Tifa Showing Up In The Presentation
The Final Fantasy VII Remake presentation was superb. It demonstrated the new battle system, which combines modern action combat with the classic ATB system, as well as the iconic Guard Scorpion boss (renamed the Scorpion Sentinel) and a sweet remix of the boss theme.
During the presentation, the hosts teased that the audience would soon see Tifa soon. They worded the statement to imply we would have to wait a while, but then audiences were blindsided when she appeared later in the presentation. Given Tifa’s popularity, this was a nice surprise.
Not only does the remake mostly maintain Tifa’s original design (she now sports a black undershirt and trades out red gloves for black ones), but her fighting is as pugilistic as ever. Tifa retains some of her classic moves, including Somersault and Beat Rush, and she’s also added some new moves to her repertoire, including a Shoryuken-like attack.
The remake can’t release soon enough.
