Tifa's Ring

[TheAbominatrix]

Okay, normally I dont start such topics but I'm really curious, it's driving both me and my flatmate crazy.

In the movie, Tifa wears a thick silver ring on her right hand. Can anyone see what it is? It's shown up close as she smacks the bed with her hand at one point, and it can be seen from a distance a few times, but I still cant tell what it is, and I think the answer can be very interesting. Especially if it's a Fenrir head or something.

So if anyone knows or can get a good screenshot, please share! <3

edit: Oh, and from what I can tell, she and Cloud are wearing the exact same rings. A few people have said the same to me, so yay *squee*

[crono_logical]

They also both wear that red ribbon thingy on their left arms :p

[TheAbominatrix]

Well yeah, but everyone wears that xP

[Quoter]

it doesn't mean they're married or anything, the ribbons and ring have to do with eastern customs. Wearing a ring on your finger doesn't have the same meaning in places like China and Japan as it does in America, and in China wearing ribbons means that a strand of string will still connect you.

[TheAbominatrix]

I never said it meant they were married. I find it interesting that they're wearing the same ring, that's all.

[KoShiatar]

I suppose the rings show that they consider themselves somewhat boud to each other by something undying, but I don't think it's a sign of love (unless you mean deep friendly love). We should ask a Japanese person for possibile meanings, I think. That's the best I could come up with...sorry if it's not of much help...

[TheAbominatrix]

Well the rings could mean anything, really. It's not as though the Japanese havent adopted a HUGE amount of Western culture over the years. It could mean romantic love, friendly love, a bond of trust, anything really. The fact that only Tifa and Cloud wear them has to be significant, though.

I just wish the shots were clear enough for me to see the details of her ring.

Thank you muchly, just what I needed :<3:

[Styx]

From what scene was that pic taken?

[Luthien Rogue]

Styx -- When Tifa gets a liiiittle angry with Cloud, just before he goes to the Forgotten Capital. :P

[HIK248]

You can also see it just before the end

BTW when can you see Cloud's ring?I think he wears gloves through the entire movie

[Akari Amano]

ok people...these are the facts:

1.cloud isn't wearing a ring

2. tifa's ring has the cloudy wolf on it...

3. it's in the same finger where an engagement ring could be...

get the point?

i think it is actually an engagement ring


XDDDDDDDDDD sugoooooooooi

[TheAbominatrix]

I was told Cloud had one as well, I'll look through the movie after class tonight.

And while Tifa's ring is on the right finger for it to be an engagement ring, it's on the wrong had. Engagement rings and wedding bands go on the ring finger of the left hand, while hers is on the ring finger of the right.

Given that it's Cloud Fenrir though, it has to have some sort of meaning between the two of them, maybe something like the Greiver ring of Final Fantasy VIII.

[Mercen-X]

Just a side note , but some people who are "engaged to be engaged" wear their rings on the wrong hand, just so theyre close. This is, of course, only if they've got the rings in the first place.

[TheAbominatrix]

True, it could be a promise ring. I do hope Square will expand a bit on the meanings of these rings at some point.

[KH-Cloudy]

cloud also had a wolf on his left shoulder.

[Sephiroth_Lionhear88]

maybe we'll see something about this "engagement ring" in Dirge of Cerberus because i expect to see every FFVII character

[DMKA]

Well Tifa put on gloves to fight the one dude (cause they're her weapon lolz), so you know, Cloud could have a ring.

[kasuya]

i don't think its a ''engagement ring'' take a careful look in AC Barrett is wearing that ring too ;)

[Quiksilver326]

You know that kid with the Brown Afro is Cloud and Tifa's son? I can read, speak, and write Japanese even though I'm not one.

[HIK248]

Damn you are right,that means Tifa and Barret are married :moose:

[Mercen-X]

Did you reverse that pic?

If not, then it has even less meaning. You can see Barret is wearing the ring on his MIDDLE finger on his LEFT hand.
Here's a couple of possibilities. Every character has a ring as a reminder of either Aeris or the Shinra/Sephiroth/Jenova/Meteor event. Or only Cloud, Tifa, and Barret have the rings as a reminder of Biggs, Jessie, and Wedge and the destroyed sector of Midgar.

Either way, there is still a possibility of symbolism in the fact that both Cloud and Tifa wear their rings on their ring fingers on their right hands.

[BackRoomKid]

their's a goof in the scene

Tifa has her ring on her left hand when she smacks the bed
then when leading Denzel to the water, she has it on her right

wonder if anyone besides barret, tifa, and cloud (if he's wearing it, anyone got a screen of that?) are wearing the ring

[HIK248]

I haven't done anything to the screenshot

BTW when exactly can you see Cloud's ring,I asked that before and nobody answered.

And Tifa's ring is always on her right hand

[TheAbominatrix]

You know that kid with the Brown Afro is Cloud and Tifa's son? I can read, speak, and write Japanese even though I'm not one.

No, Denzel is not their son. For them to have a son, he'd have to be two years old. He is not.

[Terran]

Im gonna be seeing this movie once my friend gives it to me..but as soon as I do get I shall look at every little aspect and throw in my opinion...also I really wish he could give it to me now..I WANT AC!!!

[BackRoomKid]

^^^cool....:-/

oh yea, that definately IS NOT cloud and Tifa's son because the "on the way to a smile" story is about Densel and how he survived the events of Meteor and the Lifestream

it takes about his parents and his caretaker, Mrs. Levy

[Lion]

It's kinda odd don't you think ? I mean when Tifa gets a bit angry with Cloud, she points at a picture of them four: Denzel, Marlene, Tifa, Cloud, and unless my subtitles are all messed up (which could be a great possibility), i think she says something about "not beeing a real family"... And then again, in that ring sequence, she says something about: "too much of a Burden"... And note when she answers the phone: "Strife Delivery Service"...

[Sephiroth_Lionhear88]

she says Strife delivery service because it's clouds company :D

[Shlup]

I spent some time skimming the movie to put off going to bed. I don't think I missed anything, but I didn't see a ring on Cloud, unless you count his earring.

Tifa's ring is on her right ring finger, and not, as BackRoomKid stated, on her left ring finger at any point. Her right hand slams down on the left side of her body, but it's still her right hand.

Denzel wears the ring around his neck.

Barret wears the ring on his middle finger on his left hand, though I don't think that gives it "less meaning." His right hand is a gun, after all.

I checked the hands and necks of Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, and Marle and didn't see a ring on any of 'em. I didn't check Red XIII or Cait Sith. xP

[Jet_Jockey]

i've personally got Griever, and i always wear it too. As squall says lions are known for their pride and honour.

but i dont get where fenrir came into ff7? i was introduced to fenrir in ff8 not 7, if you want real answers ask the moderators.

well ive seen the movie alot lol and im pretty sure its a wolf... u know like the same type on his shoulder and the one he wears as an earing, i think the ring is just a friendship thing cuz i know for sure they're not married and ive played the game and theres nothing about it in there

[Aerisfanatic]

ok people...these are the facts:

1.cloud isn't wearing a ring

2. tifa's ring has the cloudy wolf on it...

3. it's in the same finger where an engagement ring could be...

get the point?

i think it is actually an engagement ring


XDDDDDDDDDD sugoooooooooi
First of all cloud cant even talk about his feelings let alone propose...

Second of all if cloud did propose, which would be a nightmare to me, he would have the decency to picked out better ring than that, particularly an engagement ring. Sure tifa is sort of the tom boy type but she does have taste.

Thirdly, they wouldnt keep a character relationship like that off screen.

Also i wear a ring on my "engagement ring" finger, and i am not getting married.

And since i see the images on top its probobly just a friendship thing, like the ribbons that represent aeris' friedship and also being connected to them after death (which also explains why tifa doesnt have one in kingdom hearts II).

And denzel is not cloud and tifa son, because how many 2 year olds run around looking like 12 year olds, and how many kids adress their parents by their first names?
