Please delete this if this topic has been brought up.

Any one notice that the inside cover depicts Aerith and Sephiroth?

Why would they do that if Tifa was the main heroine or Cloud's love? Don't they only put in the most important hero/heroines/villains on the box art?
I don't see Tifa anywhere on the box or the disk container thing.
Wouldn't it make more sense to put the main characters/love interests on there?

Why am I asking so many questions?

Hikaru, I think the pictures you used are hotlinked, so they're not showing... so I'm not sure which box art you are talking about? FF7? Advent Children?

Also I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but I just can't seem to find the old thread. :lol: If anyone can find it, please let me know so I can merge it!

But to answer your question hikaru, Aerith is indeed the main heroine of FF7 - her character was created way before Tifa's was. She, Cloud and Barret were supposed to be the original main characters, hence the original FF7 pictures only have their faces on it. So it would make sense for her to be on the inside disk - especially as so much of Cloud and Sephiroth's conflict revolves around her.

Yin-chan's right - your links aren't working, hikaru. Are you talking about the FFVII International Game Disks made for Advent Pieces Limited? :unsure:

Disks 1, 2, and 3 have pictures of Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth:

Disks 1, 2, and 3 of FFVII International

The other members of Avalanche, including Tifa, are shown on Disk 4:

Disk 4 of FFVII International

This was talked about in another thread, but I can't find it right now.

Oh, crap. Oops. I'll give you guys the link to the page that shows it.
I'm talking about the PSone disk set thing.

I looked everywhere on the disk box and set. No sign of anything Tifa related.

Whoa... that's a great find, hikaru! ^_^ You're right... there's nothing Tifa related on any of the packaging shown for Playstation or for Windows! Yet, Cloud and Aerith appear on all of them! ^_^

The only characters shown besides Cloud and Aerith are Sephiroth, Nanaki, and a few Shinra soldiers. :lol:

That trend of love/interests being shown on dics that FFVII International started can be shown here:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/final-fantas...eCoverId,15925/ (Squall on Disc 1)

http://www.mobygames.com/game/final-fantas...eCoverId,15926/ (Rinoa on Disc 2)

http://www.mobygames.com/game/final-fantas...eCoverId,15927/ (Seifer on Disc 3)

http://www.mobygames.com/game/final-fantas...eCoverId,15928/ (Laguna on Disc 4)

Aerith, don't forget about FF9. It has the same pattern:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/...eCoverId,30586/ (Dagger on Disc 2)

http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/...eCoverId,30587/ (Steiner on Disc 3)
