Fans can expect to see a whole new side to Tifa Lockhart in the next Final Fantasy 7 Remake entry, as director Naoki Hamaguchi is hinting at big things for the popular character. A childhood friend of Cloud Strife and a fan-favorite since the original game was released in 1997, Tifa eventually grew up to join the anti-Shinra organization Avalanche, serving as a key member of the party in Final Fantasy 7 Remake as the team battles to save the planet from Sephiroth.
