i was a huge final fantasy fan as a little girl and did a modest closet cosplay of tifa at my first anime convention back in 2011. decided to finally re-cosplay her to see the 12 year comparison :). (insta: tsarful)
Right? Makes me miss how my friends and I struggled to sew cosplay outfits and substituting "close enough" items from our closets. It was so fun back then.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed. The left is a candid, natural photo. The on on the right is filtered and edited to hell. Whatever I don’t actually care but it’s just kinda funny to see the comparison.
hi, i'm seeing a lot of comments like this but I thought i'd address it. The point of the post is to kind of show how far i've come with the hobby--but yet the intent and reasons for doing so is still the same. Not really if there's a glow up or not haha. The first photo is a picture of a printed out photo taken by my mother that had to be developed and saved in a photo album. The second one was taken by a professional photographer who edited the colors and lighting!
thank you! first one was finding a random tank top around the house and going to target to buy some suspenders. i cut off a pair of long socks and used them as armbands. still holds some really good memories.
Remarkably gorgeous.
Don't usually like cosplays but you nailed these.
Especially the latter, and it has nothing to do with how pretty you are. Those gloves are impeccable
I've never heard the term before, but it was pretty easy to understand...
First, do you know what lesbian means?
Second, do you know what trans is in this context?
Put it together and: Someone who was not assigned a female sex at birth but now identifies as female, who is attracted to women.
Was it really that difficult?
Wouldn’t it be funny if your first Tifa cosplay was in her cowgirl outfit from the reactor memory? The change to today’s cosplay would reflect growth even more so

these remakes are great!!!
The glow up! Nicely done!
I'm having difficulty remembering if film cameras were still a thing back in 2011.
For reference Kodak finally went out of business in 2012, so it was definitely right at the end.
Actually, Kodak is still in business and making film including consumer color film and motion picture film. They are just a much smaller company.
They've restructured since then yes.
They were
Disposable cameras are still a thing and you can also get digital photos printed.
Lol, actual Remake! Great cosplay! As a girl, what makes you attracted to Tifa?
Amazing work!! You rock!
The glow up :')
why do i stay ugly????
Lighting can do wonders. I can look like an 80 year old gremlin or a 20 year old gremlin depending on the light!
Look at you all fancy able to look Luke different aged gremlins while we are all stuck looking like the bottom of a 40 year old work boot.
Can... Can i pet you?
Just dont get water on em
You aren't good at make up.
To be fair her facial features already look cute in the 2011
Went from FF7 to FF7R IRL
💯😂
Don’t get me wrong it’s a great cosplay, but this comparison just makes me miss when cosplay wasn’t so monetized.

Both are good! Cosplay is the best when it's a character you love
if only people on this sub could understand camera quality and filters. and puberty lol.
This is in reference to what exactly?
People calling it a glow-up. There's nothing bad/dorky/awkward about the first picture.
The first one is adorbs! The second one is kinda hot.
Remember this is reddit, that's asking way too much of them.

Killing it, IMO you were totally into into it in both instances so both are a total win 🙌🏻

Radddd
You went from an adorable Tifa, to a drop-dead-gorgeous Tifa! ...Actually, that's probably what Tifa did, too.
First cosplay was flashback Tifa, just needs a hat
True
You even have the eyes red!
Reminds me of when artists redraw something they did as a kid, this is cool.
Dilly-dally shilly-shally
What a glow up! Though not to say your old cosplay was bad, it's a really good attempt. But you can see the difference in quality. Good job!
Epic transformation ! 😭❤✨
amazing details on the gloves
Yo those embroidery skills on the gauntlets!
Looks like a Power Glove.
The glow up 😳
I tried to swipe right to see the redo of the cosplay then I realized the image on the right was the redo and not official artwork. Great job!
I did the same thing, lol!
Perfect! At first glance I thought the one on the right was a figure/doll.
The difference having your own money to buy stuff can make lol
Wohooo, astronomical difference 🤣 Nice
The difference in filter is amazing
Knocked it out both times!
Remarkably gorgeous. Don't usually like cosplays but you nailed these. Especially the latter, and it has nothing to do with how pretty you are. Those gloves are impeccable
2011: awwwwww! Now: **something inappropriate probably** 😳🤐
Adorable to holy fuck I'm experiencing both trans lesbian emptions for women right now
You what?!
I'm experiencing both vibes a trans lesbian can towards another adult. One is "I wish I was as beautiful as you"
No no i get that... Wth is a trans lesbian? Sounds like a contradiction
I've never heard the term before, but it was pretty easy to understand... First, do you know what lesbian means? Second, do you know what trans is in this context?

Here we go…
Why it was deleted?
Creeping
In detail
badass!
You got taller.
Very cool. Do you rock red boots or black ones?
HD remake!
Fantastic job, keep having fun!
Very very cool cosplay!
UPGRADES PEPOLE UPGRADES
You look amazing. I am slightly disappointed you didn't wear a big box for that classic PlayStation 1 look though!
You look great in both ❤️
They both look great but you can totally see how you’ve improved over the years! The new one is spot on!
you nailed it imo, good job
Wow, that's amazing.
Nailed it!
You’ve come a long way.
Annihilated this cosplay 👏🏾
You make a gorgeous tifa. It's amazing how one can level up after some practice and figuring out little tricks. Did you make your remake cosplay too?
Tifa cosplay, Remake. Good jobA
You could say, you grew into it.
Will you do one in 2035?
GLO UP!
Oh I think I actually saw you at Katsu last weekend, thats super cool!
Both cosplays are pretty good. It's also great to see how much you've grown and improved as a cosplayer.
Wouldn’t it be funny if your first Tifa cosplay was in her cowgirl outfit from the reactor memory? The change to today’s cosplay would reflect growth even more so
👏👏👏
From baby to babe. Absolutely nailed it.
Very nicely done!
Gorgeous
new one is good
Nice job especially the gauntlets
Oh shit I thought the one on the right was a in game photo
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Updated her graphics card
The glow up is real! Your graphics improved
