Sapphire Weapon came specifically for saving Tifa. No way was the planet going to sit by and watch best girl be executed

Man, you wanna see what Tifa means to fans? Listen to the cheer she gets when they show her for the first time on the E3 trailer. And a few moments later when they show her fighting.

Tifa: *falls into lifestream* Aerith: “you’re my living legacy”

Tifa's Monologue was in the life-stream. She put Cloud back together.

I remember when I was 5, watching my older brother play FF7, I remember thinking how cool Tifa was. You had some dude with a sword bigger than himself, a man with a machine gun arm, and then there’s this chick who’s all “screw that, all I need is mah fists” I remember begging my parents to let me take karate just so I could learn how to fight like her. Never learned Final Heaven though....

*Greatly contradicts her fighting style* Tifa, all the time: "Oh, it's nothing, hahahah...." Tifa, also all the time: "FALCON... PUAUAUAUAUAAAANNNNNCHHHH!!!"

Pretty sure she was the first female character I ever fell head over heels for. When I was maybe 5 or 6, When me and my neighborhood friends would play pretend wars, or pretend fighting, it was always to rescue Tifa. Or the winner would get to go on a pretend "date" with Tifa. (>ლ)

I am very thankful for this video. I think Tifa is a much, much more complex character than for which she is given credit. The fact that she knows what really happened in Nibelheim, but knowingly goes along with Cloud’s neurosis because she knows he is fragile psychologically, emphasizes her caretaker role. I hope you do more videos like this; I enjoy this far more than the various mods, personally. I watch all of these review videos multiple times. I have loved the in-depth videos for a long time, it's what brought me to your channel!

The way the overworld theme swells when Cloud takes off the ShinRa grunt helmet Moments like that are what made FF7 timeless.

"Her true power is in the two other weapons she weilds" ...

Also, Tifa's "God's Hand" is one of the few weapons that has 255% accuracy, meaning that if it's equipped, Deathblow will almost always hit, giving Tifa a great option for dealing guaranteed critical hits without having to worry about status ailments.

15:24 Hold up. A short scene implying that Cloud and Tifa had sex is too extreme but a brothel, BDSM dungeon, walking through a total bloodbath in Shinra HQ and a giant snake impaled on a tree isn't???

HEY! Sapphire WEAPON is self-conscious about the size of his beams you know!

That music is so soothing, it really goes well for her character

The poster girl for any prepubescent boy back in the late 90s, next to Lara Croft. Awesome job, Death. You did an amazing job piecing together my second favorite Final Fantasy VII character.

Tifa gets the deserved close up analysis. Great job.

"floatation device" I mean why did the party even bother getting the tiny broco, they could have just used Tifa.

It's even more amazing when we realize that Tifa was actually a later addition to the cast. When FFVII was first revealed, promo art didn't even have her included (only Cloud, Aerith, and Barret). The decision to create Tifa was made only when it was decided that Aerith would be killed off. Talk about striking gold during later-stage development; now she's arguably more popular than pretty much everyone else in the cast!

Best girl that’s what she is

Great video man. Tifa is my favorite female character in all media. Her kindness, gentleness, strength and loyality are worthy of true respect. Thanks for making this video.

I always believed that since WEAPONs were created by the planet to protect it, that the only reason Sapphire attacked Junon was specifically to free Tifa and the others. Aerith was part of the planet at that point, so perhaps she was able to influence it just that little bit to help them out since they're the planets only hope.

Bro. Being a HUGE FF7 fan myself you are a god to me. I won’t get into the details about how this game shaped my childhood and holds a place in my heart forever but your videos are amazing. Keep it up. Don’t change a thing. ✌🏻

Been waiting for this one for a damn long time. My girl, Tifa getting the in-depth! Best character in the series

My favorite Tifa quote: "Dilly dally shilly shally"

I feel like, ever since FF7, I keep playing other entries in the series, searching for Tifa. I do believe that she, singlehandedly, is the reason why I got into JRPGs at all. Of course, the first time I played FF7 I was very young and didn't really understand what was going on, but you do feel the story all the same. She is such a complex character, something so unprecedented to me at the time, that my interest for her and her story cemented my love for this game. Now, with the remake, is like living that complexity with some additional strength. I had a knot in my throat the whole playthrough, because it is something oddly beautiful and emotional seeing all the scenes you pictured in your head unfold with acting and voice performance. Truly something else. I would like to thank you for this content, man. This video made me feel some nice things :)

I really laughed at the bit where you put Kitase through google and stuck with their translation. That was great.

The first time I saw Tifa I really didn't like her. I immediately saw her as the typical scantily clad, Japanese female character from every rpg and anime. I barely used her throughout the entire first half of the game. However, as the story progressed I found myself liking her more and more. She genuinely seemed to care about everyone despite being a huge introvert. The scene at the northern crater with Cloud is one of my favourite scenes in any game ever. There's none of the soppy teenage romance that we saw in later games in the series, instead it's just two people faced with probable death who finally struggle to tell each other their feelings. Love stories like this resonate a lot more with me because they feel more grounded in reality. By the end of the game Tifa had become my favourite ff7 character and one of my favourite characters of all time. Stellar video, but... did you really have to acknowledge that WoFF exists death?

You forgot in design Nomura originally had 2 designs for Tifa one with a pair of pants and one which she became with a skirt, he left it up to the Square team for which they preferred.

Can't wait for the slap scene in the remake

Keep it up dude been watching your old materia combo videos just to feel right at home. Glad your back!

I definitely hope they keep the implied scene of her and Cloud boning in the remake.

Thank you for this analysis of my favorite character! She's so much more than what she's known for!

0:01 that's me at the top! Sweeeet

Thank you so much for making this! Tifa has always been and will always be my ultimate favourite ❤ I can relate so much to her.

Thanks for the in depth. Tifa is a wonderful character.

Perfect thing to pop up in my feed right before a long bus ride!

Yes! I've been waiting for this! Amazing video as always, Death

Great idea! Great Channel!! I dont know how or why I stumbled across your youtube page. but I am so thankful that I did, and for you to do these videos.

Literally have your monomod playthrough paused on my TV because I saw this pop up on my phone. Love it, I still randomly watch your intro in Cid's because I laugh so hard every time it plays.

I'm very impressed to say the least we are still getting in depth video from the ff7 character even though the remake is already out and the game is 23 years old Truly a work for future generations

This was amazing. learned something new about one of my favorites characters of the series. Cant wait to see more of these.

My god, dude. I'm really enjoying your in-depths.

I just want to say that I think you did a great job with this video. I was initially just happy to see you doing an in-depth guide of one of my favorite characters. I saved watching this until now so I could savor it. You did the character justice, describing her from all angles, and fairly. This makes my night.

Oh wow, when her theme started, my PS1 days came back instantly, thanks for the video 😊

Amazing video brother. Congrats for the 40k !!!!

Tifa's theme is the one track from the OST that really brings the nostalgia back for me

Awesome these are here! Keep up the great work

Another amazing vid Death! keep them coming! :)

Great job! Amazing video as always, Death. Keep it up!

Such a great video, it's great to see that this will be a proper series now.

Yay! In depth is back! I was hoping the collection would keep going.

First I was so hyped about this video, then you said there series is making a huge comeback, couldn't be more excited!

Death, these videos are nothing short of fantastic. As my favourite game, there's nothing better than watching in-depth analytical material on specific aspects of the game -- crazy that we are still learning new things 21 years after release! Have you ever thought of doing a mechanics video? One that takes you through, step-by-step, the stats, how damage is calculated, how steals are made, various magic and ability mechanics, etc.. It's a video idea I've had in the back of my head for some years now. I must have read all three of TFergusson's FFVII GameFAQs mechanics guides -- Battle Mechanics, Party Mechanics, and Enemy Mechanics -- a good half a dozen each now, especially the stat heavy ones, as I'm a nerd for RPG statistics. Who knows, may get around to it one day. Would love to do one for each of the Final Fantasys actually, as some of them have very interesting ways of calculating damage, and calculating how stealing items is made possible. Again, keep up the fantastic work, Death. Xx A loyal fan from Scotland :-)

great job, actually gave me insight to aeris' actions post death... thanks. love the example of tifa's limit break.:)

Hell yeah, about time. Tifa is also my favorite character so this is a treat!

Watched all of the videos and totally forgot about this one. I waited so long i guess i just forgot about it. Great video as always

Nice I can't wait for more of these episodes :)

I always name tifa after my love interest on the moment. I buy ff7 a days ago on steam, she have my wife's name.

Big fan. Thanks for all of the great content.

I love your channel! I need to catch a live stream very soon. Love what you do with the ff7 challenges and mods! Your channel is such a feel good and nostalgic channel. I want Barrett next! Oh and PS I never skip the ads. True fan over here lol 😝

Really interesting video. Keep up the great work!

Been waiting ages for the next in depth

Yesss!!!!! Thank you for making this video

Thanks for the video death, great as always!

I love this channel. Thank you man.

This must be the most to the point, cold hard fact break-down of the game's love line I've seen! Great video overall!

Im so obsessed with this game right now, and learning all of it. Where did games like this go everything about it is so beautiful it really touches my soul. This video just blew my mind dude thank you

damn that was in depth alright! thanks for the awesome content.

I admire you Death, you went through this entire video without making a joke about Tifa's bust size. If that was me, I'd have failed within 5 minutes.

Love it, definitely a patron now!

As a kid I always thought that Tifa having slot machine styled limit breaks tied in to the “Slot machine” in her bar, before remembering it was a pinball machine and feeling stupid.

Omg... I watched advent children like literaly 50 times, but always in Russian or English dub. And I always thought that in that moment tifa said "going up?", like in a retorical joking maner....

This. This is exactly what I was after. So happy this series is back!

10:00 - That is one thing I've never understood about the plot, so thanks for clearing that up for me Death

Fine work, Death. Thank you! I especially love 19:27. For me, this is worlds colliding. It's your tutorial and showing another FFVII streamer I enjoy: Carnage64! This is like Batman & Superman teaming up! It's the little things for me. I'm lobbying for you and him to combine forces and make a complete analysis or "making of" of the game! Should be an easy couple-hour project :)

Hype for more in depth videos!

My waifu to this day...TO THIS DAY.

Just signed on as a patreon supporter. I think I am overdue on this, as I have enjoyed your content for awhile. I love your In Depth work, especially this video to which I return frequently because it is well done. I also wanted to offer my praise of your Cait Sith video (I love FF7 lore, more than gameplay, and parsing what the heck IS Caith Sith / Reeve was great!).

Awesome video death ! My favorite chatacter in the whole final fantasy world, and i didn't know half of the history, keep up the good work!! Can i suggest Elena for next in depth chapter? Sick intro btw

When i saw this i started weeping with joy thank you!!!!

Tifa will always be my favorite waifu! 💗😃

so glad ive found your work

Great channel bro.

In depth reno! Cool video death, good stuff

This is the best ever in depth thank you.

Death really love the in depth videos for the ff7 you explained in such detail that its easy to follow

Love the passion you have for this game! Trumps even my own love for it along with many many others. One thing I do seem to be on my own with tho when it comes to the “original” story ( because the original story has been adapted an expanded more than once ) is the cloud you play in the game isn’t the cloud that tifa knew from childhood.. the original cloud dies while fighting sephiroth. He is a clone and no one likes the fact of it even though if you really listen to the game it tells you. No one from shinra would arrive at nibleheim to save clouds life for well... at least until reports got back of what happened and another squad dispatched to find out, if you can even remember having to travel in a convoy with sephiroth to get to nibelhiem then you can probably guess help ain’t coming quick enough. Unless of course you believe he survived for a few days after having his chest rammed through ( which by the way kills aerith almost instantly when the same thing happens to her ) and then also believe that 5 years disappear like nothing in the events that unfold in the “last order” anime. The fact he is a clone doesn’t go down well an I think square decided to squash that idea when people loved the fairytail ending. Personally i think it improves the storyline filling in a lot of plot holes an janky storytelling but I can’t be the only person that has played this game that can appreciate and accept it can I?

Rachel Leigh Cook is my ultimate girl crush…. I didn’t know she voiced Tifa though. Mind kind of blown now. Made me like Tifa just a *little* bit more.

HOLY **** A NEW VIDEO IM WATCHING THIS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM TAKING THE KIDS OUT TRICK R TREATING

Nice video Death keep them coming.

What a great video dude

Awesome video!!!!!!!! Lots of good info

This video was freaking awesome so much insight that I didn't know or was to young to understand properly. It's been a very long time since I played the Original FFVII game, makes me want to pick the again even-though the remake is already out.

I am surprised you didn't mention her being a playable fighter in Erhgeiz; God Bless the Ring.

Been playing this game on and off since 98 and just now realized that Tifa is what Clouds mom suggested he marry. She becomes a caretaker to his fragile/fractured mind and even guides him back to his true self. Didn't catch if she was older though. Makes me like her even more :)

Yaaaaay This was cool death you are awesome!!!!!

Good stuff man

This is the best surprise!! Tifa is my favorite. The only thing that would make this day better is if you brought back the full Final Fantasy play through :P

Very well done deep dive 👍

Ah tifa!! Every actual female gamers aspiration to be and every female cosplayers starting character to cosplay as.
