She is the perfect woman, cute face, sexy body and a caring attitude. Her only flaw is that she is not real.

I hate when people reduce her popularity to her sex appeal... she has far more depth and relevance than any FF character in the series.

"Her flaws and strifes she faces..." I see what you did there

Definitely not shallow🙋🏽‍♀️. I’m a straight woman, so her looks never mattered to me. Tifa has always been my favorite since I was a kid. I just always related to her. She’s a great character, definitely one of the best.

In Rebirth she’s almost single handedly keeping Cloud from falling completely apart mentally by her constant support. She’s a superb character and probably the best possible friend you could ask for

Man, i love Tifa so much. Whenever i tell people she's my favorite video game character of all time they tell me its cause of her looks right? Then i show them her OG Polygon design and say this is the Tifa i fell in love with. lol. Its her looks sure, naturally that's what most people gravitate too at first, but then you get to know her personlity, and her significance to the overall story. She's amazing.

She is legit the hero of the game. You can trace all the plot motivations to her.

I truly feel that Tifa is not only my favorite Final Fantasy character, but my favorite video game character of all time. All of the reasons provided in this video were spot-on for me. Tifa is beautiful, sexy, caring, selfless, kind and full of heart. ***Spoiler Warning. Stop now if you haven't played FF7..... The paramount reason why I love Tifa is because she is such a good friend to Cloud. It's obvious that Tifa loves Cloud - I think that she is fully in love with him and it shows more as the game progresses, at least in the Ps1 FF7. The way that she doesn't correct Cloud when he talks about his memories of he and Tifa, especially their childhood memories...it speaks volumes to her sweet and selfless disposition. She sees that her friend is not well physically, emotionally and mentally, but she doesn't point out when he is wrong or give him grief. She is simply there to check on him and to ask if he is okay. Yes, she relies a lot on Cloud, at first, but we later come to find out that she asked Cloud to work with Avalanche in order to keep a close watch on him. She keeps all of her questions and concerns to herself - likely because there is already enough around her to cause both of them enough emotional turmoil. I feel she doesn't correct Cloud's memory of the past both because she doesn't want to hurt him further and also because she is afraid that those conversations are too devastating to her psyche to allow herself to consider them. It's a bit of vulnerability through strength and courage. Wow, that was a diary of a comment. I sure love an underdog story and I love this game!!!

Tifa is amazing, I've always loved Garnet and Zidane, but honestly, Tifa and Cloud are probably the best FF couple. Their story and what they mean to each other is just *cheffs kiss.

I always found Tifa to be one of the most beautiful characters in all of fiction. Not only did i have a massive crush on her as a kid... She was beautiful written, femine, friendly, polite, caring and knew how to kick ass. I found her bond with Cloud to be very much organic and well written, although i wouldn't say they have an active romantic relationship like Squall & Rinoa, or Tidus & Yuna as romance really wasn't st the heart of the original FF7. I still found it to be a beautiful bond that was well thought out and something beautifully crafted. I'll always love Tifa, and she'll always be one of my favourite characters in all of fiction. Her only flaw is that she's not real, but she's too good for reality.

Saying Tifa fans only like her because of looks (basically calling them simps) is like saying people only like Princess Leia or Black Widow because of looks. Tifa is my favorite Final Fantasy character too.

Cloud and Tifa should get their true happy ending at the end of the trilogy. They deserve to be together.

Great piece! I've seen many people criticize Tifa for lying to Cloud (or not telling him he wasn't there in Nibelheim), but i always thought she doubted herself. One, Sephiroth stabbed her and she was in a coma after that, so, murky memories. Two: Cloud recounts the incident 100% how it happened (because he was actually there but hid from her). If someone recounted to me events to a T while ibm though they weren't there, then I would doubt my own memories too. In OG FFVII, Tifa learns to finallly speak up and express herself. She finally tells Cloud he "wasn't there", but mostly she finally shares her feelings. Great character as you say. In truth, all characters are superbly written in FFVII, but I would say Remake made Barrett my MVP. Aerith is also super loveable, but her "Choses One" status makes her less relatable (although tifa/aerith friendship is one of my favorite aspect of the Remake)

Very good description of her character. Just a thing, when it is say that aerith support her with positivity and tifa take care of her, she also support her with positivity. The thing is that in that long train graveyard section tifa faces what it could possible be the same tragic again, to loose everything, every people she knew and made friends with, her house, marlene, her new "hometown". This affects her in a more personal level than aerith so is natural that she will be sometimes filled with troublesome thoughts, but even there when aerith get lost in a bad memory and start to cry, it is tifa who gives her words of encouragement and extend a had to her with a smile and it is the same when the party ends up in aeriths old bedroom in shinras facility, when aerith start to feel sad and talk about loosing parts of her, surrounded by whispers is tifa who pull her out and again with a smile and the words that they will find out another way. It bothers me a little that the attribute of being positive only belongs to aerith, this because, I see tifa as the only 100% human being in the story and if this story has to teach us something I'd like to be that you dont need a weapon in your arm, nor mako enhancement neither cetra blood to make it through, and even if things were, are, will be difficult you can still keep a good heart and go forward as human being. Tifa's positivity shines as much as aeriths.

She has been my favorite since I originally played OG over 20 years ago. She is relatable, strong, sensitive yet also flawed. In a world of supersoldiers, ancient mages, augmented powerful beings, she is the human one

I think we all need a Tifa in are lives.

Tifa reminds me of my mom ❤ She’s such a great, real and complex character ❤ i like aerith too but she doesn’t feel real to me, she feels like a fantasy (no pun intended) or a manic pixie girl

I love Tifa because she can be a mother, a sister, a friend, a lover.

Cloud would still have been a catatonic mess stuck in a wheelchair without Tifa's support.

I think people who assume that others like a character only for how they look tell a lot more about themselves with that comment than the person they’re commenting on LOL. We love well-written and engaging women in video games! This made me want to try FF, I’ve never played!

That was really well explained! This is the main reason why Tifa is one of my favorite characters, not just because that she is pretty which is the least important, it's just the way she was written and how well-thought out she was, not some lazily written Mary Sue like Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous Ladybug. Also the chemistry between her and Cloud is just perfect, which is a reason why I ship them together, they're perfect for each other. It's a crap shame that a lot of people shamelessly only look at her body and only care about it alone, than her actual character, and the connection that she has with real people. She truly feels like she is one of us even though she is only a fictional character. Also, I noticed this video is incredibly underrated, this DESERVES more views! Let's share this with as many people as we can! And you just earned yourself another subscriber Spyro! 😄

One of the best written character ever. Tifa❤

If you think about it, Tifa is actually the main character. Almost all of the plot points happen because of her actions or in relation to her. She’s the one who led Sephiroth to his true identity, Sephiroth destroyed her town, and then tried to brainwash her man.

It was her undying devotion to Cloud in the OG that won my heart. The scene of her breaking down when you find Cloud in Mideel is going to be heartbreaking in the remake.

What I always loved about Tifa was while her friends use all kinds of weapons to fight, Tifa just uses her fists. She will never hesitate to rush a 40 foot tall monster and punch it in the face repeatedly and I always thought that was one of the coolest things about her

THANK YOU. You bring back this characters dignity when the whole world just sees her as mere fanservice. It pains me to no end watching brilliant characters like her or Pyra and Mythra be treated like there’s nothing to them aside of their looks. This is much more than a video. It’s a love letter to the true meaning of the word beauty.

I like Tifa too. Not just her beauty, but her personality and her story. If it wasn't for Tifa and, of course, the others (mostly Tifa) Cloud wouldn't regain his true memories, and Cloud wouldn't be able to fight Sephiroth in one on one final match

Honestly, I wasn't sure if to watch this video before, cause I didn't want to get spoiled, but I'm glad I did. From your descriptions alone, I can definitely see why Tifa is a favorite among many players. Hopefully I'm able to give FFVII or FFVII Remake a try and experience for myself the intricancies of these characters and more.

I feel like most people assume people like her for her looks. Maybe at first but its her personality i think that most people fall for eventually. Shes withheld and polite and wants love and security. Its pretty evident. Shes the most real character to me. She feels things out and is never quite sure so she dont say much. People say vincent is quiet. Tifa nearly is as quiet. And when she speaks it has gravity cause its not often she shows her feels.

Your style and writing has been improving a lot. This is a big step up from your past work, which was already very good. I'm excited to see you hone your craft even further.

The whole sequence inside Cloud's memories cements her as one of the best female characters in Final Fantasy alongside Yuna, and one of the best female characters of all fiction. Not just that, but the segments before where she functions as the team leader showcase how emotionally strong she is, while still dealing with some tremendous pain inside.

she has the best combat. I get chills when she uses starshower. that speed and kicking the air in mid air faster than the eye can see.

Tifa isn't just waifu material. She is THE waifu. The ultimate one. She goes to unspeakable lengths and endures incredible pressure and pain in order to support the man that she loves and everyone else around them in the exact way that they need. Tifa is incredibly strong, not just physical, but much more emotionally. She is a beacon of light for everyone else to rely on. She's upholding positivity in the face of absolute terror and darkness. Tifa is 130% selfless. She never asks anyone for help but always provides help to everyone, without expecting the same from them. She always hides her true feelings in order to not drag anyone else around her down, but sometimes, she lets it shine through. Just a little bit, so people know she is for real and not just a perfect human being roboter. People like her are bound to succeed in life, no matter what the circumstances and are probably already taken at an early age. :/ She's the kind of person I'd need in my life, but never got. I'm almost 31 now. I was strong enough to survive on my own but the damage is already done and will never fully heal. My Depression was extremely harsh and long and almost got me dead on multiple occasions. Wouldn't have happened with a Tifa on my side.

can't wait till you do a video on remake tifa

Absolutely 100% agree and thank you for focusing on more than just her looks. She has fans because of her character, and personality. She is tough, caring, intelligent, and an all around good person making her a phenomenal woman. Her being hot is fanservice. The combo makes her the perfect woman.

Absolutely great video, thanks for the content! So nice to see a video about tifa about her personality and the character itself

nice and thorough analysis! you should continue this analysis with a chunk of things from Rebirth . Sincerely cloti since 1997

Tifa is my favorite character. 😍

Very well put together video! Nicely done! 👍 Tifa has been one of my all time favorite characters since I was a kid 😊

Brilliant video once again, praise the saviour TIFA!!! can't wait to see more of your videos

Tifa has such a motherly presence to her, she keeps the group together, she fights for them, and cares for all of them. Yes she’s beautiful but her personality is perfect and just one of the best written characters in the game

Knew you were working on soemthing big! Let's go 🔥

Definitely subscribing. I love this video and agree with everything in it. The quality of the writing is also awesome! Keep it up!!

Nicely told Video! Thank you!

Great analysis breakdown! 👍🏻

Thanks so much for this.

I really like your analysis, your video, and your voice, so I subscribed!

All the girls in FF7 are so pushy and force/drag Cloud to go to places or do things he doesn't want to do, I love Tifa because she never does that, she's careful and really patient with Cloud, and Cloud seems to like that because *spoilers* she's the only one he kisses in Rebirth ❤

The way I see it is Tifa's physical beauty is like the icing on a cake or the wrapping paper on a gift box: The outer shell that conceals the actual goodness within. I would argue she's gone through more than even Cloud at this point, despite both having to endure the Nibelheim massacre and the Sector 7 Plate collapse. She lost her mom due to illness even prior to Nibelheim's destruction, and almost died herself even before that fateful day. And THEN Nibelheim happened. Then Traces of Two Pasts gets released, and we get to find out more about her early days in Midgar, as well as the surgery that repaired her after Nibelheim. And then Rebirth added yet MORE stuff! Like... Square, please. Stop making this poor girl suffer. I wanna give her such a big hug. She deserves it for being so patient and kind for so long. If I were her, I'd have lost my freaking mind.

I really love how you presented this whole video and I agree with everything said 100%.

Been a Tifa fan girl since I was 11, loved her personality ❤

You like Tifa because she’s hot, I like Tifa because she’s a great character. We are not the same

Good video!

You just keep on hitting us with some great script writing man, bravo🎉

Whatever people says about tifa, I will always choose her and defend her! She is the most beautiful, pretty, kind, selfless, caring, empathetic and so-on character I ever saw. ❤❤❤ We also have the same birthday so I'm so very very into her ♥️🏃‍♀️My mother tifa

She is, indeed!☺️👍🏻👍🏻

she is the very example of what is called PERFECTION.

Tifa has always been my favorite FFVII charachter, and on my top 3 of FF characters overall. One thing that is almost never mentioned is the friendship between Aerith and Tifa. Sadly most of the times it is reduced to "love" rivals. However, in On a Way to a Smile, which are.the direct aftermath events of the game, you can finally notice all her pain and sorrow regarding loosing Aerith. Aertith was her best friend, and it always saddens me how she had to face and overcome that sadness on her own, being the strong pillar and understanding friend and motherly figurebfor everyone. So overlooked this part of her. So after reading OAWTAS, I really loved her even more. That's all I'll add since this explanation was 👌🏻🤌🏻

I love Tifa so much! 😍😍😍

Yes she's realistic... Grounded... Strong... She will be there when you need her.

Tifa is the best female character of all time.

Very well said

She’s so cutie I love her

My favorite Italian Senator

Anybody who thinks tifa is famous for her bobs either hasnt played the games or isnt paying attention. Tifas loved because shes lovable. She wants to be loved and secure and is to me the most relatable and realistic character in ff7. Other than maybe cloud? I relate to cloud cause?? I didnt know myself. And cloud doesnt either and he had find his true self with might i add... the help of tifa 🥰 shes wonderful. Clouds a lucky lucky man. Tifas looks 10/10 easily. Her personality 20/10 easily.

Tifa its actually my first love.. no real woman can compare.. so i dont compare.. no contest.. I do love woman w long dark hair.. but thats about it.. The body its just a bonus, Tifa´s smile its just enough.

Love her💜

Crushed it 👍🏻

Especially in the Remake, her altruistic, empathetic, motherly side comes through. She only became an eco-terrorist because Shinra figuratively and literally took almost everything from her and people she cares about multiple times. She would do anything for the one's she loves, including sacrifice her life. That makes her equal best girl to Aerith.

I absolutely love Tifa she's beautiful inside and out. Not to mention a badass.

I like her and Aqua(Kingdom Heart)characters ! Characters that need work are Lightning(Final Fantasy), Pit(Kid icarus Uprising) and Corrin(Fire Emblem)!

Tifa's BEST girl, no doubt!

Tifa is part of my holy trinity of characters. i have Tifa, strong but sweet and caring like no one else. Sol Badguy which is a reverse Tifa, he is powerfull and act though but hide the fact that he is the most caring and emotionally damaged in the game. And... Daniel from the french movie taxi... one of the most realistic french character even written i swear.

Tifa Lockhart is absolutely my favorite character in FF7 and she's very relatable when it comes to her writing, personality and designs. And of course "love" is the only word that you can describe easily and Tifa is the perfect example that can be descirbed as a lovable fictional character. Most of all, Tifa Lockhart is 100% popular due to her fighting styles, beauty and sex appeal.

Tifa is without a doubt the girl I want and dream about!

Tifa is the GOAT of ff7

Yes! Not just a looker.

Rebirth expanded on every single character in a positive way but MY GOD did they COOK with cloud tifa barret and sephiroth holy shit.

Dont ban me for being vulgur 😂 but im 2000% convinced tifa coulda been A cup and been just as popular. People who think otherwise have not played the game. Shes loved almost entirely on personality alone. She is so sweet and so realisticly portrayed and lovable. I almost feel like they made her attractive on purpose just to throw people off. Like a red hearing or like a trick. I also think those fighting to make sure she dont get... nerfed. I think its far farrrr more to do with people loving tifa as a character. Thats a part of who she is even if its not a big part... i mean not a big part of her personailty 🤣 im sorry im joking and trying to be serious at the same time lol. She could be faceless and not even be able to be seen and i think people would fall for her. Honestly. Go play ff7 she is like so well written.

Tifas the best woman ever. She a good woman 🥰 clouds lucky af lol. And she deserves to be loved and secure! Get on that cloud jeeeeze.

Tifa’s big fan service, undeniabl. & tat’s how I came to look in 1st place. But those who think tat’s all to her person, after seein her character play out, r truly the shallow 1s

My face character in the series and squall is a close second!

SFW Tifa stans >>>>>

She is the Goat

I love Tifa. I hope they continue exploring her trauma with Sephiroth as well in rebirth. I think why Cloud and Tifa work well with people is because they are both damaged people who went through the same accident and found themselves years later and I’m not denying cloud doesn’t have great love for Aerith lots of people ship him with her and I found her an incredibly well balanced character too with the trauma of losing her mother to Shinra and growing up because she thought she was alone in terms of being the last Cetra. I just think if what cloud and Tifa don’t have is romantic love they have a balance of living with that scarred trauma of what happened in Nibelheim and being survivors themselves of what that terrible man did. I hope rebirth explores this more. Tifa and Cloud sharing their trauma and find out the truth is what will most likely be as interesting as it was in the original game but in the context of this remake it can be more emotional with the voice acting talents who are so incredible at their jobs.

I've played the og in my early twenties Honestly I couldn't connect much with cloud, was only slightly surprised when aerith died. I actually liked TIFA, red, barret more. Yuffie as the comic relief but sometimes a bit annoying. But TIFA stuck with me because she was unusual, strong, physical character yet undeniably female. I couldn't tell how they looked but Advent children finally showed what the devs were going for. Cloud's too androgynous. i liked how Barrets a good looking black guy, an astonishing physical specimen, aerith too little screen time, Vincent is really cool. Yuffie is such a pretty, lovable pest. TIFA looked a bit mannequinish BUT I could see what they wanted her to be. I was just disappointed how the movie was about cloud mostly when I wanted the whole group to shine. TIFA looked great even in action but why weaken her and the team. she had this cool iconic moment. But I'm so annoyed loz used electricity on her 3x. Plot armor. Clearly shows Devs liked cloud

I’m having a girl. we will name her Tifa. Tifa is my role model strong, beautiful, lucky, loved by everyone, wise, kind, and have dignity she is not like other girl who constantly flirting cloud. hopefully my girl will grow like her.

Im a girl and i have a crush on her lmao. She is one of the most relatable character in the game.

I wonder if the kiss will be canon in the last game, would be mindblowing

Team Tifa

Real depiction of a real woman. Feminine, but incredibly strong spirit.

Top 10 reasons why Tifa is better than Aerith. Number one: Tifa doesn't fucken DIE.

She kind and pretty knows how to kiss she understood cloud better than any one

Wait till her character in ff7 rebirth

I like Tifa for her design and the fact that her character is well written makes it even better

Tifa is pretty and smart :)

Tifa had more development in the original than Aerith tbh. I think it's the music and the cutscene, also Crisis Core, so Aerith had more popularity or huger impression thus in the remake they prolonged the journey with Aerith and more interactions. Conversely, little Tifa plot in the remake by now.

I NEVER admired Tifa because she was hot even back in 1997. there are plenty of hot women in video games. Tifa is A GOOD PERSON and she stuck by her friends til the bitter end. She exhibits motherly traits, and is empathic. EVERYTHING A GOOD WOMAN SHOULD BE. Tifa is awesome. I even remember back when I was young and being like "This dude has a sword, this dude has a machine gun for an arm, this chick is just fighting with her bare hands!?!?!?!?!"

Hard to belive some people think Aerith was the one for Cloud. Those people clearly don't get the story. Aerith is on the cheer team, but Tifa is in the bleachers.

Ur gonna have to update this video since rebirth is out
