How each character is chosen is based upon a hidden value in the game's code, which cannot be viewed without hacking. Depending on the player's choices, Cloud may go on a date with Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie (only if she has been recruited), or even Barret. The night's date is chosen based upon the player's dialogue choices and actions throughout the game up to that point. The player can decide who takes Cloud on a date during the party's second plot-related visit to Gold Saucer in " Secret Date". The date mechanics are a gameplay element in Final Fantasy VII.
