3/3 cloud 3/3 tifa and 1/3 arieth.

    Word of warning. I thought i was being a smart arse saving the game right before you encounter rude and before you visit arieth’s mother for the first time so i could do zero quests, progress through chapter 9, get a dress, get dumped in the sewers in to chapter 10 then reload chapter 8 save do quests etx etc.

    Well ahem….it didnt work. None of my saves not even the auto save registered the 2nd dress so fml it looks like you need to do chapter 8 from its entirety from start to finish.

    How can you not do any side quests for chapter 9 in order to get the black dress for Cloud? As a chapter progress requirement after I leave Aerith with Madam M, the games tells me to do some jobs so time passes and there is no other options, also if I go back to Madam M straight away, Cloud says they are not ready…I’m confused!!!!

      I didn’t have to do any quest. You just need to have unlocked the side quests and can then head back to the massage parlor right away. Maybe try talking to Sam (the Chocobo Cowboy guy) and returning to Madam M after that. I didn’t have to wait either, I was able to go back to Madam M right away, but it may depend on whose quests you get (Sam’s or Madam M’s). So if you get Sam’s quests you may need to talk to him first. Let me know if that worked, as it could help other people too.

      Just got the black dress for cloud and did it exactly the way which goes for “The Party Never Stops” Route… and after I talked to Chocobo Sam and went back to Madam M there was no problem and I got in. Last time I unlocked the “Price of Thievery” and there was only side quest options…
      One more thing, I didn’t need to finish chapter 9 and after I got the black dress on my way to Corneo mansion the achievement popped up and I got the Platinum right after! Hope this helps.

      Thank you again for your great guides and help!

    Can I do chapter 8 1st for 3/6 quest for Aerith, then go back to play chapter 3 for Tifa exotic dress? I knew my sequence is wrong but I mess up and didn’t complete chap 3 but somehow complete chap 8 after finish, does the choice in these 2 chap (even though wrong sequences) carry over to chap 9?

    If you want to get all the manuscripts, this is what I recommend:

    1st Playthrough (Normal):
    • Chapter 3 (Tifa) – Complete all sidequests – Choose Sporty or Exotic
    • Chapter 8 (Aerith) – Complete all sidequests – Long Red Dress
    • Chapter 9 (Cloud) – The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body, Burning Thighs – Blue Dress

    2nd Playthrough (Hard):
    • Chapter 3 (Tifa) – Complete all sidequests – Choose other dress from Playthrough 1 (not Mature)
    • Chapter 8 (Aerith) – Complete 5/6 sidequests (Skip “A Verified Hero”) – Pink Dress
    • Chapter 9 (Cloud) – The Price of Thievery, Shears’ Counterattack, Burning Thighs – White Dress

    3rd Playthrough (Read note below for difficulty):
    • Chapter 3 (Tifa) – 1 mandatory sidequest – Mature Dress
    • Chapter 8 (Aerith) – 0 sidequests – Basic Pink Dress
    • Chapter 9 (Cloud) – 0 sidequests – Black Dress

    You will have to replay Chapter 9 again on hard for 1 missed manuscript (from “A Dynamite Body”) so you have a few options. Play on Hard for your 3rd playthrough, make a manual save when you beat Hell House, and complete the chapter with 0 sidequests completed for Cloud’s black dress. Reload your save after the trophy pops and you can complete “The Party Never Stops” quest line to get “A Dynamite Body”‘s manuscript. This method will get you the trophy, but your Play Log will not show all the dresses for Cloud, so completionists might want to do the 3rd playthrough on Normal with 0 side quests, then once more on Hard to get the last manuscript.

    Thanks. I mixed and matched some of the quests/dresses/run through # because of the choices I made before discovering this guide. Very easy to follow and helpful in my Platinum Trophy journey.

      Same here.
      I have screenshots and saves with 3 Aerith dresses, but the game shows 2/3.
      Anyone have a solution?

    It’s mindblowing that there are almost 100people asking the same stuff over and over and over, even tho it is very easy to understand when reading the guide.

    And the guy writing the responses is still always nice when answering the same stuff he wrote a whole guide for.. Give this guy a medal.

    Do I have to do only 3 quests to have the dress? Or can I clear at least 3quests? Can I clear 5 quests to have the dress of the supposed 3 quests? Sorry for the stupid question.

    I just want it to be known that I messed up the choices for Clouds best dress. I forgot to check the guide and missed the first choice and picked “she’s a great fighter”, but I did every other choice and The Party Never Stops still showed up for me.

    So I did the 3 side quests in chapter 8 for Aerith’s 3rd dress and it still gave me the regular pink one as if I did 0 quests. I think it’s because I counted the moogle kid as a side quests (which it was) but I shouldn’t have… I’m now gonna have to redo that whole damn chapter again and it’s driving me nuts.

    Perhaps you should change the guide to state that the moogle side quest does not count towards the 3 side quests,
