Love Tifa. She is a strong fighter, but she is above all empathic, caring and loving, especialy of course towards her friends. A wonderfull human beeing. The theme represents that perfectly I find.
She is the type of girl who can do things herself but is secure enough to let you help her and thank you for the help. Supports you and let's you support her. My God is that refreshing to see in modern media
at first i heard her theme, i began to wonder, why is the one of the strongest female character in final fantasy has such a calming theme? and then after I played this game and followed the story, this theme is suit her very well. behind a woman with martial arts master skills and fight with vigorous combat style, there's a shy, reserved, moral, and empathic personality, a motherly figure which is compassionate to her loved ones
She wants to be loved. Watch her at the water tower. She looks away from cloud. I know she loves cloud but she wants to be saved. A girl that tough never gets saved. Why would you she has it under control. It's loved love.
I grew up on the original game, the game is only 1 year younger than me. And I fell in love with both aerith and Tifa, I loved TIfa as a kid cause of her martial arts, but as I grew up I've come to love her for everything you just listed. I relate to her the most. Aerith became what I would have loved to be like when a was a teenage girl lol with her personality but Tifa represented more of what I found myself realistically morphing into by the time i've come into my 20s. She's so relatable.
Not sure how there are only 300 likes and 17,637 views on this post. And it has been over two and half years. Such a nice and touchy music. Can't even think it has been over two decades this story was brought in but there is yet to be a definitive conclusion. Even the remake was cliffhanger one. Asking and waiting for more. Hopefully the storyline gets a good ending and most importantly I don't want to see anyone dying.
Tifa is an incredible character, especially when you consider the contrast between her design and personality. On the outside she looks like a confident, driven, badass that can do anything. Yet, we see her diffidence, her anxiety, her lack of self-confidence, the need to be a people pleaser... We see someone who’s trying to move forward from all her past trauma and clearly struggles with it. However, under the facade we someone who; shows empathy despite how much she’s been burned, compassion, loyalty to her friends, but above all… someone who yearns for the boy whom she made a promise with-that’s close to her heart-all those years ago.
You know, the more you think about it, the more you realize how big an impact Tifa was for not just JRPGs, but for men and women. A badass but kind woman who is loyal to her beliefs and friends, and is there to the very end. She even helped Cloud get on his feet after everything that was thrown his way. Truly an ideal female character that marked the blueprint for many similar characters to come.
Tifa is home.... I can't progress the game for weeks. Everytime I arrived at sector 7, I just stood still, enjoying the ambience, looking at the crowd, at the tv news about shinra explosion, and tifa in the distance. "This is it, this is my imperfect yet perfect home."
Hasn't it always been? I thought that Og, ACC, and the kids are alright made that clear but I could be wrong🤔😅 Though...thinking about it again I can see where it might get confused with aerith in terms of narrative alone. In the actual plot however it was always cloti
@@TheUnderratedOrange I kind of wish more people would ship Cloud and Biggs so we would get Cliggs. Or Cloud and Cait Sith to get Clith. Cloud and Zack would give us Clack... So many possibilities for horrible acronyms
Final fantasy is always really good with that imo. Even some of the characters like Vanille from FF13 and Yuffie from FF7 had scenes where they showcased growth of strength and maturity. Girls like Yuna, Fang, Jill from 16, Sarah from 13-2, are so good. Some of the female enemies are great too. Elena from the Turks jumps out of a helicopter and tries to car jack you, like that’s just badass
@@Tylericous yeah a strong female character should be the one who will be great support to other characters around her. She can be the one who others can lean to during difficult time. Not the type of character who can do everything and consider men to be a pushover. Thats why those stupid games fail.
I was such a lonely child when the original game came out. The characters in this game were basically my only friends when I was this shy, skinny kid. I'm a married man with some good real friends now, but I will never forget how this game helped me survive those times. Thank you Cloud, thank you Aerith, thank you Barret and thank you Tifa. Thank you, Final Fantasy VII.
This is how I feel lol, people don't even know man, it's anime, game, and book characters that were my only friends. Even as an adult I spend most of my time alone, and so my fictional worlds and characters are the only things that I can connect with so much. I can't afford to travel and go on my own adventures, and I can go out and meet people every now and then but it's mostly to go party or something, and friendships are always so transient nowadays and no one puts in effort. I tried in highschool, then college, then after and I just got used to doing my own thing and prefer it. I rarely feel lonely like I did in my teen years. I give a lot to receive little, so I mostly do my own thing unless someone reciprocates energy. Friendships are rarely like the deep bonds in fictional worlds. I've come to accept that I won't ever have the friendships I hoped I would as a kid, from the expectations that anime and final fantasy games gave me lol.
Don't describe my 7 year old self in a youtube comment...wait..I wasn't the only one? Man FF7 changed my life and then FFX came out and saved it. Thank you Kitase, Nojima, Nomura and especially Uematsu, I'm here today because of your art.
Tifa created an unmatchable expectation in the hearts and minds of so many. Her heart is so big, her loyalty is so strong, but as someone said she just wants to be loved. She doubts herself. She experienced loss at a young age and had to learn to be strong. She’s imperfect, but her imperfection makes her real, and she deserves to be chosen, not as a second choice, but because of who she is. Tifa’s theme hits hard because it is like coming home. It comes with a sense of peace, but it also comes with expectations. There’s a hole to fill in this home, and the melancholy tones speak to a beautiful, natural longing for home. You’re just not sure when you’re going to get there.
I love this theme so much. I inspire to be like tifa. Brave, kind, caring, a good soul and a badass. I've wronged so many people in my past all because i couldn't learn how to handle my emotions especially since i grew up with a mentally and emotionally abusive mother. Ever since i got into ff7, Tifa has inspired me to be more like her. I have found my cloud by showing who i truly am and by saving his life even tho i barely know anything about him. I couldn't stand there and do nothing. I had to do something because ik if I didn't, it would be too late and i don't want to deal with guilt. We see each other as soulmates
I love this 🥹😭 thank you for sharing! If anything, ffvii characters teach us that it’s okay that we’re human, but we have it in us to shape our own futures and destinies!
How can your father use the name of a goddess to name a dog? If your dad doesn't know about Tiffa, I think there's no problem. If your dad knows about Tiffa and still uses naming dogs, then it means his brain is full of shit

@hungrkcyi7660 Haha, he just grew up with the game as a kid in the 90s, so he just wanted to name his dog after her since tifas theme was his favorite song in the game as a kid. (Also Tifa was his second favorite character too)
I cried so much hearing this in her Resolution scene. It really captivated the emotions and feelings in this scene. What a masterpiece of a game. Can't wait for Rebirth!
Does anyone else hear ff8's Eyes on me? More specifically the notes during the lyrics "you were always there in the corner, of this tiny little bar" Maybe my minds making connections that just aren't there. It would be a bit too perfect to have that specific note progression about tiny bars when talking about Tifa and 7th heaven.
Somewhere between 1998-2000 I was playing this as a very young teenager. FF7 had an effect on my younger self. A new layer of complexity developed in my mind with the death of Aerith (how could they let her die!??!). I still haven't played the remake but I listened to a streamer playing Tifa's theme on violin and oh my, the tune stopped me in my tracks, brought me to my knees, and even brought a few nostalgic tears to my eyes. What a great theme.
I cannot really recall Tifa having that much to do in the original game other than her role in Cloud's recovery. But after playing thru Remake (and currently playing Rebirth) this beautiful theme really resonates.
You know what I just realized… For so many of us this song is beautiful, but also bittersweet and sweetly-sorrowful because we’re searching for our Tifa out in the world, but haven’t found her. However, there are so many that HAVE! And, this is one of the most heartwarming realizations I think I’ve ever had, because IMAGINE having lived a life somewhat like Cloud’s, but you did it, you found your Tifa to call your own and be loved by… I can’t even begin to fucking fathom how much more magical this song must be for all of those couples in the world that did find their Tifa, or they did find their Cloud. If I could listen to this from that kind of IRL perspective, I think my whole body would feel like it was about to explode from how grateful, lucky, blessed, and appreciative I’d be in knowing that I could slow-dance with the love of my life to this song. I’d straight up just die with tears of joy & happiness in my eyes. Overdosing on pure oxytocin. (the love hormone, not the drug) I am nothing but happy for all of y’all that found a partner & lover to either dance to this with, or cuddle, spoon, or snuggle to this with. ❤️
Damn I was gonna insult you(for your usage of "Tifa"), but I get what your saying. Having that feeling would be nice man. I hope we both can find out "Tifa"/significant other
I found my Tifa just follow God and he will lead her to you dont worry until that hapens enjoy life and be right as your heart God and Jesus Crist tells you and be happy with who you are too each one of us is a Cloud Strife to a Tifa Lockhart so we are awesome and people do love we love yourselfs too and sorry for my bad english ans nice story to all.
It was that and I found her, finally. Not that easy to deal with, I think I was more of an Aerith guy... But in the end, it was neither God nor Jesus that brought me to her. It was a little courage for going out even alone, talking to people, meeting new friends, and their friends, and eventually... her. Then making the effort to reach her, which did not come easy. Everything is in there, guys, don't pretend you don't know. It takes a little roaming, some patience, it takes courage and the will to level up. It takes watching, listening, planning, it takes a lot of laughing too, mostly at yourself. You're all very amusing, sometimes ridiculous even, take advantage of that instead of fighting it to no victory. Make her laugh with you. In the end, what it takes is hard work on yourself and just a little on her. She will see that you're doing it. And then there's keeping her close to you. I wish to you all, the best of luck.
I keep thinking this theme from Animal Crossing New Leaf is gonna start because the beginnings of both songs sound similar: ruclips.net/video/yLYOkHZ6UsM/видео.html

I had it too myself. After coming back from a hard day and power up my old PS4. When her theme music hits you are welcome by a sense of relaxing and relief.
I am musically illiterate, and actually couldn't connect with Tifa's theme at first. It sounded 'disjointed' to my ear, jumping from low to high and back again for seemingly no reason. Then someone pointed out to me that it's a duet. The flute is the female part, the oboe the male part. They start off in harmony, then call and response, then harmony again. And suddenly the piece makes total sense! I can't believe I couldn't hear it before. I love it now, it's one of the most captivating pieces of music on an already impressive soundtrack
Didn't even know it was a duet, thanks for pointing that out! Square Enix music makes me feel like no other music does. It is the music for me that made me truly recognize music as an ART form. Not just beautiful and emotional, but actually *alive.* It is so hard to explain something so intangible but something so powerful. But when you feel it, you just FEEL it. Those who have connected to this music are the only ones who can understand. I want everyone to experience the same feeling I feel when listening to Square music, I want to share it with people I know, and I don't like that it's just created this world of powerful feelings that only exists personally in my own mind. But there's really no way to explain this to someone, they just wouldn't understand at all. I'm so glad that the people here, who clearly sought out this music, are the ones that GET it.
This is also pretty much my interpretation to this version of Tifa's theme. I think it also pretty much sums up Tifa's entire character & story arc. If I may add, the duet between the flute and oboe are represented by Tifa & Cloud. Cloud reaches out to Tifa, Tifa reaches out to Cloud. The two instruments then come together symbolizing their Reunion. The arrangement is so beautiful while also respecting the original work. I don't know if done on purpose but the piano intro sounds like Eyes on Me from FFVIII in the part "you'd always be there in the corner on this tiny little bar". They sound too similar if it's just a coincidence. Must be a lowkey homage to it.
Tifa was one of the best female character in video game writing. Feminine, fragile, but also supremely strong and motherly. SPOILERS: The scene were she went into Cloud's mind, psychoanalyzed his false memories against hers when she lost her mother then her father, then finally woke up next to Cloud with the whole team staring down at them, making a sly remark, then passing out from exhaustion from saving Cloud.... brilliant writing.
I feel like it's the opposite for me. Tifa's theme evokes me gentleness and a deep sadness. While Aerith's theme evokes me positiveness and love and even some holyness as if she was an angel.
I think it's quite clever that Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith all have near on the opposite personality from what you'd expect based on looks. Cloud has the fit of an edgy anime badass, but he's actually just a socially stunted dork who's trying really, _really_ hard to make everyone think he really is that edgy anime badass; Aerith looks like the dainty, delicate healing maiden, but is actually a spunky young woman who's always two steps away from some new mischief; and Tifa gives off the vibe of a tough-as-nails, women's MMA world champ, but in truth she's the most tender and soft-spoken member of the main cast. I've always thought of Tifa as that friend or aunt or big sister I could always come to see when I had some new problem and she'd make everything seem a little bit brighter. If not for Zack, I think she'd be my favorite character in the game... franchise... extended universe? Maybe let's avoid that last term...
Tifa deserves better man to love and cherish her😢 She's such a strong yet gentle woman, sometimes she's too thoughtful for others but forget herself makes me feel so sad, I've learned alot from her, I think not everyone can be like her in reality, why need a man when a woman also can be tough herself😉
I'm not saying it's a bad theme. But, I find myself having trouble attaching to it as much as Aerith's theme. Couldn't figure out why. But, then, I stumbled across a comment on another video saying that Tifa's theme felt like a sense of nostalgia, like coming home to a warm place. Then it occurred to me. Maybe I'm having a hard time attaching to that sense of homeliness in the theme because I've had a traumatic experience strike me so deep that I've been searching for that sense of belonging ever since. Whereas Aerith's theme is more vulnerable and delicate and gives that feeling of having someplace safe to cry.
I'm usually of the opinion that the original VGMs are superior to remixes, revisions, and remasters. It's a quirk of the medium. This song tho? The OG cut is pretty rough. Nobuo-san was still getting used to working with psx audio, and it really shows there. I'm not 💯 on this track but it _is_ superior to the original, but only because the original sorely deserved the upgrade. edit: also the original absolutely fits the tone of the original game so there's that 😅
Love Tifa. She is a strong fighter, but she is above all empathic, caring and loving, especialy of course towards her friends. A wonderfull human beeing. The theme represents that perfectly I find.
Her outer beauty is matched only by that of her inner beauty
She is the type of girl who can do things herself but is secure enough to let you help her and thank you for the help. Supports you and let's you support her. My God is that refreshing to see in modern media

2:12 Where the Original Theme normally starts.
When i play Rebirth at the beginning when Tifa cried, i wanted to strangle Cloud

@@cianbroderick7733you have a lot to learn. Go play more videogames or read books or eat some VHS tapes or something 🤷♂️
@BILLBILL-pq3py I don't understand this comment. Sorry about my tone. It's freeing to cry. We shouldn't view it as something to avoid
Aerith dying was my childhood version of the Red Wedding...
Was the violinist Patti Rudisill by chance? I'm a big fan of hers. Shes covered most the FF7 tunes on her channel.
Still looking for my tifa ❤
Oh... Boa sorte. Logo encontra.
she exist but only in your heart. keep her safe and warm and she'll protect you
I cannot really recall Tifa having that much to do in the original game other than her role in Cloud's recovery. But after playing thru Remake (and currently playing Rebirth) this beautiful theme really resonates.
They're the love story of Remake trilogy and I'm here for it.
I miss those days watching my older brother played this game.
You know what I just realized… For so many of us this song is beautiful, but also bittersweet and sweetly-sorrowful because we’re searching for our Tifa out in the world, but haven’t found her. However, there are so many that HAVE! And, this is one of the most heartwarming realizations I think I’ve ever had, because IMAGINE having lived a life somewhat like Cloud’s, but you did it, you found your Tifa to call your own and be loved by… I can’t even begin to fucking fathom how much more magical this song must be for all of those couples in the world that did find their Tifa, or they did find their Cloud. If I could listen to this from that kind of IRL perspective, I think my whole body would feel like it was about to explode from how grateful, lucky, blessed, and appreciative I’d be in knowing that I could slow-dance with the love of my life to this song. I’d straight up just die with tears of joy & happiness in my eyes. Overdosing on pure oxytocin. (the love hormone, not the drug)
I am nothing but happy for all of y’all that found a partner & lover to either dance to this with, or cuddle, spoon, or snuggle to this with. ❤️
Such a heartwarming comment.
I am searching for my Rinoa like you are searching for your Tifa. Hope we find them somewhere someday.
Do not search. Just be, and she will come.
Damn I was gonna insult you(for your usage of "Tifa"), but I get what your saying. Having that feeling would be nice man. I hope we both can find out "Tifa"/significant other
I found my Tifa just follow God and he will lead her to you dont worry until that hapens enjoy life and be right as your heart God and Jesus Crist tells you and be happy with who you are too each one of us is a Cloud Strife to a Tifa Lockhart so we are awesome and people do love we love yourselfs too and sorry for my bad english ans nice story to all.
It was that and I found her, finally. Not that easy to deal with, I think I was more of an Aerith guy...
But in the end, it was neither God nor Jesus that brought me to her. It was a little courage for going out even alone, talking to people, meeting new friends, and their friends, and eventually... her. Then making the effort to reach her, which did not come easy.
Everything is in there, guys, don't pretend you don't know. It takes a little roaming, some patience, it takes courage and the will to level up. It takes watching, listening, planning, it takes a lot of laughing too, mostly at yourself. You're all very amusing, sometimes ridiculous even, take advantage of that instead of fighting it to no victory. Make her laugh with you.
In the end, what it takes is hard work on yourself and just a little on her. She will see that you're doing it.
And then there's keeping her close to you. I wish to you all, the best of luck.
I keep thinking this theme from Animal Crossing New Leaf is gonna start because the beginnings of both songs sound similar: ruclips.net/video/yLYOkHZ6UsM/видео.html

This theme makes me levitate
I love this picture
Tears me up everytime 🥺😭
Had the Playstation theme for this theme music it was perfect on ps4 🎉
I had it too myself. After coming back from a hard day and power up my old PS4. When her theme music hits you are welcome by a sense of relaxing and relief.
It was by far my favourite ps4 theme. Her theme is so soothing and beautiful.
@@TheDukeRises I know right 🙂😊😉
I am musically illiterate, and actually couldn't connect with Tifa's theme at first. It sounded 'disjointed' to my ear, jumping from low to high and back again for seemingly no reason. Then someone pointed out to me that it's a duet. The flute is the female part, the oboe the male part. They start off in harmony, then call and response, then harmony again. And suddenly the piece makes total sense! I can't believe I couldn't hear it before. I love it now, it's one of the most captivating pieces of music on an already impressive soundtrack
Didn't even know it was a duet, thanks for pointing that out!
Square Enix music makes me feel like no other music does. It is the music for me that made me truly recognize music as an ART form. Not just beautiful and emotional, but actually *alive.* It is so hard to explain something so intangible but something so powerful. But when you feel it, you just FEEL it. Those who have connected to this music are the only ones who can understand. I want everyone to experience the same feeling I feel when listening to Square music, I want to share it with people I know, and I don't like that it's just created this world of powerful feelings that only exists personally in my own mind. But there's really no way to explain this to someone, they just wouldn't understand at all. I'm so glad that the people here, who clearly sought out this music, are the ones that GET it.
This is also pretty much my interpretation to this version of Tifa's theme. I think it also pretty much sums up Tifa's entire character & story arc.
If I may add, the duet between the flute and oboe are represented by Tifa & Cloud. Cloud reaches out to Tifa, Tifa reaches out to Cloud. The two instruments then come together symbolizing their Reunion. The arrangement is so beautiful while also respecting the original work.
I don't know if done on purpose but the piano intro sounds like Eyes on Me from FFVIII in the part "you'd always be there in the corner on this tiny little bar". They sound too similar if it's just a coincidence. Must be a lowkey homage to it.
Tifa is my all time favourite FF character amd she has been since i played the game for the first time as a kid
Ff7: the most extra friend-zoning story ever.
Tifa was one of the best female character in video game writing. Feminine, fragile, but also supremely strong and motherly. SPOILERS: The scene were she went into Cloud's mind, psychoanalyzed his false memories against hers when she lost her mother then her father, then finally woke up next to Cloud with the whole team staring down at them, making a sly remark, then passing out from exhaustion from saving Cloud.... brilliant writing.
Tifa-Wifey Aerith-Daughter Yuffie-Sister
A memory of the past, reminds me of all the times associated with it.
This song feel like everything is going to fine and feels like warm and relaxing
I find it weird Tifa’s theme resonates feelings of happiness, however Aerith’s theme resonates sadness, they both contrast to their characters
I feel like it's the opposite for me. Tifa's theme evokes me gentleness and a deep sadness. While Aerith's theme evokes me positiveness and love and even some holyness as if she was an angel.

Tifa is my angel❤❤❤❤
Kkkkkk Meu tema do ps4 antes de entrar no rocket league pra jogar
0:45 This part reminds me of something else but I don't quite remember what.
Probably a promise you made a long time ago. Don't you remember?
This game is amazing, I played it a two years ago and sometimes I back here to remember this adventure.
Tifa
I think it's quite clever that Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith all have near on the opposite personality from what you'd expect based on looks. Cloud has the fit of an edgy anime badass, but he's actually just a socially stunted dork who's trying really, _really_ hard to make everyone think he really is that edgy anime badass; Aerith looks like the dainty, delicate healing maiden, but is actually a spunky young woman who's always two steps away from some new mischief; and Tifa gives off the vibe of a tough-as-nails, women's MMA world champ, but in truth she's the most tender and soft-spoken member of the main cast.
I've always thought of Tifa as that friend or aunt or big sister I could always come to see when I had some new problem and she'd make everything seem a little bit brighter. If not for Zack, I think she'd be my favorite character in the game... franchise... extended universe? Maybe let's avoid that last term...
Tifa deserves better man to love and cherish her😢 She's such a strong yet gentle woman, sometimes she's too thoughtful for others but forget herself makes me feel so sad, I've learned alot from her, I think not everyone can be like her in reality, why need a man when a woman also can be tough herself😉
And finaly nothing happen to them like resident evil leon and ada
I still remember the moment when I was at a cousin's wedding and the pianist played this while they were saying their vows. Actually breathtaking.
Best theme
I wish tifa dresses more modestly to match her personality.
Is it weird to say I like the PS version better? It’s probably cause it brings back childhood memories

Bestes Lied ever

I'm not saying it's a bad theme. But, I find myself having trouble attaching to it as much as Aerith's theme. Couldn't figure out why. But, then, I stumbled across a comment on another video saying that Tifa's theme felt like a sense of nostalgia, like coming home to a warm place. Then it occurred to me. Maybe I'm having a hard time attaching to that sense of homeliness in the theme because I've had a traumatic experience strike me so deep that I've been searching for that sense of belonging ever since. Whereas Aerith's theme is more vulnerable and delicate and gives that feeling of having someplace safe to cry.
I'm usually of the opinion that the original VGMs are superior to remixes, revisions, and remasters. It's a quirk of the medium.
This song tho? The OG cut is pretty rough. Nobuo-san was still getting used to working with psx audio, and it really shows there. I'm not 💯 on this track but it _is_ superior to the original, but only because the original sorely deserved the upgrade.
edit: also the original absolutely fits the tone of the original game so there's that 😅
Remember, folks. She’s essentially a cartoon character.
Even though I prefer Aerith. This theme brings back so many memories to the orginal game. I really like the characters in ff7, so masterfully crafted
