After Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Elena was accused of being a 'Tifa clone,' she's finally beaten the allegations in its mobile game
Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis has given Elena a bit of a makeover, letting her beat the allegations of being a 'Tifa clone' in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Back in June 2023, a new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer introduced Elena for the first time, rounding out the group of Turks. The trouble is, viewers were very quick to compare her to Tifa's character model, and ultimately judged that she might just be Tifa in a blonde wig. The similarities in the face are admittedly striking.
Now, Final Fantasy 7's Ever Crisis mobile game has introduced Elena, and she doesn't look anything like a Tifa clone, as the fan below attests to. Elena's character model for the mobile game looks a far cry from Rebirth, stylized in a far different manner that lets her stand far apart from her heroic counterpart.
At least she doesn't really look like Tifa here lol pic.twitter.com/6AFuC0muL6January 12, 2024
Another tweet attests to Elena's new design in Ever Crisis. The Turk soldier is the latest character to join Square Enix's mobile game after Yuffie recently arrived in the compilation game, bringing her own adventures to bear in several new story chapters.
Elena no longer looks like a tifa clone thank god
