Tifa is clearly a Hispanic/White mix

Seeing how she has an interest in martial arts and her mother died when she was pretty young it could very well be that her mother was Wutaian. So that would make her a hafu.

There is an asian area called Wutai, which is where asian people come from. Yuffie is from Wutai, she is asian. Tifa is from Nibelheim, like Cloud. Cloud is white. Tifa is white.

I get that but my question is why? Japanese medium so maybe they want to make them look Asian.

Tifa is attractive regardless if she be white or Asian so im still stuck where the problem is.
>>
>>381275961
She was a Wutaian spy. You know like those North Korean chicks.
I'd also wager she wasn'r from Nibelheim just because the town is fucking small (or at leats looked that way) and I'd rather not go down the idea that half the town is related to one another.

I wonder if they will make it bigger in the Remake.
>>
>>381272169
Tifa is a Japanese, dude
>>
>>381276113
I don't mind if she is based on white or asian people, but racists can't accept the possibility that their waifu and the main character are non-whites.
>>
>>381276201
Your pulling stuff out of your ass. Going by purely what we know for sure, she was born in Nibelheim. There are no Wutai there that we know of. When you meet Yuffie for the first time, the characters very obviously notice that she is Asian, or from Wutai. Going on the fact that it's a big enough deal to be strange to them to see an Asian outside of Wutai and that Yuffie doesn't say anything to Tifa about being from Wutai (which she would if it's that weird for Asians to be in Migard), we can safely conclude that Tifa is white, or if she is mixed, it's not an Asian mix.

>>
>>381276524
Well thats dumb. On one hand I can see say the forced racial representatiin in modern games but for me thats more eye rolling due to obvious pandering.

But Tifa whos race was already ambnigious just seems weird. Though I did love her AC version.
>>
>>381276858
Nomura designed her in the mid 90 though. That being said it's a hairstyle that's rather timeless because it doesn't have the typical "flair" of a certain period.
Interesting that Reina and Tifa weird similar earring thoughs.
>>
>>381277076
To be fair a blonde dude, with blue eyes (albeit enhanced due to Mako) named Cloud Strife doesn't exactly make someone think of anything else but a white dude.
Same goes for Tifa I guess, though it really makes me wonder if all people in Nibelheim had Awesome McCoolnames.

Cloud traditionally of course doesnt look remotely Asian. I get your logic. But in most Jrpg nearly everyone has an AwesomeMcCoolname.

But for Tifa, well sure at the start due to shoddy visuals, most western people assumed she was white. Also because she wasnt in the ninja village.

But id guess a fair few japanese on their side assumed she was Asian. For me I thought when I saw AC "Oh, Tifa looks really Asian....cool!".

But some here seem so adamant that

>NO SHE IS WHITE!!! WHITE!!!

This looks infinitely more shit than the original. Usually I don't care, but distorting the original artist's work, who obviously put in a lot time for the lettering and stuff, pisses me off. The actress in the poster is already a titty monster anyway and her boobs don't spill out like that.

They literally cannot fullstop. Every one that claims this is being an idiot.
The japanese continually deliberately make their characters to look european. Objectively its not subjective. The no.1 reason is the god damn fucking eyes that every virgin web ignores. Asian eyes have epicanthic folds that change the shape of a large portion of the face.

In games with a western setting, sure. But characters from Japan often look Japanese (at least when they're going for a semi-realistic style like Nioh or Yakuza).

Funny thing is I never thought of her as one back then before the movie. I always assumed she was suppose to be white just like Cloud, Cid and Vincent also were. Aries is also white. The only asian was Yuffie or so I thought.

It is a gook series though so they will want the characters to at least sort of look like them.
