I am towards the end of chapter 11 and I think I am going to get stuck going on the chapter 12 date with Red. He is the only one with a light blue icon. The others are all dark blue. It is disappointing considering he is my least favorite and I didn't use him very much. I guess I should have followed a guide but I wish the results were more responsive to the player's preference. Replaying in chapter select is anticlimactic.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this game but this is one of the things I would change.

? Unless you skipped side quests, it’s pretty easy to keep everyone on the same level for the most part.

I didn't skip anything that I was aware of but I did not know the best answers for the interactions because I wasn't following a strategy guide. For all I know, my other characters could have been one proper response away from turning light blue.

The relationship system would have been better if you could steer towards your preference without having to look up proper responses or having to purposely avoid synergies/quests.
There should have been more choices like the one where you have to chose which party to fight with at the beach or the minecart route for Barret or Yuffie. That is a more intuitive way to decide.

Not really, the issue is there is no real metric to follow in terms of who is ahead. Otherwise it’s as easy to pick a response and check the score. Imo a systems that’s basic and uninteresting as a whole.
