Day late and a dollar short but as a horny teen when FFVII released.. honestly..I never had any interest in Tifa. Bewbs are meaningless if theres nothing compelling or empathetic about the character. I found aerith and yuffi far more attractive, granted yuffi is more of a kid in the game. I just mean more interesting and I was 14 att.

Tifa didn't feel like she had any character until that post anime came out with her running the orphanage.

Thinking back on it, it was honestly kinda frustrating how boring she was. *Punch punch* = character arc.

She feels like the typical demure childhood friend character you see in anime. I like her well enough - she has her charm - but out of everyone she's definitely the most basic.

Basic AF, granted Cloud? had seen some shit so in his defense, basic strong female protagonist may have been good for him.

*Cloud? I mean they name these protagonists so generically I can't recall if hes cloud or cloud strife, fenrir, or whatever.

I never played Final Fantasy VII at release so my first exposure to Tifa was through the Machinabridged series Team 4 Star did as a breather from DBZA. So if you’ve seen that, imagine my shock when I found Tifa was - in personality at least - so demure she’s taking shit from utterly ungrateful dickheads in that very Japanese way. I was legitimately waiting for her to put the guy’s head through a desk.

As for this canonical bra size, which set of measurements is it using? I know that’s a dumb question at first blush but listening to my wife rant about the different measurements on bras bought locally compared to ones from overseas via Amazon, I’m thinking the size may vary from place to place.

Now that it is proven they were smaller in the first remake, the goalpost shifts from "they're not smaller you're just an incel" to "who cares about em anyways!". Not a second is taken to apologize for maligning people who were correct when you were incorrect in your assessment of the facts.


And sure, I wanna learn about Barret's gatling gun too, and all his other guns. Guns and tits are not opposite forces, you can have both.
There is no goal post shift. People just thought complaining about her breasts being slightly smaller thought the controversy was dumb back then.

I did play FFVII at release, but only the snowboarding minigame when my brother would let me because I was 5 years old. Does that qualify me or do I have to get out too?

Because I always liked Tifa as a character and shipped her with Cloud but found her enormous bust a little off-putting. I don't know if they are actually any smaller, but I like her Advent Children design better. Which is the opposite of Cloud who I think looks dumb with his fluffy hair.

Man, I can't find Tifa's pair off-putting compared to some of the more egregious examples of this I've seen in Japanese games...

... one of which is that of the Devil Survivor 2's female cast, where several of them look like they're packing titanium push-up bras...



... with Io being the first example of this you see in the game.



Makoto (top left of the full-cast image) has hers pushed up so high her outfit stretches *upwards* in a case of gravity defiance that would be impressive if it wasn't so weird to observe in game

Afaik only the US size system uses DDD, so probably that. Also, yes, welcome to the grand universe that is bra sizes. You got the US system, the Aussie system, UK, European, Japanese, French, Italian, probably some others I'm forgetting. And then you can still have minor size variations from brand to brand. Makes bra shopping lots of fun, especially if you have a size that's in between common sizes.

It also fits her well enough because her whole thing with Cloud leaves her unsure of where she stands, but more importantly she's a terrorist somewhat against her will. She's obviously written to be this typical Japanese female character trope, but it works in favor of her character overall.

I think it looks fine here mostly. 2D drawings can make the ludicrous look far more acceptable than when you translate it to 3D. Like characters with ridiculously long ribbons trailing behind them for example.

Sounds like the clothes industry in general.

Pretty much, and that's not getting into the cost of bras in out sizes. Women's clothing is imo just nicer in general tho. Way more variety of colors, textures, fabrics, etc. I've at times bought women's hoodies because I'm really fond of wearing vivid reds and the women's section just offers more choices. Downside is no pockets tho.
