Eh, I don't HATE Tifa as much as angels_resolve seems to, but I do have a bunch of idiosyncratic issues with her character. Things that personally annoy me, like her lying in order to "protect" Cloud, and her obvious jealousy and such. But I don't hate her. She had a lot of potential for growth, which is something they DID explore within Advent Children. Which I...still need to see. XD;;
