Nibel mako reactor, and witnesses her father being murdered. In a blinding rage, she attempts to kill Sephiroth with his own sword, but Sephiroth overwhelms her, critically injuring and almost killing her leaving left a scar on her chest.
As Cloud arrived in the reactor, he found Zack and Tifa gravely injured. Cloud defeats Sephiroth, despite being critically wounded himself particularly in the stomach area where Sephiroth stabbed him at. Shinra personnel arrive at the scene and Cloud and Zack are taken to Professor Hojo for study, while Tifa was taken to safety. Tifa's martial arts master Zangan did his best to try and heal her, but the best he could do was keep her alive.
As a result, TIfa remembers little, if anything, of the Nibelheim incident. Tifa was carried all the way to MIdgar to seek immediate medical attention, where a doctor cared for her wounds. When she finally recuperates from her wounds, Tifa opens up a bar, calling it " 7th Heaven ", located in Sector 7 inside Midgar.
She decides to join him so that she can take revenge on Shinra after the Nibelheim incident. But Cloud has forgotten quite a bit about his past and he does not come off as very open to Tifa due to the study Professor Hojo did on him.
The missions go well, as they are able to destroy a Shinra nuclear plant. When they finally reach Shinra's main headquarters, they are captured. Tifa knows parts of the story don't fit, but she is too confused to bother saying anything.
When the team finally returns to Nibelheim, the entire village has been rebuilt, with the people being replaced by Shinra actors meant to cover up the Shinra incident , who wear black cloaks and apparently do not remember either Tifa or Cloud living in Nibelheim. The people in black cloaks happen to be apart of a cult that worships Sephiroth and Jenova. During the Northern Crater Sephiroth arrives showing what truly happened at Nibelheim showing flashbacks.
Tifa begs Sephiroth to stop as this could mess Cloud up emotionally but Sephiroth keeps getting deeper in the accident. He tells Cloud that he is nothing more than a puppet that was being used as a tool. Then Sephiroth takes control of Cloud handing him over the Black Materia that can summon the meteor which can destroy the world. Tifa wakes up being in a gas chamber that could kill her with the poisonous gas under a time limit she manages to escape by the Sapphire Weapon attacking Junon blasting a hole through the chamber.
Tifa escapes using the Highwind and heads to Mideel where Cloud is staying at a hospital due to Mako poisoning. The Ultimate Weapon and Lifestream swallows Mideel causing Tifa to enter Cloud's Subconcious zone where he opens up to her about the past including the Nibelheim accident and his feelings towards her.
After she discovers the truth the Ultimate Weapon and Lifestream allows the two to go back to Mideel where they have to defeat a Diamond Weapon that's destroying the island.
Afterwards, before the final battle everyone decides to check up on family except for Cloud and Tifa who stay in the Highwind together. Originally during this Square Enix wanted to include a scene where Cloud casually walks out of the Chocobo room then shortly afterwards an awkward looking Tifa walks out being nervous hinting that they slept together. However Enix decided this scene was too graphic for the young audience so instead they included a scene where during sunrise the two are cuddled up sleeping together outside of the Highwind.
This leads up to the final battle and eventually to the events in Advent Children. She serves as Cloud's emotional support and does her best to keep him optimistic. While she runs the bartending job and Strife's deliver service.
After discovering that Cloud is suffering from Geostigma, she fights the Sephiroth clone, Loz, in a church. Tifa points out that Aerith had gotten caught because she was taking Marlene to saftey and soon the three go running off to Aerith's mother Elmyra to see if Marlene is there. Sure enough Marlene is safe with Elmyra. Barret thanks Elmyra for keeping his daughter safe and asks her to not only keep watching her but to get out of Midgar while is she can while they go to save Aerith.
Eventually they find Aerith in the hands of Shinra's head researcher Professor Hojo. Hojo collected a varetity of rare or one of a kind creatrures including the alien creature known as JENOVA, his most prize specimen, though Aerith appeared to be a close second. Hojo is fascinated by Aerith as the last of a civilization known as Cetra, often called Ancients.
Hojo was trying to see how Aeritih faired with the creature he had dubbed Red XIII, a strange wild-cat-like creature that was also the last of it's kind.
After a rest Cloud will awaken to find the cell door is broken. He goes to unlock the other doors. Heading to President Shinra's office reveals that the President is dead, impaled by a sword. Cloud recognizes the sword as only able to be wielded by the legendary super Solider.
Sephiroth, menaing Sephiroth had not only freed Jenova but personally killed the President. They head north to the small town of Kalm to regroup. Cloud had just been assigned to attend to some monster who had broken out in the Nible Reactor and was sent there with small group of Soldiers, including Sephiroth.
The team had hired Tifa as a guide up Mount Nible. Sephitoth had broken into Shinra manor in Nibelhiem, former research center of Professor Hojo. Sephiroth made his intentions clear by burning down Niblehiem and killing as many people as he could find.
When Tifa saw her family and teacher killed she went to find and kill Sephiroth. Even though Cloud knew it was suicide to go up agaisnt Sephiroth he couldn't let TIfa go alone. Cloud's memory fails him as to how he and Tifa had survived the encounter but they had and made their way out of the wreckage of Nibelhiem. Cloud left Soldier and became a mercinary. Tifa left to go fight Shinra in their home city of Midgar and Barret and the others knew the rest of the story.

In her friendship with Barret, he depends on her as his moral compass, grounding him to do the right thing, [83] [84] [84] whereas she depends on him to push her forward when she is indecisive. Tifa depends on him as the only remnant of their hometown of Nibelheim following its destruction, and thus of her old identity. She is therefore protective of him, though this is mutual.
Following the defeat of Sephiroth, Tifa attempts to put together a normal family, building a new bar and raising a family with Cloud, Barret, Marlene, and later Denzel. She appears hurt by Cloud's distantness, and in the Geostigma crisis, pushes him to take action and stop brooding over his past failures.
Tifa is a martial artist who was taught by Zangan, and in contrast with her reserved personality, is deceptively strong. Her fighting style involves primarily punches and kicks, and she uses knuckles and claws as her weapons. Her skills put her on par with the rest of the party — including Cloud, an enhanced supersoldier; and Barret, a battle-hardened leader wielding a cybernetic gun-arm — despite not having the same advantages.
Her training with Zangan is also made apparent by her physique, others commenting on her "tight muscles". Tifa's techniques are showcased in her limit breaks. Among the most powerful are Dolphin Blow , an uppercut punch that summons a dolphin to attack with her, and Meteor Strike , where she lifts the enemy of any size, including a giant mech or one of the planet's colossal Weapon monsters over her head with a single arm and leaps into the air before throwing it to the floor.
However, neither technique appears outside of gameplay, suggesting her true strength is not as supernatural. Tifa also draws strength from her chi, as seen with her Unbridled Strength mechanic in Final Fantasy VII Remake , and can materialize her chi in the form of an orb that damages any foe in contact. Tifa also handles the finances for Barret's Avalanche cell [19] and runs the Seventh Heaven bar; both her food and cocktails made the bar famous in the slums.
Tifa is a playable party member, who relies on her martial arts techniques in battle seen in her unique Limits , and wields claws and glove weapons.
Her stats in Final Fantasy VII are designed around the Monk character class, meaning her physical stats are stronger than her magical stats. She has lower HP growth than other characters, but her Strength growth gives her the third highest potential Strength of any character behind only Cloud and Barret. Tifa's Limit Break Somersault. Tifa's weapons, high Strength stat, and her Limits gear her towards using physical damage.
In particular, her unique Limits being performed in a combo selected by a slot reel allow her to string together great amounts of physical damage to enemies, making her a good choice for Counter Attack Materia and other choices that rely on her damage output. Her ultimate weapon is the Premium Heart which capitalizes on this further, dealing more damage based on how full her Limit gauge is.
In addition, two of her weapons, the Powersoul and Master Fist , have mechanics that stack multiplicatively based on if Tifa is under negative statuses ; this allows them to outclass several ultimate weapons in damage output. In addition to being a playable party member, Tifa is a temporary replacement for Cloud as party leader at certain points in the story. This can have an impact on dialogue in various sidequests.
It also allows her to participate in Chocobo racing and Snowboarding , although she has a chance to participate in these minigames in Cloud's stead when she is present in the party and Cloud is the leader. Tifa is a date option for Cloud in the Gold Saucer, determined by a hidden stat in the game. She starts with the second highest value, at 30, which is 20 behind the highest, Aerith. Tifa is once again a playable party member who uses her martial arts techniques in battle, with a fast, close-range fighting style.
She is the fastest character in both movement speed and ATB recharge rate. Her ability is to use a different martial arts technique depending on her chi level, Tifa being able to charge more chi with Unbridled Strength by expending ATB. Her abilities are martial arts techniques that are best performed in combos, and grant her the ability to both quickly build an enemy's stagger gauge and also increase stagger bonus damage.
Her movement speed makes her a quick dodger. Tifa has the best natural Speed attribute, the second-highest Strength attribute, and her knuckles provide the biggest physical damage bonuses of any party. Her natural HP is fairly low, and her survivability depends more on her ability to quickly dodge out of and avoid damage than to sustain it. Though Tifa's Magic attribute is naturally low, equipping weapons that improve it can take advantage of her high speed, and still make her a fast spellcaster used as a battlemage.
Although Tifa's damage-per-second potential is high, she is focused more on single-target melee damage, as opposed to Cloud or Barret with a melee weapon, whose melee damage is area-of-effect.
Tifa joins the party in Chapter 3, "Home Sweet Slum", and completing sidequests with her improves Cloud's affection mechanics score with her.
This makes her an option for a scene in the quest " Resolve ", along with Barret and Aerith. Tifa is also the player-controlled party leader during the quest " Acquiring the Keycard " in Chapter 16, " The Belly of the Beast ", and later in Chapter 17, " Deliverance from Chaos ", leads a party with Aerith in the quest series " Find the Others ". The motif is interpolated in numerous tracks throughout the soundtrack, including in an electronic mix named "Smash 'Em, Rip 'Em" as Aerith and Tifa confront Don Corneo.
Tifa is a frequent guest character who has appeared in the following games throughout the Final Fantasy series :.
Tifa is depicted in the Monk job, and makes use of her limit breaks from the original game. Her most notable appearance is as a playable character in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, in which she first appeared in Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Aside from this, Tifa is a playable character in the fighting game Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring , with the title "Summoner". Outside of video games, Tifa has appeared in many episodes of Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy web series as a combatant against characters from the Dead or Alive video game series. She has also appeared in the two music videos Monty Oum created for the show. In the episode, Tifa performs her usual techniques against Yang, and begins the episode works as barmaid, alluding to her occupation.
When Zack suggests "7th Heaven," the man loves the name and suggests getting "a young girl with a big bosom and long legs" to work the bar. Tifa Lockhart is among the names used in example sentences for the chat log filtering configuration in Final Fantasy XIV. Tifa has appeared as an outfit in other video games.
This includes in the online game Mainichi Issho now discontinued as well as the arcade game Gunslinger Stratos 2. She appears in season 1, episode 16, "Gaming's Next Top Princess". She also makes an appearance on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken. She appears in season 2, episode 8, in the skit "Final Fantasy Burger Chain", where she plays an unspecified co-worker to Cloud. The music video was never aired on Korean television again and singer Ivy was sued by Square Enix for copyright infringement.
Tifa has appeared in numerous merchandise for Play Arts and others, including action figures and statues, key chains, Coca-Cola bottle cap figurines , and even a Potion can and a Zippo lighter.
Designed by Tetsuya Nomura , the concept of Tifa was first created when the idea was suggested that, at some point within the game, a character would be permanently killed off. When it was decided to have Aerith die , attention went into developing her character and her relationships with the other characters; this resulted in the idea to introduce Tifa as a rival for Cloud's affections.
The notion of having two concurrent heroines and the protagonist torn between them was something director Yoshinori Kitase liked, describing it as something new in the Final Fantasy games. Tifa's attire was designed to give her freedom of movement due to her affinity to weaponless fighting. Her miniskirt, was noted as being "quite short" to give her "a considerable degree of exposure".
For Advent Children , Takeshi Nozue had difficulty developing a framework for Tifa's body that was "balanced, yet showed off her 'feminine qualities'". Her outfit was redesigned with emphasis on expressing her physical qualities while being pleasing to the eye.
Her hair was cropped due to the difficulty of animating her original length of hair, as well as problems that arose due to its dark color and lighting. For Remake , Tifa was designed with an eastern-styled look as opposed to Aerith's western-styled look. The developers wanted Tifa to have an athletic body type. The ethics department at Square Enix told the developers to "tighten her chest as not to get unnatural during all the intense action.
Her costume was designed to be realistic visually, taking real designs of clothes and accessories for reference. Her suspenders were inspired by military suspenders, while her gloves were inspired by those used for riding bikes and fighting. For Tifa's alternate Wall Market dresses, the developers chose the Chinese-style and kimono dress to provide a cultural flair.
Other ideas included a dancer outfit, maid outfit, police uniform, or a chocobo bikini. In early drafts of Final Fantasy VII , Tifa was a background character, with her role in Avalanche being to support everyone behind the scenes and cheer them up after missions. She would also have had a large scar on her back caused by Cloud, and partial amnesia from the incident when she had received it.
The original depiction of Cloud and Tifa's "moment" under the Highwind in Final Fantasy VII was more suggestive: following a fade-out scene, Cloud was to walk out of the airship's chocobo stable followed shortly by Tifa who would check around as she left, implying the two had spent the night together. In Advent Children , Tetsuya Nomura and Kazushige Nojima focused on developing the emotional backbone her character is to the cast.
They ensured to portray her as a modern woman who can function without a man. Nojima described her character "very much like any woman who's been left behind by a man", while Nomura described her as multidimensional, calling her "like a mother, a sweetheart, and a close ally in battle" and "remarkably strong, not only emotionally, but physically as well". For Remake , Aerith and Tifa were written and presented as double heroines, as the team wished to avoid playing favorites.
The scenario was in the game until the latter half of development, but was cut due to time constraints. Nomura additionally noted that after completing Tifa's updated design they debated on her finalized details, but once Ito had been cast for the role, they chose to blend many traits from the voice actress into the character's completed appearance.
In an interview for Kingdom Hearts II , Cook described Tifa as a "very cool character, both very strong physically and emotionally, but also very sensitive", and "really multi-dimensional". She described Tifa as a goal for who she wants to be due to her physical traits and personality, [] while also calling her a "more realistic picture" of what women are to her compared to other video game characters, saying Tifa shows that there is "more to being a woman than just who do you have a crush on".
Tifa has received an extremely positive reaction from critics and the fanbase, ranking among the best characters in gaming. She was voted as the fifth-best female character in video games among GameSpot readers in , [] ranked as the 19th-best video game character of all time by Famitsu readers in , [] and the ninth-best Final Fantasy character in the All Final Fantasy Big Vote in Tifa has received praise as a strong female character, due to her physical strength and layered writing.
Writing for Complex , Gus Turner called her "one of gaming's most independent and empowered females ever" next to Lara Croft and Samus Aran. Tifa's popularity has also stemmed from her sex appeal. She was named the pinup girl of the "cyber generation" by The New York Times in , described as an example of a strong, independent, and attractive female character. He continued that her story was easily overlooked by the game's audience as the story "reflects adult anxieties and concerns", questioning if students in junior high school would understand why she had to "keep a violent, unstable, compulsive liar in her life, because otherwise she has no tangible connection to the majority of her past experiences".
Tifa's name is pronounced with a long "e" Tee -fa rather than a short "i" Tiff -a. Tifa's last name, Lockhart, might be a reference to Tifa's reserved nature and hiding away her feelings for Cloud, "locking" them within her heart, or to her role in unlocking Cloud's psyche later in the game. Tifa's surname in the original English localization of Final Fantasy VII is "Lockheart", as seen in the manuals and official strategy guides for the game, though the surname is not found within the game itself.
The only exception is the official website, which used "Lockhart". Her surname in English localizations was changed to "Lockhart" just half a year later with Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring , which featured her surname in the Japanese and English versions.
