Behind the scenes

Tifa's Dad FFVII Concept Art

Concept art of Tifa's father by Tetsuya Nomura.

Tifa's father is known as Tifapapa (ティファパパ, Tifapapa?) in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VII, with the first part of his name changing based on what the player names Tifa. This name only features as his speaker name. In English he has no speaker name. Tetsuya Nomura's concept art labels him "Brian Lockhart" (ブライアン・ロックハート, Buraian Rokkuhāto?), although this name is not used elsewhere.

Tifa calls her father Papa (パパ, Papa?) in Final Fantasy VII, while the maturer Tifa interpretation in Last Order calls him (父さん, Tōsan?) and refers to him as chichi (?) to others.[1]

His concept art by Tetsuya Nomura mentions him to be 40 years old.
