Tifa's Design: Has It Gotten Better?

[Unlucky]

^This artwork shows pretty much how a real Tifa looks in my head. Save for the eye color.

 

[Alex Strife]

A bit darker, and her eye color would be spot on

I like how they made Tifa's eyes moar of a maroon color in 012, as if they were trying to compromise between red and brown. I personally think brown is a boring eye color. And I like how they gave Tifa's eyes a red color in the original game despite her not being even remotely evil .

Indeed. She had already expressed her feelings towards Cloud two years prior, as did he regarding his feelings for her. And the main reason it took her so long to express her feelings towards Cloud is that it wasn't until 5-6 years after developing feelings for him until she saw him again and actually knew that it was him. After that she just had to work up some courage.

I completely forgot the highwind scene, but seeing ACC It doesn' t help you make up your mind. Those two don' t seem to be a couple in love to each other.

That's because the Geostigma had recently screwed up Cloud's logic and made him think he needed to be away from Tifa and the kids to protect them. Read Case of Tifa, they seem coupleish in that.

Keep in mind we're looking in on their lives for a few hours at the peak of crisis -- both personal and interpersonal. As well as mortal.

It's not the time to look for mushy scenes. If you want to see a bit of that, read/listen to Case of Tifa.

Didn' t know that, a must read then. Thanks.

You're Welcome.

I think her appearance in Dissidia (especially the CG render) is the best, though I was a fan of her look in Ehrgeiz (the artwork, not her render). The Advent Children one was beautiful, but she didn't really feel like "Tifa" to me. But then again, I suppose she grew up a bit and figured that a Mommy figure probably shouldn't run around in miniskirts anymore, so I can appreciate the new look. Still sexy but a little more grown up. Nevertheless, I'll always be a fan of her FF7 look, so for me the Dissidia render is my favorite.

The best Tifa design, you ask...?

For sure it's from the animations of the original game (and menu screen)! I really can't understand this somewhat cowardly attitude resizing her boobs and all. I mean, if somebody has big boobs what is the problem? We have to think what kind of an image we are trying to give our children! We should accept the people as they are or as they are born, not how the public at the moment happens to like it. God I loved Tifa only for her boobs and after I saw what they did to her, I just couldn't care less about her anymore. After that she was just another shy girl with fucking traumas. It's the same thing in real life: if somebody is full of shit, you at least tolerate him/her better if she/he looks good.

If you had to describe every person from the original game with just one word that first comes to your mind, how would it look like? I'm talking about characteristics or appearance. Well, I can do it right now.

Cloud - Cool
Barret - Big
Cid - Tabak
Aeris - Lovely
Yuffie - Bitch
Nanaki - Dog
Cait Sith - Cat
Vincent - Scary
Tifa - Boobs

Okay then, let's continue. Now we try a variant, one can only try to say the dominant characteristic of the character. Of course the first one that comes to mind. Ready?

Cloud - Strong
Barret - Badass
Cid - Motherfucker (in a good way)
Aeris - Unbelievable
Yuffie - Annoying
Nanaki - Deep
Cat Shit - a piece of catshit
Vincent - Emo
Tifa - Ehm, what? Main characteristic..... Can I say boobs?

See the point I'm trying to make?

PS. I should really stick to the one sentence answers.

 

[ASmilingMalice]

I'm sorry but I'd have to say if there was ever a dominate characteristic of Tifa's character, I'd say "Love" more than "Boobs." I think I get what you're trying to say but I think anybody who's ever played the game can attest that there is way more to her character than just her massive boobs, and a central, defining part of that character is definitely love. I don't think you're giving her a lot of credit with your post, but at the same time I have no idea if your post is meant to be sarcastic or serious.

In any case, I guess the only time I've ever had a problem with Tifa's boobs were when I could see her nipples in Advent Children. Kind of seemed really unnecessary, especially since she's wearing layers of clothing in that outfit.

 

[Octo]

^I dont think they were nipples, just the unfortunately placed seams of her leather/faux leather top

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah, if those were nipples she's got some reaally off center ones. ...they don't even look like nipples.

 

[ASmilingMalice]

Omg ,I could've sworn those were her nipples and now I see what you're talking about! Why the hell would they put her seams like that? Lol it's so awkward.

Spoiler

Think they might've done that on purpose?

 

[ForceStealer]

I...don't know. I honestly never thought about it. It never occurred to me that they looked like anything besides seams. Why else would a line go all the way down from them?

 

[AvecAloes]

To be honest, I think it has a lot to do with realism of the design - big boobs need more fabric to cover them, but in order to make the bottom half of her top form fitting, you must take in the fabric somewhere. Aesthetically speaking, making the seam go straight up and down probably looks the best

 

[Ghost X]

I think we're being a bit naive . Granted, I've seen seams like that before, but I think there is little doubt sex appeal was the motive for their placement in this regard.

*ahem*
Nipple accentuation!

 

[Unlucky]

Right after reading your poast I mistakenly read your sig as "Don't belittle my nipples, bitch."

OT: Not sure if they did it on purpose. But they did make her boobs jiggle in Dissidia, so.. I don't know.

Also, meh on Tifa's AC outfit. It's boring and doesn't flatter her at all.

 

[AvecAloes]

Really? Because I don't find seams sexy.

 

[ForceStealer]

How does that look like, or accentuate nipples? How many nipples have you seen that run down the entire length of her torso? Also the top of the seam seems higher than her nipple would, presumably, be.

And I love Tifa's OG outfit, she looks pretty badass...but I wouldn't really call it flattering either. Seems more functional than anything. AC's is too, it's just functional to her more boring profession these days.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Her OG outfit is nothing if not flattering. Boobs emphasized in a small, tight, white top; midriff exposed; kinky gloves; and easy access by way of a miniskirt. I honestly can't think of a more sexy outfit unless you give her some thigh-high stockings and some tall stilettos.

Her AC outfit is like most AC outfits: garbage.

EDIT: Slight correction. Schoolgirl outfits are hottest, but the OG attire is a worthy #2.

See the point I'm trying to make?

God, I hope not.

 

[ForceStealer]

Her boobs would be emphasized in a freakin burlap sack. My point was the outfit always struck me something more conducive to her kicking ass rather than being alluring or something. Not that being badass isn't sexy or anything, but that's different than being 'flattering', if that makes any sense.


And yeah I couldn't find a single word I could agree with in sirvival's post.

 

[AvecAloes]

^^ me either.

Cloud - Strong

Yeah, have to say, "strong" isn't the first word that comes to mind when I think "Cloud". He's a friggin mess in VII, dude.

 

[Unlucky]

I get you. But still, they could've given her an outfit that's both 'flattering' and practical for ass-kicking. Not saying that they should've given her something too revealing but they didn't really have to cover her up in all that crap. Idk I just find her clothes really dull and I totally hate the baggy shorts and pouch

And away with the goofy sneakers. She looks so much better in boots.

Yuffie - Annoying

He got this one right at least.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I like Yuffie
