Tifa Lockhart has been awarded "Best Character" at the Famitsu Dengeki Game Awards 2024, securing the top spot through fan voting. Nearly three decades after her debut in Final Fantasy VII, Tifa remains one of the most beloved characters in gaming.
In response to the recognition, Tetsuya Nomura shared his thoughts on the award:
"Thank you for voting for Tifa. It has already been about 30 years since I designed the original Tifa. Even after 30 years, her getting such support is a great honour as a designer. However, a character is not just about appearance; personality is also important. I believe Tifa’s good qualities are the combination of her character, expressions, voice, movements, combat abilities and all of her other charms. The entire team worked together to create her charm, and we are truly grateful for the recognition that it has received."
Tifa has been a central figure in Final Fantasy VII and its expanded universe, from Advent Children to the Final Fantasy VII Remake project. Her popularity has remained strong, with frequent appearances in official merchandise, collaborations, and fan discussions. This latest award further solidifies her status as a standout character in the Final Fantasy series and gaming history.
