I really like Tifa. She was my favorite character in the original game. It always makes me angry when people say she's slutty/a whore/whatever she's none of those things at all imo.

Haha, I stumbles across this site, and got quite a laugh out of the first post ...

Ok, before you all get bored I'm gonna say what I hae to say then leave it open to discussion.


Throughout the game, if you keep Tifa in your party she seems to possess all the intelligence that should've gone to Barret, as if she's looking after it for him or something, she seems to get a grasp of the whole Cetra-Lifestream concept fairly quickly and seems good at taking in and remembering information, she also takes a genuine interest in Hojo's use for Red XIII and pretty much anything involved in science itself, one could say that if she were not a martial artists and member of AVALANCHE she'd probbaly make a pretty good scientist or a teacher.

Having said that, she also shows total lack of knowledge of anything at certain points through the game, the most memorable and yet the most arguable one is in Gold Saucer at the Inn just before you go on a date, you can choose to have Cloud explain the current situation to everyone in AVALANCHE, the only variables being Vincent and Yuffie dpeending on whether or not you got them, Cloud says that dio saw the man in the black cape and that he believes the man in the black cape to be Sephiroth, in turn, Tifa replies "I don't even know what a black cape is"


Now this could be translation error but like I said this is the most memorable incident where Tifa's brain seems to leave the building and lets the fists do the talking, there are other incidences where she seems to succumb to acts of general stupidity, whether this is spur of the moment or anything else is irrelevant and I'll leave you to stop the others as you play the game if you play the game again.

So what's your view? is Tifa really just a pretty face or is she as intelligent as she makes herself out to be towards the beginning of the game? Or is she the halfway point, just pretending to be Intelligent and repeating things she may have heard in an attempt to impress Cloud or someone else at that time.


You may begin speculation...now!

I've never taken Tifa on a date. I didn't know she said that. That's hilarious! =]

"I don't even know what a black cape is."

Haha~!

i like her rack

Tifa is definitely my favorite character, I do have to say.
owo; She's the one I connect the most with, so I generally do have a natural liking for her. I see her way more as just a pretty face, because if I liked her for just that then I could love Aerith, Lucrecia and Yuffie just as much. xD But generally I think there's something special about Tifa, she plays a huge role in my mind and hopefully others too.

I know a lot of people think she's useless, but if she wasn't there could you imagine what would happen? xD It'd be chaos.

you know its because of cloud that he is the person he is today because she helped him find himself when they were in the lifestream. if it wasnt for tifa, cloud would just be some crazy sephiroth clone

I think Tifa is one of the coolest characters in the game. I wasn't a fan of Tifa's AC outfit at first glimpse either, but it is what it is.
