Chapter 4: Choose dialogue option "The only person from the village I remember is you" or "The general store kid" when Tifa asks about Emilio at the Under Junon Inn.
Chapter 6: Choose dialogue option "Wanna go back?" when Tifa mentions Seventh Heaven at Costa del Sol beach.

Gold Saucer Date
During your first visit to the Gold Saucer in Chapter 8, you'll be accompanied by Tifa if you have the highest relationship level with her. Your choices after Chapter 8 can result in a different partner appearing on the date in Chapter 12. Aim for the highest relationship level with Tifa to unlock special intimate scenes during the Gold Saucer date.
