As much as it never surprises any of us here that fans get upset over the weirdest things, it always disappoints us. Mainly because we foolishly expect more from them. Case in point are fans absolutely livid over the censorship of 15 year old Tifa.
Final Fantasy VIIRebirthis an exceptional game – our very own Dan Lipscombe described it as a“triumphant evolution”– yet some fans have found ways to be annoyed. At first it was because of accessibility features that highlighted in yellow where players should go; a feature plenty of games now have.

Now it’s over the censorship of aFinal Fantasycharacter who is 15 years old during the scene in question. I really want to emphasise that before fans message me to explain that Tifa is 20 inFFVII RemakeandRebirth.

During a flashback sequence, Fifa’s outfit inFFVII Remakehas been updated to match what she’s wearing inRebirth; she now wears a sports bra crop top rather than something much more revealing. And for some reason – let’s be honest, it’s for very gross reasons – fans are upset.
Apparently, having already seen Tifa in a swimsuit that sent the internet into overdrive isn’t enough. We get it, Tifa is an attractive character, but there’s a time and a place to moan about outfits, and moaning about a 15 year old’s attire really isn’t it.

Let’s allow Tifa to be herself, in her sports bra, and enjoy the game for the right reasons: it’s bloody incredible. For those wanting to play,FFVII Rebirthwill launch on 29 Feb and will be available on PlayStation 5 only.
