Tifa looked Asian back in Advent Children, but in Remake and Rebirth she looks more Jewish and not Asian at all.
Is Tifa supposed to be Asian or is Tifa supposed to be Jewish?
Tifa
Asians and Jews don't exist in final fantasy 7
Either way, why does she look like a completely different ethnicity after the events of Final Fantasy VII? Or is one canon and one is not canon? Is the newest, more Jewish looking Tifa the canon Tifa, or is the more Asian Tifa the canon Tifa?
It doesn't matter
Easiest way to find out is for me to make a baby with her and judge the race of the baby.
I don't really think that's true. Or, I disagree anyway. A character's ethnicity looking completely different between iterations of their character is something people get up in arms about normally.
Personally, I liked Advent Children Tifa. Not that there's anything wrong with Remake Tifa, but I just don't understand why one has clearly Asian features while the other one looks more "white".
Sephi(((roth))) believes he's part of a greater race and sets out in search of a promised land because he read it in a book
Hmm
Aerith Gains(((berg)))
Maybe you're on to something. I didn't even think about that.
it's Gainsborough, named based on a famous french singer
It doesn't matter what ethnicity she is, you'll never have a chance with a girl like Tifa anyway lmao.
it doesn't matter
Why does no one seem to care what Tifa looks like or that her appearances are inconsistent? Both of them are also Nomura so it makes even less sense.
Tifa was only attractive in her original design.
This is literally the only scene in the entire game where Tifa looks weird.
You know that, we know that, you know that we know that... yet you posted it anyway.
I JUST SAVED YOU FROM SEPHIROTH
This is literally the only scene in the entire game where Tifa looks weird.
looks weird
...do you think Jewish people "look weird", anon? I didn't say that. I just prefer Advent Children Tifa's more Asian characteristics and I don't understand why the same person (Nomura) would choose to give her more clearly Asian features in an earlier appearance while choosing to give her more "white" characteristics in a later appearance.
Also, Tifa just looks like that. She just looks significantly less Asian than she did in Advent Children, to the point that she might even look predominantly "white", possibly Jewish.
Her and Sephiroth's name are Jewish. Tifaret.
wutai nigga
I'll post a few more of best Tifas (Asian)
So far, no one seems to have been able to tell me whether Asian Tifa or Jewish Tifa are the canon Tifa, or why Nomura decided to make her Asian in Advent Children while making her Jewish in Remake. The only thing anyone has said is that it doesn't matter or they have just flat out denied the obvious difference.
peefa
Ah yes advent children Tifa
She was already perfect in Dissidia, dunno why they changed her so drastically.
It's a case of everyone looking Asian in AC. Even Barret.
Tifa is supposed to be inspired by Jen Connelly and well
She [Jennifer] is the only child[3] of Ilene Carol[4] (née Schumann;[5] 1942[6]–2013), an antique dealer,
Sephiroth if he Texan
So does this mean the Jewish Tifa in Remake is the "canon" Tifa, and that Tifa being Asian was wrong? That's unfortunate. I really liked Asian Tifa in AC, but at least now we're getting somewhere.
Yeah, nu Tifa totes looks jewish in the remake
I'm glad we agree, but I don't know why you posted Asian 3DPD. This is a thread about Tifa and how her newest iteration looks more "white" (possibly Jewish) than a previous Nomura iteration (Advent Children), who very clearly looked Asian.
Jews definitely exist in FFVII since the plot revolves around the jewish sephirot (tree of life)
Tifa is supposed to be inspired by Jen Connelly
proof?
he's named aftrer the sephirot. Jenovah is just another interpretation of the tetragrammaton or the jewish name for God
Old Tifa is.
New Tifa is 100% based on Anri Okina.
Your narrative doesn't really make sense because "New Tifa", as in Remake Tifa, looks much "whiter" (possibly Jewish) than Advent Children Tifa, who very clearly looks Asian. There is nothing about Remake Tifa that makes me go "yup, she's Asian". When I look at Remake Tifa, I think "hmm... is she "white"? is she mixed? What is she mixed with? Cuz she's definitely not pure Asian"
Tifa looks 100% Asian.
Tifa looks 100% Asian.
In Advent Children, yeah. Not in Remake though.
That's the premise of the thread. Remake Tifa looks Jewish or something. Definitely not "100% Asian"
Why are you like this?
sweet, schizo waifufag thread
Isn't Wutai technically supposed to be China equivalent
who cares Yuffie is better anyway
Yes. The ninjas, samurais and cherry blossoms land is China.
What do you mean? I'm just using my eyes. Pic related is Tifa when she was Asian. The Remake Tifa that you posted is some sort of mix, possibly Jewish. Remake Tifa is definitely not 100% Asian like the other anon tried to say.
White, but Jewish of those two is more appropriate because of Tifereth.
You honestly deserve to be beaten until you can never make another thread like this again.
name is Tifa Lockhart
She's probably Anglo Saxon.
I say this because there's a character named Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter.
True. Yuffie is also Asian, like Advent Children Tifa was.
[Jewish looking Remake Tifa] is more appropriate because of Tifereth
What is Tifereth?
I will never be capable of understanding what has driven you to write this comment. I just posted 2 versions of the same character and noted the obvious difference and wish to discuss it. You don't have to be so upset about it.
I think you're just seeing things that you want to see
Tifa is still clearly Asian
I think she's named after Thomas Gainsborough, the English painter. Not that it matters, by codings she's a Romanian gypsy in Sweden.
The part of Jewish Kabbalah that named Sephiroth, Tifa and Aerith. Tifereth split in two makes the latter two.
I think you're just seeing things that you want to see
What does this even mean? Are you saying that you see zero ethnic difference between Advent Children Tifa and Remake Tifa? Are you saying that you cannot see how Advent Children Tifa is clearly much more obviously Asian than Remake Tifa might be?
Tifa is still clearly Asian
Sure, maybe, but it's obviously some mix, possibly Jewish. She looks "white". I just think it's a really weird choice to make for Remake considering that Nomura did both AC and Remake. I just don't understand why he'd choose to make Tifa an obviously visibly different ethnicity.
google "Tiferet"
it's actually a thing
Jewish concept
it actually sounds like "Tifa Aerith"
"Sefirot" is also a Jewish concept
Huh. There's really a lot more going on here than I thought. It really does seem like the more Jewish looking depiction of Tifa in Remake might be the true Tifa after all. This design decision seems to actually grounded in reality, whereas maybe when Nomura worked on Advent Children he wasn't taking it that seriously. Very interesting.
Also, it looks like was just wrong. Or, maybe technically correct, but misleading for the current conversation. Obviously Jewish ideas are involved in Final Fantasy VII and perhaps might have led to Tifa's more Jewish looking appearance in Remake.
jenovah =jehova
most interesting thing in this thread.
it's just some guy going
asian tifa jewish tifa over and over.
i think she still looks asian in remake.
characters' designs change a lot in general.
it's not just tifa.
all the ff7 characters look different from their ac designs.
all the ff7 characters look different from their ac designs.
Well, right, it takes place after the events of Final Fantasy VII and everyone has an outfit change. However, Tifa, to me, is the one that is most noticeably a different ethnicity now in Remake. I've posted pictures as evidence.
Like, look at Yuffie (Asian). Looks basically the same in Advent Children and in Remake. Tifa (Asian) looks nothing like Tifa (Jewish).
i think yuffie looks different.
i'm just gonna have to disagree with you and move on.
i hope you can still find an appreciation for your waifu's design in remake.
tifa is a cool character.
good night, bro
biggest retard in this thread and boy, that is saying something
i think yuffie looks different.
They both look very obviously Asian. She looks basically the same.
Why does no one seem to care what Tifa looks like or that her appearances are inconsistent?
Tons of video game characters have inconsistent appearances. Jill Valentine has a completely different face in RE1, RE3, and the RE1 remake for example, and that's all in only 6 years
At this point people on this board will look at WW2 propaganda posters and go >why are they white what did they mean by this???
Are you saying that you see zero ethnic difference between Advent Children Tifa and Remake Tifa?
Yes.
She looks a little different, but not in any way that suggests her ethnicity has changed.
She looks "white"
She absolutely does not.
You clearly haven't seen many Asian people.
Tifa only looks Asian in AC, since she's modeled after her actress, because Nomura didn't give a fuck. They had to increase her bust size with ACC exclusive scenes, because of the complaints.
Tifa only looks Asian in AC, since she's modeled after her actress
Who?
Tifa in AC looks lifeless.
Tifa in the remake looks sexy as fuck.
got one on order, comes out mid june. i just hope they get the face right on the mass produced models
how are chinese companies allowed to make sex dolls of established characters?
Precisely because they are Chinese, they don't care
We're going to have Tifa's every where....
test
Tifa's what?
Why does Tifa look like Miyeon?
she looks more Jewish
The only jew she even slightly resembles is Mikey Madison, and even that's a serious reach. Have you seen a jew in your life?
True
Mikey as Tifa in a FF7 live action
She looks the exact same.
remake got it right
I like her as an actress and she could easily play the part, but I can't get behind it due to lack of rack.
