FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

[SS2Link]

an FFIV collab,

I think Edge would def go to Yuffie--unfortunately my boy Zack (favorite character obv) misses out on a lot of these collabs but that's alright. They'll def wait until Cid is out for a FF4 collab cuz he's the obvious Kain parallel in my eyes.

Honestly I can see them making Tifa be Yang and just give her a vaguely similar hair style and covering of some sort so she's not...shirtless. But making her Rosa would be really nice, a better option for sure, so I hope they do that.

Well since Cecil has two iconic outfits, his Dark Knight and Paladin look, I could see them splitting those two designs between Zack and Cloud. I suppose the Dark Knight look would fit Cloud’s demeanor more. Though the Paladin outfit could fit thematically with Cloud rediscovering his true self.

The only way I could see them giving Edge’s outfit to Zack over Yuffie, is if they gave Aerith Rydia’s outfit and wanted to reference how Edge has a crush on Rydia (I believe it was more evident in the 3D remake of FFIV).

Dark Knight Cloud and Paladin Sephiroth would be a really interesting way to do that.

Personally, hoping we actually get a set of costumes inspired by Amano's ilustrations. Which I guess has already kinda been done in Dissidia, but would be really cool.

I’m in the group that’s pretty disappointed Tifa didn’t get Celes’s outfit. Sure, they don’t share the same job, but who cares? No one besides Tifa has been held to that rule

Cloud isn’t a thief, yet he’s received costumes for both Zidane and Locke.

Of course, it’s impossible to please everyone, and I understand that. Sabin’s a cool character too. But the real issue is that the outfit they gave Tifa is just plain ugly. It’s easily the least detailed of all the options, and even Angeal’s free outfit looks better.

Many artists have shown that with a few tweaks, her outfit could have looked 100% better.

The fact that she wasn’t given a heroine-themed outfit to balance with Aerith, plus the disappointing design, has really set off some of Tifa’s most passionate fans. Honestly, I’m actually glad there’s been a negative reaction, as it might reduce the chances she’s stuck with monk outfits in the future.

In a crossover with FFXVI, it would be incredibly frustrating if Tifa received Hugo’s outfit instead of Jill’s. Jill is practically Tifa 2.0, and missing that opportunity would be a huge letdown.

I agree that both of those were pretty weak, but Cloud doesn't really have a direct equivalent in IX or VI. And if people want to be shippers about it, Locke and Terra aren't the couple in VI so...there you go
And Tifa's IX outfit is far and away the best thing that's ever been done with Amarant.

And Hugo-Tifa would be insane. There's no way she doesn't get Jill, lol.

No. I wanted to see Tifa as an FF heroine, I knew it was literally the only collab where I'd get to see her as one. Now I won't ever see her as one.

I honestly just don't see why it matters that much for these kinda things. I personally could care less if things they get in collabs represent the opposite main characters or not in the hero and heroine roles. Hell Cloud got Locke who isn't even the protag of 6 in the first place.

I just enjoy seeing our beloved characters in some nice reference outfits with cool moves from said characters being brought in like this.

No one is gonna steal Tifas heroine position in FF7 itself regardless of what they wear in this gacha game.

All the other characters don't fit their archetype, only Tifa has to stick somehow. Let me tell you, if a rule applies to only one character, it's not a rule. It's bullshit talk to appease her fans.

The others do still maintain more or less restrictions on what they'll get even if it's less strict than just the monk picks for Tifa. You won't be seeing Aerith as a warrior like Auron or something for example. She's always gonna get the white mage/caster roles whatever those are i can guarantee you. Cloud won't be casting Holys or something as Lulu either.

Also another thing to take into account is the fact that they potentially just want to give Tifa the characters that offer her moves that make sense for a martial artist like her. I don't see Tifa doing Runic magic or whatever with her fists if she had gotten Celes here. In fact i feel like the actual kits might be more reflective of their picks than anything else at the end of the day. Tifa needs to punch and kick and sometimes shoot beams and the monks offer that best to her.

I just think this whole thing is way overblown for what it is. Tifas been treated extremely well in general in EC, considering she has the second most outfits with just 1 outfit less than Aerith, which already shows they know she's important at the very least, be it as the money maker, fan favourite or both.

That's my final piece on that i think couse i don't wanna keep this going further.

I love the outfit Tifa got from Amarant they did a great job with it. Which makes me even more frustrated, because the Sabin outfit they gave her has noticeably less care and detail.

Not... Cid?
But yes, the Highwind boys matching is the more obvious answer.

Honestly I can see them making Tifa be Yang and just give her a vaguely similar hair style and covering of some sort so she's not...shirtless. But making her Rosa would be really nice, a better option for sure, so I hope they do that.

If they give Tifa an FFIV monk inspired fit, give her his daughter Ursula. Her look would be amazing on Tifa.

Well since Cecil has two iconic outfits, his Dark Knight and Paladin look, I could see them splitting those two designs between Zack and Cloud. I suppose the Dark Knight look would fit Cloud’s demeanor more. Though the Paladin outfit could fit thematically with Cloud rediscovering his true self.

Or a design that combines the two thematically, somehow. One side dark one side light.

As an aside, that Cecil of all people has never cameo'd in a fucking Kingdom Hearts is goddamn criminal.

The only way I could see them giving Edge’s outfit to Zack over Yuffie, is if they gave Aerith Rydia’s outfit and wanted to reference how Edge has a crush on Rydia (I believe it was more evident in the 3D remake of FFIV).

It was pretty blatant way back when. Even as a babu playing the simplified translation it was obvious.
But he also fits Edge's general personality, but then again so does Yuffie, which is why it's a tossup.

I agree that both of those were pretty weak, but Cloud doesn't really have a direct equivalent in IX or VI. And if people want to be shippers about it, Locke and Terra aren't the couple in VI so...there you go

Ironically Cloud's closest personality match in IX is probably Amarant himself.
And I think Celes is actually a pretty good lore match for Cloud, with Kefka matching up a lot for Seph's lore, if not aesthetic.

And Tifa's IX outfit is far and away the best thing that's ever been done with Amarant.

This is true. He's done dirty by his own game.

And Hugo-Tifa would be insane. There's no way she doesn't get Jill, lol.

Yeah, if that collab happens they'd be insane not to give Tifa Jill. Give Hugo to Barret. Cid, naturally, goes to Cait Sith. : ba dum tish :

I honestly just don't see why it matters that much for these kinda things. I personally could care less if things they get in collabs represent the opposite main characters or not in the hero and heroine roles. Hell Cloud got Locke who isn't even the protag of 6 in the first place.

Everyone in VI is the protag of VI. That's sort of the point. It's extremely ensemble and almost everyone gets a chance at being the POV character for a bit.
