I noticed that on western websites gamers either love it or really hate it, i also saw a lot complaining about the Censorship since she now has a black undershirt and her legs are covered, some people also complained about her boobs getting smaller, so the reactions are all over the place but what about Japanese gamers?

I went to 2ch since there you will find their true feelings on the matter without the influence of mods or shaming from other members since they are all anonymous,
keep in mind that their posts are google translated but you will understand what they mean and you will be surprised by some hilarious posts

2chan is as representative of "Japanese gamers" as 4chan is representative of western gamers.

IE: Not at all.

 

[Paracelsus]

Valid question, she looks 30.

I.E A perfect representation.

FTFY.

 

[Pagusas]

Who gives a damn what they think, the model looks great, I think it’s the best Tifa we could have got.

 

[Airbus Jr]

dont care with what they think

 

[The Shepard]

I don't get the new look tifa hate, I think she looks great. Her animation in battle is excellent aswell.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Japanese Gamers > Western Gamers

You didn't fix anything. Anyone who thinks that 2Chan is representative of Japanese gamers has never spoken with one.

But 4chan IS a true representative of western gamers, remove the mods from this forum and you will see it turning into another 4chan.

dont care with what they think

Then why are you here?

And you think this forum (or any forum) is representative of western gamers?

Boy, I've got some news for you.

 

[Shin]

It's hit and miss depending on the image, in some pictures she look as per old while the image below is just wrong.

Then why are you here?

You post the news

People reaction are going to be one of these

1. they care about what these japanese people think

2. they dont care about what these japanese people think

And im the second one

Her design doesnt bother me to not play the game

 

[Shifty]

Typically the response to option 2 is to not waste your time writing out a post to that effect.

 

[shark sandwich]

I’ll stick with my old OG Tifa love pillow.

And why should we care about what those people think?

We cannot control what other people think
and those are not our concern anyway

No-filter madness coming to the fore in an unmoderated environment? YOU DON'T SAY

That doesn't however mean that everyone suddenly becomes the bloke from the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. There are posters who wouldn't engage with or be represented by that kind of environment, ergo your assertion that 4chan == gamer culture is nonsense.

And why should we care about what those people think?

Those are not our concerned

Speak for yourself. Why pray tell should your fellow gaffers care about what you think?

That attitude cuts both ways.

I never ask you to care about what i think

Just cut these useless debate already

its getting anoying

Posters above me(Pagusas) share the same opinion

Why not ask him the same question?

 

[checkcola]

The actual deal becomes, why should anyone care what anyone else thinks?

When people say original Tifa, what are the pointing to? The anime art, the FMV, the battle scenes, the in-game character during story moments? I think with Final Fantasy 7, people have an idea how any one of this characters should look because graphical abilities at that time was ruff and presentation was different at points in the game, so of course there's not going to be consensus concerning the remake.

 

[mejin]

Did they see Black Widow? I'm more than happy with Tifa. lmao

 

[Gormless Noodle]

I would have been the first to nag if her design were to be fucked up and SJW'd, but she looks acceptable to me. Looked cuter in Advent Children though.

 

[ParanoidRED]

She looks great

 

[Shifty]

Because Pagusas actually bothered to opine about the Tifa model and thus add something to the conversation past "I don't care".

And I'll cut out my 'annoying' 'useless debate' callouts when you cut out your 'annoying' 'useless' shitposting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Pagusas]

Lmao! Seriously, even if you have issues with Tifa’s final look, just take a look at Avengers and see how bad it could have been. They have the best artist in the company working of FFVII.

 

[lifa-cobex]

I fixed it perfectly.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

feel like the Tifa fallout has been pretty minimal, all considering. kinda seems like most everyone agrees it's a pretty good design. yeah they will never make everyone satisfied but i think they came really close.

Good, Im happy we can come with a good understanding and respect each other

[Dr. Claus]

2chan is as representative of "Japanese gamers" as 4chan is representative of western gamers.

Not to mention this is incredibly cherry picked. A quick look at 2channel right now and you can easily see these people being dwarfed by others who love the design.

 

[mortal]

Whatever, I think she looks solid. It's funny what 22 years worth of hentai and sexy fan art does to people's perceptions.

I love the pleated leather skirt look and her new gauntlets looks sick. The thigh highs I'm indifferent towards. It's a different sort of sexy, I suppose.

 

[Javthusiast]

She looks fine. We at least don't get the western Black Widow faces in this game.

 

[manfestival]

Did they see Black Widow? I'm more than happy with Tifa. lmao

Yeah black widow was awful but this is apples to oranges here. Western development vs eastern. No real comparison.

 

[Spukc]

I like the cowmilk boing boing

 

[#Phonepunk#]

can't wait to see Dolphin Blow

 

[caffeware]

 

[Ryllix_]

Her design is great. People need to go back and see that she doesn't look like what they remember in their head.

 

[shark sandwich]

She looks great. She’s attractive, shows some skin, and has large breasts.

She doesn’t look like some stupid hentai drawing with comically large cartoon tits.

Great character design IMO. I don’t get the backlash.

 

[Fuz]

Who gives a damn what they think, the model looks great, I think it’s the best Tifa we could have got.

No.

 

[Animagic]

She looks good to me. I don’t get the hate

"You can see why FF15 failed"

Except it didn't? I don't like XV at all but it was objectively a success.

Final Fantasy XV Sales Hit 8.4 Million Shipped Worldwide

Square Enix has shared a new sales update for Final Fantasy XV confirming that the game has now shipped 8.4 million copies worldwide. Final Fantasy XV

What dumbasses lol

Yep. it was a huge success to the point of forcing Square Enix to cancel all the future DLCs and fire the director of the game at the same time.

lol come on dude.

 

[Honey Bunny]

releasing this on pc could begin a sea change in japanese platform preferences with the tifa mods alone

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Personally I think she'd look better in a teeny weeny string bikini, but I understand why they stuck with that design.

 

[Nymphae]

When people say original Tifa, what are the pointing to?

For me? This image

And for my money, the model is close enough to this, I don't get the controversy. My enjoyment of this game isn't hinging on the size of her tits.

 

[Bernkastel]

They didn't fire Tabata. He left.

 

[base]

She looks great. Her boobs are smaller than in the ending FMV in FF7 ;-)

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I don’t think SE/Nomura caved to the SJWs. The remake Tifa is mostly faithful. Plus, someone in another thread showed a post from Era complaining about her design, so I think SE did something right

 

[Tumle]

I played FF7 back when I was a teenager.. and I don’t remember any sexual undertones that the new model is missing.. she was a mother or something to that extent if I remember right..so her looking 30’ish isn’t that wrong..

and remember I was a teenager, I could masturbate to almost anything..

 

[The Chairman]

They didn't fire Tabata. He left.

Sure he did
