Post characters that you don't see the big deal. I'll start she's slightly above average. Characterization is subpar. Her moves are overrated. Popularity based on teenage boys.
She’s better than Yuffie
>>12426107>Characterization is subpar.Is this what it takes to be a critic who is believed to know what he's talking aboutLet me tryThe thematic composition in regards to her narrative poignancy is mediocre.
>>12426113LMAO/thread
Link.
>>12426107>I don't understand the appeal of the childhood friend mother-wife who's outgoing and wears revealing clothing but is also shy and demure A mother wife who will take care for you but is sexually available and not a slut is a huge nerd boy fantasy. A lot of FF7 is remixing ideas from Evangelion, shaving off some of the rough edges and making them more appealing to nerd boys. Misato and Asuka get merged into Tifa. Tifa's actual design comes from the PC-98 game on top of that.

>>12426134>Tifa's actual design comes from the PC-98 game on top of that.What game/character?
>>12426107Dissing Tifa…Someone nuke this fool from orbit GDI style.
>>12426164>Can Can Bunny Extra Aoyama Misao. The red dressed bitch slap fight is also lifted from that. Probably just a design he liked. The Mother-wife stuff comes from Eva and Misato, with the relationship Shinji and Asuka has (without Asuka's bitchy personality). They both literally go into a go-world of spiritual eneryg to bond and get over their emotional problems too.
Rubi Malone from wet.
>>12426108Nah. I mean she might be a better party member and play a much larger role with a more fleshed out story in the original game but that doesn't necessarily mean she's better. Yeah, I know tifa has more pron but she's still not better than yuffie.
>>12426170Like a kia engine? I've got a joke at work where I refer to any GDI engine as a gosh danged injun. Idk but it makes the fellas rofl.
>>12426108I'd have both of them sit on my face at once
imagine going straight from 16 bit chibi sprites to THIS in the 90s before you had 24/7 porn access.
>>12426134>Misato mentioned in a Tifa thread. Love to see it. Long and skinny is a great body type, and they're smart and aggressive, but caring and introspective. My kinda character.
>>12427552Tifa takes some design and character inspiration from Misato, as the mommy-wife fits Nomura's concept of the ideal woman. A lot of FF7 is just rehashing and remixing elements from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and on release people didn't pick up on it. Eva didn't start broadcasting in USA until 2000, several years after FF7.It's a bit like how Golden Sonic was introduced in Sonic 2, but the entire concept is derived from DBZ. But DBZ was shown much later around 1998 in USA. https://www.ffdream.com/articles/31970-limpact-devangelion-sur-final-fantasy-vii
>>12426107I still remember this video
>>12427865I love those vii / eva to no end, but I don't think either inspired another. The buildup of technology resembling the 1900s IRL, humans' destruction of the planet, kaiju, and weird open endings are not unique to these in Japanese media.The end fmv for VII looks a lot like 3rd impact in EoE, and has an almost identical end premise, but VII actually came out months before EoE.People have said the whole saving the planet from a meteor ending is also similar to Gundam: Char's Counterattack ('88) among other things. I'm sure you could expound this and say Majora's Mask has a similar premise and psychedelic ending.
Tifa's outfit is based on Yuko Moriyama from the Zeiram movies. She wears the same white tank top and suspenders combo with a pair of pleather pants that get torn up and looking like a skirt or booty shorts by the end.
>>12427941It's clearly a blend of these two of Fujiko Mine's outfits from Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon ('85) which starts off in a bar in NYC, Midgar was originally intended to be NYC. FFIX was heavily inspired by Lupin, why not VII?I'm partially kidding, but there are a lot of things in this and other '85-'95 Lupin films that remind me of FFVII (I saw them much later) and the IX thing is true. This one has a Rufus-like and a pyramid temple resembling the temple of the ancients.Look at things long enough and you'll see patterns where they may be coincidences or long-forgotten trends.
>>12426108uwotm8? Yuffie is by far a better attacker in the game. Tifa is terrible.
>>12427990If you use speedrun strats Tifa is the strongest of all most of the time.I really like using Yuffie as a sort of critical dmg ADC. Double/4X cut, luck plus, deathblow, that sort of thing. The Sha-Shhwing sound when she lands a critical is sick.
>>12428003I don't do all that stuff. I hate Tifa's gayass limit break system, Yuffie with the Conformer and Morph is what makes her so kick ass.
>>12427884I still watch this video
>>12428017>Conformer and MorphIs that where you hang around in the Sunken Gelnika farming stat boosters?I've done that a long time ago, wasn't much fun but a good thing to do if you want to beat Emerald / Ruby without the absolute cheesiest of cheese strats.I don't do speedrun strats either, just felt like mentioning. My normal preferred team is -Cloud (tank w dmg)-Tifa (magic, healer, items, blue mag)-Yuffie (Crit, spd, dmg)I also hate Tifa's limit but the game is so easy and she's a woman lol.
>>12426107Slightly above average in the 90s would be a 11/10 today. Teenaged boys were the primary customer back then and that generation is the biggest spenders today. >>12427534Also this. There was not much choice back then. Even if you could get your hands on smut in the West, it was likely full of bolt-on bimbos.
>>12428032Yeah, I use it to Morph Ribbons. I use it in the Gelnika too when I'm bored. My favorite team is Yuffie Cloud and Cid. I don't use Barrett because he's a nigger.
Fun factoid: if you wait to get Yuffie during when Tifa is party leader (mid disc-2?) Yuffie refers to her as "boobs."
Literally every other girl is more interesting and attractive than her
>>12426107Waluigi is just a last minute add-on for a tennis game with no other qualities. He's no better of a character than Mouser>>12427971Do you think she's rocking a bush or do you think she keeps it clean?
>>12428073xD
>>12428104Sorry champ, fighting games don't have stories
>>12426107Tifa is one of the top 3 characters in the original FF7. Deathblow and added cut materia + curse ring with God's Hand is so good.
>>12426108WRONG
>>12426107>Imagine the smell when she would pop those boots off upon making camp after days of hiking through the wilderness battling monsters.
>>12426107her limit break is just a huge waste of time and makes me not want to use her
>>12426107>>12427534>>12427552>>12427884>>12429798Tifuta Cockhart?
>>12428026It's still hot as fuck
>>12428104she is second place only after lei fang. awful taste if you prefer the blonde bimbo whore or anime hair.
>>12428238sauce?
>>12429985yep, and thanks to remake we have some crazy high quality blender shit to enjoy along with it. the only good thing to come out of that project really.
>>12430030SGK
Horniness is powerful
Op is gay
>>12429912Super straight: the post
>>12426134>>12427865Since when was Tifa a mommywife? She's younger than Cloud.
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/734238518/OP must really hate Tifa.
>>12431846The initial characterization seems to be rough and independent. Then comes Disc 2 and she becomes Cloud's mommy and it's revealed her entire backstory is just to nurture cloud.
>>12431846The remake made her huskier
>>12428238>>12428239Filthy whore, She’s never getting my Materia.
>>12431895Muscle baehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD-Z4chQ-mQ
>>12431879>a woman helping a sick man is a mommyyou kids are fucked in the head
>>12431879Don't even try to find any "narrative coherence" out of that pornbait & obscene gag material which created out of Nomura's own fap material(s)>>>/v/734319469>>>/v/734340205https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/720119167/#720158848https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/732515134/#732525846whose entire "story" is a sloppy patchwork 90% of it was hastily done by a temporary side jobber who's unfamiliar with the rest 90% of the whole story in the last 2 months 1996.
>>12432452Yes I believe that all the expensive prerendered backgrounds and FMVs were designed for 2 months worth of erotica immediately prior to launch day.
>>12432471The whole project took about a year (began in Nov(latter half) or Dec1995), "solidified" in autumn 1996.And by "90% of her arc" I mean Masato Kato's sloppy work, the only FMV of it is dumcrush.avi and it's a cheap one which uses chibis.
>>12432452damn, all that and she still blows aeris out of the water. limitations are the best cure for incompetence.
>>12427929Lots of anime end with a magical explosion that somehow solves everyone's problems.
>>12427445Game which got 7/10 reviews at best and flopped. Can anything from it be overrated?
>>12430029Yes helena is objectively superior
>>12426107She's slightly above average. Characterization is subpar. Her moves are overrated. Popularity based on teenage boys.
>>12426134Man I got lucky in life to have my wife I was childhood friends with
>>12426107I see two big deals in Tifa.
>>12427445Not fucking retro
>>12427990Uh, bro? Your Powersoul?
>>12427865>https://www.ffdream.com/articles/31970-limpact-devangelion-sur-final-fantasy-viiI actually read all of this and while there are some neat coincidences its mostly very far-fetched and thin.
