Now that the fighting is over, onto the beauty part of the competition.

First up Aeris.

Aeris (close up)

Tifa

Tifa (Full body)

They trade clothes.

I dunno. I prefer Tifa over Aeris even in looks. :-T

Yeah so do I.

Tifa is Teh Hotness.

Yes. Yes she is. And whoever doesn't prefer her over Aeris needs to have their ass kicked.

Aeris is fuckin hawt in tifa's outfit. And in her own.

Aeris wins.

You're currently outnumbered. So hush. Tifa wins. End of story.

In Tifa's outfit, yeah but in her own, she's not.

She wasn't supposed to look hot in it, it's just her God-forsaken fashion sense. Would you believe her to be this cool magic-casting soft-hearted white mage if she's wearing a tube dress? Fashion almost always contribute to the overall impact of the character design that would make us either hate them or love them for it. And hell yeah, we have our own set of stereotypes.

OK, for those who still choose Tifa over Aerith, here's a rundown...in all Square titles I've come across so far:

Tifa =
Appeared in FF 7
Appeared in Ergheiz

Aerith=
Appeared in FF 7
Appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics
Appeared in Kingdom Hearts

You may have your own opinions, but in my opinion, the game developers at Square-Enix just love her character as to make her incarnate in these 2 un-FF7-esque titles. Tifa incarnated as Rinoa in FF8, and Garnet in FF9 (just check out the damn HAIR~~~!!!), but they totally reworked her over and these 2 Tifa clones only retained her hairstyle and not much else in the costume or personality department. Just using the same character over and over again makes you think that there is something about Aerith or any character out there that has stood the test of time and the gamers would still love (or in this case hate) her or him for it.

As for Cloud =
Appeared in FF 7
Appeared in Ergheiz
Appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics
Appeared in Kingdom Hearts

Sephiroth =
Appeared in FF 7
Appeared in Ergheiz
Appeared in Kingdom Hearts

And Yuffie =
Appeared in FF 7
Appeared in Ergheiz (secret character, along with Vincent)
Appeared in Kingdom Hearts

But this is a Tifa VS Aerith thread, so these characters are another story. But they basically reflect the same things that Aerith has that made them incarnate as themselves in the original FF 7 or an offshoot of what they were in these succeeding games.

Tifa wins!

Tifa loses.

Tifa wins! So there!

And I really can't STAND Rinoa and Garnet! They're so annoying...

HEY! I liked them both! Don't mess with my bitches!

Tifa is just better in all ways. She's hotter, tougher, doesn't die and she is actually Cloud's friend. They should get married and have kids. Aeris is like....a one-nighter girl.

I think Aeris would have liked to have been a one night stand for both Cloud and Tifa.

The Tifa and Aeris one-nighter I would like:sex:

I HATE RINOA~~~!!! But I like Garnet. She's intelligent, focused, and contrary to what other people think, not a spoiled brat. She wants the commoners to see her as Garnet and not as the Princess of Alexandria. Her
Eidolon Trance is one of the most useful Trances in the game, along with all of Zidane's Dyne skills and Amarant's Chakra. I just hate how some of her rod weapons look like, though; they look like mutated lollipops....O_____O;;

Tifa would only win if this is going to be a catfight. But in other aspects, I dunno. Tifa is a frigging fighting chick and Aerith is NOT. Tifa is stronger physically but Aerith is NOT. Tifa is Cloud's childhood friend and Aerith is NOT. Tifa manages a bar and Aerith does NOT. Tifa could cook and Aerith....well...they didn't say anything about her kitchen abilities.

BUT...!!!

Aerith summoned Holy and Tifa CANNOT. Aerith could cast all those cool magic spells and summons with twice as much damage and Tifa CANNOT. Aerith looks nice in her outfit and Tifa's and Tifa does NOT (look hot in Aerith's outfit). Let's see Tifa try using all her Limit Breaks once Aerith casts Knights of the Round. Take that you @#^%*#(#& B****~~~!!!

And yes, Cloud can't wait for the day he'll finally see Aerith again. Now how can Tifa hold a candle to Aerith with THAT~~~?!
