floorman is an unknown quantity at this point
Under no circumstances should you ever tile directly over 3/4 t&g flooring.You will need to either pull the flooring out where you want to tile or go over the wood with a layer of 5/8 plywood to isolate the t&g flooring but then the flooring levels will not be the same that way.
You would need to cut the flooring and the plywood in a way that you would be able to get the new flooring in and maintain the level desired,which trying to get the lines straight and even and still maintain the integrity of the wood may be harder than we think.
Whatever you decide it will not be easy,so when you commit to it be ready for a pain in the arse experience.
The easiest and best way may be to go over the wood with plywood and live with the transition
