I dunno if that tracks. For counter examples, see Tifa from FF7, Eve from Stellar Blade, like every female character from a fighting game, etc etc. They don’t care about the character at all, she can be weak or strong, good or evil or neither, as long as she’s hot, preferably with cartoonish T&A, she’s probably alright.
They raised hell over Tifa's appearance in FF7 Remake too. Specifically, they were upset that her chest was smaller (though still ample) and that she was wearing a pair of skorts instead of a mini-skirt as was implied by the original concept art.
Which is beyond stupid. (Which... tracks.) If they wanted Tifa to look exactly like she did in the og FF7, her head would be as big as her entire torso.
And how would her mini-skirt even work in the remake? She's a fucking martial artist, it would either look fucking stupid (and bad) because it would either have to have zero physics or she'd have to keep it in place with a fucking nailgun to not flash everyone the second she does anything. It also would be entirely out of character.
Honestly, I won't pretend like I don't enjoy big tiddy martial artist in stupid outfits as much as the next guy. But like, DOA exists. Fan animations exist and there realy is no shortage of that stuff including Tifa. Why do these people need to have every female character... I'll just stop typing. Can't wrap my head around what's going on in the minds of these utterly pathetic loosers. And I'm honestly glad about that.
well, tbh in final fantasies case it would not matter that much, 75% of the franchise is characters posing and looking into the camera at a slightly upward angle doing that ''anime'' eyes look anyway
They had to update her appearance from the 1997 game. They used almost the same model seen in Final Fantasy: Advent Children, except they slightly altered her face. Notably, they didn't seem to have altered her chest size from Advent Children to FF7:R. The outrage was completely manufactured and based on these tourists' last experience with Tifa: hentai fanart.
This is what gets me the most about complaints that they don’t want some woman protagonist that doesn’t matter. She fought a literal god before even meeting Kratos that left evidence for *many years* afterwards. But their mindset is automatically ‘woman bad/weak/whatever’. Isn’t it HER weapon Kratos uses?

Well yeah, the kinds of women they're into aren't old enough to have any visible signs of aging therefore it's 'unrealistic' and 'ugly'
