Worthy Party Member: I'd sure say so!
Tifa is one of the main members of AVALANCHE, and the owner of the bar Seventh Heaven, which serves as their hideout. She was born in Nibelheim, and was a longtime friend of Cloud. Five years ago, her father was killed by Sephiroth in "the incident", and she was seriously injured. She was trained my the martial arts master Zangan, and has gained great speed and agility. Despite her cute appearance, she can destroy anything with her fists. She is bright and optimistic, and cheers up any party members who feel down. She is one of my favorite characters, as she has great attack power and magic skills, as well as some of the best limit breaks in the game! Don't waste her ability by leaving her out of action.

| Limit Break | Level | How To Get | What It Does |
| Beat Rush | 1 | Tifa begins the game with this limit break | Although weak itself, each subsequent limit break will just add to this seven-part combo, so every little bit helps! |
| Somersault | 1 | Tifa must use Beat Rush eight times to gain this limit break | Tifa does a somersault kick, hitting one enemy for slightly more damage than Beat Rush. |
| Water Kick | 2 | Tifa must kill 80 enemies to gain this limit break | Just a moderately powerful low kick |
| Meteodrive | 2 | Tifa must use Water Kick eight times to gain this limit break | Tifa grabs the enemy, then dives backwards, smashing him for a moderate amount of damage. |
| Dolphin Blow | 3 | Tifa must kill an additional 80 enemies to gain this limit break | A Dolphin-summoning uppercut!?! |
| Meteor Strike | 3 | Tifa must use Dolphin Blow eight times to gain this limit break | Tifa leaps up and tosses her enemy to the ground. Getting "Yeah" slots start to get tricky with this one... |
| Final Heaven | 4 | Tifa must use the item "Final Heaven" (see below) after mastering all six previous limit breaks | Tifa totally annihilates the enemy with a burst of energy and power. There's only one "Yeah" amongst the seven "Miss" slots in this one, so don't even try for it... It's not like anything will survive. |
Final Heaven
After Cloud has rejoined your party, head back to Nibelheim with Tifa in your party. Go to her house, and in her room there is a piano. Play the same tune that Cloud played in the memory sequence (Do Re Mi Ti La Do Re Mi So Fa Do Re Mi or X, Square, Triangle, R1+Triangle, R1+Square, X, Square, Triangle, R1+X, Circle, X, Square, Triangle), and an interesting event will happen, involving what happened to Tifa after that fire. You will then receive Final Heaven.
