Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

IMO Rinoa is the FF8 equivalent of Tifa, but who do u prefer!?
I'm not 100% yet but i'll give my answer when iam. Who do u prefer?

Also i think it would be fun to match up other chars from other games. Heres a couple, Yuffie is like Sephie and Vincent is like Auron.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

Hmm I think I'd go for Tifa, she kicks a lot of ass!..... But Rinoa is a sorceress??? No I'm sticking with Tifa!

Yuffie is like Selphie is like Rikku!
Cloud and Squall are quite similar.

Can't think of anymore right now!

Tifa hands down more for her character then anything although Rinoa was in some aspects similar to one another. If you think about they were almost, not really, the same character.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

I don't really think that Tifa and Rinoa's personalities are anything alike.

Rinoa openly flirted with Squall. Her opening line was "you're the best looking guy here"
She was always trying to get Squall to be more open about his feelings, and was pretty determined to help the SeeDs with their fight against Edea/Ultimecia/Galbadia/etc. even if she did end up being completely useless and always needed to be saved.

But Tifa is nearly the opposite. She obviously likes Cloud, but doesn't really flirt with him because she's so scared of rejection. She accepts Cloud for who he is, and doesn't try to force him to act in any way he doesn't want to (except for AC - but she had a good reason then!). Tifa also helps AVALANCHE greatly but she is never in need of saving and doesn't really get in the way (like Rinoa does in FFVIII)

I agree with gothic girl. They are like excact oppisites. They have some similarities but they do not weigh out.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

AC Tifa was made to look like Rinoa, but other then that, they are polar opposites when it comes to their personalities.

Yuffie is similar to all the other annoying characters, but she does a much better job of it, and it's hard to hate her for it. <3

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

Whatever pigletpie...you don't know anything about Rinoa if that's your opinion

Jesus, it's FFVII > All, ok? In terms of characters, the games strengths, etc.. It's clear that we should not compare these characters to ones from other games, especially with it's fanbase. FFVII is too much of a 'perfected' game...not saying that it's perfect as a game, but everything aims to be rather high, like all those infected by the J-Cells, and barely any weaknesses shown from the characters. Idealization or something

FFVIII is more down-to-earth. Obviously that's not some people's tastes, they'd rather have an escape from reality, where there's Greek...I mean idealized people and such.

As for Rinoa, it's nice to see a girl take that initiative, and open Squall up, whilst Tifa was still struggling to help Cloud open up as we see in AC. But a good amount of people would rather Squall stay alone with the 'whatever' attitude. Sure it's cool, but he'll become an empty shell and before you know it, live in confinement.

Sorry, I'm just ticked off at some responses

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

Just because Cloud and Sephiroth are very powerful individuals, doesn't mean FF7 characters have no weaknesses.

If anything, they have alot of emotional weaknesses. <_<

I'm not sure about Rinoa though. She may have just been flirty for the sake of being flirty.

I mean, she did have a fling with Seifer, didn't she? xD

I'm sure she ended up falling in love with Squall and vice versa, of course.

Guys are ussually the ones saving the girls, so it's kind of unique how Tifa was able to save Cloud though.

Likewise, Rinoa "saved" Squall from being a loner. xD

I think they are both awesome, but Tifa would kick Rinoa's ass royally in a fight.

Not just because Tifa is a great martial artist, but Rinoa seems like a "princess" type with little combat experience prior to her aid of the SeeDs.

Screw sorceress powers. Tifa could just equip some good ol' materia to balance the magic act, and then pummel Rinoa with her fists of fury.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

If Tifa gets materia, it's only fair that Rinoa be allowed GFs to junction things out, no?

I didn't say they had no weaknesses, I just said that they barely have any. Still, you cannot deny the game's setting. FFVII and FFVIII are way different, and tbh imo, FFVII should never be compared outside it's own world...it is widely the same damn conclusion, FFVII winning the debate, the war, whatever comes up, especially to the flaws aka down-to-earth level that FFVIII is on.

You obviously never played FF7, then.

I guess in terms of VS matches, FF7 characters often end up winning. Outside of Cloud/Sephiroth matches though, that's mainly due to popularity, I guess.

And disliking something because it's popular seems to be very popular.

~~~~

I guess the GFs and Materia balance out...

Which leaves Tifa's butt-kicking fists of fury.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

And that proves my point even further Which main character chick can Tifa not bring down after FFVII? No one would deny that she can defeat Rinoa, Yuna, Ashe, anyone.

Of course, Rosa can stand a chance, maybe even Lightning, but we don't know too much about her. Even so, no FF is bigger than VII, so what's the sense in debating outside it's own world when we all know the conclusion's to be the same?

I like FFVII myself, but it's not popularity that keeps it from being my #1 favorite, it's the overall highly powered and almost perfected people.

re: Tifa Lockheart or Rinoa Heartilly

Tifa without Materia would likely fall to the likes of...

- Yuna's Aeons.
- Rinoa with GF and junctioning.
- Rosa
- Rydia
- Terra
- Celes

I certainly don't see perfect people. Although, I suppose it would depend on what you deem a perfect person is. The FF7 characters all went through alot of shit, and all had personal weaknesses. In the end, they are all incredibly strong willed people.

It's not like they're all flying around at light speed screaming "Kamehameha!!!!" xD
