As a party member (and party leader), Tifa helps Cloud on many missions in Midgar, including attacking the Sector 5 reactor, and she later accompanies him in a desperate attempt to stop Shinra from destroying the Sector 7 slums and 7th Heaven. But Avalanche doesn’t stand a chance against Shinra and most of the members of the group are killed. Tifa is eventually forced to flee the city with Cloud, Avalanche leader Barret, and magic-user Aerith.
The game ends with Tifa and the rest of the party pursuing Sephiroth to parts unknown. There’s plenty of story still to retell and hopefully Square Enix will get to give the rest of Final Fantasy VII the remake treatment.
