The gaming community often shows their love for a game or series by decorating their spaces with artwork or collectibles, like statues or figurines. The only problem is they can get a bit pricey and the quality and detail can vary drastically. If the equipment is available, a smart solution might be to make one instead. That's what a certain Final Fantasy 7 fan did, creating their own Tifa statue using a 3D printer.
Reddit user Wallcrawler62 not only printed a custom 1/6 of Tifa but painted it as well with an impressive amount of detail. Shortly after completing the work, they posted it to social media and the feedback was very positive. Now, they have a fantastic-looking statue of the brawling beauty and it certainly cost a lot less than it would from a store.
The love for this particular entry in the Final Fantasy series has reached a high point recently after the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which was not only very successful but allowed even longtime fans to experience the game in a whole new way. Since then, plenty of people have shown off their tributes to the game's characters, with everything from artwork to cosplay. Final Fantasy 7 fans love to cosplay and they have been doing it for two decades.
The remake added new scenes and fresh spins on characters and cosplayers have taken inspiration from them. On fan reenacted a scene during the Wall Market portion of the game, cosplaying as Aerith with a folding chair. This humorous scene is where Tifa and Aerith drop the act at Don Corneo's estate and proceed to take out a few of his goons. While Tifa can handle herself just fine, Aerith had to get creative.
With a sequel in the works, there will be even more changes to the game to inspire fans. What those changes will be are still a mystery, as Square Enix has taken a lot of liberties with the story. A lot was different in this new version of the classic tale, and with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, it was clear the company would continue switching things up in a good way. It added an additional story that featured Yuffie, a character who used to be optional for players. Now it seems she'll be integral to the story, and thankfully, the sequel will likely keep the Yuffie DLC combat features.
What's more, it also tacked on an extended ending to Final Fantasy 7 Remake that showed a bonus scene featuring Zack and another of Yuffie leaving Midgar to eventually join Cloud's crew. There was a peek at what they were up to as well. Barret, Red XIII, Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa are making their way down a desert road, just starting their long journey. It's hard to tell where this new story will take them, but it will surely inspire even more artwork like the impressive Tifa statue.
