If Tifa and Aerith fought...

[atlanteay]

Well first of all lets say they were fighting in the game of FFVII Aerith would win as it would be turn based and she would use her Great Gospel... Id like to see Tifa do damage to someone who is invincible, secondly she has many great healing abilitys, yea she may be physically weak but she has awesom magical capeabilitys and like in D&D who would win a fight out of a wizard and a fighter?

1- Tifa has the higher speed and would win init. Aerith cannot use gospel if Tifa pwns her first.
4- Actually, to make a D&D comparison, it's comparing the cleric to the monk, which is a whole different kettle of fish.

1. I'm sorry but thats rubish, we arent talking about the movie where battles are set in Real Time we are talking about a battle inside the game where the battle would be Turn Based so the battle would go somthing like this:
Tifa: attack
Aerith: Fire (or some other magical spell)
(and say for instance Tifa is faster as you say maybe she would get 2 turns thus filling up Aeriths limit bar that much faster.
half way through the fight Aerith uses Great Gospel and she is now invincible
Tifa: FINAL HEAVEN!!!!
Aerith: takes 0 damage
Tifa: "Oh crap"
4. I'm sorry but thats a load of Bull, Aerith is recognised as the mage of FFVII and as such she would be a mage in any such D&D comparison, its just the fact that practically no one used her as a mage its their loss.

well. if tifa gets two turns to hit Aerith then might i add that she would be dead pretty soon :rolleyes2 if you think about it, two hits that can fill the bar means pretty strong hits and Aerith is not exactly the best defender so that means she'll be dead before she even gets to use Great Gospel.

Cloud: By the way… Why is it that when you use materia you can also use magic
too?

Sephiroth: You were in SOLDIER and didn't even know that? …the knowledge and
wisdom of the Ancients is held in the materia. Anyone with this knowledge can
freely use the powers of the Land and the Planet. That knowledge interacts
between ourselves and the planet calling up magic……or so they say.

so that proves that anyone with the White Materia can summon holy. Aerith just happened to have a mother with that materia who gaved it to her.
