Britt Baron(Tifa's VA) mentioned her favorite scenes between Cloud & Tifa and some other scenes in a AMA:
Britt
h thank you that means a lot! So much care was given to that relationship and I loved the slow development over the course of the game. I love the scene where Cloud comforts and hugs Tifa because she really lets her guard down in front of him and gives herself the chance to be vulnerable in front of him. I also love the first bar scene where they meet again after so much time and he gives her the flower, there is so much left unsaid and Tifa is clearly nervous and putting on a front which I think everyone can relate to. The dynamics and differences between those two scenes were fun to play!
Britt: Thank you!! I loved that scene so much as well! Gosh it's hard to choose a favorite. I think I enjoyed the first bar scene with Cloud because that was one of the first things we recorded and where I really had fun playing around and establishing who Tifa is and where she sits in my vocal register. It's also such a sweet reunion with a lot of tension and there's so much unsaid which was fun to play. Tifa is clearly nervous and trying to keep everything light, and that is something I do in my own life.
Britt: I really love the scene where Cloud comforts Tifa, she's so vulnerable and frustrated and I could really relate to feeling like that in times of my life. I also love the moment on the train when she is pushing the passengers out to protect them, and the man says "But I work for Shinra" and Tifa responds "I don't care I don't want anyone else to die" and then turns around in a fighting stance with "My turn!" That moment for me completely captures who Tifa is, a kind hearted bad ass warrior. In today's world it's a reminder that no matter what political side you are on we can come together as humans who are more a like than we are different.
Britt: I hadn't played the original game and just looking at the characters I kind of first expected Tifa to be really forward, sexual, aggressive even, very confident. But in my audition and after doing research realized she is the opposite! Very kind and sweet, and almost shy despite the fact that she is an amazing fighter. I think I can be shy in certain instances like Tifa but I don't have a six pack and don't think I can so a single pull up so...there's that ha
Britt: Yes! Definitely much higher than characters I've done in other games, and pitched higher than punk rocker Justine. I wanted to honor what had already been established for Tifa. She is feminine, kind and soft spoken at times, I also think it makes her fighting skills even cooler because it's more unexpected coming out of this sweet character.
