Final Fantasy 7 Fan Shows Off Tifa Lockhart Cosplay | Game Rant
Cloud Strife’s childhood friend Tifa Lockhart is arguably one of the most popular female video characters in history, with a reputation known globally due to her role in the original Final Fantasy 7 and her return in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Given her popularity and the community’s seemingly genuine like of her character, a fan recently showcased her admiration for Tifa by sharing her cosplay on the forum platform Reddit.
There seems to be no shortage to the amount of love shown for Tifa Lockhart in the Final Fantasy 7 community, whether online or offline. The character has been the basis of many other fan-created content, with others modding her in popular fighting games such as Tekken, re-creating iconic love scenes from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and even pro-wrestlers wearing her outfit in official matches. Square Enix itself seems to have recognized her fame by continuously including her in other titles such as Kingdom Hearts 2, Dissidia Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, among others.
On the Final Fantasy subReddit, user lettuceown shared a single photo of her Tifa Lockhart cosplay, wearing the new outfit from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Most fans will likely recall that Tifa received an upgraded look that may be similar, yet still completely different from her original attire in FF7. Though lettuceown was not able to share a full-body photo, the hair, suspenders, sports top, and skirt were complimented by the forum users as very accurate.
Some of the replies lamented that lettuceown’s cosplay lacked some minute details such as Tifa’s standard red bracers in FF7 Remake, and even the metal plates that adorned her gloves. Others were supportive and suggested that the cosplayer also create and model Tifa's other weapons in Final Fantasy 7 Remake such as the Mythril Claws and Purple Pain. Given the sheer amount of negative replies, the subReddit thread has been locked by the moderators, and now users will only be able to view the cosplay without being able to express their admiration of it.
Lettuceown’s cosplay will not likely be the only one that will pop up in the Reddit forums in the near future. With Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade hitting the PS5 within days, cosplayers will likely celebrate the launch by making new costumes or taking their previously made ones out of the closet. Hopefully the online community will treat cosplayers with respect and kindness as they all share their common love for Tifa Lockhart and Final Fantasy 7.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is available now for PS4, with the PS5 version for release on June 10th.
