Square Enix quietly released an update for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, with patch notes claiming to fix “several bugs.” However, it didn’t take long for players to realize that a small glimpse of an underage Tifa in the Nibelheim flashback scene has been “updated,” leading to some of them voicing their concerns over lost cleavage.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake update also makes a confusing script change
The flashback scene in question originally showed Tifa with a little bit of cleavage. Following the update, Square Enix added a black undershirt to cover her up. This brings FF7 Remake’s Tifa in line with her FF7 Rebirth appearance. The minor difference can be seen below:
Despite the fact that Tifa is meant to be, like, 15 years old in this scene, some folks are unhappy with the “censorship.” Steam community forums are littered with complaints, with some folks suggesting that they’ll use mods to undo the change!
Other than the above, Square Enix changed Aerith’s final voice line, for some bizarre reason. As noted on ResetEra, “I miss it. The steel sky” has been changed to “This sky…I don’t like it.” Fans are theorizing why that line has been changed but only Square Enix knows the reason behind it.
