Different meetings will affect the difficulty of the upcoming parade throughout the three performances. The higher the difficulty, the better the reward and the higher your relationship level with Tifa and Aerith.

If you choose security guards throughout the entire series, you get the easiest parade scenes for all three performances. Difficulty levels will change in real time as you adjust the soldiers. So you can choose something more balanced. But the most challenging and rewarding squad consists of two grenadiers, two rebel soldiers, and a flame trooper.

The parade phase isn’t easy at all, especially considering you have to run around gathering your troops. While you may miss your chance to heal Your relationship with Tifa and Aerith If you don’t perform well the first time, you can always go back to the parade by selecting Chapter 4 from the chapter selection section after finishing the game.
