Man, you wanna see what Tifa means to fans? Listen to the cheer she gets when they show her for the first time on the E3 trailer. And a few moments later when they show her fighting.
Gave him therapy when he needed it the most. Wasnt a stranger either. Shes been there since the beginning. So shes certified more than anyone to put all the pieces of th the puzzle back together.
You all probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
I am very thankful for this video. I think Tifa is a much, much more complex character than for which she is given credit. The fact that she knows what really happened in Nibelheim, but knowingly goes along with Cloud’s neurosis because she knows he is fragile psychologically, emphasizes her caretaker role. I hope you do more videos like this; I enjoy this far more than the various mods, personally. I watch all of these review videos multiple times. I have loved the in-depth videos for a long time, it's what brought me to your channel!
I remember when I was 5, watching my older brother play FF7, I remember thinking how cool Tifa was. You had some dude with a sword bigger than himself, a man with a machine gun arm, and then there’s this chick who’s all “screw that, all I need is mah fists” I remember begging my parents to let me take karate just so I could learn how to fight like her. Never learned Final Heaven though....
15:24 Hold up. A short scene implying that Cloud and Tifa had sex is too extreme but a brothel, BDSM dungeon, walking through a total bloodbath in Shinra HQ and a giant snake impaled on a tree isn't???
Hahaha! While I completely agree with your statement, the decision to tone down any direct references to their romantic interactions was likely due to the directors wishing to have the love interests remain ambiguous and open to individual interpretation, more than concerns for censorship.
@@PsylightFF Yeah probably. But it's still strange because the scene that happens right after (where Tifa collapses from embarrassment because everyone one the Highwind "saw what happened") is still really suggestive.
@@MrDoomGuy93 You're not wrong. Perhaps they felt that younger audiences might attribute Tifa's embarassment to "omigosh, they saw us talking about heartfelt, personal things!"
Because man and woman doing the most natural thing in the world is among the most offensive things in the USA and perfectly normal everywhere else in the world. Show brutal violence in TV to little kids? -Perfectly okay. Nipples flash briefly? -people lose their shit and starts to riot.
Pretty sure she was the first female character I ever fell head over heels for. When I was maybe 5 or 6, When me and my neighborhood friends would play pretend wars, or pretend fighting, it was always to rescue Tifa. Or the winner would get to go on a pretend "date" with Tifa. (>ლ)
*Greatly contradicts her fighting style* Tifa, all the time: "Oh, it's nothing, hahahah...." Tifa, also all the time: "FALCON... PUAUAUAUAUAAAANNNNNCHHHH!!!"
The poster girl for any prepubescent boy back in the late 90s, next to Lara Croft. Awesome job, Death. You did an amazing job piecing together my second favorite Final Fantasy VII character.
Also, Tifa's "God's Hand" is one of the few weapons that has 255% accuracy, meaning that if it's equipped, Deathblow will almost always hit, giving Tifa a great option for dealing guaranteed critical hits without having to worry about status ailments.
Great video man. Tifa is my favorite female character in all media. Her kindness, gentleness, strength and loyality are worthy of true respect. Thanks for making this video.
The first time I saw Tifa I really didn't like her. I immediately saw her as the typical scantily clad, Japanese female character from every rpg and anime. I barely used her throughout the entire first half of the game. However, as the story progressed I found myself liking her more and more. She genuinely seemed to care about everyone despite being a huge introvert. The scene at the northern crater with Cloud is one of my favourite scenes in any game ever. There's none of the soppy teenage romance that we saw in later games in the series, instead it's just two people faced with probable death who finally struggle to tell each other their feelings. Love stories like this resonate a lot more with me because they feel more grounded in reality. By the end of the game Tifa had become my favourite ff7 character and one of my favourite characters of all time. Stellar video, but... did you really have to acknowledge that WoFF exists death?
Bro. Being a HUGE FF7 fan myself you are a god to me. I won’t get into the details about how this game shaped my childhood and holds a place in my heart forever but your videos are amazing. Keep it up. Don’t change a thing. ✌🏻
I always believed that since WEAPONs were created by the planet to protect it, that the only reason Sapphire attacked Junon was specifically to free Tifa and the others. Aerith was part of the planet at that point, so perhaps she was able to influence it just that little bit to help them out since they're the planets only hope.
I feel like, ever since FF7, I keep playing other entries in the series, searching for Tifa. I do believe that she, singlehandedly, is the reason why I got into JRPGs at all. Of course, the first time I played FF7 I was very young and didn't really understand what was going on, but you do feel the story all the same. She is such a complex character, something so unprecedented to me at the time, that my interest for her and her story cemented my love for this game. Now, with the remake, is like living that complexity with some additional strength. I had a knot in my throat the whole playthrough, because it is something oddly beautiful and emotional seeing all the scenes you pictured in your head unfold with acting and voice performance. Truly something else. I would like to thank you for this content, man. This video made me feel some nice things :)
It's even more amazing when we realize that Tifa was actually a later addition to the cast. When FFVII was first revealed, promo art didn't even have her included (only Cloud, Aerith, and Barret). The decision to create Tifa was made only when it was decided that Aerith would be killed off. Talk about striking gold during later-stage development; now she's arguably more popular than pretty much everyone else in the cast!
I just want to say that I think you did a great job with this video. I was initially just happy to see you doing an in-depth guide of one of my favorite characters. I saved watching this until now so I could savor it. You did the character justice, describing her from all angles, and fairly. This makes my night.
You forgot in design Nomura originally had 2 designs for Tifa one with a pair of pants and one which she became with a skirt, he left it up to the Square team for which they preferred.
Death, these videos are nothing short of fantastic. As my favourite game, there's nothing better than watching in-depth analytical material on specific aspects of the game -- crazy that we are still learning new things 21 years after release! Have you ever thought of doing a mechanics video? One that takes you through, step-by-step, the stats, how damage is calculated, how steals are made, various magic and ability mechanics, etc.. It's a video idea I've had in the back of my head for some years now. I must have read all three of TFergusson's FFVII GameFAQs mechanics guides -- Battle Mechanics, Party Mechanics, and Enemy Mechanics -- a good half a dozen each now, especially the stat heavy ones, as I'm a nerd for RPG statistics. Who knows, may get around to it one day. Would love to do one for each of the Final Fantasys actually, as some of them have very interesting ways of calculating damage, and calculating how stealing items is made possible. Again, keep up the fantastic work, Death. Xx A loyal fan from Scotland :-)
I'm very impressed to say the least we are still getting in depth video from the ff7 character even though the remake is already out and the game is 23 years old Truly a work for future generations
Omg... I watched advent children like literaly 50 times, but always in Russian or English dub. And I always thought that in that moment tifa said "going up?", like in a retorical joking maner....
Literally have your monomod playthrough paused on my TV because I saw this pop up on my phone. Love it, I still randomly watch your intro in Cid's because I laugh so hard every time it plays.
Great idea! Great Channel!! I dont know how or why I stumbled across your youtube page. but I am so thankful that I did, and for you to do these videos.
Love the passion you have for this game! Trumps even my own love for it along with many many others. One thing I do seem to be on my own with tho when it comes to the “original” story ( because the original story has been adapted an expanded more than once ) is the cloud you play in the game isn’t the cloud that tifa knew from childhood.. the original cloud dies while fighting sephiroth. He is a clone and no one likes the fact of it even though if you really listen to the game it tells you. No one from shinra would arrive at nibleheim to save clouds life for well... at least until reports got back of what happened and another squad dispatched to find out, if you can even remember having to travel in a convoy with sephiroth to get to nibelhiem then you can probably guess help ain’t coming quick enough. Unless of course you believe he survived for a few days after having his chest rammed through ( which by the way kills aerith almost instantly when the same thing happens to her ) and then also believe that 5 years disappear like nothing in the events that unfold in the “last order” anime. The fact he is a clone doesn’t go down well an I think square decided to squash that idea when people loved the fairytail ending. Personally i think it improves the storyline filling in a lot of plot holes an janky storytelling but I can’t be the only person that has played this game that can appreciate and accept it can I?
Im so obsessed with this game right now, and learning all of it. Where did games like this go everything about it is so beautiful it really touches my soul. This video just blew my mind dude thank you
As a kid I always thought that Tifa having slot machine styled limit breaks tied in to the “Slot machine” in her bar, before remembering it was a pinball machine and feeling stupid.
Fine work, Death. Thank you! I especially love 19:27. For me, this is worlds colliding. It's your tutorial and showing another FFVII streamer I enjoy: Carnage64! This is like Batman & Superman teaming up! It's the little things for me. I'm lobbying for you and him to combine forces and make a complete analysis or "making of" of the game! Should be an easy couple-hour project :)
Just signed on as a patreon supporter. I think I am overdue on this, as I have enjoyed your content for awhile. I love your In Depth work, especially this video to which I return frequently because it is well done. I also wanted to offer my praise of your Cait Sith video (I love FF7 lore, more than gameplay, and parsing what the heck IS Caith Sith / Reeve was great!).
Oh man, The hype train has arrived! So glad this series is going to be a regular thing on your channel! CAN I GET SOME FOAM FINGERS IN THE COMMENTS?!?!?!
This video was freaking awesome so much insight that I didn't know or was to young to understand properly. It's been a very long time since I played the Original FFVII game, makes me want to pick the again even-though the remake is already out.
Rachel Leigh Cook is my ultimate girl crush…. I didn’t know she voiced Tifa though. Mind kind of blown now. Made me like Tifa just a *little* bit more.
This is the best surprise!! Tifa is my favorite. The only thing that would make this day better is if you brought back the full Final Fantasy play through :P
I've always like Tifa more as a character in FF7 but I'm replaying FF7 again and I'm noticing how deep and complex her character is for the first time, (it's been about 15 years since I played FF7) and honestly, Tifa alone is making FF7 my favorite FF game and Tifa is actually becoming one of my favorite characters and especially after watching this video. I really hope the remake recaptures her right.
Awesome video death ! My favorite chatacter in the whole final fantasy world, and i didn't know half of the history, keep up the good work!! Can i suggest Elena for next in depth chapter? Sick intro btw
I'm always gonna remember her name as "Tifay" because when we were kids, and one of my brothers accidentally named her that. Which wasn't nearly as funny as my other brother who named Aeris "my penis". I'm like "why the hell did you do that?" he's like "it'll be funny later." and then at the end of the game cloud is like "You took my penis away from me!" talk about playing the long game.
I love your channel! I need to catch a live stream very soon. Love what you do with the ff7 challenges and mods! Your channel is such a feel good and nostalgic channel. I want Barrett next! Oh and PS I never skip the ads. True fan over here lol 😝
Been playing this game on and off since 98 and just now realized that Tifa is what Clouds mom suggested he marry. She becomes a caretaker to his fragile/fractured mind and even guides him back to his true self. Didn't catch if she was older though. Makes me like her even more :)
@@callmeshaggy5166 Tifa comes across as the more mature and maternal. When Cloud opens his eyes, the stars are reflected in them like at the 'promise' scene at the well with Tifa. Sometimes you're not meant to interpret every word literally. Edit: I've just gone back and rewatched the flashback scene, the music playing through it is "A Tower, A Promise." It's clear who Cloud's mind was on at the very least. Although tbh, I still don't think we should read too much into an offhand comment from Claudia, she wants what every mother wants for her son
Zack - Sephiroth - Cloud concept Jenova cells in cloud body can mimic other people personality Cloud actually have 3 persona 1. Zack persona : cool, self confident, strong mentality 2. Sephiroth persona : cold hearted soldier 3. Cloud real persona : warm, caring and lack of life experience This 3 combinations create a new persona/fake cloud persona
for me the most impressive thing is Cloud, a lowly weak infantryman, bested Sephiroth sure it was a sneaky backstab, but damn, it was a nice reveal for me at the time. also, a FAILED clone, was better than an alien sort of symbiote of damn near un-rivaled power.
And Death gave me a cookie?!?! My life is complete... Level with ya real quick. I've been following ya in one way or another since that first Mastering materia quickly. I've loved your content always, you've helped me explain stuff I know about this game to others cause I suck at explaining things. So THANK YOU DEATH for all the love to this game... And I have an idea for a later stream/LP... FFVI No Esper run?
Ff7 alone is close to perfect but I still cant wait for the remake and the purge of the compilations “cannon”. The movie was... fine i guess... but I’m hopeful they can make something more satisfying with the extended story.
Amazing video, on a wonderful character. A minor correction on the name "Tiffany" though; it doesn't mean trinity in Greek, it derives from the Greek word for Epiphany which is Theophania.
Sapphire Weapon came specifically for saving Tifa. No way was the planet going to sit by and watch best girl be executed
There was NO way that weapon was gonna let somebody with a rack like that simply die like that 😭 😭 😭
Best girl was executed. Tifa was just what was left.
Seeing the new rebirth trailer, you may be spot on lol
Playing rn and u were Spot on even tho IT happens differently
Man, you wanna see what Tifa means to fans? Listen to the cheer she gets when they show her for the first time on the E3 trailer. And a few moments later when they show her fighting.
Tifa's Monologue was in the life-stream. She put Cloud back together.
this.
Gave him therapy when he needed it the most. Wasnt a stranger either. Shes been there since the beginning. So shes certified more than anyone to put all the pieces of th the puzzle back together.
I always thought monologues were speeches meant for the individual saying them
@@scottfrye Sigh. Engage brain, then type.
@@philbecker4676 touch grass.
Tifa: *falls into lifestream*
Aerith: “you’re my living legacy”
Lol never seen in that way, Aerith could be Tifa's equivalent of Zack
alternatively: “Hi Tifa! Long time no see! I’ve been getting quite lonely.”
You all probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

You should still be proud. It takes a lot of effort to even reach the martial excellence of the legendary Dolphin Blow.
"Her true power is in the two other weapons she weilds"
...
Lol
I guess that AVALANCHE equipped her with ballistics
Try pairing those with Dolphin Blow...
Those aren't weapons.
They are clearly stated to be life saving flotation devices.
Get with it man.

The way the overworld theme swells when Cloud takes off the ShinRa grunt helmet
Moments like that are what made FF7 timeless.
Agreed Clouds truth is my favomoment in the game. Hope the Renaje project remembers what made it so special.
Tifa gets the deserved close up analysis. Great job.
*Greatly contradicts her fighting style*

*Lara
Mine was Tifa, Ayanami Rei, Quistis, Rinoa, Katsuragi Misato, Akane (Ranma 1/2), and the 2 chicks from You're Under Arrest
That music is so soothing, it really goes well for her character
The mother of the group, truly reflects the genius of Nobuo san
HEY! Sapphire WEAPON is self-conscious about the size of his beams you know!
It's also stupid enough to stand in front of a gigantic cannon with it's face in front of the barrel LOL
Did it know what a giant cannon is?
I'm glad I'm me then because my beam cannon is something to be desired by both all you boys and of course the ladies.
Also, Tifa's "God's Hand" is one of the few weapons that has 255% accuracy, meaning that if it's equipped, Deathblow will almost always hit, giving Tifa a great option for dealing guaranteed critical hits without having to worry about status ailments.
"floatation device"
I mean why did the party even bother getting the tiny broco, they could have just used Tifa.
LOL I didn't know they floated in water :)
Kudos to you sir!
Because there would have only been room for Tifa and 2 "passengers"
I mean, I too, would like to ride Tifa.

On a website notorious for its shitty commenters and even shittier comments, a lone hero stands up and speaks a truth unmatched by any other. 👏
Spanky's Pizza No it was an inherently terrible comment because it involves “shipping”
AMEN
We all know Cloud's pansexual.
@@vegetafan9922 Pansexual isn't a real thing
This was amazing. learned something new about one of my favorites characters of the series. Cant wait to see more of these.
Oh man, The hype train has arrived! So glad this series is going to be a regular thing on your channel!
CAN I GET SOME FOAM FINGERS IN THE COMMENTS?!?!?!
Foam fingers
Foam fingaaaaaa
You want a thumb or a finger?
This video was freaking awesome so much insight that I didn't know or was to young to understand properly.
It's been a very long time since I played the Original FFVII game, makes me want to pick the again even-though the remake is already out.
Give it a shot!
Such a great video, it's great to see that this will be a proper series now.
My waifu to this day...TO THIS DAY.
Rachel Leigh Cook is my ultimate girl crush…. I didn’t know she voiced Tifa though. Mind kind of blown now. Made me like Tifa just a *little* bit more.
HOLY **** A NEW VIDEO IM WATCHING THIS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM TAKING THE KIDS OUT TRICK R TREATING
This is the best surprise!! Tifa is my favorite. The only thing that would make this day better is if you brought back the full Final Fantasy play through :P
How can anyone not love this game. Its touched soo many people.
When i saw this i started weeping with joy thank you!!!!
I've always like Tifa more as a character in FF7 but I'm replaying FF7 again and I'm noticing how deep and complex her character is for the first time, (it's been about 15 years since I played FF7) and honestly, Tifa alone is making FF7 my favorite FF game and Tifa is actually becoming one of my favorite characters and especially after watching this video. I really hope the remake recaptures her right.
Awesome video death ! My favorite chatacter in the whole final fantasy world, and i didn't know half of the history, keep up the good work!! Can i suggest Elena for next in depth chapter?
Sick intro btw
10 people shipping cloud and aerith downvoted this video hahaha
Amazing video brother. Congrats for the 40k !!!!
I'm always gonna remember her name as "Tifay" because when we were kids, and one of my brothers accidentally named her that. Which wasn't nearly as funny as my other brother who named Aeris "my penis". I'm like "why the hell did you do that?" he's like "it'll be funny later." and then at the end of the game cloud is like "You took my penis away from me!"
talk about playing the long game.
I love your channel! I need to catch a live stream very soon. Love what you do with the ff7 challenges and mods! Your channel is such a feel good and nostalgic channel. I want Barrett next!
Oh and PS I never skip the ads. True fan over here lol 😝
Been playing this game on and off since 98 and just now realized that Tifa is what Clouds mom suggested he marry. She becomes a caretaker to his fragile/fractured mind and even guides him back to his true self. Didn't catch if she was older though. Makes me like her even more :)
Tifa is a year younger than Cloud, while Aerith is a year older. It's definitely meant to reference Aerith, and plays while sleeping at her house.
@@callmeshaggy5166 Tifa comes across as the more mature and maternal. When Cloud opens his eyes, the stars are reflected in them like at the 'promise' scene at the well with Tifa. Sometimes you're not meant to interpret every word literally.
Edit: I've just gone back and rewatched the flashback scene, the music playing through it is "A Tower, A Promise." It's clear who Cloud's mind was on at the very least. Although tbh, I still don't think we should read too much into an offhand comment from Claudia, she wants what every mother wants for her son
Been waiting ages for the next in depth
Finally someone who understands the whole Zack-Cloud concept...
Zack - Sephiroth - Cloud concept
Jenova cells in cloud body can mimic other people personality
Cloud actually have 3 persona
1. Zack persona : cool, self confident, strong mentality
2. Sephiroth persona : cold hearted soldier
3. Cloud real persona : warm, caring and lack of life experience
This 3 combinations create a new persona/fake cloud persona
Tifa has a modern version of her Powersoul buff in Rebirth. If you use HPMP and precision defense materia, you can charge a limit break in 3 blocks.
Please do an "in depth look" on all the Bahamut summons in FFVII, including the version in advent children
Big fan. Thanks for all of the great content.
Thanks!
Tifa was my waifu, even before it was famous
for me the most impressive thing is Cloud, a lowly weak infantryman, bested Sephiroth sure it was a sneaky backstab, but damn, it was a nice reveal for me at the time.
also, a FAILED clone, was better than an alien sort of symbiote of damn near un-rivaled power.
Thank you Death!!! Been waiting patiently for this series to pick back up! Can I get a cookie for not bothering you once about it?
🍪
And Death gave me a cookie?!?! My life is complete... Level with ya real quick. I've been following ya in one way or another since that first Mastering materia quickly. I've loved your content always, you've helped me explain stuff I know about this game to others cause I suck at explaining things. So THANK YOU DEATH for all the love to this game... And I have an idea for a later stream/LP... FFVI No Esper run?
I love this channel. Thank you man.
Love it, definitely a patron now!
Another amazing vid Death! keep them coming! :)
Ff7 alone is close to perfect but I still cant wait for the remake and the purge of the compilations “cannon”. The movie was... fine i guess... but I’m hopeful they can make something more satisfying with the extended story.
fine i'll say it. advent children was garbage.
You have great hair. And good videos. In that order.
Very well done deep dive 👍
Awesome these are here! Keep up the great work
In depth reno! Cool video death, good stuff
Amazing video, on a wonderful character. A minor correction on the name "Tiffany" though; it doesn't mean trinity in Greek, it derives from the Greek word for Epiphany which is Theophania.
Nice I can't wait for more of these episodes :)
