Uh no, remake Tifa is just as big, she's wearing a sports bra under her tank top so her muns are consolidated more then normal.
Also, original was from the era before graphics could render circles, and working with triangles and minimum object sizes made their choices "flat" and "giant angular things that could be used as the model for the torso of a small child". Compare her to her artwork rather than the polygon monstrosity, and she's about the same size as always.
Her bust was already stylistically reduced in other games, so this arguement is already late.
I doubt they're going to make her smaller, but the aim of this game's art is definitely towards realistic, 7.5-8.5 head tall models and away from the sporty, exaggerated art and 4-5 head tall models that were in the original game.
Her breasts would have to be smaller for those proprtions to work, or else she's going to look like she has I cups.
They're big enough, honestly. Also, seriously, some people prefer more slender women. Making the breast sizes more realistic (As in, not toward the extreme end of the bell curve) does not mean they will lose sex appeal.
Women in real life have huge tits, so why not in this game. I get that over the years they repressed them, but that doesn't mean they can be big or over-exaggerated. If games and anime keep toning down like this then eventually we'll hit zero sexual appeal.
As people said, because she never had said huge tits in even her oldest concept arts. It was simply that era's way of communicating "busty" with the graphics limitation.
Like Lara Croft, would you want her to have giant triangles for boobs just to "keep it the way it was"?
And fanartists will give any characters with gigantic tits even if their official design is flat as a board, just check the new Gym leader girl who had just been released. The issue is that you(and everyone who complained) just got way too used to Tifa having I cup boobs.
Am I saying real women with I cup doesn't exist? No. Am I saying this less bustier Tifa can't be sexy? No. Am I saying fanartists aren't allowed to increase characters' boobs up as much as they want? No. I'm just saying you're objectively wrong if you say the new Tifa is straying away from what her original design was.
Of all the things to discuss about the remake i never thought Tifa's boobs would be the most heated one. People take breasts very seriously or what? I thought her size is pretty closer to her advent children's one.
Realistically pleasing? How about Barret? He's 6'5. Less than 1% of all men on the planet get that big. There are women with boobs as big as Tifa's out there, and it's not because they're simply fat. Why can't Tifa just be that exceptional, as characters in a story are often meant to be?
I'd imagine its the difference between Barret being a wonder of the universe ala Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barret looking like Fighter. Dragon's Crown is an example, however, of using extremes in proportion as part of it's style and a lot of work went into consistency. If you are going for a more 'realistic' game, uncanny valley is going to be the biggest limitation here. I mean we're still not a point where long hair can be given physics without freaking out, the idea of being able to support classic-era boobage isn't going to go well unless you go ala them being static.
Even games like Honey Select seem to have issues with physics in relatively down-to-earth animations, I can't imagine a game like FF trying it and not having it turn comical.
