Developed by Kojima Productions under the direction of Hideo Kojima, the sequel continues to generate strong interest worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what were these two series making headlines for back in the summer of 2021? In this week\u2019s throwback, we take a look at two stories that went viral on X during that time, back when the platform was still known as Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260220-588770001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260220-588770001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260220-588770001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260220-588770001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-short-haired-tifa-phenomenon\"><strong>The short-haired Tifa phenomenon<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Tifa Lockhart from <em>Final Fantasy VII<\/em>, known for her iconic dark, waist-length hair, suddenly found herself at the center of an <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20210817-172525\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20210817-172525\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unexpected online movement under the hashtag #TifaShortHair<\/a>. The movement was sparked by X user strawderryst who edited CG images from <em>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em>, reimagining Tifa with a short haircut. What started as a simple \u201cwhat if?\u201d quickly snowballed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within days, the hashtag was flooded with fan art from around the world. Since mid-August 2021, posts using #TifaShortHair skyrocketed, with artists offering their own takes on how the martial artist might look with cropped hair instead of her trademark long locks. It wasn\u2019t a demand for change so much as a collective experiment in possibility, driven purely by the fact that, well, she just looks cute with short hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Well, I&#39;ll start. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SquareEnix?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SquareEnix<\/a> \ud83d\udc40<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TifaShortHair?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TifaShortHair<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ogXk3BHIO7\">pic.twitter.com\/ogXk3BHIO7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; strawderryst (@StrawderryST) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StrawderryST\/status\/1425950246014750721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 12, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some fans argued that a martial artist like Tifa might logically have short hair, since long hair could get in the way during combat. Others, however, pushed back on that idea, saying they \u201cwould not consider such factors from real life in a video game.\u201d After all, this is a world where a character casually swings around a sword larger than himself. Realism was never really the point. According to strawderryST, the short-haired version was not an attempt to \u201cfix\u201d Tifa, rewrite her design philosophy or make a statement against \u201cconventional feminine designs\u201d in video games, as some users were suggesting. It was simply a playful, subjective reimagining born out of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lights.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TifaShortHair?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TifaShortHair<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tifa?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tifa<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FinalFantasyVIIRemake?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FinalFantasyVIIRemake<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xBdMGJpIys\">pic.twitter.com\/xBdMGJpIys<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ria \ud83d\udc07 (@Ria_neearts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ria_neearts\/status\/1426282644606754820?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 13, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On a related note, Tifa\u2019s design in Final Fantasy VII Remake has long drawn attention. Ahead of the game\u2019s release, director Tetsuya Nomura told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/201906\/22178467.html?page=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a> that the team aimed to give her \u201cdefined abs\u201d for a more athletic look, while also adjusting her outfit so it would not appear unnatural during intense action scenes.

While some developers prefer to let the players explore the game for themselves, Kojima decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20210908-1870\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20210908-1870\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share some surprisingly specific advice,<\/a> almost like a strategy guide unfolding in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of his first tips focused on navigating the mountain regions filled with BTs. Kojima suggested that players \u201ctry to walk on the footprints you\u2019ve made, and you\u2019ll see orange handprints where BTs have found you.\u201d By avoiding those orange handprints, he explained, players could more easily slip past the otherwise terrifying enemies. It was the kind of mechanical insight that some players had missed entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DS&#39;s hint and tip?<br><br>The part in the mountains where you have to go back and forth across the BT zone.

Judging by the replies, many players were learning about these mechanics for the first time, especially since some accessories are earned through optional deliveries with difficult conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kojima even reflected on how this kind of information used to be distributed. In the past, creators might have shared tips through official guidebooks. Now, he noted, we\u2019re in an age where players exchange strategies directly online. Inspired by his posts, fans began sharing their own discoveries under the hashtag \u201c#\u30c7\u30b9\u30b9\u30c8Tips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3066\u308b\u3066\u308b\u574a\u4e3b\u3092\u3064\u3051\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3068\u96e8\u304c\u964d\u308a\u306b\u304f\u304f\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u261d\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jjmoLtT80D\">https:\/\/t.co\/jjmoLtT80D<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5c0f\u5cf6\u79c0\u592b (@Kojima_Hideo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kojima_Hideo\/status\/1434818571834593284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a way, Kojima\u2019s thread turned into a collaborative strategy archive. A director once associated with cryptic storytelling was now casually helping players optimize ladder placement for motorcycles and navigate invisible threats. It was an unusually direct interaction between creator and audience, though, when you think about it, it was very much something Kojima would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are all kinds of tips being posted beyond what is covered in this article and seeking them out might add yet another layer of enjoyment onto the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/remember-the-pokemon-sapphire-playthrough-which-was-entirely-beaten-by-actual-fish-looking-back-at-some-of-our-weirdest-stories-from-2020\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/remember-the-pokemon-sapphire-playthrough-which-was-entirely-beaten-by-actual-fish-looking-back-at-some-of-our-weirdest-stories-from-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Remember the Pokemon Sapphire playthrough which was entirely beaten by actual fish?
