And Guys please don't be pervy about this! i have had enough of that.. people just ruin the Final Fantasy Characters.. by making them into
well bluntly "Sex Symbols"
But Tifa's character doesn't strike me as that type of person so the dress isn't realistic to the character. (perhaps we can mod some proper clothing on her)
I find El Ammo Bandito's "FF7 sword masculinity theory" hilarious :lol:.
Definitly not the case, otherwise the female characters would also have some other specially designed weapons of "special" sizes and/or shapes.
It was most likely her tactic for drawing customers to her bar.
I fail to see how the mini makes her a slut in the slightest. Especially if she's wearing bloomers or other sports clothing underneath.
Hell, she's wearing one of the longer skirts, all told, of the FF heroines who actually wear skirts. Longest of the ones who aren't wearing full length ones as far as I can tell. Selphie on the other hand flashes the panties just standing around. Does this make her a slut? No, not in the slightest either.
It may be wise to remember at this point how much her designed changed in Advent Children, another attempt on their parts to atone for their mistake in FF7.
6. We are debating this.
My Tifa's just fine the way she is,
I can guarentee you that your first thought when you saw her was "my god shes a bit slutty".

She isn't your tifa. She is a character which all of us have a view on and it is wrong that the first view someone will have of her is that of a tart. Now you can choose to believe otherwise but it is complete common sense when you look at her dress and stature. I can guarentee you that your first thought when you saw her was "my god shes a bit slutty". The dress of a person overwhemlingly tells a character and a person of Tifa's personality would not walk around a world all the time with that dress,
This was a question on realism and it is not realistic. We can all say whether we enjoy it or have any problem with it, but on realism, no. it isn't.
Its Final Fantasy. At what point is it supposed to be realistic?
There are sluttier dressed Final Fantasy characters. How can you guarantee what my first thought when I saw Tifa was exactly? Were you there, in my head when I saw her for the first time?
I've just never seen her that way.
Yuffie's outfit shows only very slightly less skin than Tifa's does. No one goes on about how slutty she is.
I'm of the opinion that it would be unrealistic for Tifa NOT to have big boobs.
Not that being realistic matters, of course - because its a videogame.
In short - its not realistic.
It is a logical assumption. It doesn't require any proof because it is totally logical. We have been brought up with 2 eyes in our heads and common knowledge. if a girl like Tifa walked about the streets she would be assumed as a hooker/pro. That really isn't in question here.
QuoteNot that being realistic matters, of course - because its a videogame.
That doesn't really deserve an answer. Realism matters in any story or it wouldn;t be a good story. There are always set laws. The excuse "it is just a video game" is a very poor argument. If aerith was able to get up after Sephirioths stab we would all shout cop out and rightly so. The idea that anything can happen in a story and it doesn't matter is only true if you like crap story.
it's really freaking nice to look at most of the time.

I think you are the one I referred to as basic males in my post above?
You've all been operating on a bit of a bad postulation here. After all, never has sexual intercourse between characters in the FF7 universe even been defined in an official work. It's unknown as to whether the characters even have human genitals. Perhaps they're entirely genderless, and babies are born when two people love each other and the lifestream blesses them with the gift of life. It's awfully hard to be a slut when you don't have genitals to abuse, you know. We just don't know!
After all, the Don seemed content to move in on all of his harlot victims while fully-clothed. From this, the only known precdent for a raw sexual advance, we would have to conclude that FF7 characters, if there is some form of intercourse implied, do engage in this intercourse without exposing any part of their so-called genitals. This would mean that a woman's sexuality would not at all be judged by the amount of skin she exposes.
Furthermore, did you see any knocked up teenagers or single women in Midgar? In the entire world of FF7? I know I didn't. In exploring an entire civilization, with rampant sexuality like this, there would surely be young women suffering at the hands of their own untempered lust. But there weren't any!
Of course, the actual, not-entirely-mocking point this brings about is - you cannot judge a character's character in a purely fantasy universe, with accepted social standards much different from real world social standards, by real world social standards. That would be dumb. ;)

You jerk of to 3D models? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAhahaahahhahahahhahaAHHHAHAHAHAHA :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Incidentally, who is this post directed at? I don't think anyone has ever claimed to jerk off to 3d models. Unless I'm missing something.
That deserved a laugh...I can model a nice FF7 character model if you want. How do you want her to look...pathetic..that is like jerking of to one of my speakers...
So you did jerk of to this image?nope, try again
Speaking of social intuition and sensibility... mentioning you used to jerk off to videogame characters on a forum with people you don't really know, usually in the "less than great idea" category.If I particularly cared what people thought of the person I was five years ago, I wouldn't have done it :p
As a side note, taking this debate seriously is totally insane. But I suppose it bleeds into something a bit more serious, the nature of the character personality. But as many people have pointed out, the Tifa personality doesn't fit a slut outfit - but it isn't a slut outfit. Because you can't judge it by real world social standards. :)
AERIS
i suppose Aeris/Aerith could work
Which character did you do it to then? I'm just curious, don't tell me it was Cloud or Barret :lol:It wasn't, and this line of discussion has been followed as far as it's going to go.
And Seifer started the slut debate by claiming that clothing choices reflected personality.

Choice of clothing do reflect personality to some extent in real life. Not so much in fiction, because strictly speaking, the characters themselves are not the ones that chose their clothing.
