Here are 10 interesting facts about Tifa Lockhart in the Final Fantasy VII universe.
1. Initially it was not planned to be a playable character
Tetsuya Nomura as the director of Final Fantasy VII said that during the development of the original Final Fantasy VII, the developer only included Cloud, Barret and Aerith as the focus of the characters. However, when discussing that Aerith would be a dead character in the story, Nomura decided to bring Tifa into the story. In addition, having two heroines at the same time was something new in the Final Fantasy series.
2. Have concept art with white hair and red skirt
Yoshitaka Amano, who was instrumental in drawing the concepts and designs of almost all Final Fantasy characters, at that time depicted Tifa with white hair, and a red skirt and gloves. Although it is different from the final design as we know it today; Having black hair and skirt, some Final Fantasy spin-off games feature Tifa in the red skirt as an alternative costume.
3. Tifa's costume is tailored to her fighting characteristics
Although there is no official information regarding this matter, it can be seen that Tifa's costume itself was designed based on its characteristics as a close combat character or using hand-to-hand combat. The decision to give him minimal clothing; tank tops and skirts are of course not just to make her look sexy, but to give the impression that Tifa has to move flexibly in order to launch rapid consecutive attacks.
4. Designed with long legs
If you pay attention to all the visuals that show Tifa's body from top to bottom, of course you will realize that her legs contribute at least 60% of her body. This is believed to give the impression that Tifa is not only good as a bouncer, but also a kicker - able to use both legs to deliver attacks that are no less deadly.
5. Orphanage since childhood
Tifa is a character who has a sad background. One of them was when she was eight years old, Tifa had felt the sadness of losing her mother figure. Instead of letting go of her mother, Tifa believes that her mother is still alive on Mount Nibel. He is determined to go to the mountain in the hope that he can still meet his mother. Followed by Cloud who was worried for Tifa's safety, the two of them fell off the bridge and seriously injured Tifa.
6. Also lost his father
Not only did he lose his mother, his father Tifa - Brian Lockhart died leaving Tifa about five years later. In Final Fantasy VII Remake or the Last Order anime -Final Fantasy VII-, Tifa finds Brian lying helplessly with Sephiroth's Masamune sword covered in blood nearby. Brian forced Tifa to run away, but soon died.
7. Really hates Shinra and SOLDIER
Since the terrible disaster that befell her father, Tifa has a deep hatred for SOLDIER, Shinra, the Mako reactor and Sephiroth. This motivation is what makes Tifa join Avalanche - an eco-terrorist group that aims to save the planet from Shinra's actions in exploiting and misusing Mako's energy.
8. The meaning behind the name Lockhart
Although there is no official information regarding this matter, many fans assume that the name Lockhart comes from Lock Heart. Fans match the logic that the name is continuous with Tifa, who has feelings for Cloud, but has never been uttered. It can be seen of course that Tifa is jealous of Aerith who is so close to Cloud.
9. Warriors of Materia is representative of the Final Fantasy VII universe
Just like Cloud, Tifa is here to represent the Final Fantasy VII universe in the game Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.
