Ballistics and calling people retards.

Nothing

GREAT TRACTS OF LAND

She's deceptively innocent. She looks like a slut, but is actually a childhood friend and is more or less as "aw shucks" as cloud is.

Huge tits while having a good personality to go along with jt

character that didnt equate to "muh vagina"

She's has beauty and personality (by FF standards). Most female characters only have one or the other.

nostalgia
memes in a time where the mean age was close to the min/max and challenging it made someone look like a square

Didn't take herself too seriously and wasn't ashamed of the way she looks.

Also wasn't designed by people that care about form over function. She was designed to tittilate and two decades later she remains prime fap material.

Sweet kicks.

She's just cool.

Cool design.
Great personality, compared to the rest.
And she literally just beat the shit out of giant monsters with her fists.

To this day, I'll back that she had the coolest fight in Advent Children.

Breasts
Suspenders
Friendly smile

She had a 3d model in a time where we were transitioning from 2d games.

For reference, in case some of you haven't watched it in a long time.

She basically has the personality of a normal person with no eccentricities or unique or unusual aspects.

I forgot how bad this movie was

It was bad, but this fight was actually pretty cool. Too bad the villain comes off as a faggy mommy's boy.

Sort of like Sephiroth.

She's pretty well rounded if you know what I mean.

Meaning she has a good balance of traits with no annoying agenda to push. She's sexy but isn't just eye candy. She's strong and capable but isn't some angsty "don't need no man" cunt. She has her moments of vulnerability and doesn't get angry if offered help, and caring enough to help her loved ones when they're vulnerable.

Wow, that fight's way worse than I remembered it being. Hard to follow jump cuts everywhere, and no sense that anything actually hurts anybody.

Let me tell you why Sup Forums loves Tifa so much.

Cloud is a loser. He had all the social grace of a rock and had absolutely no idea as to how to make friends. He tried to make excuses by pretending he was better than everyone else, but was basically an awkward, lonely loser. When he tried to make something of himself, he failed and was crushed by the harshness of reality, so he withdrew into himself, not really making any friends at his job. His first friend was Zack, a cheerful, outgoing extrovert who was willing to reach out to this pathetic sad sack. Then he died and Cloud went crazy.

Tifa is the normie with the patience and kindness of a saint who is willing to put up with Cloud's awkwardness and unsociability, completely devoted to him and willing to do whatever it takes to help him overcome his problems, accepting him with all his flaws and loving him unconditionally. And she's drop dead gorgeous.

She is everything a lonely, pathetic, virgin loser could ever want.

That's kinda cute

yep

big thiddies and cartoon proportions

>tfw no Tifa in your life

The ability to power bomb a t-rex

>tfw you lost your Tifa
still can't get over it

too close man

Literally me

...

I never liked Tifa due to how convenient she was. She was everything that Cloud ever needed at any given moment. She was his only friend, then his greatest support, then his therapist and healer, then his lover. It's like her only real purpose in the story was to fix all of Cloud's problems.

Nothing really. Sure she's hot but her character is bland as fuck. The whole childhood friend thing doesn't even work considering her and Cloud barely spoke as children.

This is probably the most painfully accurate explanation for Tifa's popularity I have ever seen.

My fantasy for the final battle in VIIRemake is a Sephiroth battle on the same scale as the battle at the end of Advent Children.

Basically turning into a Bayonetta boss fight.

>tfw you will probably never have somebody in your life who will care for you this much
Kill me

Confidence ALONGSIDE purity.

>innocence
She wasn't dumb. She knows stuff. It isn't innocence that makes her personality attractive.

fucking hell, man

Character development, an interesting and well-rounded personality, and a reason and investment in the setting and plot happening around her.

Plus she acts very differently than most people think she does, she's not very confident and nearly self-hating.

But it's not just blind dedication, she knows (or thinks she knows or hopes) that Cloud is worth it beneath the awkwardness, it's not just because Cloud is in the protagonist seat.

That's half-bullshit.

Cloud is that way at first.
During the game, though, he is socially capable, as his NPC interactions are just fine.

psychoanalyze aerith fan please

...

A slut

Her overall balance is great without becoming a Mary Sue.

Aerisfags obviously have a urge to fuck a corpse

Necrophilia

They just like women with holes that they can stick things in.

Both of these
>Was the top student of a martial arts master and doesn't gloat or even mention it
>Fairly attractive and very buxom and doesn't really flaunt it (I'll concede she does wear a low cut top and a short skirt, along with armoured gloves and sleeves).
>Fairly mild mannered and caring, will usually want to do the common-sense approach to things, admits she was kind of a bitch when she a kid

An actual female character and feminity.

I'm not kidding, every fucking female character in modern games are always try hard "BADASS DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM NO ONE" Stereotype.

It feels like devs just write strong female protags these days to be the same kind of anti feminity female character.

A competent writer

Except Cloud is also handsome and was at least smart and fit enough to make it into the army. He even got unlucky/lucky enough to get experimented on by Hojo to make him a superhuman.

Cloud pre-Shinra was a kid shining with a dream. When he found out about his shortcomings/the reality of not being able to achieve his dreams, he got much more modest and a little defeatist sure, but he never turned into a NEET loser like you think. He got seriously fucked up at the end, and was literally found by chance by Tifa when he was discarded. It's no wonder that he ended up having a fucked up personality.

Tifa felt personally responsible for Cloud becoming a retard since she knew Zack personally and knew Cloud was living a lie, but she knew that telling him the truth would break him. She suffered and hesitated until it was too late and Cloud got fucked again.

Tifa is a flawed, second-guessing regret-filled character. People that like her for the reasons you listed obviously don't know how she actually acts or don't even like FF7.

A personality.

Yeah, all those characters feel literally the same. They act the same and have the same mannerism furthermore they often look like dykes

...

god bless that user

>She suffered and hesitated until it was too late and Cloud got fucked again.

And if she had confronted him earlier, he would've ended up like the other Numbers/experiments. Dead in a ditch.

Why does no one get this? She knew when was a good point to confront him.

It's an unwinnable situation, bring it up and he breaks, or leave it go and watch him fuck up. But the latter at the time had many more consequences than just Cloud falling apart.

>Oh fuck it's anodda Tifa thread
>better get my dick out, it's fapping time!

This thread isn't at all how I imagined it

And, granted, there's a bit of chance that she didn't confront him prior plus the fact that Sephiroth forced her hand.

Still, she had the sheer force of will and tact to keep Cloud strong and focused during Sephiroth's little reveal.

>liking women only for their physical qualities

You must be 18 or older to post here. And it's a blue board, dingus.

every Tifa thread turns into a softcore image dump. That's enough for me to get my dick going, mate.This one however is fucking depressing

>wahhh muh porn dump ad nauseum that's on every hentai site ever

Nothing.

You do know Tifa isn't the only big-breasted video game character right?

>Tifa
>personality

Old school female characters: ISFJ&ESFP
Modern female characters: ENTJ&ENFP

Sorry user, I have errands to do and you came at a bad time, the east coasters are still on, you know the majority of em are cunts

>liking women

Check out this faggot.

>every fucking female character in modern Western games
FTFY

Japanese games don't have that problem.

Is that her tongue sticking out or an open mouth?

>east coaster scum
Disgusting.
