Avalanche member and martial artist · Nibelheim / Midgar

Tifa runs Seventh Heaven and is connected to Cloud through their shared hometown. Her memories and doubts become crucial to understanding his story.

  • Story: Her role expands from Midgar support to a central part in reconstructing Cloud’s past. Her relationship with the party is built through practical loyalty as well as personal history.
  • In the game: Tifa is a close-range fighter whose Limits use timed slots. Practise the input and keep her equipment current; relying on a Limit chain is less useful if she cannot survive until it becomes available.
