She looks great, but oddly rail thin in that fourth screenshot of combat. Like a mix of bad timing in the shot, bad design, and just kinda creepy proportion wise. Wonder if its just the screeny there cause shes looking alien like imo lol.

fake edit: it might be the mixture of having black stockings and arm... warmers? on. Black is slimming after all.

I still think that, in a vacuum, I like her Advent design better. That said, she looks perfect, they really did her justice. All of the revealed characters have looked wonderful.

So far so good on all the character designs. Love that they kept that odd tilted shape to Sephiroth's eyes from advent children. Tifa looks striking and Aerith looks wholesome.

Now just stick the landing on Red XIII's tressFX and we're gold for disc 1.

Not bad, but might be my least favorite of the Tifa designs. Not feeling the sock leggings + split skirt.

I would like a little more muscle definition on her arms, but this is a very good design (almost certainly her best). They are really hitting it out of the park.

It seems that the older I get, the more salt flows throw my blood system because I thought Tifa looked just fucking horrible.
The face is my main issue which looks too doll like (she looks a bit stoned in this shot):



I also dislike her softer facial features and the hair looks rough.

For me that was the perfect reference and I'm infinitely disappointed how they missed it by a mile:



Or how she looks in the cinematic of Dissidia:




And this shot with the eyes really rubbed me the wrong way:

Very pleased they toned her proportions down and it's a bit more modest than what you'd expect from female characters in recent FF games.

I am so relieved by Tifa's design! God, I've been so anxious about it for ages that it was gonna be hyper sexualized and ruin the experience for me, but... it's actually pretty tasteful!
I'm not sure how I feel about the thigh highs, and I think I would have preferred a skirt with a slit (like a more classic skort look) than pleated, but I'm soooo glad they gave her shorts! And her boobs are big but aren't in boob socks and I like the double layer look.
Just, phew! I'm so damn glad!

Whoever decided to add thigh highs deserves a promotion, raise, and a fat bonus.

Also really weird how people are happy that they "toned" her down when they didn't really.

Wellll....not here at least
Good enough for me. I don't really frequent social media and am not active on any other gaming boards. That said, recently I have been wondering if, given the history of sexual objectification within the medium, bigger breasts on serious characters are considered taboo by the devs because of how distorted our lens of perspective has been shaped into.


People losing their shit, it's hilarious.
Looks like 4chan.....

I mean, maybe they just have different design preferences? I mean questioning their like of the character seems weird
It just... doesn't fit the character as depicted in the writing, at least from my perspective. Why does it make so many people happy? What are they getting out of it that I am not?

Am I a weirdo alien who can't connect to the human race?

The drafting skill here is good, but the actually choices made in terms of character depiction and art style just don't fit Tifa. That so many people love it makes me wonder what they like about her.
It's literally Tifa with thicker legs, you're making it sound like it's completely off.



Everyone is getting an undershirt. Midgar is prolly chilly.
Barret has looked fucking amazing this whole time. Much better than AC.

Yeah it is, I knew they'd be crying so I went to check.

Putting ZR on Tifa is just going to endear her even more to the otaku in Japan (and the fans in other places that care for that fetish).

A wise move by Squenix.
