Taken aback Tifa told them of her plan, and said she was in no danger, but was concerned that she was only one of three audition candidates and there was a chance she would not be picked.

With Cloud and Aerith as the other candidates, the three would be able to secure information from Corneo. He initially took interest in Tifa, who appeared very uncomfortable in contrast with the stoic Cloud and the calmer Aerith, until Cloud's derisive remarks led him being picked instead. Tifa and Aerith were sent to Corneo's lackeys, and beat them up together.

Corneo's henchman Leslie Kyle provided their equipment as gifts from Andrea Rhodea , and the group hurried to Cloud's rescue. The three interrogated Corneo, Tifa threatening him with castration, until he revealed Shinra's plan to drop the Sector 7 plate, horrifying her. Corneo then dropped them into the sewer system through a trap door.

Tifa was agitated by Corneo's words, hoping he was lying. Drawing on her time with Avalanche, she navigated a path out for the group, knowing the Sector 6 and 7 tunnels would be connected.

When getting to know her, Tifa seemed to notice Aerith knew something they didn't. Tifa in shock below the pillar top and fleeing it following its destruction bottom. In " Fight for Survival ", Tifa was mortified to see the pillar under attack from Shinra. When she ran towards it, Whispers appeared to show her down. They saw Wedge plummet off the pillar, but survive with a grappling hook cushioning his fall. Tifa and Aerith looked after him while Cloud climbed the pillar.

After they were sure Wedge would be fine, Tifa asked Aerith to get Marlene to safety though Aerith knew Tifa's request before she even asked it , and with Aerith's encouragement, followed Cloud up the pillar. The two found a dying Jessie, with Tifa shedding tears.

Barret urged her not to think like this, reminding her it was Shinra who separated the plate, regardless of what happened before. Cloud mostly stayed back, but then chimed in that Marlene would be okay if Aerith had helped her, and Tifa agreed.

Cloud wished to go rescue her but Elmyra strongly objected, and Tifa agreed, encouraging Cloud to wait a little first, hoping that Shinra would treat her well and soon release her. Barret, Tifa, and Cloud returned to the ruins of Sector 7. Through a cave-in, they found a secret Shinra testing facility hidden underground , as well as Wedge, whom they took to Aerith's place to recuperate, commencing " In Search of Hope ".

That night, Tifa had a chance to meet Cloud in Aerith's garden , where she revealed she learned that his flower, having come from here, symbolized reunion, and that she had tried to keep it alive as long as possible. She lamented having lost everything again because of Shinra, and burst into tears, with Cloud embracing her.

Needing a way to return topside as the trains had stopped, Tifa's only suggestion was to chase after Corneo once more. Seeing an undercity resident named Kyrie Canaan spread Shinra propaganda in the hopes of being paid, Barret angrily wished to storm the stage, but Tifa held him back as there was no point, they would not be listened to with everyone so on edge.

At her suggestion, they helped out several undercity residents with various tasks, [63] including Johnny, whose wallet Kyrie had stolen. Johnny declared he was leaving Midgar unless Tifa begged him to stay; she simply wished him the best of luck. After beating him, Andrea thanked her for pushing him to his limits, and she thanked him for the challenge. The group met Leslie Kyle again at Corneo's palace, who agreed to help them topside if they helped him settle a score with Corneo.

Tifa reminded him that Cloud would kill him if he betrayed them, [63] though was otherwise not hostile, remembering he had helped them before. On their way up, Tifa told Cloud he was nice deep down, and she had never seen that as kids. She agreed with Barret that being a mercenary suited him.

At the top Tifa and Barret planned on starting a new bar, wishing Cloud could join them. In " The Belly of the Beast ", the group infiltrated the Shinra Building through the garage, and Tifa used her acrobatic skills to procure them a keycard to enter the facility.

They were surreptitiously helped by Mayor Domino who sabotaged the security. In the latter, they encountered soldiers as well as scared, normal employees. Tifa remarked how easy it was to forget that ordinary people, who are just trying to provide for themselves, work for Shinra, but Barret thought they were not without sin.

After seeing frantic employees at the Urban Planning Administration following the fall of the plate, Tifa felt a little better. In " Deliverance from Chaos ", in Aerith's room within Hojo's lab, she told them of her Cetra heritage, and of the Whispers' role as the stewards of a fate the planet itself wanted to come to pass. She was attacked by Whispers when she tried to warn them of a threat greater than Shinra. Tifa again suspected Aerith had more to say, and pulled her away from the Whispers, promising to help her figure it out.

On their way to the roof Hojo dropped them into the Drum where Tifa worked with Aerith, separated from the other three, to figure a way through the maze of research experiments. After regrouping they followed a trail of black liquid up to President Shinra's office where they found the president hanging on for dear life on the side of the skyscraper. Tifa asked Barret not to murder him, but Sephiroth suddenly appeared and impaled both the president and Barret before transforming.

Following a battle with Jenova Dreamweaver , Barret was healed by the Whispers, and the group attempted to leave until their helicopter was shot down by Rufus Shinra. Cloud urged the others to leave, fighting Rufus alone until he fled the scene and Cloud was shot at and nearly fell to his death. Tifa rescued him, scolding Cloud for playing the hero, [73] and the two stole Shinra vehicles to help the others escape.

Sephiroth awaited for them at the end of the unfinished expressway, opening a portal to the Singularity. Tifa followed the group and they defeated the Whispers, then helped Cloud fight Sephiroth, who disappeared at the end. Afterward, Tifa agreed to follow Cloud and the others in pursuit of him.

Original art by Tetsuya Nomura top and render of original attire for Advent Children bottom. Tifa has dark brown hair, occasionally appearing black, which typically falls below her waist and is tied at the tips to form a dolphin-tail split.

Tifa has red eyes, though they have been depicted as a brown in some appearances. She has an athletic build, with a slender but toned physique, and visible abdominals. Tifa's typical attire throughout all her appearances is some variation of a sleeveless shirt that exposes her midriff, a miniskirt, and a white teardrop earring on her left ear.

The three main variants of this attire are her default Final Fantasy VII outfit slightly modified in Remake , her tour guide cowgirl outfit, and her Leather Suit outfit. She dons red and black gloves that extend to her elbows, red boots, black socks, and a metal guard on her left elbow. In Remake , her skirt has pleated segments similar to a tennis skirt to make it easier for her to perform her martial arts, she wears black shorts underneath, and a black sports bra under her white tank top.

She wears black leather gloves with metal plates on the back and knuckles, while the elbow pad on her left arm has been supplemented by a red-and-black leather vambrace that has Norse runes on the edging.

The red sections of her vambrace and the larger metal plates on the back of her gloves have runes engraved on them. She wears a pair of black and red boots with black leg protectors similar to a gymnast's outfit. Tifa's Nibelheim tour guide outfit depicted in Crisis Core , Before Crisis , and flashbacks throughout Final Fantasy VII and Remake is a cowgirl outfit with a short leather skirt and vest with pockets, a button-up corset, a white shirt that reveals her belly, a belt around her hips, cowboy boots, and a hat.

Her Leather Suit introduced in Advent Children , seen in Kingdom Hearts , and in other appearances as an alternate outfit is a white tank top under a black zip-up vest with black overhauled shorts that fold at the waist, forming an additional utility pocket at the front and a short duster at the back extending to her heels. She wears a pink ribbon around her left arm in remembrance of Aerith, and a Fenrir ring on her right hand.

She wears short black gloves. Tifa has a few other alternate outfits. In Final Fantasy VII Remake , the equivalent "The Town That Never Sleeps" chapter sees Tifa wear one of three dresses based on player choices : her indigo minidress with ankle-straps on the heels by default or if the player selected a "refined" dress, a black leopard-print cheongsam with her hair up in "odango" buns if the player selects a "sporty" dress, or a short black kimono-style dress with pink flower hair accessories if the player selects an "exotic" dress.

In her artwork by Yoshitaka Amano , Tifa has white hair, and wears a red miniskirt with a white top and red gloves. This attire is an alternate outfit in her other appearances, but is not worn in the Final Fantasy VII series. I know we have to think big if we're going to make a difference. But not like this. I just I feel trapped.

Tifa is empathic, motherly, and reserved, both out of being observant and for being emotionally shy. Tifa identifies the feelings of others, offering sanctuary and protection for her teammates. Tifa is defined by her grief and loss throughout her life, manifesting in her conflicted nature, low self-esteem, and her reserved tendencies. As a child, she was more outgoing and extroverted, but the trauma of losing her mother at eight years old made her withdrawn at the time, and introverted later in life.

As a result, Tifa feels grief and anger towards both Shinra and Sephiroth, driving her desire for revenge. This, as well as her coping mechanism for pain being to withstand it rather than run from it, [note 10] leads her to join Avalanche to get back at Shinra. While she acknowledges they have to be bold to make a change, she is ill at ease about the bombings and feels trapped, [21] expressing guilt at many of their actions.

As a supportive but troubled figure, Tifa shares mutual dependence with her friends. In her friendship with Barret, he depends on her as his moral compass, grounding him to do the right thing, [83] [84] [84] whereas she depends on him to push her forward when she is indecisive. Tifa depends on him as the only remnant of their hometown of Nibelheim following its destruction, and thus of her old identity.

She is therefore protective of him, though this is mutual. Aside from Cloud, Tifa shows little romantic interest in others, ignoring the advances of her three childhood friends, [10] Johnny, [64] Rude, [31] and an Avalanche member who attempted to win her over with flowers. Following the defeat of Sephiroth, Tifa attempts to put together a normal family, building a new bar and raising a family with Cloud, Barret, Marlene, and later Denzel.

She appears hurt by Cloud's distantness, and in the Geostigma crisis, pushes him to take action and stop brooding over his past failures. Tifa is a martial artist who was taught by Zangan, and in contrast with her reserved personality, is deceptively strong. Her fighting style involves primarily punches and kicks, and she uses knuckles and claws as her weapons.

Her skills put her on par with the rest of the party — including Cloud, an enhanced supersoldier; and Barret, a battle-hardened leader wielding a cybernetic gun-arm — despite not having the same advantages.

Her training with Zangan is also made apparent by her physique, others commenting on her "tight muscles". Tifa's techniques are showcased in her limit breaks. Among the most powerful are Dolphin Blow , an uppercut punch that summons a dolphin to attack with her, and Meteor Strike , where she lifts the enemy of any size, including a giant mech or one of the planet's colossal Weapon monsters over her head with a single arm and leaps into the air before throwing it to the floor.

However, neither technique appears outside of gameplay, suggesting her true strength is not as supernatural. Tifa also draws strength from her chi, as seen with her Unbridled Strength mechanic in Final Fantasy VII Remake , and can materialize her chi in the form of an orb that damages any foe in contact.

Tifa also handles the finances for Barret's Avalanche cell [19] and runs the Seventh Heaven bar; both her food and cocktails made the bar famous in the slums. Tifa is a playable party member, who relies on her martial arts techniques in battle seen in her unique Limits , and wields claws and glove weapons. Her stats in Final Fantasy VII are designed around the Monk character class, meaning her physical stats are stronger than her magical stats.

She has lower HP growth than other characters, but her Strength growth gives her the third highest potential Strength of any character behind only Cloud and Barret. Tifa's Limit Break Somersault. Tifa's weapons, high Strength stat, and her Limits gear her towards using physical damage. In particular, her unique Limits being performed in a combo selected by a slot reel allow her to string together great amounts of physical damage to enemies, making her a good choice for Counter Attack Materia and other choices that rely on her damage output.

Her ultimate weapon is the Premium Heart which capitalizes on this further, dealing more damage based on how full her Limit gauge is. In addition, two of her weapons, the Powersoul and Master Fist , have mechanics that stack multiplicatively based on if Tifa is under negative statuses ; this allows them to outclass several ultimate weapons in damage output. In addition to being a playable party member, Tifa is a temporary replacement for Cloud as party leader at certain points in the story.

This can have an impact on dialogue in various sidequests. It also allows her to participate in Chocobo racing and Snowboarding , although she has a chance to participate in these minigames in Cloud's stead when she is present in the party and Cloud is the leader. Tifa is a date option for Cloud in the Gold Saucer, determined by a hidden stat in the game. She starts with the second highest value, at 30, which is 20 behind the highest, Aerith. Tifa is once again a playable party member who uses her martial arts techniques in battle, with a fast, close-range fighting style.

She is the fastest character in both movement speed and ATB recharge rate. Her ability is to use a different martial arts technique depending on her chi level, Tifa being able to charge more chi with Unbridled Strength by expending ATB. Her abilities are martial arts techniques that are best performed in combos, and grant her the ability to both quickly build an enemy's stagger gauge and also increase stagger bonus damage.

Her movement speed makes her a quick dodger. Tifa has the best natural Speed attribute, the second-highest Strength attribute, and her knuckles provide the biggest physical damage bonuses of any party. Her natural HP is fairly low, and her survivability depends more on her ability to quickly dodge out of and avoid damage than to sustain it. Though Tifa's Magic attribute is naturally low, equipping weapons that improve it can take advantage of her high speed, and still make her a fast spellcaster used as a battlemage.

Although Tifa's damage-per-second potential is high, she is focused more on single-target melee damage, as opposed to Cloud or Barret with a melee weapon, whose melee damage is area-of-effect. Tifa joins the party in Chapter 3, "Home Sweet Slum", and completing sidequests with her improves Cloud's affection mechanics score with her. This makes her an option for a scene in the quest " Resolve ", along with Barret and Aerith.

Tifa is also the player-controlled party leader during the quest " Acquiring the Keycard " in Chapter 16, " The Belly of the Beast ", and later in Chapter 17, " Deliverance from Chaos ", leads a party with Aerith in the quest series " Find the Others ". The motif is interpolated in numerous tracks throughout the soundtrack, including in an electronic mix named "Smash 'Em, Rip 'Em" as Aerith and Tifa confront Don Corneo.

Tifa is a frequent guest character who has appeared in the following games throughout the Final Fantasy series :. Tifa is depicted in the Monk job, and makes use of her limit breaks from the original game. Her most notable appearance is as a playable character in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, in which she first appeared in Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Aside from this, Tifa appears in a number of other crossover titles throughout Final Fantasy , second only to Cloud as the most frequently represented character from Final Fantasy VII. Tifa's appearance in Kingdom Hearts II.

Tifa's most notable guest appearance is in Kingdom Hearts II , in which she has a minor role. Tifa is depicted in her Leather Suit attire, and both has a minor role in the story, as well as appear as a boss battle. Aside from this, Tifa is a playable character in the fighting game Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring , with the title "Summoner".

Outside of video games, Tifa has appeared in many episodes of Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy web series as a combatant against characters from the Dead or Alive video game series. She has also appeared in the two music videos Monty Oum created for the show. In the episode, Tifa performs her usual techniques against Yang, and begins the episode works as barmaid, alluding to her occupation.

When Zack suggests "7th Heaven," the man loves the name and suggests getting "a young girl with a big bosom and long legs" to work the bar. Tifa Lockhart is among the names used in example sentences for the chat log filtering configuration in Final Fantasy XIV. Tifa has appeared as an outfit in other video games. This includes in the online game Mainichi Issho now discontinued as well as the arcade game Gunslinger Stratos 2. She appears in season 1, episode 16, "Gaming's Next Top Princess".

She also makes an appearance on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken. She appears in season 2, episode 8, in the skit "Final Fantasy Burger Chain", where she plays an unspecified co-worker to Cloud.

The music video was never aired on Korean television again and singer Ivy was sued by Square Enix for copyright infringement. Tifa has appeared in numerous merchandise for Play Arts and others, including action figures and statues, key chains, Coca-Cola bottle cap figurines , and even a Potion can and a Zippo lighter. Designed by Tetsuya Nomura , the concept of Tifa was first created when the idea was suggested that, at some point within the game, a character would be permanently killed off.

When it was decided to have Aerith die , attention went into developing her character and her relationships with the other characters; this resulted in the idea to introduce Tifa as a rival for Cloud's affections. The notion of having two concurrent heroines and the protagonist torn between them was something director Yoshinori Kitase liked, describing it as something new in the Final Fantasy games.

Tifa's attire was designed to give her freedom of movement due to her affinity to weaponless fighting. Her miniskirt, was noted as being "quite short" to give her "a considerable degree of exposure". For Advent Children , Takeshi Nozue had difficulty developing a framework for Tifa's body that was "balanced, yet showed off her 'feminine qualities'".

Her outfit was redesigned with emphasis on expressing her physical qualities while being pleasing to the eye. Her hair was cropped due to the difficulty of animating her original length of hair, as well as problems that arose due to its dark color and lighting. For Remake , Tifa was designed with an eastern-styled look as opposed to Aerith's western-styled look.

The developers wanted Tifa to have an athletic body type. The ethics department at Square Enix told the developers to "tighten her chest as not to get unnatural during all the intense action. Her costume was designed to be realistic visually, taking real designs of clothes and accessories for reference. Her suspenders were inspired by military suspenders, while her gloves were inspired by those used for riding bikes and fighting. For Tifa's alternate Wall Market dresses, the developers chose the Chinese-style and kimono dress to provide a cultural flair.

Other ideas included a dancer outfit, maid outfit, police uniform, or a chocobo bikini. In early drafts of Final Fantasy VII , Tifa was a background character, with her role in Avalanche being to support everyone behind the scenes and cheer them up after missions.

She would also have had a large scar on her back caused by Cloud, and partial amnesia from the incident when she had received it. The original depiction of Cloud and Tifa's "moment" under the Highwind in Final Fantasy VII was more suggestive: following a fade-out scene, Cloud was to walk out of the airship's chocobo stable followed shortly by Tifa who would check around as she left, implying the two had spent the night together.

In Advent Children , Tetsuya Nomura and Kazushige Nojima focused on developing the emotional backbone her character is to the cast. They ensured to portray her as a modern woman who can function without a man. Nojima described her character "very much like any woman who's been left behind by a man", while Nomura described her as multidimensional, calling her "like a mother, a sweetheart, and a close ally in battle" and "remarkably strong, not only emotionally, but physically as well".

For Remake , Aerith and Tifa were written and presented as double heroines, as the team wished to avoid playing favorites. The scenario was in the game until the latter half of development, but was cut due to time constraints. Nomura additionally noted that after completing Tifa's updated design they debated on her finalized details, but once Ito had been cast for the role, they chose to blend many traits from the voice actress into the character's completed appearance.

In an interview for Kingdom Hearts II , Cook described Tifa as a "very cool character, both very strong physically and emotionally, but also very sensitive", and "really multi-dimensional". She described Tifa as a goal for who she wants to be due to her physical traits and personality, [] while also calling her a "more realistic picture" of what women are to her compared to other video game characters, saying Tifa shows that there is "more to being a woman than just who do you have a crush on".

Tifa has received an extremely positive reaction from critics and the fanbase, ranking among the best characters in gaming. She was voted as the fifth-best female character in video games among GameSpot readers in , [] ranked as the 19th-best video game character of all time by Famitsu readers in , [] and the ninth-best Final Fantasy character in the All Final Fantasy Big Vote in Tifa has received praise as a strong female character, due to her physical strength and layered writing.

Writing for Complex , Gus Turner called her "one of gaming's most independent and empowered females ever" next to Lara Croft and Samus Aran. Tifa's popularity has also stemmed from her sex appeal. She was named the pinup girl of the "cyber generation" by The New York Times in , described as an example of a strong, independent, and attractive female character.

He continued that her story was easily overlooked by the game's audience as the story "reflects adult anxieties and concerns", questioning if students in junior high school would understand why she had to "keep a violent, unstable, compulsive liar in her life, because otherwise she has no tangible connection to the majority of her past experiences".

Tifa's name is pronounced with a long "e" Tee -fa rather than a short "i" Tiff -a. Tifa's last name, Lockhart, might be a reference to Tifa's reserved nature and hiding away her feelings for Cloud, "locking" them within her heart, or to her role in unlocking Cloud's psyche later in the game. Tifa's surname in the original English localization of Final Fantasy VII is "Lockheart", as seen in the manuals and official strategy guides for the game, though the surname is not found within the game itself.

The only exception is the official website, which used "Lockhart". Final Fantasy Wiki Explore. Old Sharlayan Thavnair Garlemald The moon. Characters Jobs Races. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Tifa Lockhart. View source. History Talk August 1,
