Side-quests will help Cloud build up his affinity with allies
Are you ready for some Persona-style relationship building? Rebirth will apparently let Cloud build up his bonds with the crew through an affinity meter that increases after completing various side-quests corresponding to specific party members. It sounds kind of like BioWare companion missions, and the outcomes will impact who Cloud goes on a date with at the Gold Saucer. Whether the results will have any bigger story repercussions or affect behavior in combat remains to be seen.
