Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth may not be available until February 29 but fans are already obsessing over Tifa's appearance in the game.
A clip of the remade Costa Del Sol section of Final Fantasy 7 has gone viral, with Tifa trending alongside Aerith. The clip shows the party at the beach, with Cloud seemingly taken aback by Tifa and Aerith's swimsuits.
The internet has already grown obsessed over it, with one post from X/Twitter user @Genki_JPN having clocked 1.6 million views by itself.

Tifa's popularity isn't anything new, of course, but the fact she's trending over Aerith upon the release of a game that already has fans fiercely debating the latter's fate is telling. Tifa was trending in January too, when fans called for her to be added to Tekken 8 so much that Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada had to address it.
"We all know she is attractive and I understand that," Harada said in a post on X/Twitter. "But as yet we have not decided anything about guest characters etc."
The Costa Del Sol section of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is just one of several cities players can explore. Unlike the first game, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the sequel takes place throughout a large portion of the world and also includes the likes of Gold Saucer and Junon. The latter can be explored in the recently updated demo too.

In our 9/10 review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, IGN said: "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long."
