Honestly I think the latest G-bike arts are all great. They should stick with it.

The original designs are iconic, so I doubt they would actually redesign characters or give them new costumes, even the AC ones.

I have no problem with these.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I feel they are all gonna be pretty similar to their Kingdom Hearts /Crisis Core/ Advent Children designs.

Nomura has pretty much chiseled out these designs over the last decade and I don't see him dropping them.

Yes, but I feel this warrants its own thread as it's one of the big ongoing subjects with Remake along with the original's (arguably outdated) comedic elements along with whether or not you can

Spoiler

bring Aerith back to life/save Aerith

Hope so, but the board really has become new thread for new news, otherwise it all gets chucked into one giant thread where discussion of a particular subject is impossible for more than a few posts and real discussion is choked.
But hey, at least everything looks nice and neat!

 

[GuardianE]

Leave Tifa alone. She should be faithful to her original depiction.

 

[Kusagari]

Her AC design is one of my favorite designs Square has ever done.

I'd have no problem with them using that.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Because thats how I was introduced to her when I played it in the '90s. I'd prefer the original design be kept for EVERY character. So why do they need to go, if you wouldn't mind answering.

I haven't seen people devalue Tifa yet because of her proportions, but moreso value her skills and strength. If they never affected how she was view as a character, they do not need to be altered.

Because it was awkward and gross when I first played it as a kid, and still so now.

Seeing as how her Dissidia and AC designs have a much more modest bust, I feel like SE agrees with me, and will do the reasonable thing.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Another thread for FFVII Remake? Shit guys, come on. This will likely get locked.

 

[kitschbeam]

Advent Children Tifa is the best Tifa.

 

[DangerMouse]

These are acceptable.

Yup, love them both. Her AC design was fantastic. One of my favorite characters.

I think it'll be one of them, Nomura clearly put a lot into that design to update her design for HD for the first time. I could see him going with either outfit.

I think the most likely is that second one with her AC design with her original FFVII outfit.

Thats a great reason to change an iconic character design.

Because you felt grossed out. Sounds... reasonable.

I'm an adult, and even as a kid, this was never a problem for the mature mind. Whether you felt breasts were "gross" or otherwise is the exact reason why the design shouldn't be changed. Shit, lets give Palmer liposuction, too. There are people out there grossed out by the heavyset and their awkwardness.

 

[SoulUnison]

What if Tifa just has big breasts? Plenty of women I know do, my gf included.

Making all women small breasted isn't any better than making them all large breasted. Areith and Yuffie both have smaller cup sizes. Why do they all need to be that way?

Really hoping suggestions like this are ignored by the devs. That and half the stuff people on this site want.

Not everything needs to be turned into a cause to champion.

Lol, stealth bragging?

 

[ShinMaruku]

As faithful as possible to the original. So that last CG render. Big breasts and all.

Truth. Give alternate AC outfits if you want that too.

 

[sensui-tomo]

I for one, like some of the fan art... time to see how many people will see my avatar in the future.
I'm going to assume they'll make tifa look more like her CC/AC looks.

Are you talking to me or Nomura, the creator of the character? The design has changed, you should come to terms with it. Sorry.

 

[Inuhanyou]

You can still have huge tits and not be comically ridiculous like in the original game. Her AC design is the best i think. They are probably going to go with her Dissidia look, where she's basically the same, but her bust size is a bit more realistic.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

yup and this is one of her most recent designs, looks great

At a certain point, being against sexist designs can become really sexist, I believe this post is that point.

As to the topic at hand, outfits need to stay the same. Character proportions can't really stay the same, because they couldn't even stay consistent throughout just Final Fantasy VII. So as a huge Final Fantasy VII fan, I have no issue with them taking whatever direction they want.

 

[Astarte]

Get both original outfits and AC outfits and keep them in the game as optional outfits.

 

[hurricanes]

Her chest size is large but not disproportionately large in the original art. The CG(original) however is disproportionate.

Only thing I think they should change is her muscle definition. In a realistic style it is just so out of place for a boxing lady to have zero muscle definition.

Emm... Actually her new model(s) is a lot closer to her original art.

 

[darkblade77]

Agreed. I like her AC design but I don't expect to see it in-game(except maybe as DLC/post-game content). Even in AC they showed the original designs via flashback, and in the trailer it looked like Cloud and Barret were wearing their usual outfits.

I don't think that Tifa sporting the original design or her original physique is going to make her some living breast joke/sex symbol either. Effort beyond the design has to be made to do that. And I doubt S-E is going to make that kind of effort going by how her other appearances have been between AC/CC/etc.

 

[RoboPlato]

The designs you recommended are barely different from the original design that you seem to want changed, just a human level of well endowed. That's what I expect anyway. Original clothing, AC style design.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's odd to say the least to see backlash demanding a faithful return to the character design design from a game that used no less than 3 model designs for each playable character is. FFVII was anything but consistent from scene to battle to world map to CG.

 

[Galactic Barret]

Are you talking to me or Nomura, the creator of the character? The design has changed, you should come to terms with it. Sorry.

Don't apologize: I've watched the AC movie and understand that he can stay true to the original design. I appreciate your concern, tho.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Nomura has pretty much chiseled out these designs over the last decade and I don't see him dropping them.

Not a fan of this design, tbh.

I can't figure out what sort of garment that is for her lower half. It looks like rolled up leather capris and a backwards apron. Leather isn't very absorbent though and it's difficult to wash, so I don't think it would make a very good apron, especially for a bartender.

I don't think anybody over the age of 15 would wear shoes that look like that. Tifa is... 20ish, I think?

And yeah, the zip up leather vest is some Nomura self-parody. The white tank top by itself is iconic.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

As to the topic at hand, outfits need to stay the same, character proportions can't really stay the same, because they couldn't even stay consistant throughout just Final Fantasy VII.

You people are priceless.

Tell me more about how keeping Tifa's design is more progressive and moderate.

Don't apologize: I've watched the AC movie and understand that he can stay true to the original design. I appreciate your concern, tho.

But her bust is smaller in AC? So what do you want? Because, you just said that such an action is not true to the original design.

 

[Gbraga]

Get both original outfits and AC outfits and keep them in the game as optional outfits.

This person is a genius.

And they'll probably make it DLC, and I'll probably buy it.

 

[CrackPebbles]

I like how you denounce fanart emphasizing her chest as it is based on the standards of FFVII CGs and not in line with her character then praise fanart that you feel is what the character should look like despite it being so different proportion-wise then her actual character. And basically say that they should just copy that for the remake.

 

[BlueDogAnchorite]

I really like her redesign in Advent Children. I hope they go with that look.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

You're the one who has an issue with big breasts

alot of women have big breasts

I'm sorry that you feel grossed out by them.

Yeah, I would go with the G-Bike one.
They look more matured.
But the AC design is also great.
You can't go wrong since these characters are so iconic to screw up.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Her AC look is the best. Would be nice if they use it.

 

[Prototype]

Lol, stealth bragging?

My gf is a 32DDD. No brag. Just truth. And to be honest, that's not even that big. Pefect imo tho, haha.

I can easily see Tifa having larger breasts than that,even with a thin/athletic build.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

These are acceptable.

Those are the only way it should be, otherwise having a Remake is pointless.

 

[sleepykyo]

Pretty sure it is going to be Advent Children and that is fine.

 

[Terareflection]

It's extremely reasonable and I feel the same.

Why are you so frightened by big boobs?

 

[Adaren]

Pay homage to the original without going overboard, Tomb Raider-style.

I'd be okay with a little bustier than her AC version, but they definitely shouldn't go as far as FF7 did.

And no physics or fan service.

 

[anaron]

I actually really like these. the callback in colour tone to the original portraits are wonderful.

if the game took to this design style I'd be pretty pleased

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I'm sorry that you feel grossed out by them.

No I don't. I have a problem with unrealistic breast physics accentuating unrealistic body proportions. Save me your false concern for women.

Why are you so frightened by big boobs?

Read.

 

[eMpTy23]

Personally, I want the remake to be the same damn game. That includes Tifa's boobs. But I assume the remake will be radically different, and I assume Tifa's boobs will be one of the first things to go (if they aren't gone already). Because 'real' women have small boobs and anything bigger than an A-cup is considered sexist nowadays.

I do like her Advent Children design, but it isn't really Tifa in my eyes. The boobs are a part of Tifa.

EDIT:

No I don't. I have a problem with unrealistic breast physics accentuating unrealistic body proportions. Save me your false concern for women.

Go look up people like Hitomi Tanaka. Tifa doesn't (didn't) have an unrealistic body. Something being rare does not mean unrealistic.

 

[Uhyve]

But her bust is smaller in AC? So what do you want? Because, you just said that such an action is not true to the original design.

Consider that some women are large and you just called that gross. It's a dumb design, I don't disagree with that, I just find you disagreeable.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

They should make her tits at least 14 times bigger.

 

[rpmurphy]

Realistic bazonga physics is the way to go.

 

[Corpekata]

Apparently being less than Christina Hendricks is an A-cup these days.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

No I don't. I have a problem with unrealistic breast physics accentuating unrealistic body proportions. Save me your false concern for women.

oh

Because it was awkward and gross when I first played it as a kid, and still so now.

You know...I really wouldn't judge the original game as having unrealistic breast physics...seeing as everything looks polygonal as fuck. Like I mentioned, the Dissidia iteration of her looks great, and retains the basic look of her original version

 

[klee123]

http://www.chucksanimeshrine.com/animeblog/uploaded_images/tifa_1280_1024-794754.jpg

This is fine. Heck, make her breast size similar to AC her look which I don't mind at all, but keep the original outfit.

 

[Corpekata]

I will personally riot if they change Barrett from being so squat and stout he looks like he could be related to Cait Sith's moogle.

 

[komorebi]

I feel they are all gonna be pretty similar to their Kingdom Hearts /Crisis Core/ Advent Children designs.

I'll tolerate some chains, belt buckles, fishnets, slack-suspenders, buttons, calculated ripped jeans, etc but I will change.org if he puts those asinine KH-esque giant shoes on everyone. There are limits.

G-bike Barret looks so cool, though :C

Do you actually believe that women don't have breasts the size of Tifa or..?

Are we not allowed to have characters in games with big boobs anymore?

 

[Eila]

It's extremely reasonable and I feel the same.

Well, I don't feel grossed out by the old design. Is that unreasonable?
I think it's silly, but to find it gross is much sillier, honestly.
