Story

Nibelheim Incident

LO Tifa's Father SS

The death scene in Last Order.

Seen in Last Order -Final Fantasy VII-, during the Nibelheim Incident, Tifa runs through a burning Nibelheim shouting out to her father when she sees her master, Zangan, who tells her Sephiroth set fire to the town and killed the townspeople. Tifa asks for her father and Zangan replies he has gone to Mt. Nibel. She arrives at the Mako Reactor and finds her father lying injured on the ground with Sephiroth's Masamune close by covered in blood.

Tifa tells him to hang on, cradling him in her arms. He tells her to run away and dies before her eyes. Tifa declares her hatred for Shinra, SOLDIER, mako, and Sephiroth. She runs into the reactor to confront Sephiroth with the Masamune but is easily disarmed and cast aside.
