Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 09

When Final Fantasy VII Advent Children was being developed, director Takeshi Nozue had some difficulty in developing a framework for Tifa’s body that needed to be “balanced, yet showed off her feminine qualities”. Her outfit was also redesigned to emphasize on expressing those qualities while being pleasing to the eye. Lastly, Tifa’s hairstyle was cut short due to the difficulty of animating her dolphin tail tipped hair, as well as problems that arose due to its black color and lighting.

Unwound Ribbon is our 9th Tifa cosplayer who wore her costume in this year’s Anime Expo. She has several action shots available on her deviant art as well, so please take some time to visit her gallery! Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 08

Tifa Lockhart has made several appearances in other media, including her own novella “Smile: Case of Tifa”. The story is set in her point of view, telling the events between the end of Final Fantasy VII and Advent Children. In the short novel, she creates a new 7th Heaven bar and attempts to hold onto the concept of a normal family with herself and Cloud Strife as he begins isolating himself from others.

Very pretty cosplayer! The setting actually looks good too! Thanks to again Tamia for sending this in!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart and Cloud Stife

Two years after Cloud Strife was able to defeat Sephiroth, Cloud lived with Tifa Lockhart in a city called Edge where they have been taking care of Barret Wallace’s daughter, Marlene, and an orphan named Denzel. A strange new disease called “Geostigma” threatened the lives of many citizens, including Cloud. He then journeys to meet the Turks, a group that performs operations with the megacorporation Shinra. It was later revealed that Jenova, the extraterrestrial life form whose cells were injected into Sephiroth, was connected to the cause of the Geostigma.

Impressive cosplay by You Mi as Tifa and her friend, Jasmine! This somehow reminds me of a scene from Dead Fantasy, but I think I’d rather add this to Advent Children. Thanks to You Mi for sending this!
