Tifa. Tifa has to be my favourite videogame heroine of all time. She's an extremely caring and sensitive girl; though her headstrong exterior may suggest otherwise. She's been forced to grow up too fast in the FFVII world, though she's still got that innocent little girl inside of her. A little girl which believes in promises and heroes. 
I always felt that Tifa represents the realistic girl-- with realistic problems. She keeps her feelings 'locked away', and is really a product of the depressing company and atmosphere around her.
She really reminds me of someone who feels a deep loneliness sometimes. Although Tifa may have a sad look in her eye, because of what she's experienced, she's also very strong and knows how to persevere through sorrow and hardship. She has realized how important it is to highly value friends and loved ones, which keep her going. Tifa's character is one that's utilized to represent love, strength, devotion and loyalty in the FFVII world. Imo, she's just a beautiful character inside and out.
Then we have Cloud, who follows so very closely for me. Kuraudo would have to be my favorite videogame character of all time besides Tifa. He's one of those unique heroes that you can't help but love... with the spiky hair and the big sword. He's also quite the dumbass, with "Let's mosey" and all. He doesn't have the perfect man qualities that his friend Zack had, but that just makes him a more complex and damaged man. By no means does that make him "emo", it just makes him more real and not everyday do we get to see a hero as fucked up as him. Throughout the FFVII Compilation we are able to see Cloud's development and growth as a character, and his journey through his life. His story is an interesting one, full of twists and turns but in the end he manages to make it out alive because he realizes that he has friends beside him who love him and all that jazz.
