Final Fantasy VII Remake Famitsu Character Popularity Poll (Spoilers)
- Thread starter JEH
- Start date
What boring results. I felt like consistently Aerith was the star of the remake. I don't know how Tifa got so high honestly... like one of my genuine complaints about remake is I think Tifa kind of got the short end of the stick with character building.
Glad to see Jessie so high though. She was amazing.

It's kind of weird how so many people accidentally voted for Cloud and Tifa instead of Aerith tho like for real
Tifa was always the normal, down to earth girl with massive issues of not trying to confront Cloud's past because she was afraid of what that may bring. Not sure why people are saying she was different.
Aerith is a troll, who potentially sees Cloud as a crutch for Zack. So that also was the same.
By the way, where is the true best character?

That's enough Aerith disrespect out of you
What disrespect? She quite literally does just completely drop her personality in the final hours of the game to provide exposition.
We have to be willing to conduct whatever rituals necessary to make it happen
I'm a new fan, and from my perspective, it was very odd seeing the party accept this talking Disney animal lab experiment into their group during the last few hours of the game, then somewhat act like he's always been there. Very out of nowhere.
uhhh there's a bigger gap betweenCloud and Tifa than there is between Tifa and Aerith. Why a tie?
He was barely around long enough to really make an impact compared to everyone who is in the previous 40 or so hours of the game. He's my favourite character in 7 and I'm kinda surprised he made the top 10 lol. Part 2 is when we stan him for real though
Kinda mad Aerith isn't 1st. Considering she is the best one. This is coming from a Tifa fan. Granted it's her English performance that really sold me.
It also reminded me how much I love Cloud, just a cocky jerk. Always trying to play it cool even though he is just a huge dork half the time.
Can't wait for the second part.

If he wasn't in the top 10 but Rufus was, who is like 5 minutes in the game of which 4 are him getting beat up by cloud, oh man me and everyone that filled in that poll would have words. WORDS I TELL YOU!
And yeah, really looking forward to the barret and Red chemistry in part 2, If the part in the car is any indication, we are in for some good shit!
Yeah for real.
My favorites would probably be:
- Barrett
- Aerith
- Cloud
- Jessie
- Rude
- Andrea Rhodea
Huh. I thought Tifa was easily the worst character of the crew in Remake, with the worst VA.
She just seemed so much more of an insecure and 'meek anime girl' in Remake compared to the original, and some of her animations were really in that mold as well. I also didn't like how they kept having Cloud save her even in scenes where she didn't need his help in the original, like when they jumped off the train. Hell, they even removed her reminding Cloud of his promise to her, and gave him the line instead. Plus she doesn't react at all to Sephiroth at the end? The guy who killed her dad and burned down her village? What the hell? OG Tifa has moxie. Remake Tifa has none at all.

Not a tie, but we all knew that Tifa > Aerith, and of course Cloud x Tifa > Cloud x Aerith >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tifa x Aerith >>>>>>>>>>> Aerith x Zack
Yeah I agree, but this is clearly just a "I like these characters from FFVII who happen to appear in the remake" poll.
A shame this is turning into waifu / shipping wars.
I'm hoping it gets better in part 2 but I also don't want to get my hopes up.
This is how I feel to an extent. They don't really do anything to actually expand Tifa's character outside of repeatedly having her be unsure about the bombings. They couldn't even give us a scene where we follow her into the Avalanche meeting to see her perspective while she's arguing about why the bombings shouldn't be done. It just feels like they fleshed out everyone and forgot about Tifa. She feels written as a love interest first while the development of her actual character was but on the backseat compared to the others, especially Aerith, and it sucks. Her arc in this game is basically that she's sad and unsure and then becomes even more sad and unsure after the plate drops when 1). it shouldn't be like that at all and 2). that's not interesting. Her having doubts isn't the problem but I feel like they should have written it so that her anger / desire towards revenge ultimately won out over her uncertainty about the bombings but she comes to regret that decision after Sector 7 is destroyed. Her novel, Case of Tifa, even has her talk about how she joined Avalanche out of revenge and focused everything on being angry at Shinra because she didn't want to think about all she had lost. I don't get any of that energy from Tifa in VIIR and it's a shame. Her having no reaction to Sephiroth while Aerith and even Barret get to say something to him bothered me too.

Tifa won the poll in the Era OT as well. She's a great character that is more understated and down to earth than the others so I can see why some people would mistakenly see her as bland.
Also people saying her voice acting was bad are crazy. Britt Baron easily gave the best performance out of the cast with Cody Christian a close second.
