And Tifa from FFVII showed up. In fact, back when we were working on KH:FM, some of the staff members wanted to have Tifa show up. They said “Battling with Tifa would be fun, in a melee sense” and originally wanted to add both Sephiroth and Tifa (into KH:FM) but due to tight schedules, we could only go with one character so we inserted Sephiroth into KH:FM. Because of that, we decided to let Tifa show up in this game. When we were recording the voices for KHII, coincidentally they were also doing the recording for FFVII:AC so somehow we end up doing “Today we record FFVII:AC, tomorrow KHII”… (laugh) The voices were recorded in the same flow so I’m glad about that.
Speaking of Tifa, there’s an event where she talked to Cloud after beating Sephiroth. In Nojima-san’s scenario, it explained Cloud and Tifa’s connection more in-depth but I deleted it away. I thought it would be more interesting to let the gamers think about it. For example, “If Cloud’s darkness is Sephiroth, then Tifa is light”; in that sense you can take it that Tifa isn’t really human. The reason Tifa doesn’t talk to anyone else besides Sora and co. may be because she doesn’t exist as a human. Of course, I also presented her in a way that she could also be a resident of Hollow Bastion, so I think you can freely think for yourself about her.

Nomura: The most impressive scene I have is Tifa’s entering Cloud’s spiritual word, figuring out the truth of the past.
Nojima: The event there is made by Kato-san(the planer of FF7’s event), and the movie is made by Iishu-shan(the designer of FF7’s movie). Originally, Iishu-san was in charge of designing the graphics of map; this movie is his first challenge. “This is my first time to make a movie.”, he said.
Nomura: In “DC” and “CC, he is also the movie director.
Kitase: The event of Highwind, before the decisive battle, is also made by Kato-san.
Nojima: Yeah, is that the scene with delicate dialogue? It’s written by Kato-san, not me.

Now running a delivery business while helping out Tifa with the newly opened "Seventh Heaven" bar, Cloud, Tifa, Marlene and Denzel lived together like a family. However, when Cloud contracts Geostigma he disappears. Behind these actions lies feelings of guilt towards his past failure to protect people who were important to him, but through his battle with Kadaj's gang, the legacy of Jenova, he regains the courage to face reality.

A Promise to Tifa, Etched in his Memory
When Cloud left the village dreaming of being a SOLDIER, he swore to Tifa that he would come running to her rescue if she was in trouble. While it was Tifa who strong-armed him into making the promise, it seems that the idea that he must keep this vow was forever in Cloud's mind. In BC he is obsessive about protecting people, and if he runs out of strength part way though he will mention the "promise".

Apart from being Cloud's childhood friend, she is also the woman who understands him all too well and devotedly supports the mentally-weak side of him. Although she seems spirited and cheerful, she actually has a family-oriented and modest personality, often paying attention to her surroundings.

Quote: text near images of Tifa in the church with Marlene and smiling at her I want to see Cloud -- Marlene's honest words, which reflected what Tifa felt in her own heart, caused her to smile.

COMPILATION CHECK
A close friend as well as rival ? The complicated emotions she feels towards Aerith
「Both of them share feelings for Cloud」Tifa was close to Aerith, who can also be called a love rival. With that point in mind, they were also good friends. Nevertheless, it is not hard to imagine that she carries complex feelings as a woman toward Aerith, who had built up a special bond with Cloud that was different from Tifa's. Tifa's complicated feelings continue even in 「AC」, 2 years after Aerith had departed the world. This was due to the fact that Cloud, succumbing to the notion that Aerith's death was his fault and condemning himself, construed that Denzel was 「The child which Aerith brought here」 and took care care of him. In addition, Cloud had also gone away to the church that Aerith had been in. The thing which she is unable to hide her irritation towards Cloud is the fact that he isn't merely dragging the past around, but because that reason might perhaps be related to Aerith.

She seems to be in a state of worry about Cloud, but is able to hear from bits and pieces of her conversation with the Turk.
「Do you know a boy named Cloud?」
Quote: text near in game image of Tifa speaking to the turk on the dolly car saying "He left the village 2 years ago to become a SOLDIER" Seemingly worried about Cloud after he had left the village, she asked the Turk who had saved her whether he knew about him. Quote: text near image of Tifa standing in a burning Nibelheim screaming "Unforgivable!" Tifa, whose precious village has been burnt, erupts in rage. However, it doesn't look like she'll be able to oppose Sephiroth . . . . . . Quote: text near in game image of the Promise by the Well scene in BC The familiar reminiscence scene from 「FFVII」- She made a promise with Cloud, who had called her to the well, that he would 「Protect her when she was in a pinch」. 「When you become a SOLDIER and I'm ever in a bind . . . . . . Cloud, come and save me, all right ?]

As to her realising that 「Cloud had rushed over when Tifa was in a pinch」- Note that the explanation that「Both of them regained the lost memories of that time when they were inside「FFVII」's Lifestream」becomes a feasible point.

Holding the hope of a reunion in her heart The young lady who waited for the SOLDIERs
「I am the best guide in this village if you're speaking of that」
She was placed as the 'village girl who met the protagonist Zack at Nibelheim where he had been assigned to'. When she heard that there would be SOLDIERs coming to the village, she looked forward to being reunited with a Cloud who had became excellent/praiseworthy. However, she was unable to meet with him and though disappointed deep down, she lead the SOLDIERs towards the Nibel Reactor. Alongside the figure from Cloud's recollection scene in「FFVII」, Tifa's situation prior to Mt. Nibel and the Reactor is revealed.

Quote: Text near the image of Zack and Tifa together Believing in Cloud’s promise, Tifa’s waiting to see Cloud become a SOLDIER like Sephiroth. Tifa dresses herself in a pretty and sexy look. Does she do that to spirit up herself in preparing for a touching reunion?

The only woman who knows Cloud’s past
In FF7, Tifa is the only one who knows Cloud’s childhood, and furthermore, she holds the key to people involved in the story of Nibelheim’s burning down, which is also depicted in CC. She and Cloud came to realize their feelings for each other in the end of the story, and live together in AC and DC. - Quote:

Cloud and Tifa
Cloud and Tifa are childhood friends, both born in Nibelheim. When Cloud leaves the village, he calls Tifa out to the water tower and promises that he will become a SOLDIER. At the same time, he is also made by Tifa to promise that he will come to rescue her if she is ever in trouble.
Following this, the pair experience many hardships, such as the Nibelheim incident which also appears in CC, and the Jenova War in FFVII, and through these the distance between them shortens. And in AC they live together, with Barret's daughter Marlene and a boy named Denzel. Though there was also a period later where Cloud lived away from them after having contracted Geostigma, they finally reach a commune with each over and return to living together once again. In DC, they rush together to Vincent's aid, in his battle against Deep Ground SOLDIER.

Water Tower
The water tower erected in the center of Nibelheim. The large wooden cask catches rain water, and filters it to supply the townspeople with water to use in their daily lives. In the game, it is counted as one of the 7 Wonders of Nibelheim, as a place where the water runs red, due to the color of a red summon materia that was in the tower seeping into the water.
Also, the tower at night appears to be a date spot for the town's young residents, and Cloud had also called Tifa out here and talked to her before leaving Nibelheim for Midgar.

The promise with a childhood friend
Before leaving Nibelheim, Cloud declared that “I’ll be a SOLDIER” to a village girl, Tifa, whom he dimly fell in love with, and made a promise to protect her. Such pompous declare turns out to be failed—considering this, Cloud conceals his identity and cold sweat under his helmet when he confronts his hometown.

Link to FF7 series: The lead who acts “the hero like Zack”
Obviously, Cloud is the lead of FF7. In the beginning of FF7, he looks like a cool hero, but actually he’s simply unsociable and was dragged by the inferiority that “he could never be like Sephyroth.” His personality was formed not only by the intention of concealing such self, but also by the implanted Jenova cell which twisted what Zack went through as the base. In CC, Cloud’s weak side unfolds before us: it makes us realize the influence from Zack that affects Cloud.
Text near the img: In the beginning of FF7, Cloud announces Zack’s title. As for Cloud’s regular motion also looks like Zack’s manner, Aerith is also surprised.

On Disc 3, Tifa hardens her resolve as they head toward the final battle, but she is unable to suppress her fear. On the bridge of the airship, she says to Cloud, “Would you tell me ‘It’s all right’?” Although Tifa is forlorn and somewhat childish here, when Cloud tells Tifa “It’s all right,” it is heartwarming.

I don't think I saw these either and they're good stuff. Endgame type ammo. “Before leaving for Midgar, Cloud declared ‘I’m going to become a SOLDIER’ to Tifa, a village girl he had started falling in love with, and also promised to protect her.”

“Words aren’t the only thing that tell people what you’re thinking…” Prarie: The last night before the final battle, to Cloud when he finds himself at a loss for words For many years, Cloud and Tifa have been holding favor for one another. Facing the impending final battle with Sephiroth, they at last confirm together their feelings of desire for one another. This one is from the 25th Memorial Ultimania
Case of Tifa - Quote:

Meanwhile, Cloud was sitting next to her gazing at the same scenery, but he was smiling peacefully. It was a smile that she hadn't seen before during their journey. Cloud noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Cloud, you're smiling."
"I am?"
"Yeah."
"Everything starts now. A new..." Cloud looked for the right words, "A new life."
"I'm going to live. I think that's the only way I can be forgiven. We've been through... all sorts of things."
"I guess you're right..."
"But when I think about how many times I've thought about starting a new life, it's funny."
"Why?"
"I've always failed to do it."
"That's not funny."
"...I think it will be all right this time."
Cloud became very quiet for a moment. Then he said, "Because you're with me."
"But I've always been with you."
"What I mean is a little different," Cloud replied smiling again.

Tifa went to see Aerith together with her companions. Aerith, who was now at the bottom of the Forgotten City's spring. The world she wanted to save in exchange for her life would surely be all right now. That's what they were told. Tifa heard a voice asking if she was all right. She didn't know if it was Aerith's voice or her own. She couldn't help it but started crying. Right after Sephiroth took Aerith's life, Tifa felt no grief towards her death. There was sadness but that sadness was made into more anger and hatred she had towards the enemy. At least now she understood the sadness and pain she felt, tearing her heart apart as she visited the place. Being a member of AVALANCHE and being with a large group of people gave her these feelings. The tears wouldn't stop.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
She felt Cloud's hand on her shoulder. He held onto her firmly so that she wouldn't go anywhere. For now, she was just going to let herself cry as much as she felt like. Then she was going to leave the rest to him.
Alone, she just didn't know what she could do.
"I shouldn't have come, " said Cloud. "It draws me back to the past."
Cloud's words spoke out for the way Tifa felt too.

"Where to?" Barret asked.
"Our suspended reality."
"What the hell do you mean by that?"
"Our normal lives."
"And where do we have something like that?"
"We'll find one." Cloud looked at Tifa and said, "Right?"
"Yeah!" cried the cheerful Marlene. Tifa too nodded, but just like Barret, she wondered where they had a normal life.
- Quote:
-
When Tifa and Cloud were alone, Cloud said to her, "It's not like you to be troubled by your thoughts."
"It's... Just the way I am."
"No. You're much more cheerful and strong. If you've forgotten the way you were then, I'll be there to remind you."
"You really will?"
"Probably," Cloud said, blushing.

Tifa and Cloud sipped their wine slowly. Barret was drinking so much that you could probably bathe in the amount he drank. He looked like he was enjoying it as he talked about his memories of the peaceful times. Drunk, he fell into a well. It's been a long time since Tifa and Cloud burst out laughing.
- Quote:

It was funny when she thought about how Cloud's new life was going to start by remembering the names of vegetables. No, I mustn't laugh, Tifa thought to herself.
- Quote:
-
"Aerith didn't bring Denzel to you."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
"Aerith brought that child to us, didn't she?"
Cloud gazed at Tifa and finally smiled. It had that kindness that made her think everything was all right.
