Really hoping for the SNES version. The SNES version is awesome and unsexualized.
So i actually took a look in that Nakamura thread and it's good to know that some people on here are perfectly fine keeping the creepy nerd stereotype alive 😐
I feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall in that Cyberpunk thread - why is every time I bring up an issue that specifically affects a woman I get treated like a prude or over sensitive or I "being coloured by me experiences". Yeah, being called slurs due to my gender does mean I have a different understanding to those words than straight guys do, whodda thunk?????
Lots of folks showing their privilege in there. Like the one dude who didn't understand that
Cock-sucker
What about the redesign of The Dark Queen from Battletoads?
Tifa does look good. Tis a shame about the rest of the game though.
She has smaller breasts. That's all it takes these days.
Her skirt is alittle weird, with the usual sports pants in case of up skirts. Certainly a better design.
i like tifa's design in the remake. it's the original, but she doesn't have comically large breasts and she looks like she can actually move around in her skirt since it isn't as tight
Lol those breasts are still comically large and would be a fucking pain for any female fighter.
lol i was just about to edit
yeah looking at the screenshots you're right
Lol, why is everyone surprised about Tifa? She's basically looked that way in all her other appearances.
As someone with large breasts, while annoying they aren't that bad. Just need the right kinda support. However....wish i had Tifa's magical support, cause what's she's wearing wouldn't hold anything.

It definitely is a very subtle redesign. The black undershirt is new, the skirt is loftier, and she wears stockings now. Overall, I think it is a more tasteful design, but I still don't think it holds up at all in modern graphics. On the other hand, I understand why they didn't want to steer too far from her original look, and like the changes well enough overall. I think shorts under the skirt would have made sense and gone a long way however, and am not sure why we didn't get them (I know why we didn't).
One hundred percent this. I think they did a good job. I would consider it a minor win. However, I really wish they had given her some muscle definition. If she had Clouds arms she would have been perfect.
P.S. I really wish Jessie was playable, too. She looks great. It would be awesome to be able to use her.
So the last thing I ever expected was them giving Tifa smaller breasts, skorts, an undershirt, and a noticeable six pack. Along with no dynamic bones for breast physics. This is literally the exact opposite of what I expected and the meltdowns from the usuals are gonna be glorious. 👏 Literally the only thing missing is bigger arms.
Is it really a skort? Whenever I saw, it looked like panties to me. If it is a skort, then yeah, that's great.
The first comment I read, when I looked over to the chat box, was... "She looks awful". So yeah, the tears are definitely going to rain down. I shall bathe myself in them.
It is a fairly classy update.
Nothing really, I took that in the middle of an animation where she's twisting her body enough to cause issues on the model. You can see a similar issue to the neck here.
but yea, skorts.
She really just needs more muscle definition on her arms, like Aloy or Senua.
She didn't. The idea is that a fighter should at least have some muscle definition.
I am pleasantly surprised by their Tifa but still maintain that the Advent Children outfit was so damn superior that it should have been retconned in.
I mean she didn't have a six pack either. But they added one. I mean something along the lines of:
Just some proper muscle tone considering her fighting style involves lots of punches.

I agree. Some realistic muscle tone would have looked so much better. But it's definitely not the societal beauty standard they are aiming for. And have you seen her tiny, tiny, tiny waist? Everything in the design is totally a conscious decision. They know what they are doing (unfortunately).
The suspenders on the small of her back are blending in with the background. She's got a pretty slim waist, tho.
I agree, her remake look is the best iteration so far, but I would love to see her show off some muscles. Kind of a shame that SE doesn't like definition on their female characters. Lightning's muscles were even toned down between FFXIII's 2005 E3 reveal and 2009 release.
EDIT: Added her prototype and final renders.

Everything about Lightning was toned down. SHe was barely a character by the end of her games and more of a weird love creature made by the creator of that game series for himself.
I mean to be fair this was less them toning down muscles, that was the result of decimation. As the models pre-release were way higher poly than in the released game, so pretty much EVERYTHING got smaller lol and less detailed:
She still had noticeable muscle detail in the game compared to Vanille and Fang:
Her updated design looks far better and I forgot her og suit didn't have thigh highs. They complete the outfit imo.

Think I still prefer Advent Children's face but at least they tried to compromise and it LOOKS like they gave her shorts under the skirt but I could be wrong. Either way I'm happy she looks "like Tifa"
That's so silly. I think people are so used to Anime boobs they forgot what real boobs look like. I love Xenoblade 2 but that style has made people loopy haha

Those same people also literally thought that every woman in MK11 has A cups. They have, ZERO idea how breasts work lol.
Twitter is currently going crazy over Barret
Looks like Square accidentally hit onto a Hot Ryu design for him.
