Is Tifa's Anger Good or Bad in FF7 Rebirth?

Tifa finally explains why her dad chased Sephiroth in FF7 Rebirth, and the three of us cannot agree on whether he was a protective father or a reckless one. We dig into Tifa’s motivations in Nibelheim, the mixed message the game sends about anger and revenge, whether Avalanche counts as eco-terrorists, and which dialogue choice actually earns Tifa’s best response. 🎮🎙️ Welcome to the Final Fantasy Files! We’re Jolie Hales, Spencer Price, and Ernest de Leon -- three FF-appreciating normies who are happy you’re hanging out with us as we dive deep into the @FinalFantasy series, bringing the honest perspectives of a filmmaker, animator, and a Star Trek nerd.
