Tifa's Design: Has It Gotten Better?

[Marle]

Worst of all Tifa and Aeris come out looking very dull and ordinary.

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH. I thought I was the only one who noted this?

Aerith in the ending of CC was much better than the crap they pulled with her face in AC/C. Tifa was also made to seem plain and ordinary while in Dissidia she was just downright beautiful.

 

[Guts]

huh? The art style in Eva is VERY different from FFVII and rightly so.

It is quite a bit (though less of a jump than any other FF would be)...

I'll reconsider. But both were from the 90s, unashamedly. You can't walk off from FFVII's visuals and then watch Eva without them flowing freely between each other. The 90s just leaves this particular impression, artistically. Design sensibilities. You know.

But that aside I do still want beautiful HD visuals and an accurate use of present generation capabilities for any theoretical remake. And you can still do that in the style I propose, or keep the original feeling in any number of ways.

Love him though I might, if I see a pristine Midgar, completely free of visual turmoil as envisaged by Isamu Kamikokuryo and prissy Crisis Tech Children HD renders of the characters... I certainly won't feel like I'm swimming in familiarity or reliving my experience in HD.

Yeah, in the very end of CC Aerith looked beautiful, probably because she was actually showing some emotion on her face. Wasn't a fan of her in game model though. The worst I've seen Aerith is her Before Crisis Portrait - I mean what the fuck? Tifa looked pretty bad in that too.

(oddly enough I think Cissnei looked best in her BC portrait, I didn't like how she looked in Crisis Core)

Tifa looked her best in Dissidia imo, both in game and the artwork (uh...apart from the bowlegs :/)

DAMN YOU SE YOU INCONSITENT BASTARDS!

 

[Guts]

Dissidia (in game and 2D art) was a balance I could agree with too, even if it isn't my utter favourite option. Definitely a stronger link between their love of HD frilly moe teen bullshit and the original art than "I'm depressed for an hour and this now defines my public image."

I don't see this at all.

 

[Guts]

Strokes. I don't think you'd see either nowadays though.

 

[ForceStealer]

Wait wait...there was a bunch of shit when Dissida came out that they still got Tifa's eyes wrong, now they got it right?

bwehehehehe. I thought I was the only one thinking this, but it seems they're fine with it already. More like, they think her eyes aren't red enough like the original and I don't disagree.

And yeah, aside from the bouncing boobs, I do like Tifa's Dissidia design. She's gorgeous.

 

[Guts]

They ain't red enough. Pretty, though.

 

[Max Payne]

I dunno about anyone else but I'm still not satisfied with it.

 

[Theozilla]

Part of the reason I like the AC/C look better is that for me it just "flows" better and the separate parts of the design compliment each other well.

 

[Guts]

She looks like a Matrix character in KH2 with that outfit. I like how the clothes trail though when she fights, or kicks that wall. Kinda awesome.

I'm going to Phoenix Down this thread, since I feel liek it and I apparently have a reputation for it.
I think 012 is the highlight of Tifa's design. Jiggly boobies, boobies that are big yet still realistically sized, her smexy cowgirl outfit, it's got it all.

And to those who hate how jiggly Tifa's boobies are in 012: Fuck you. Next to zooming the camera into cowgirl Tifa's cleavage during camera edit mode to take pictures, Tifa's jiggly breasts are the best part of 012.

And to all you arguing over whether Tifa's AC or FFVII outfit is better: Tifa's CC outfit>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all her other outfits. It has cleavage, a bare midriff, a short skirt, etc. It's funny how through a few design changes what was originally one of her mar modest outfits is now her most revealing outfit yet.

I'm curious as to why Tifa's eyes are brown in AC when they're red in everything else. It seems so weird to make them one color then change it to another then change back.

P.S. You can also use camera edit mode in 012 to take picture of a few character's, including Tifa's, panties. Interesting, from the panties I've looked at, Tifa seems to be the only one with moar than just plain white panties. Her FFVII outfit has plain white panties, her CC outfit has lacy black panties with some sort of design on the front, and her DLC outfit has pink panties that could possibly be the (in)famous stretched panties Cloud steals from her drawers during the Nibelheim Incident.

The lacy pink panties in her DLC outfit interest me, if it is then it's a good easter egg. Gimme screenshot

Google it. I really don't feel like going through the effort of finding it again. It took me quite a while to find a screenshot of them. If only I had her DLC and a USB cable so I could take a good screenshot and poast it to the internetz. And I really want that USB cable so I can upload the current screenshots I have to the computer to make room for moar screenshots of Tifa's boobies and panties on my PSP, cause the folder is full right now. You can never have too many screenshots of Tifa's boobies. And I still need to take screenshots of Terra and Yuna's panties.

The changes to her cowgirl outfit are one of the most ridiculous things the compilation has brought us.

And that is saying a lot.

To make her look more like a Japanese gal. Instead of the Texas sign having cowboy hat wearing girl she was in the original. It's the same reason her hair is darker.

2.I thought the reason she looked asian in AC was cause they used motion capture actors or something like that. And I always figured her hair was darker in Ac was because they couldn't make it that dark in the original game due to palette limitations. In her Nomura artwork it's as dark as it is in AC.

They still have to make a CG model, nothing about the motion-capture actors were particularly 'asian' unless you count all the fucking bowing everyone was always doing.

Also, Black is on most basic colour palettes.

 

[ForceStealer]

....were people bowing in AC? I don't remember.

Her hair isn't black in AC, it's a very dark brown that is almost black. Like my dad has.

 

[Unlucky]

I'm probably alone in this but I don't think Tifa looks Asian in ACC. She looks Caucasian, just with dark hair and eye color.

 

[ForceStealer]

I think there are scenes in which she looks Asian and scenes in which she doesn't.

Maybe half-Asian?

 

[Unlucky]

Yeah, probably. Just not the generic Asian female.

I love how she slightly looks like her VA, though.

Spoiler: See

 

[Alex Strife]

Square said her looks on AC were loosely based on her original Japanese Voice actor. Funny that you would say that about the English one.

I'm not giving my opinion on whether she's similar to any of the VA's, don't misunderstand me.
