Tifa really doesn't go down there.
Let's start with the uncomfortable truths, Final Fantasy VII Remake it is pure fan service. We all know the original game, we loved it and we still love it even in squares. We wanted a 4K remake more than we like to admit, and the closer it gets, the happier we are. One thing, however, should never be forgotten: it is good not to create certain expectations, because the producer will also be in our heads but we are not the producer. This is where the controversial mechanic called fan service comes into play.
Of course it is not easy to conceive, and the reason is inherent in its very nature. Made on purpose to please the fans (not in that sense), it can annoy perhaps precisely because we would expect to be amazed, rather than satisfied always and in any case. In short, a "we don't like it because we like it too much". If Final Fantasy VII takes and throws away the purest incarnation of fan service, then, on the one hand, it is inevitable that someone will get angry. Come on, admit that Tifa in 4K we all wanted to see it a bit - but never as much Cloud dressed as a woman. They don't like it because they like it, they like it because they don't like it - all in all it doesn't change much, and if you don't understand what I'm talking about, you know I'm about to get to the point.
How is it possible that we really don't like this Tifa?

Loreketing: Lore eaten by marketing in Fortnite and Pokémon GOD From physical to voice, there are things to say about our favorite sexy big boob. We then go from a simple discontent to real death threats, motivated by nothing more than simple hatred towards the voice actress of a character (who then, who cares who speaks for him?). And not only Tifa: Game Freak for its part, it paid dearly for cutting a modest slice of Pokédex from the new duo of titles. The most loyal followers and some streamers have consequently launched a hashtag, the #ThankYouGamefreak, to thank the producer for the hard work on the franchise that has accompanied them from childhood until today.
Fan service is therefore one double-edged blade, because it gives fans something they appreciate knowing they appreciate it, but paradoxically with no guarantees that they will - in 2019 it works like this. The public, split between praise and criticism, has a dangerous weapon in their hands that risks depriving producers of all rights over their creatures. Underneath, but right underneath, we all got tired of the JRPG who open the introductory sequence by slamming two huge melons in our faces, and also of that transhumance of eight hundred Pokémon from one console to another. Only that too is hard to admit.
There is a way and a way to please the fans.

They lie covered under a somewhat cartoonish map without a semblance of lore, only to come to the surface in a single moment. What is created is a sort of theatrical piece, planned down to the smallest detail so that the curtain opens at the right moment. By hiding the props under everyone's noses, you know you have a time bomb in your hand that only you can detonate - and when it suits you best. However, this also creates expectations, which are more difficult to meet with the passage of time. From a new Final Fantasy VII we expect a lot, it is true, but we keep our feet firmly on the ground and everything will be more beautiful.
