As of 2020 she now has less tits than Yuffie and Aerith.
Nevermind the stupid modesty patch over the cleavage either
Are Asian woman known for their huge tits though? And the version with the largest breasts isn't even the original, but the one from 2007. And they are small to modest at best.
The tits only got smaller and smaller since 1997. That's a terrible picture, but it's only FMV shot of her in that oufit.
As for breast sizes in Japan... Tifa isn't from Japan. She's from Nibelheim.
Not only am I not seeing that in the the first image, I'm not seeing that anywhere on the internet.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Did you never play the original?
Her name is TIFA. LOCKHEART.
Does that sound like a Japanese name to you? Japan does not even exist in universe.
Now find the small breasts. And find me the original source from the first image for actual comparison. Then cross reference it with the rest of the art in the new game for consistency. Then watch this nonsense in it's entirety.
And no I am not going to entertain the idea that she is not drawn as an Asian woman, or that the people of Nibelheim are defined as having big tits. That's an Asian woman created by a Japanese artist.
Then it's an Asian woman with big boobs created by a Japanese artist. Not sure what your point is. They exist.
So lets say, you were 12 years old in 1997, and this rough collection of polygons defines your ideal view of a woman. And now 25 years later you are 37 years old and this is an important topic that must be addressed! Because you don't like Japanese woman with modest breasts. And this is an injustice because Tifa's most notable characteristics are those held within her brazier.
Due to this, we must now rally behind this great cause, and send angry tweets to the artist because you once touched yourself while holding a PS1 controller! And 37 year old you is disappointed at this flagrant abuse of your passage from childhood to pud jerking teenager? K. Let me know what your point is. Because as it stands it's "TITS"!
I linked a screenshot from FF7. You linked a random selection from every Tifa image on the internet regardless of its source. We are not the same.
No, Yuffie Kisaragi is the 'Asian' woman. Not that Asia fucking exists in FF7.
A one tract mind. I'll give you this much. You are focused.
And Yuffie Kisaragi is from Wutai which is somewhat inspired by Japan so if anyone is meant to be representative of Japanese women it's her.
They are known for having a range beyond one singular size, and Ms Lockhart of Nibelheim western mansion town was clearly meant to appear less asian than miss Kisaragi of Wutai shinto tower town.
Tits. Yes. If I had known that this would be the topic occupying my entire morning. I would have never gotten up.
Sounds like it was a... Questionable choice!
Am I right? Am I right? Ehh? Ehh?
But seriously, you go into an article about a woman's chest size in contrast to her other appearances, and the conversation is about the woman's chest size in contrast to her other appearances, yes. I don't see how that surprises you at all. Are you so used to Reddit that a thread staying ON-topic for more than a few hours is astonishing?
This isn't an article. It is a forum thread. And I'm Questioning it's validity. Is that not allowed? Am I to only support the topic in a positive manner, or am I allowed a dissenting option here on c/KotakuInAction2?
The site that I have not been a member of for 8 years, where contrary opinions are so suppressed that KotakuInAction2 had to flee their website? Because you have stated this as a fact? Is that actually how your reality works? I suppose you unironically assume down votes = wrong, and that up votes = opinion you should automatically support as well.... Just like reddit... Or am I getting that wrong as well?
I am on topic. Though I assure you the topic is not limited to "TITS!" Do you not find anything odd about this topic? Like you've had it before, like it's the only topic you are allowed to discuss? 1997!
Fictional characters don't have to be representative of the average person from the country of their artist. And it's not like Japanese women are incapable of ending up with huge tracts of land anyway.
Yeah they are. The only Japanese chicks with big boobs are fake
Right, but the artist must appease your ideals. Even if those ideals can be summed up as "I like big tits"?
The original is an iconically well endowed video game woman. The original design should still be respected, even if they're forced to make some adjustments for the new art style. And the love of massive melons isn't an ideal. It's a refined taste.
So true! Now with that in mind, compare the first image from 1997 to the end image on the right showing 2022. And detail me all the ways it does not respect it's iconic attributes and appearance. Give me a list! And make it a big one! I want to know all the ways they've tarnished her great image! (And for the love of God, don't just copy paste the word "tits" 20 times)
First image lacks the sports bra in the fourth, which is also lacking in the third. Character never used to wear one and she hardly looks like she would need one here anyway.
tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits tits (that's 21 times, and I typed them.)
She's noticably smaller than even the second image, at least from the angle we're given. I don't expect teenage Tifa to have titanic tits (22), but she shouldn't be nearly flat either.
You missed hair color.
Why do you hate tits? Stop shaming male sexuality.
I love tits. What I don't like is forced discourse and low effort threads meant to drive traffic for the purposes of engagement. Especially those meant to homogenize the conversation into such basic concepts and narratives as "Big tits good, small tits bad!"
Questions! Do you actually think that me pondering the actual size difference of a poorly rendered in game art asset is me somehow "shaming male sexuality? Or are you offended that I used the words "big tits" Are those your words? Am I not allowed to use them? Is it dirty when I use them. Did I ruin this for you?
Strawman and special pleading. The complaint is that women are being made uglier in games. Which they are. Its being done to make games appeal more to people who don't actually play them (i.e. games journalists).
You actually find the depiction on the right to be "uglier" than the other 3 images? Am I getting this straight? And the general consensus is that the breast size is the deciding factor in her attractiveness?
Right. Because to drive sales you create unattractive characters, and small breasts= ugly? Got it.
I'm sorry. There isn't actually anything here we can debate. As, none of that makes any sense to me. In my book, you don't even know what a game is. Hint: it involves game play! And Square Enix is not a game developer. And they don't actual make "games".

It's a retarded argument.
Here's the original concept art. Quite the A cups there:
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Tifa_Lockhart/Gallery?file=Tifa-FFVIIArt.png#Artwork
And what exactly is the argument? What is the point here? The purpose of this thread?
Your words, Calling her boobs small, modest sized when they are clearly D cups
Marvelous! Your attention to detail is lost on me however.
Wow. That was awful. Please don't ever do that to me again.
Now you look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93-_r0w7ykI
And there are even large muscular Chinese men. But they are the outliers. Now read through all my replies in this thread and ask yourself, Is the image on the right really something created for a modern audience? Does it offend or disgust you? Is it actually notable in any way what so ever? And most importantly of all, what was the actual point of this thread and this topic? /\/\
OH, I'm a guy alright. And there is no reason to be sorry, or Politically Correct about any of this. I however do see things differently from most everyone here in this thread, as it's all just background noise and propaganda for the personal gain of others.
To me, this is all false outrage for aggregate tracking and political means, either to gain traction on a pointless false narrative or to further division. It's tits on a bull to me. And I'm just here trying to point that out to anyone that will listen.
Inb4 "Tifa is trans and got top surgery".
Sephiroth killed the wrong one.
Tomboy erasure continues.
"This does not resonate with my dick."
I know the focus is on Tifa, but I also lament putting a horse face on Aeris. I get that she should look a little alien but it really stands out in a bad way.
People really don't want to face the reality that higher fidelity graphics are sometimes a mistake. Aeris was always gonna be cuter as a bunch of low res polygons.
Only men can have large breasts these days
plastic model kits > video games (and that's the SFW version)
What a time to be alive :D
I expected the Jack-O Tifa pose statue, and was disappointed, but not too disappointed.
So she got de-tits'd and all but what really jumps out to me is that the 2007 model is far and away the best. I remember the 2000s so fondly in terms of pop culture ='(
PSP had the best games because it was only popular in Japan, no Western journos bothered to poison it.
Why is Yuffie cosplaying as Tifa?
Is this a joke? I haven't even played FF7 remake yet. I don't understand why they made these changes.
To be fair the first picture is a really shitty example and the third picture seems a bit exaggerated when compared to other pics from FF7 remake. That costume covers up her figure more than the Crisis Core version.
Poses look different i don't know.
I get this is about the tits... But the biggest complaint I have is how the 2007 costume is so detailed vs the modern ones which go backwards into simple design
I'm generally fine with it. CC takes place like... 5ish years before FF7. She now looks like a younger version of herself rather than a fucking clone in a cowgirl outfit.
Did they darken her skin?
It's not like she had huge tits to begin with. They just erased them completely.
Edit: I think someone got the impression that I'm OK with this. I'm not. What I'm saying is they took a character with an already modest bust and wiped it out completely.
