Wow. There has been a lot of debating here and I would like to sort things out so that all things can be made clear here. You should all know that I am Clifa.
I agree with you on the fact that her damage was erratic. However, I think the creators did this on purpose because of her limitbreaks. Because you use all of her 7 limit breaks in one go, all of her lower damage adds up. So in fact, you get just as much damage as you do with the others. So when you multiply 2,000 to 3,000 7 times, you get a good amount of damage.
As for missing, that's just reaction time. It's different with everyone and even I miss once in a while even though she's my favorite char. I really would like to ask them why they put those slots things in there in the first place....
I agree, you can't really aim her attacks, but then I believe her limit breaks are built more for boss battles, where you generally fight one monster.
Surprisingly, she is meant to NOT be a sexist-styled character. Tifa is actually quite interesting because she is a strong character. Physically and emotionally. (I'm not that saying she's stronger than Aerith.) She isn't one of those stupid weakling female chars that can't take one hit or immediately go crying to the male lead when faced with danger. She is a strong combatant, stronger than any of the previous female FF chars, and can hold her own in battle.
I can see exactly where you're coming from and I can see exactly why you would think she's entirely dependant on Cloud. I blame the creators for this. They were trying, for one, to show her affection for Cloud; however, they REALLY over did it and this sends a mixed message, such as seeming to be dependant on Cloud. Another thing was they were trying to make it seem, by her overt concern for Cloud, was that something was wrong with Cloud; there was something about him you don't know about. Thing is, she doesn't exactly know what's wrong with him either, so she constantly keeps and eye on him.
However, I think you're misinterpreting her actions at the next bit. she is really in love with Cloud. Wouldn't you be concerned about them? The answer is yes. Indeed, it does seem a little cold of her to not ask if the others are okay, but... consider the situation. She just escaped from a poison gas chamber, nearly fell thousands of feet to her death and was pinned by Shinra soldiers. Whereas, the others are safely ensconced in an airship and rescued her. Except for Yuffie (who's airsick) everyone is okay. Except, of course, the one person she loves.
Also, I wish to meet these people that call her 'sassy' and smack them upside their empty little skull with a trout. Tifa, of all things, is not 'sassy'. -___________________-
However, for confidence, I would have to be utterly nuetral. To me, she is neither confident or over confident for that matter. She is your averaged joe in this aspect. Scared, I don't agree with. She isn't scared to do anything without Cloud--she has her own bar and a life for goodness sake, and all that was done without Cloud. She housed a 'terrorist group' in her basement. That's not scared. But I can see where you get this from. Her constant concern for Cloud seems like she's constantly checking to make sure he is there before she does anything. Again, this is simply the creators mistake for they tried to make one thing so apparent that they inadvertantly made it seem like something else. Self-doubt--now this one really threw me. I don't know where you get this exactly, but keep in mind all your words are synonyms of each other. So....same explaination as for the other two. Mixed signals because of the creators being idiots.
Now, she didn't lie to him. Remember, she had no idea what was wrong with him from the beginning. And she didn't voice her concerns because she was afraid (correctly) of what would happen with Cloud. She had no idea what would happen and, in the midst of fighting to save the planet, wasn't going to try in case it turned out bad.
She didn't tell Cloud they weren't childhood friends because she didn't know that herself. The reason why goes all the way back to when she was a child. When she fell off the cliff after her mother died, she went into a coma. This coma did affect her memory somewhat, but she did know that Cloud tried to save her. Beyond that was a bit blurry, however. (Yes this is speculation but the only logical explaination) Years later, when she was an adult, she figured that she and Cloud had always been friends when they were children. This is namely because she had a growing affection for him ever since he saved her and she assumed they were friends; this was possible because the coma had damaged her memory somewhat. So, it wasn't a lie, but an illusion, much like how Cloud though he was a SOLDIER.
She didn't ignore Cloud as a child. Remember, these are children. Cloud was always a loner. He was unsure if the other kids would accept him into their group. So basically, he was never there to be ignored. He actually kept his distance, away from her. Pretty hard to pointedly ignore someone when they won't get close to you. When Cloud tried to save her from falling over the cliff, she remembered that and she quickly grew feelings for him. He had pretty much never been present in her life before that. But being so heroically 'saved' (lol, children *rolls eyes*) made her like him. So she made this promise because she wanted to be saved by Cloud, and only Cloud. That was the whole point of the 'promise'.
I agree with you completley. I hated her outfit in the game!
But they fixed it in AC, thank goodness. Skirts are NOT the clothes to wear to battle, despite everything the Irish do. And for a martial artist, huge breasts like that were simply stupid on Nomura's part. It would hinder her much more.
Excuse me, but you are way out of line. You strike me as a some kind of pervert, addressing only her clothes and nothing else. Also, you're one to be talking about ranting like a child. Look at you; you've said nothing to convince me that you are nothing more than an immature brat who doesn't understand anything being said on this forum. Get off this forum and do something meant for your age, like coloring books or Teletubbies. But seriously, if you cannot add a single intelligant reply to this thread, or anywhere else on this forum, then you obviously shouldn't be here. I'll ask one of the mods to lead to by your wittle hand to the door.
