You are now singing to yourself:
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"CID LOOKS LIKE A LADY"
You're welcome
But being dead serious about this, I don't think I can fathom the amount of raging boners that Japan has on a yearly basis.
I think we can all agree that Yoshitaka Amano's women were pretty tastefully clothed at this point, don't you?
Not all of them, but for the most part. Amano really liked his costumes, he'd put a lot of work into giving each character something really interesting to wear.
My hypothesis is that it would be a much more progressive nation if they didn't censor their porn.But being dead serious about this, I don't think I can fathom the amount of raging boners that Japan has on a yearly basis.
Tifa's boobs are very big for her small frame. You have the frame to support larger breasts. Tifa doesn't, and she's a kick boxer besides. The only two people I know who have been physically active with small frames and large breasts had them reduced. The people I know with large breasts who haven't had them reduced are not physically active and have larger frames, though two of the three still complain of back issues.
According to this wiki, Tifa is 5'5". Three of the four sources cited for her height are that (167 cm = 5'5"). It doesn't list a weight.
Now, plugging that height into a BMI calculator along with the hypothetical weight of 150 lbs (conservative for her tiny tummy, but she is very muscled) produces a BMI of 25, in the "overweight" category. Tifa would be overweight at anything over 150 lbs. That is the maximum healthy weight for a woman of her height.
How much of that is her exocrine glands? According to this (NSFW!! Science), breasts weigh between 1.1 and 2.2 pounds each, and (I guess) tend to be close in weight to each other.
I calculated what percent of 150 lbs 4.4 is, and it comes out to almost 3%.
What happens as her weight goes down, but not the weight of her breasts?
Assuming a weight of 125 gives us the BMI of 20.8, (right in the middle of the normal weight zone) and her breasts (assumed to still be 4.4 lbs total) are now 3.5% of her total body weight.
Anything under about 110 would be dangerously unhealthy, and certainly not supportive of a martial artist's calorie needs. At 110 her breasts become a solid 4% of her total body weight.
This really doesn't seem like much, and it suddenly occurs to me: large breasts aren't difficult on the back because of their weight...it's constantly having to wear a tight strap around your back to hold them in place, and move them away from things, because the bigger they are, the more sensitive they are.
But I can't really know, as I (obviously) have never had the pleasure of owning a pair.
Sorry, but this is incredibly wrong. They are uncomfortable with or without bras and it is because of the weight, and also because it puts unnecessary stress on parts of your body that are not accustomed to unnecessary stress, even to a small degree. It might not sound like much, but try to strap 9-20 pounds worth of weights to your pecks and walk around with them and see how great your neck feels after just a few days. It is not awesome. Additionally, the glands you mentioned to not make up the entire weight/mass of breasts. There is quite a bit of fat and tissue as well.
However, with that being said, bras do not add for comfort, but they are not the main source of the discomfort.
There's no way Tifa is 150 pounds. She is likely closer to 120-125, possibly even less because of her physique and training, and should probably be a B cup or less if we are going for accurate proportions. But she does not appear to be a B cup, so Shlup's points stand.
Sorry, until you have to carry D cups on a slim frame around, Spooniest, you can't say it's not uncomfortable
I love going braless when I know I'm not doing anything that day, but it is certainly easier to go about my day with them fastened in. I really hope Tifa is wearing a good sports bra, because with all that jumping around she's going to hurt herself more than anyone else...
The Never-Ending Thread of Excessive Breast Size.
Related: After some excessive eating, I am in danger of entering the realms of bra-wearing myself.
Tangentially related: How poor representation of women damages gameplay 101:
1) Women usually get shoved into the 'healer' role.
2) The women usually get kidnapped by the bad guy.
3) You spend big chunks of a game without a healer!! fffffuuu
I'm playing one of the Tales games at the moment where that happened. It's very frustrating. Then of course in FFIX you effectively lose Dagger for a chunk of it (and no Eiko is not an acceptable replacement). FFX, same thing with Yuna. Pretty sure at least one Star Ocean game pulled the same.
I guess one upside of the bro-fest that is FFXV means we won't have to worry about that.
Properly on topic: So I had my attention drawn to a shot of one of Noctis's swords and it was pointed out to me that it had a freaking motorcycle engine on it. This is, of course, ridiculous. But I guess they're taking the 'road trip' theme very seriously. If they are actually engines for some reason, and given that Cidney's a mechanic... perhaps an armourer as well?
Removing any of your core party members from the lineup for a length of time is annoying in general.

This always annoys me too. Same with guys always being the best tanks/DPS. I find it refreshing when it's different. FFII did this well - best healer in the game was a dude. FFXIII was thankfully pretty balanced and broke a lot of stereotypes, mind you, notably with two ladies being the best fighters in the game and Hope pushing Vanille for best healer.
