How Should Tifa Be Handled In Final Fantasy VII Remake?

I really love her Advent Children look.

I think the other one in the OP is pretty damn good as well though:

Although this works too:

This thread is ostensibly against the sexualisation of the character in relation to her breast size but you still want the miniskirt/crop-top combo?
 
You people are priceless.

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

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.
In the flashback in the beginning of AC, her design with suspenders, tanktop and shorts were shown. AC happens after the events of FFVII. They are doing a FFVII remake, not an AC remake; this is evident by the design of Cloud and Barret in the actual trailer.

So, as you said, Nomura understands his character. He will more than likely give the same design she sported in the original. You do not retcon an iconic design, cosplay material for decades, on a whim.

EDIT:


Go look up people like Hitomi Tanaka. Tifa doesn't (didn't) have an unrealistic body. Something being rare does not mean unrealistic.
Ahhh, I wish I knew what I was about to search -__-

Actually I didn't even know people with her body type actually existed. I actually believed she was unrealistic. My bad.
oh



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 :)
Yea, I guess I'm holding too much against them for that CG scene.
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?
Can you read? The post you just quoted says proportions?
 
It doesn't matter as long as they do extreme damage to her character with the slap fight in Juno. That part is key.

Also she still needs to call Barrett retarded out of nowhere.
 
Please no white shirt. If they go that route at least make it look like she is wearing a sports bra underneath. :|

You just brought up a thought, but would they even have wet textures or transparency? I have to admit I would actually be impressed if they actually can capture any wet fabric correctly, white or not. Though if they aren't going to make it that realistic, I don't see what's the problem with a white top because it's not going to be see through anyways.

Though I think they did some wet texture in FF13-2 but I dunno if it actually made the clothes transparent or if it just made everything more glossy for a wet look since I haven't seen the game in a while.
 
For those who feel like her original design should remain untouched, a quick reminder:


- Her legs are about 2/3s of her entire body
- At their thickest point, her arms are still skinner than her ankles
- Each breast is nearly the size of her head
- Her thighs are wider than her waist
- That skirt is extraordinarily impractical for kickboxing, just sayin'...

Now, it's a good design, but I think it's pretty clear that it needs to be updated to fit more with the remake. The trailer seems to indicate that they're going for a more realistic aesthetic, and this is clearly not a realistic design.

When you have to point people to a porn star to defend a video game character's design, you're missing the point.
 

You know, when she meets Scarlett on top of the cannon in Juno and Tifa, renowned martial artist that she is, proceeds to get in to a slap fight with her until she's rescued.

It's such great character assassination that the Other M team wishes they thought of it first.

This is perfect to me:

It's faithful to the character without being excessive.
It would be stupid to make her flat or with an average chest size just to avoid any sexual characterization.

I've always found many Tifa fans to be annoying with their obsession on her breasts. Like, at the least OP I've seen you actually like positive qualities about her and not focus on her awful sexualized appearance. I have other reasons for disliking Tifa but man the fans are a big reason.

As for design, I say keep her original appearance but fix up her clothing.

She wasn't originally a porn star, and she's obviously the most famous person with that body type. Why would she not be the first person to pop into my mind?

I could name other people with her body type, but they take their tops off and go nude as well, so I'd just be naming more pornstars.

I occasionally see girls at the malls with this body type. I did today. Yea, I kind of stared as I drove past, which gives credence to the rarity of it, but how am I missing the point?

I mean, do you want me to search for random candid photos of people off streets to back up my point that the body portions are not unrealistic?

What's the point of your post?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Realistically, I think the G-bike designs are pretty indicative of where they'll go with this remake, so the AC render of Tifa's white shirt/black skirt design are probably what we're gonna get. The brief shot of Barret we see looks basically the same as his art from that game. Anyone asking for a wardrobe change will likely be disappointed, although, as others have said, costume DLC isn't out of the question.
 
It's kind of funny, when I see people talking about how you modernize FFVII, it's usually about the brothel scene or Tifa's boobs.

It's never, hey, isn't Barrett kind of a racist depiction based entirely on a fictional 80s action character, how do they fix that

Let's make sure they don't make Tifa's chest size smaller, though

Also the G-bike designs are fantastic. I really hope that's the direction they go with the characters.

Wow this is actually so true. I mean, I'm super against Barrets original depiction for the english version but It's not something I've been bringing up much.

In a game with flying airships, magic, summons and an attack that involves a meteor, it's her big rack that's unrealistic. LOL. GAF has weird people. PEACE.

You don't think it's silly that a martial artist gets into a slap fight? One of the worst moments in the game. Hope it gets cut or changed.
why? that segment is hilarious as gameplay.

Tifa's general characterization does more damage to herself than that scene does.
