A Sephiroth story:P "Before Crisis"...You could concider Star Scar syndrom to be a crisis,and thus they would make a compacted version of FFVII the original. If you concider the metor "Save the planet" a crisis(perhpas the true crisis of the two) then parhpas they are going to do a Sephiroth or Zack story. Something before the game began.
Very intresting acticle. Thanks much for posting it
Since no one else seems to have posted this, there have been some new magazine scans floating around on the web. The quality is pretty bad, but here ye go:
Reno and Rude
Vincent I think plus Cloud and his sword.
Tifa
Tifa again I think, not completely sure
ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
Has to be Tifa. The hair gives it away.

TIFA! TIFAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At last, at LONG LAST, my most favorite FF female returns. After much worry and wondering....
BEST....REDESIGN.....EVER.
I kept telling everyone they'd put her in black. I love being right.
She has come out even more beautiful and awesome looking than I imagined. And she clearly has an active role here, taking on the biggest of the three enemies (I knew they'd fight, since they're the only characters who use their fists).
And best of all, this should finally dispel all that crap about Tifa being a sex object. Of all the nonsense I've heard over the years about her short skirt and breasts. This new look is a breath of fresh air. It gives her a more realistic style without sacrificing her sexiness.
If only I could see the look on those naysayers faces right now. Tifa is now the best looking character in this movie after Cloud.
I beg to differ. *drools over Vincent summore*
Honestly though, I'm rather pleased to see Marlene, assuming that is her. Hopefully she'll play at least a decent role in the movie - she's so cute! XD;
EDIT: By the way, very randomly (I spent way too long drooling over Vincent, yes...), anyone else think that it looks like he's standing in front of Lucrecia's waterfall thing from the game? Doesn't have anything to do with anything, but...

I agree, I love her design. She looks gorgeous. Such a mature, beautiful face.
Actually,where he comes in is on your way to the forgotten capital. It looks much like it,appearing as if it is underwater.If that is the same shot,then it would be there.
:: joins in the vincent drooling ::
EDIT: Now all we need is Zack to appear,and i'll be drowing in happyness
Ahhh, you're right. My bad. ^^ Would be nice to have Zack appear, wouldn't it? *still deperately hoping for Yuffie* By the way, your sig is awesome. o_o *drools summore*
I don't suppose you could make me a similar one with Tifa kicking the guy?
I'm glad to see the overally positive outlook on Tifa's look. I know I wasn't the only one who was most curious about her look, and now it looks like I'm not the only one who loves the redesign. Of all the FF redesigns, this one beats Squall's KH look for best FF redesign ever. Nothing else beats it, certainly not Yuna's short shorts, or Rikku's 3/4 naked attire.
Here's some more things to consider when looking at the pics.
For the record, I'm pro Cloud/Tifa. VERY pro Cloud/Tifa. I know it's an endless debate (which will hopeully HAVE an end by the end of this movie), but I also always thought it was obvious. Aside from the chemistry that developed between the two near the end, their getting together fits the theme of FFVII: Moving on. Cloud, Tifa, and the others learned to move on with their lives, and forget their pasts, so the same idea can apply to Cloud moving on with Tifa.
Besides, I doubt it was mere coincidence that their outfits match.
Also, consider the ring Cloud wears. It's being sold online in pairs. Hmm (squints to see if Tifa is wearing the other).
The most curious things to consider is why she's fighting in Aeris' Church, as well as the angelic feathers surrounding her. Could Tifa be bearing witness to a certain resurrection? Or could she actually play some importance to the grand scheme of things? Despite the constant "Tifa vs Aeris" debates, I don't think anyone doubts that the two had a very close, nearly sisterlike friendship. All you had to do was watch Tifa's reaction to Aeris' death to be convinced. It's touching if she somehow connects to Aeris in the afterlife.
Next, the fight with the oldest villain. You're right, I'm also pretty nervous to see how it fares. After all, this guy sent Cloud flying with just a punch. Is it below him to hit girls? Will Tifa show just how much ass she can kick, or is she in for a painful beating, which Cloud will have to bail her out? I'm just ecstatic that Square is putting their motion capture to good use. Expect to see lots of cool martial arts in Tifa's end.
Also, her new outfit really resembles Misato's from Evangelion. The top part, anyway.
To talk a little more about the old slut debate: To me, that was the absolute worst thing FF "fans" have ever done. To spend so much time and energy insisting that she is "the defacto sex symbol of FF", that "her boobs are ultra ginormous", or "she was Square's answer to Laura Croft" has taken a huge toll on my sanity. Fanarts, fansites, and even fanfiction (most that I'm not allowed to discuss, not that you'd want to hear it anyway) has kept this going on forever. It was as if her strong story and personality just went right over their heads as they prattled on how "she used her tits to balance herself on the cliff at the end". It even would go far enough with lines like "she won't show up in the movie, because Square is embarrased to show her". I've never been more ashamed to call myself an FF fan. EGM was right, we ARE the worst kind of fans.
I won't play complete ignorance, though. I'm aware her assets were bigger than average, but last time I checked, so were nearly every other game character, FF included (Celes always looked pretty stacked to me, being a sprite and all). I don't understand why Tifa got so much attention.
But I can safely put all the blame toward one particular scene. Or rather, two.

Nope, FFVII's FMV has NOT aged well over the years. Or even by the time FFVIII came out. Yes, Tifa's breasts have been disgustingly rendered to a cartoonish exaggeration. But couldn't fans have realized this was a first effort for Square, and look past the amatuerish mistakes? I never heard anyone complain about Cloud's mishappen torso, or Barret's ungodly huge feet. Nope, they actually assumed Tifa's chest was like that throughout the game. I don't want to sound arrogant, but is common sense a lost art?
That said, I'm very, very glad Nomura didn't let the outcry get to him (or is it nonexistant in Japan?), and thus reduce her chest to an embarassingly notable size. She's still packing enough upstairs to compliment the rest of her good lucks, but not sacrificing her athletic build.
I know it won't put a stop to the whole slut talk though. It won't be long before you start hearing "breast reduction" jokes and so forth. But at least this proves once and for all how utterly WRONG they have been about Tifa, and that Square truly values her as one of their most popular and beloved characters (though that should have been obvious enough by the continued homage to her design in each FF afterwards). Aeris isn't the only one beloved for her character rather than her look.
Though I am curious to see how she'd look in her original outfit in the movie.
Also, I have no more doubts that A) she'll show up in KHII, and they're doing a game after this. With a look that awesome, Square is bound to show it off. I can't wait for the figurine.
