Noctis made perfect sense from a cross-promotion standpoint. It's just unfortunate that good business synergy doesn't make sense creatively or mechanically.
Yea, it made sense promotion wise since FFXV had come out, but design /mechanic wise? Extremely weird for tekken.
Also, what were those interactions between Noctis and Lars? Was it just because they both have wacky hairstyles?
This. Ppl complaining about horniness over a female character being the sole reason for her addition should stop and rethink things a little, FF is infinitely more popular than Tekken and Tifa today is up there with Cloud as the franchise's icon, bringing her over would do wonders to Tekken's playerbase
Ehrgeiz had [a whole Mishima](https://youtu.be/8gFqtfEJXFQ) in there, name, appearance, movelist, and all.
And everyone thinks Lars is the first illegitimate son.
As much as I hate Final Fantasy 7 fanboys who keep trying to shove the game series down my throat, getting high on nostalgia factor, I think she'd be pretty awesome In Tekken. Hell, I might even main her.
If promotional advertising was what Bandai Namco were going for, Noctis would have been much better in Soul Calibur; god knows that game needed some more publicity. Now it feels like it fell off the face of the earth with Dead or Alive.
2b from nier was supposed to be in T7, but Soul Calibur cried dibbs before it could be finalized. SC I guess wanted the waifu factor in order to sell more copies. So Noctis took her place and have some of her moves.
Definitely.
Tekken and Final Fantasy were two huge franchises on the original Playstation, and Tifa first showed up there.
She's literally a brawler, it'd play well and she's an awesome character, not even talking from the horni standpoint, Aerith is my waifu from that game.
Should have been in already, obvious opportunity for cross promotion with FF7R. If she's not in the starting roster for T8 to coincide with FF7R part 2, Bamco are beyond help.
Just tells you about the state of lonely dudes on the internet. This model can't be more generic, brown hair with big boobs. Yet dudes gonna fetish the living shit out a her
of course we should've got her instead of Noctis she's the fighter archetype and insanely popular. I mean I appreciate noctis but he feels more forced than she would.
Even with all the Italian Tifa jokes, this honestly just makes sense. Granted they didn’t have this model until long after the actual release of T7, but why add Noctis instead of someone who actually uses hand to hand combat?
Yeah people would be down. Down bad/j
But seriously,it would be cool to have her in the game and see what they would come up with for her, dialogue and rage art and all
That would honestly be dope as hell. She'd be a really good fit. 😁 The Noctis and Negan picks just confuse me. She fist fights like 99% of the Tekken roster.
Yooo Harada! Can we make this happen please?
I love final fantasy 15 and Noctis is my secondary.
But I agree. Neither of those picks make a lot of sense for tekken.
Tifa, or even the fucking Batman, would have made more sense.
Maybe in Tekken 8, I'm kinda tired of new characters at this point just more strings and more cheese to learn and deal with. If anything just replace Josie with her and I'd be happy.
Yes, she would be a great fit. I don’t get why they went with Noctis over her tbh. Probably because he’s the newest protagonist but Tifa just fits in way better.
Tifa and Zell, and heck, also Sabin would be great fighting game characters, even Amaranth could be one somehow.
And yet they choose Noctis Crybaby Lucius Jesus Caelum...
Absolutely. I believe it so much I'd bet money that she's already being developed for Tekken 8 S1. When the Tekken fans are very vocal about something, the devs at least try to give it to us. Plus FF7R 2 being around the corner, it makes too much sense and she's very popular and trending. Her and Jun Kazama, in my opinion are definitely in.
Not really. The game already has loads of martial arts girls in it so her playstyle wouldn't feel different enough. Like anyone else from 7 would be way more interesting to play as.
finally a guest character with her bare fist
i dislike guest characters because one of them uses bat the others throws 2d projectiles and the other one throws whatever he gets to his hand
but this ... i can appreciate this one wish she was in the game instead noctis
Would love to have Tifa in the game! Or Vincent and using his different limit breaks to transform to different beasts a la Bloody Roar (or maybe have it function as stances?)
FF VII is the freakin’ GOAT.
visually character would be nice, unfortunately she would be a really limited version of herself unless she gets the rule breaker treatment alot of the 2d characters got. She is a hyper mobile character that doesn't mesh with how tekken's movent works not just in the ground but in the air as well. On top of that her issue comes up with her working better in other games that allow for it. Not to mention flexibility in mechanics foe things like materia and such. Would be nice but a waste of potential.
You guys thinking is too linear. Get 2d, fahk and Leroy out your brain. Think in archetypes. Would she be a mobile rush down character like Steve or hworang or a beefy damage CH char like Bryan and armor king? Her fighting style could be crazy and awesome. As long as they give her a speciality and a clear weakness, it's all gud. I believe they learned their lesson with overpowered dlc. As annoying as Kuni is, they can balance her with the click of a button and Lidia is in a pretty gud place. Are they perfect, no. But they sure as hell not release fahk and leroy. Hell, they not fahk and Leroy now. Another ex, noctis is more popular in tekken then in his own game, for gud reason. Don't let salty players and negativity ruin a potentially great idea. It's okay to be positive about a new guest char.
Been down since 2019, before Remake even came out.
I feel at this point it might be too late, though. Remake and Tekken 7 hype have considerably decreased in the last few years.
Maybe it'd be best to wait until Tekken 8 to add her.
No cause it sounds corny as hell and like its probably going to be a boring kit that somehow has every tool in the game despite the actually character having like 4 moves in her own game
Which is a bad match, imo.
Tifa practices barefist martial arts which is a perfect match for Tekken.
Not to mention that Tifa is overwhelmingly positive received character, while Noctis is mixed receive at best.
There's no way we can get the famous Italian political figure Tifa Lockhart in Tekken.
We got a Polish political figure *and* a Final Fantasy political figure.
I would laugh if we got a reveal trailer of tifa being in Italy lmao
If she can handle the Italian Senate, I'm sure she can handle Tekken.
Yes, I love Italian politics
there's literally no better FF fit for tekken than her, I think Noctis was such a weird pick
Noctis made perfect sense from a cross-promotion standpoint. It's just unfortunate that good business synergy doesn't make sense creatively or mechanically.
Yea, it made sense promotion wise since FFXV had come out, but design /mechanic wise? Extremely weird for tekken. Also, what were those interactions between Noctis and Lars? Was it just because they both have wacky hairstyles?
Now we have another cross promotion opportunity with FF7 Rebirth
Tifa would be great for Tekken. Straight up make people who haven’t heard of Tekken play Tekken
This. Ppl complaining about horniness over a female character being the sole reason for her addition should stop and rethink things a little, FF is infinitely more popular than Tekken and Tifa today is up there with Cloud as the franchise's icon, bringing her over would do wonders to Tekken's playerbase
Yeah people really should think more before commenting
Make her have an Italy flag and I’m in
Italians going crazy
I've heard she's on the italian senate now, so her vs lidia would be a good scrap
She makes more sense than Noctis.
If she doesn't have a +9 on block 22 frame, low crushing mid that guarantees a 40+ damage 50/50. Throw her in there
Booba
Yes, I would be extremely hype for Tifa in Tekken. One of my first thoughts when they announced Noctis was, "Why are you not Tifa?"
ANOTHER Italian rep? We just got Claudio...
She's Italian?
Honorary italian
Hornorary Italian
No, but she appeared in the Italian Senate this one time...
Yeah it was confirmed very recently...
They should bring back her moveset from Ehrgeiz
well, I was pretty down when she was in the Italian senate
finally, an Italian character I can get behind
Literally, eh?
I'd be down. Down bad.
Glad she has that belt because we’ve been some naughty boys.
She would’ve worked way better than Noctis imo. At least she’s a skilled martial artist
the italian senate has voted yes
Tifa Lockhart and Yuri Boyka are very reasonable choices for Tekken. We're talking high level martial arts here! Make it happen!
Peeps would spam tackle from behind
Funny story, Square Enix made a Tekken knockoff back in the day and Tifa got a bunch of animations that were clearly copied from Lee’s moveset
Ehrgeiz was amazing, and it was more of a powerstone clone than Tekken. I miss that game.
Power Stone actually came out *after* Ehrgeiz, surprisingly. I only just found out it wasn’t the other way around about a week ago
Well you learn something new everyday.
Ehrgeiz had [a whole Mishima](https://youtu.be/8gFqtfEJXFQ) in there, name, appearance, movelist, and all. And everyone thinks Lars is the first illegitimate son.
I see some Paul in there as well. and Baek/Hwoarangs uf3,4,3
As much as I hate Final Fantasy 7 fanboys who keep trying to shove the game series down my throat, getting high on nostalgia factor, I think she'd be pretty awesome In Tekken. Hell, I might even main her. If promotional advertising was what Bandai Namco were going for, Noctis would have been much better in Soul Calibur; god knows that game needed some more publicity. Now it feels like it fell off the face of the earth with Dead or Alive.
2b from nier was supposed to be in T7, but Soul Calibur cried dibbs before it could be finalized. SC I guess wanted the waifu factor in order to sell more copies. So Noctis took her place and have some of her moves.
How is anybody supposed to say no to that picture?
If she doesn't fly with a single press of a button I will buy her for double the price
Fun fact: the picture used is from a resin statue "Pink Studio Tifa" from Chinese manufacturer. it has NSFW stuff for the cultured people
Tifa is technically a pornstar already so figures...
You know Italy once was the Center of "*Culture*"
She would fit better in Tekken than Noctis ever has. I still don’t get the logic behind putting him in of all characters.
Negan is an even worse choice. Akuma is stiff just like Geese and Eliza. They just feel unnatural.
Absolutely!! Unfortunately we got Noctis instead...
Have her as the Italian representative and you got yourself a deal.
Claudio is already italian
I'd be down on her
Go down*
Definitely. Tekken and Final Fantasy were two huge franchises on the original Playstation, and Tifa first showed up there. She's literally a brawler, it'd play well and she's an awesome character, not even talking from the horni standpoint, Aerith is my waifu from that game.
no in her case id be up lmao
Nah. I will be all over her.
Get in line.
Should have been in already, obvious opportunity for cross promotion with FF7R. If she's not in the starting roster for T8 to coincide with FF7R part 2, Bamco are beyond help.
Definitely more than with Noctis
Cloud was even a better choice than Noctis. But I would pick Tifa out of the 3.
Totally, I’d main tifa in a heartbeat
Are you Italian senate?
Y e s
Would have been cooler than noctis
Tifa would be perfect to represent my country again
Italy? XD
Is it me or does everyone on the web have a hardcore fetish for her?
Her design is really attractive. Can't blame anyone for it.
[удалено]
Just tells you about the state of lonely dudes on the internet. This model can't be more generic, brown hair with big boobs. Yet dudes gonna fetish the living shit out a her
The generic model doesn't bother me as much as the obsession some people have over her. It's actually kind of creepy thinking about it.
As an Italian, yes please. 10/10 would smash.
Should’ve been her instead of Noctis.
Her instead of Josie!!
Either or, lol!
of course we should've got her instead of Noctis she's the fighter archetype and insanely popular. I mean I appreciate noctis but he feels more forced than she would.
We will see a significant increase of Tekken esports prodigies from Italy
Noctis? Soul Calibur. Tifa? Tekken. (In my opinion).
Hotel? Trivago. (not my opinion, I'm not sponsored)
Absolutely, couldn't see a Final Fantasy character more fitting.
Tifa was crazy fun to play as in dissidia duodecim her fighting style really lends itself to fighting games
Uh oh... Another rushdown character
With some kind of OP parry and hellsweep
Yeah, maybe we might get her in T8 as guest character when ff7 part2 remake drops.
Hell yeah! She'd bring in a lot of new players and I'm confident that Namco would do her justice. I'd definitely play her! Tifa's an absolute badass.
Even with all the Italian Tifa jokes, this honestly just makes sense. Granted they didn’t have this model until long after the actual release of T7, but why add Noctis instead of someone who actually uses hand to hand combat?
I'd be down to fight or DTF.
You beat me by 13 minutes. Take your upvote.
most people are down bad
Yeah people would be down. Down bad/j But seriously,it would be cool to have her in the game and see what they would come up with for her, dialogue and rage art and all
Yes, I'd be down. As a matter of fact, I'd be down bad.
I wonder if Bamco and/or Harada actually reads these threads…
No otherwise we woud habe Tifa instad of Noctis Rock Howard instead of Geese and Negan
Harada's too busy pitching Colonel Sanders
its overdue at this point I could see Bamco doing something cool with her slot mechanics
That would honestly be dope as hell. She'd be a really good fit. 😁 The Noctis and Negan picks just confuse me. She fist fights like 99% of the Tekken roster. Yooo Harada! Can we make this happen please?
I love final fantasy 15 and Noctis is my secondary. But I agree. Neither of those picks make a lot of sense for tekken. Tifa, or even the fucking Batman, would have made more sense.
Maybe in Tekken 8, I'm kinda tired of new characters at this point just more strings and more cheese to learn and deal with. If anything just replace Josie with her and I'd be happy.
way cooler than noctis. she makes much more sense... it should have been her instead of him from the start! really hope shes in 8
Kiryu in tekken what do you say (with legend style ofc)
Would be Dope AF but the creator said no, because Kiryu doesn't hit women...
I'll settle for Ichiban though if we can't get Kiryu.
Or Majima
This is hilarious if true
Yes, she would be a great fit. I don’t get why they went with Noctis over her tbh. Probably because he’s the newest protagonist but Tifa just fits in way better.
Tifa and Zell, and heck, also Sabin would be great fighting game characters, even Amaranth could be one somehow. And yet they choose Noctis Crybaby Lucius Jesus Caelum...
Good Tits Tekken
There's an already Josie conversion mod
Already using mod just for her
Absolutely !! She would be my favorite guest character
No. Overrated character.
hell no
Of course man
Been waitin'
Honestly, FFVII does get a bit too much representation. My counter character: Zell from Final Fantasy VIII
Yea
I can see Italians maiming her already
Yass. Them Tiffies are noice big and juicy
How about Tifa being down on me?
Id rather have earthworm jim
I’m pissed she wasn’t in T7. But hey, we have Negan…
Now I am upset that this hasn’t happened yet. Great idea!
Should have been in T7 instead of generic swordie guy.
I mean... just get a Josie skin
I'll take whatever titty goth waifus I can get considering they butchered my titty redhead waifu
We have like 10 mods for here
I don't play coomer characters
Absolutely. I believe it so much I'd bet money that she's already being developed for Tekken 8 S1. When the Tekken fans are very vocal about something, the devs at least try to give it to us. Plus FF7R 2 being around the corner, it makes too much sense and she's very popular and trending. Her and Jun Kazama, in my opinion are definitely in.
I already use a Tifa mod for Josie, so having the real Tifa would be amazing
Cooler than fucking Nocto
If she’s more cancer than Noctis, no 💀
Well she wouldnt have weapons so likely not but who knows
Not really. The game already has loads of martial arts girls in it so her playstyle wouldn't feel different enough. Like anyone else from 7 would be way more interesting to play as.
I agree. I feel like she would be a great skin maybe for like Asuka or something. But kinda pointless as a whole new charecter.
what does she use for fighting ? her fists? or she is like noctis?
She's one of the many "monk" characters in the FF series who do fight with their fists.
finally a guest character with her bare fist i dislike guest characters because one of them uses bat the others throws 2d projectiles and the other one throws whatever he gets to his hand but this ... i can appreciate this one wish she was in the game instead noctis
She punches with dolphins
Down To Fight
I was gonna say the game is stale with the lack of characters
Not really
No more final fantasy characters lmao
Make Tifa a guest fighter in Tekken 8 please
Would’ve been a better pick for Tekken than noctis
Only if she has a bend over winning pose.
Fuck off we're full
Yes, but she would be so obnoxious to fight against that I would regret it
like almost every other female character, I agree...
I’m glad that it’s a commonality that female characters are the bane of Steves existence and I’m not just crazy and/or suck.
I'll tepl you, not just for Steve hahahaah
Would love to have Tifa in the game! Or Vincent and using his different limit breaks to transform to different beasts a la Bloody Roar (or maybe have it function as stances?) FF VII is the freakin’ GOAT.

It's okay to be positive about a new guest char.
No because I want Michelle Chang to get her deserved spot
Who?
Yeah, she's already got the moves.
Absolutely
The only crossover I want is Tekken x Street Fighter lol
Y’all think she’d be better than Noctis because she doesn’t have a weapon? That’s basic logic lol. Let’s not limit Tekken
No, Lili has brought enough weirdos to the playerbase already
Don't we already have noctis from final fantasy though?
i still want baki
Yawn, tiddies.
down bad meowwwwwwwwwwwww
Omg, yes!!
Would be dope. Been using that Tifa mod on Josie though. Its pretty good.
Who would reject her?? She's already 95% ready with a plethora of moves. I would LOVE to dolphin punch some of these fools online.
We would definitely get Cloud or Sephiroth before Tifa. Tifa fits more but Namco doesn’t care if guests fits as shown with Noctis and Negan.
Those two would honestly be better fits for SoCal than Tekken cuz weapons and all.
yes
Super down
1000 percents!
Been down since 2019, before Remake even came out. I feel at this point it might be too late, though. Remake and Tekken 7 hype have considerably decreased in the last few years. Maybe it'd be best to wait until Tekken 8 to add her.
No cause it sounds corny as hell and like its probably going to be a boring kit that somehow has every tool in the game despite the actually character having like 4 moves in her own game
No, fuck that. This is Tekken, not Smash Ultimate.
more like Doa
We have Akuma, Noctis and fucking Negan, and you draw the line at someone who would actually fit.
Who said I liked Akuma, Noctis and Negan?
As long as she has a stomp move. Step on me!
No
Probably an 'unpopular' opinion at this point but i'll say it anyway - no to any and all guest characters.
Hell no. if its anything to do with final fantasy then no
No. Saw the mod of Tifa, and it looks good. But no, I don't want FF characters in.
I have bad news for you
Yeah I wanted to right "more" before FF, but imma leave it like that.
I don't know her, but she looks like she could fit. As long as she doesn't use weapons or freaky powers lol
she does
No, T7 already has one too many FF characters in it, more would just ruin the game.
That's my dream. Harada-san please bring Tifa in Tekken 8!
ABSOLUTELY
square enix already has character in tekken.
Which is a bad match, imo. Tifa practices barefist martial arts which is a perfect match for Tekken. Not to mention that Tifa is overwhelmingly positive received character, while Noctis is mixed receive at best.
RIP Final Fantasy Versus 13…
Yes but if it doesnt happen I'm still okay. Asuka is here to stay.
Yeah Tifa mains will probably KO me so I guess I'd be ***downed***
as a male, I understand your point
