Along with her stunning version of Tifa, the cosplayer has proven to be a great match for Final Fantasy VIII's Rinoa, Final Fantasy VI's Terra, and Final Fantasy X's Lulu. Sporting classic red gloves and a suspender-hoisted skirt, Daemerys Thugpants perfectly captures Tifa's personality. KICKAcosplay's Tifa is readying her knuckles to deliver a world of hurt, something the character has to do a lot during Final Fantasy VII's campaign. Compared to Barret's gun-arms and Cloud's Buster Sword, Tifa's weapon of choice is relatively understated. On her right glove, Lein placed two green Materia, and while the placement may not be exact, the overall appearance is reminiscent of how players can see their character's Materia on weapons in FF7 Remake.

Furthermore, the character has forever been a staple of gaming conventions, as many fans have paid tribute to the legendary resistance fighter by donning her various getups.Along with being one of Final Fantasy VII's playable characters, Tifa went on to appear in many of the JRPG's spin-offs, including Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. A prequel released on the PlayStation Portable, Crisis Core does a serviceable job of expanding on Zack Fair's history, a character who had a rather minor role in the original game. On the surface, Tifa's design might not seem the most complicated to recreate, especially compared to the likes of Aerith and Sephiroth; however, Vedovelli goes the extra mile by absolutely nailing the character's hairstyle and even eye color. Perhaps no other franchise has inspired quite as many cosplays as Final Fantasy, and no other Final Fantasy as fervently as Final Fantasy 7.

The remake has brought with it a wave of cosplay that is sure to keep going until the release of Final Fantasy Remake Part 2. Since debuting in 1997, Final Fantasy VIIhas never left the public consciousness, a testament to the game's brilliance and Square's steady stream of post-launch releases set within the same universe. MeggiiCosplay takes on the guise of more than one character, but Tifa Lockhart appears to be a clear favorite of hers and her fans. As the Final Fantasy VII remake approaches ever closer, it is only natural that cosplayers begin to prioritize the cast's new designs over their original ones.Nibel tour guide assigned to Zack, Cloud, and Sephiroth, who leads them on an expedition that eventually ends with Sephiroth going insane and killing Tifa's father. Reflecting her background in martial arts, Tifa turns her own body into a powerful force of nature, although she does equip gloves to supplement her attacks with an extra dose of pain. The beautiful clean presentation of this character is in stark contrast to the grimy background, reminding us of the dark, imperfect setting of the game - Midgar.
