10 Video Game Character Redesigns The Fans Actually Liked
2. Tifa
Final Fantasy VII has obviously undergone a huge graphical upgrade with the upcoming remake, but with Tifa they’ve made some small but necessary tweaks along the way too.
A vocal minority are unhappy about these changes, but to be blunt: They’re unhappy that she doesn’t have as big boobs anymore.
In general though, with sleek, crisp new graphics, the majority of Final Fantasy fans are on board with a more realistic Tifa, and with little costume adjustments to fit her new form.
Her white vest remains, but is now kitted out with a black trim to tie the whole thing together. Her bare legs may have seemed out of place on a realistic looking Tifa too, so they’ve been covered up with long black socks too.
Away from the physical adjustments, her gauntlets are much more slender and well defined now; something which was technologically impossible the first go around.
These days, you can zoom in close enough to see a tiny chocobo charm on her bracelet, which is a wonderful touch.
Like all FFVII characters, graphical improvements meant she needed to be built from the ground up. From what we’ve seen, Square Enix have made some smart choices with her design.
