Level Designer Hioki says Tifa was supposed to take the lead for a special mission that took place after she was separated from Cloud at the Sector 5 reactor. The scenario would have taken place around Ch. 7 or 8 and would connect to why she was heading to Don Corneo's place.
The level concept was to show the beginnings of the tragedy that would unfold with the Sector 7 plate and also show Tifa's charm as she takes on the role of a heroine.

The scenario would start off with a rainy scene that would set the mood where you meet with Jessie.
Jessie would brief Tifa on the supposed devastating plans regarding the Sector 7 plate. There would also be some suspicious activity in the slums where the player would wonder what exactly is going on?
The second part of the scenario would show Tifa's charm, depicting her thoughts about her friends and Cloud, her strength as a Heroine, her bravery, kindness, and style too.

Characters involved would be Barret, Marlene, Jessie, and Marle.
The third part of the scenario would have involved showing more about Marle, Marlene, Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge and their own charm as well. It would also touch upon Tifa's doubt and unease at Cloud's disappearance. It would also have more lore about Avalanche's ties with Wutai.
This Tifa-centric scenario was eventually cut, but it would have also shown how Tifa got either one of those three dresses available in the game.

The AVALANCHE hideout would also have been accessible here.

So uh...GIVE US THE TIFA DLC, SQUARE ENIX!!!
