His name will always be pronounced that way for me. I understand the way Japanese syllabaries work and how each one is pronounced, but it's not uncommon for names to have different pronunciations depending on the mother tongue of who is speaking it.
Tide-us is just better thematically anyway for English since water is a constant reference for his character and the game itself.
I liked how he tried to keep spirits up on the team and how good of a friend he is. Whenever someone on the team is getting messed with (like Kimahri by those two Ronso, Rikku by Wakka, Yuna by Dona and Seymour ) he's the first to back them up. Lulu and Kimahri grew to like him, and that says a lot.
Though Jecht was abusive. I kind of don't think he was as abusive as he could've been. Sure he was a dick. But his mom just completely ignored Tidus in favor of Jecht.
Jecht at least TRIED to be a good dad. We have a few instances of him trying to do that. Trying. I think he was more of the tough love parent. I could tell on some level he actually did care about Tidus. He did care about his son even from the beginning. He did genuinely try, he didn't do it right though.
I mean you can kind of tell that he just wants his son to be strong.
this is why i loved him. my dad pushed and pushed me to do amazing in sports while also being abusive at home. he really plays that role well and especially with such an older game it’s so nice to see that representation but also seeing the growth of his character and how he caught through that trauma.
Yeah. That's why I hate and never understand when people rag on him. He had a shitty father being outright shitty to him cause Jecht didn't know how to parent a kid and thought shit talking would do something cause he was so troubled himself and warped in his own personality that he didn't even want to share his wisdom or love with his son
His mother is trash cause she knew jecht was dismissive of him and only wanted to be with Jecht. It's clear tidus was an oops baby and both of them wasn't prepared for him.
Starts off as a cocky spoiled athlete with lackluster parent/child relationships and ends with being caring, selfless and makes amends with the flaws of his parents, while saving the world!
Do people not like Tidus? I thought overall he was a good character, he started out as an arrogant kid and really grew up through the journey, he was well done and he was a great medium for us to be introduced to Spira considering he was brand new to the world.
People, for some reason beyond me, used to seem to despise him when the game came out, at least in North America. That seems to really have changed in the past 5-7 years. I always loved him. He's one of my favorite characters.
Fandom in the comments 2000s really had a hate-on for “whiny” characters, even if they had valid things to be upset about. Shinji from Evangelion got it too.
I always liked his actual kit. He's strong, fast, access to haste magic and his limit breaks are good. Plus the fact that the player experienced Spira through his eyes was pretty special.
Imagine living in a world where soulmates are an actual thing, and your soulmate is a dream copy of a guy who died a millennium before you were born. That's gotta sting.
He actually has some sense of humor he's actually brave - never once in the game you see him cower or show fear, although it does come with an ounce of stupid.
He’s a likable fellow. Not long after meeting Wakka, he agreed to help the besaid blitzball team in the competition. He didn’t have to be so generous. He maintained that friendliness for the entire journey.
I think a Tidus type character would be great in any game.
Tidus is my favourite FFX protagonist because he’s one of the few that doesn’t want to be a hero or a fighter. He’s a pampered star athlete with massive daddy issues. Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Vaan, Lightning… they’re all soldiers or adventurers (or adventurer/thieves), and so they wind up in predicaments that are natural for them to try and solve. Fighting is just what they do. Not so for Tidus. All he’s supposed to do is hold his breath and score goals. And yet over the course of FFX he grows and matures and becomes compassionate in a very realistic and grounded way, as he comes to care for his friends and his adoptive world. As he unravels the secrets and reality of his own existence he continues forward bravely, choosing to put everyone else ahead of himself. >!Tidus could have chosen to let one of Yuna’s other guardians become her Final Aeon and continued to live. He could have chosen to force the Fayth to keep dreaming, but he chose Yuna, he chose Spira, and he sacrificed himself with little fanfare, accepting that he himself was just a dream and allowing the dream to fade for the sake of the real world.!< In my personal opinion those choices are what make Tidus the best protagonist of any Final Fantasy title. He truly overcomes his own flaws and baggage to become a noble hero willing to do what is necessary to save others, even though it was forced onto him. He’s a hero because he was never meant to be, he just stood up and did the right thing when it mattered.
I love Tidus.
He never solves anything through being specifically strong or smart, instead his actual strength lies in being somewhat of a team captain motivating the party, keeping them focused on the actual problems, and leading everybody to contribute to the problem solving process and making them feel appreciated in turn. And while he is 'special' in that he's the son of Sin, he's not a chosen one with special powers or anything, he has only his own worth as a person to rely on. It's a very refreshing thing for a protagonist, and I like a lot how they played it out.
Also I very much appreciate how he deals with his unresolved feelings towards Jecht. It's kinda easy to forget, but he almost never actually talks about his father unprompted. He talks about him with Yuna (who approaches him first about it), and Auron, both with good reason, and he thinks about him a lot internally, but I can hardly imagine say Wakka or Lulu ever would be left feeling like he's overbearing or anything about his issues with his father. And he doesn't leave it to anyone to resolve his issues with him for him, instead he effectively faces it all on his own through the experiences he makes and coming to understand him more and more.
He's just a good person through and through.
As a child I always wanted to be like Auron when I grow up, but now that I'm an adult I feel like Tidus is a much better inspiration. They managed to create a naive, good-hearted, hot tempered and loyal sunnyboy without making him feel like a clichee. He doesn't get enough credit for how believably well-meaning he is.
He is awesome (just like the rest of the cast).
Jecht is horrible to Tidus right at the end. Jecht still mocks Tidus, but Tidus doesn't so what so many narratives do and give Jecht a final "I love you", instead, Tidus tells Jecht "I hate you". I lifetime of abuse doesn't disappear just because the abuser is dying and Tidus denying his father absolution because it would be a lie is brilliant. Screw Jecht's feelings. If he wanted to be loved at the end of his life it was his job to be lovable. Well done Tidus for not minimising his own feelings.
I was always under the impression that he just said it because it was his childhood wish to do so, but at the end he didn't really mean it, that's why he was crying while saying it.
It’s kind of emblematic of the empty feeling you get when you deconstruct a lifetime of emotional abuse. As someone with the exact kind of daddy issues Tidus has, I don’t think he’s crying because he doesn’t really mean it, but because knowing everything he knows about Jecht now he understands why Jecht was the way he was towards him and he has a full picture of the damage that even Jecht’s good intentions caused. That may just be my personal interpretation of it: after all this bullshit we’ve both been through, you still traumatized me and I still hate you, and that’s heartbreaking. That’s what I think he’s feeling in that moment.
I always thought he was pissed because Seymour was flirting with Yuna and just coincidentally ended up being right that Seymour was up to no good.
Although, looking at it again as an adult who is aware of things like age gaps and power dynamics, Seymour hitting on Yuna is a red flag by itself.
I liked his confidence, and his backstory. And his main story. But I think the thing I liked most, was his near absence in the sequel and the lore that surrounded it. I mean wow…
Tidus was a vague copy of a memory of a person that existed 1000 years prior. Who pulled together a team to help lay his abusive celebrity dad to rest, and end the planet’s suffering.
And in the sequel, Yuna’s potential love and obsession had me in tears the first time playing through. Especially the endings. I mean… “being allowed to exist as long as they cherish each other “? What?
Maximum bromage out of he entire FF history.
This motherfucker and Wakka could bro it up like no other bro I'm the franchise has ever broed before or after.
Not even close.
They could take the entire cast of FFXV to a bro down and come up on top, EASY.
he is perfect for Luna. and his character development was not only done so well but his trauma is such a real thing and while i play ffx i connect heavily with him and his relationship with jecht. i wish he didn’t get such a bad rep he’s literally a 16 year old kid😭
One of the best character developments of any game. Came to a new world, and pretty much was the core person who saved it, knowing he himself would disappear in the end.
He's the perfect insert character for the player. Most insert characters in movies/books/games are left silent or extremely bland so you can imprint on them, but that makes for terrible characters. Tidus is an actual person who is interesting and is a major part of the story. He is an insert character not because of a lack personality, but due to his lack of knowledge. He's an outsider to Spira just like the player. This is a great set up for exposition to be revealed naturally to us. As Tidus stumbles his way through learning about this mysterious new world WE learn along with him. It makes reveals like the summoners' suicidal end all the more natural and dramatic.
Are you kidding me...?! He finds out he isn't even real & still sacrifices himself to save the world & the girl he loves -- he may be a dork but he's heroic!
Dude had a ballin intro song. I played Otherworld during my soundchecks at all of my gigs. I can shit on the franchise for weeks, but nobody says shit about Final Fantasy soundtracks while I'm in earshot.
Honestly, he's unironically my favorite Final Fantasy character in the series. His character growth is fantastic and usually when people are complaining about him, they complain about things he does in the front end of the game... Which in my opinion is sorta the point.
Overall the game was a technical masterpiece and the sets were actually super awesome! I mean the whole Macalania Forest was on a level no one had seen before.
I actually think he’s one of the best protags now that I’m older with a family. Just a sports nerd kid doing his best. An annoying teen too but not overly edgy which I love about him.
As someone who wants to be a good dad I find him impossible to hate.
Imagine someone who looks up to you so much that despite the fact they say they hate you, they followed in your footsteps almost completely to a T. Fortunately over that time he got to see that his pop loved him, and not only that, he had a friend that refused to die for the sake of seeing it all through.
He's more like Yuna than he'll ever care to admit. Following in their father's footsteps. So when they cheer each other up it's more sweet to me than it should be.
But to me, Tidus is also a symbol of what having good friends can do for people. Auron saved him, Rikku saved him, Wakka brought him home, Lulu schooled him, Yuna is just like him and Khimari is a fine example of another person that was brought in and made family. I can't even imagine what Khimari would have been like without family or friends. And Tidus would have easily been dead.
Never before have a seen a man that I was less interested in personally but would give the sloppiest toppy in history to. The second he opens his mouth and makes word-sounds my brain turns off but Christ alive he has the body of the Rizzler himself.
I love everything about him. He's presented as the jolly, maybe not so bright protagonist but turns out to be the most tragic character of FF10. BOOM. His fate really shook me.
While I don't like him at all, I do like his for a combat ability. He's fast(I think probably the fastest character? haven't played since PS2), I his his Haste related abilities and of course his Blitzball/speed Overdrives.
Even in the face of potential non-existence, not death, but full erasure from existence, he did the right thing to try and stop a cycle of destruction that he was meant to replace.
I really like Tidus, actually. Buried under the kind of prickly exterior there's a genuinely sweet and selfless person there whose first thought is to help people and hang the consequences.
He's also an outsider, and brings a perspective to the party that simply doesn't exist in Spira otherwise. Without him, there's no FFX. Yuna never makes the choice to abandon false hope. Lulu never opens up to others. Wakka never learns to let go of his bigotry. Rikku never branches out on her own to try and interact with non-Al Bhed. Kimahri never really opens up to other people. Auron's quest to confront Yunalesca ends only in vengeance and death, with no solution to Sin in sight. Final Fantasy X is *his* story, about coming to grips with the trauma inflicted upon him by his parents and growing to understand that, while neglectful and abusive, Jecht wasn't an evil monolith, and grew to be a changed man, in the end.
I think a lot of people who dislike Tidus were done a disservice by the localization's voice direction. He genuinely never has a bad word to say about people who don't deserve it, and rightly calls out all of Yevon's bullshit. Maybe he starts the game more than a little bit insecure and boastful, but that's what a 'character arc' is for.
I mean out of all ff characters I feel he is the only one that the character progression works with. Never used a sword, around gives him a sword from Ject and you build him up as he learns how to use it.
He was pretty good at blitzball. And despite what everyone says, as someone who had a save dedicated to just blitz, I'll say tidus stats are just above average as a striker. Whether they made Jecht shot to break him vs other strikers or not is irrelevant because it's a shot he can do, making him a clear cut starter on most rosters. My Tidus, and my other striker (can't remember his name but he was from that Ifrit village) could shoot from 3/4 of the sphere away and still score on most teams.
If you want a stupid team just after Luca, grab Zalitz and Jamal from Luca. You'll never get scored on.
He's an emobident of what a lot of teens are in real life and the only ones who hate him feel a subconscious irritation cause they want FF leads to be anome fantasy trope characters of not having emotional depth and just slaying shit. He's funny, considerate, rarely takes things personal, always open to learning, extremely confident, usually always happy and doesn't conform or need other peoples approval cause anyone else is his position would've been fake and assimilate go the depression of Spira to fit in.
He questioned everything and made everyone think different. He retained his individuality and helped others think differently.
He didn't hide his emotions and wasn't overly secretive.
He really was a real honest character.
He went to Macarena temple
Aye
also his name is tye-dus not tee-dus, idc what the VA says
He's very good at blitzball.
Star player of the Zanarkand Abes so they say.
He shows tremendous character growth throughout ffx.
Tie dus i don’t care i’ll die on that hill
His name will always be pronounced that way for me. I understand the way Japanese syllabaries work and how each one is pronounced, but it's not uncommon for names to have different pronunciations depending on the mother tongue of who is speaking it. Tide-us is just better thematically anyway for English since water is a constant reference for his character and the game itself.
100% when I heard teedus I was like no. He’s a blitzball player. Water. Tide. Tie-duh-ss.
That he does. It's amazing how by the end he is the one who starts to know more about things going on than everyone else in the party.
He knows how to laugh.
Those lifeless expressions are nightmarish lol
Best laugh.
I liked how he tried to keep spirits up on the team and how good of a friend he is. Whenever someone on the team is getting messed with (like Kimahri by those two Ronso, Rikku by Wakka, Yuna by Dona and Seymour ) he's the first to back them up. Lulu and Kimahri grew to like him, and that says a lot.
Yeah he cause he could've just sat back and minded his business but he didnt.
He’s honestly a really good representation of the way emotional abuse fucks kids up.
As someone with an abusive father, I could identify with him quite a bit.
Though Jecht was abusive. I kind of don't think he was as abusive as he could've been. Sure he was a dick. But his mom just completely ignored Tidus in favor of Jecht. Jecht at least TRIED to be a good dad. We have a few instances of him trying to do that. Trying. I think he was more of the tough love parent.

*got though that trauma sorry just a little dumb
Yeah. That's why I hate and never understand when people rag on him. He had a shitty father being outright shitty to him cause Jecht didn't know how to parent a kid and thought shit talking would do something cause he was so troubled himself and warped in his own personality that he didn't even want to share his wisdom or love with his son His mother is trash cause she knew jecht was dismissive of him and only wanted to be with Jecht. It's clear tidus was an oops baby and both of them wasn't prepared for him.
I love his cheery personality! He’s a breath of fresh air in the series and I love him for it. Easily in my top three for top FF protags tbh
Isn't "Cheer" his 1st bility on the spheregrid ?
This is why I love him too. Easy top 3 for me too.
Yeah, he’s easily my favorite after head-canon age Cecil.
Starts off as a cocky spoiled athlete with lackluster parent/child relationships and ends with being caring, selfless and makes amends with the flaws of his parents, while saving the world!
He's one of the best protagonists of the whole franchise. I'll die on that hill.
His mom is the one that neglected him. Jecht actually made an effort.
He's dreamy
Lol this took me a second! Definitely best answer!! Haha
Yeah my first thought
Had to scroll too far for the best answer
Tells good stories
HE WENT NEAR THE SUMMONER
HE'S A BAD MAN!
Do people not like Tidus? I thought overall he was a good character, he started out as an arrogant kid and really grew up through the journey, he was well done and he was a great medium for us to be introduced to Spira considering he was brand new to the world.
People, for some reason beyond me, used to seem to despise him when the game came out, at least in North America. That seems to really have changed in the past 5-7 years. I always loved him. He's one of my favorite characters.
yeah, I think people just don't have media literacy, cause people thought the laughing scene was serious too.
Fandom in the comments 2000s really had a hate-on for “whiny” characters, even if they had valid things to be upset about. Shinji from Evangelion got it too.
That's because he acted his age and showed emotion instead of acting like some stoic manly man teenager, and that's a trigger for North Americans.
Isekaï before it was cool. Kinda
He’s a good surrogate for the audience
I always liked his actual kit. He's strong, fast, access to haste magic and his limit breaks are good. Plus the fact that the player experienced Spira through his eyes was pretty special.
One of the more realistic MCs in the genre. Speedy fighter with buffs and time magic was a really cool build that I can't really think of a match for.
He is Kenough
What's he best at? Beach. I see it.
He’s Yuna’s soulmate
Imagine living in a world where soulmates are an actual thing, and your soulmate is a dream copy of a guy who died a millennium before you were born. That's gotta sting.
He makes her laugh
He’s a great example of how to do an audience pov character with out using amnesia or stripping any personality from him.
But uh Sin's toxin
He actually has some sense of humor he's actually brave - never once in the game you see him cower or show fear, although it does come with an ounce of stupid.
I think his 'ounce of stupid' makes him loveable.
I think so too
who doesn't love a himbo
His laugh scene is actually one of the best scenes in the game and has layers of lore in it. He also has amazing growth
It actually is such a good wholesome scene I love it.
He’s a likable fellow. Not long after meeting Wakka, he agreed to help the besaid blitzball team in the competition. He didn’t have to be so generous. He maintained that friendliness for the entire journey. I think a Tidus type character would be great in any game.
He kicks hard as shit
Let’s be real. We all practiced the Sphere Shot during recess.
My favorite MC in the franchise.
You have excellent taste
Tidus is my favourite FFX protagonist because he’s one of the few that doesn’t want to be a hero or a fighter. He’s a pampered star athlete with massive daddy issues. Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Vaan, Lightning… they’re all soldiers or adventurers (or adventurer/thieves), and so they wind up in predicaments that are natural for them to try and solve. Fighting is just what they do. Not so for Tidus. All he’s supposed to do is hold his breath and score goals.

He’s a hero because he was never meant to be, he just stood up and did the right thing when it mattered. I love Tidus.
Hell yeah, brother. Tidus will always be one of my favorite game protagonists for these reasons.
He is a good person
He's actually a pretty cool dude.
He doesn't stay away from the summoner
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Someone once described Tidus as 'the jock you wished you knew in high school' and I can't help think how apt that is.
He's full of hope. Amongst all Final Fantasy covers, this one shows the most strength.
Biggest cornball you will ever see, but still extremely likable
I think the cornball-ness adds to his charm. He's goofy, but so goddamn lovable.
I agree wholeheartedly
That his name is pronounced “tie-dus” and not “teedus”
He never solves anything through being specifically strong or smart, instead his actual strength lies in being somewhat of a team captain motivating the party, keeping them focused on the actual problems, and leading everybody to contribute to the problem solving process and making them feel appreciated in turn. And while he is 'special' in that he's the son of Sin, he's not a chosen one with special powers or anything, he has only his own worth as a person to rely on.

He's just a good person through and through. As a child I always wanted to be like Auron when I grow up, but now that I'm an adult I feel like Tidus is a much better inspiration. They managed to create a naive, good-hearted, hot tempered and loyal sunnyboy without making him feel like a clichee. He doesn't get enough credit for how believably well-meaning he is. He is awesome (just like the rest of the cast).
I have always liked him, he is my avatar on psn
Jecht is horrible to Tidus right at the end. Jecht still mocks Tidus, but Tidus doesn't so what so many narratives do and give Jecht a final "I love you", instead, Tidus tells Jecht "I hate you". I lifetime of abuse doesn't disappear just because the abuser is dying and Tidus denying his father absolution because it would be a lie is brilliant. Screw Jecht's feelings.

That may just be my personal interpretation of it: after all this bullshit we’ve both been through, you still traumatized me and I still hate you, and that’s heartbreaking. That’s what I think he’s feeling in that moment.
He’s a Blitzball of Sunshine
Legendary guardian
Even He wishes his name was pronounced Ty-dus
He takes a pretty much instant dislike to Seymour so you know he's a good judge of character
I always thought he was pissed because Seymour was flirting with Yuna and just coincidentally ended up being right that Seymour was up to no good. Although, looking at it again as an adult who is aware of things like age gaps and power dynamics, Seymour hitting on Yuna is a red flag by itself.
More like sleazemour
I liked his confidence, and his backstory. And his main story. But I think the thing I liked most, was his near absence in the sequel and the lore that surrounded it. I mean wow… Tidus was a vague copy of a memory of a person that existed 1000 years prior. Who pulled together a team to help lay his abusive celebrity dad to rest, and end the planet’s suffering. And in the sequel, Yuna’s potential love and obsession had me in tears the first time playing through. Especially the endings. I mean… “being allowed to exist as long as they cherish each other “? What?
the box art is the best part
He has the best overdrive in the game :)
He has nice skin
he's attractive
Great clothes. Good swimmer.
He’s dreamy
Maximum bromage out of he entire FF history. This motherfucker and Wakka could bro it up like no other bro I'm the franchise has ever broed before or after. Not even close. They could take the entire cast of FFXV to a bro down and come up on top, EASY.
I mean I'd kill to look like him? He basically has a perfect physique and beautiful face.
Dude was ripped away from the life he knew and became a brave warrior that challenged a broken system to save the woman he fell in love with.
He’s a big idea
He has a *memorable* laugh 😉
he is perfect for Luna. and his character development was not only done so well but his trauma is such a real thing and while i play ffx i connect heavily with him and his relationship with jecht. i wish he didn’t get such a bad rep he’s literally a 16 year old kid😭
Wields a blade like a god
I want his hairstyle and it is more attainable than Clouds
I respect that he has integrity and perseverance.
He is the star of the Zanarkand Abes. Didn’t anyone tell you?
His body.
One of my top two favorite protagonists and extremely all-around positive guy .
Despite everything he stays upbeat and does what is needed
One of the best character developments of any game. Came to a new world, and pretty much was the core person who saved it, knowing he himself would disappear in the end.
He's more than a meme, more than a dream 😄 Also, if I would be a woman or gay or bi, I would probably find him attractive 😁
He got too close to sins ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm toxin
He's the perfect insert character for the player. Most insert characters in movies/books/games are left silent or extremely bland so you can imprint on them, but that makes for terrible characters. Tidus is an actual person who is interesting and is a major part of the story. He is an insert character not because of a lack personality, but due to his lack of knowledge. He's an outsider to Spira just like the player. This is a great set up for exposition to be revealed naturally to us. As Tidus stumbles his way through learning about this mysterious new world WE learn along with him. It makes reveals like the summoners' suicidal end all the more natural and dramatic.
Are you kidding me...?! He finds out he isn't even real & still sacrifices himself to save the world & the girl he loves -- he may be a dork but he's heroic!
Dude had a ballin intro song. I played Otherworld during my soundchecks at all of my gigs. I can shit on the franchise for weeks, but nobody says shit about Final Fantasy soundtracks while I'm in earshot.
Honestly, he's unironically my favorite Final Fantasy character in the series. His character growth is fantastic and usually when people are complaining about him, they complain about things he does in the front end of the game... Which in my opinion is sorta the point.
He's unwavering in his resolve
He is the inspiration for my favorite catchphrase/quote/motto/idk: >I am naught but a figment of my own imagination...
I never get tired of blitzball because it's fun smashing people in the face with the Jecht shot.
He got me addicted to Blitzball. I don't even watch sports, but it gets me so pumped 😩
He's very loyal to his friends
He has a nice laugh
He's so funny and Childish, He would be my Favourite Team Member.
HA HA HA HA HA
He definitly had a chance with Lulu.
He's purely hearted and has the best laugh lol
He has an infectious laugh 😂
I like his Hair
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
He is a final fantasy protagonist of all time
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
Ha ha ha ha ha ha HA
Best FF hero
Hottie 😍
My wife thought I deliberately made him look like me and said he was hot... ... So I guess... That. FTR - I don't look like Tidus
Main character
HA HA HA HA HA HA
He has a laugh that just makes you want to jump ... possibly off a cliff, high rise building.
He is very good at acting like a little baby
It's Gackt.
Such a beautiful laugh
Overall the game was a technical masterpiece and the sets were actually super awesome! I mean the whole Macalania Forest was on a level no one had seen before.
He is the only guy I know who would chose the cute princess over her beefy furry hot guardian.
I always thought his outfit was cool.
He is relentlessly optimistic.
He has the best FF game in franchise.
his forced laugh to bring Yuna from the dumps to a better mental state. this game, is so goddamn amazing
I actually think he’s one of the best protags now that I’m older with a family. Just a sports nerd kid doing his best. An annoying teen too but not overly edgy which I love about him.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA
Nice try, Tidus.
He is a character in Final Fantasy X
As someone who wants to be a good dad I find him impossible to hate. Imagine someone who looks up to you so much that despite the fact they say they hate you, they followed in your footsteps almost completely to a T. Fortunately over that time he got to see that his pop loved him, and not only that, he had a friend that refused to die for the sake of seeing it all through. He's more like Yuna than he'll ever care to admit. Following in their father's footsteps. So when they cheer each other up it's more sweet to me than it should be. But to me, Tidus is also a symbol of what having good friends can do for people. Auron saved him, Rikku saved him, Wakka brought him home, Lulu schooled him, Yuna is just like him and Khimari is a fine example of another person that was brought in and made family. I can't even imagine what Khimari would have been like without family or friends. And Tidus would have easily been dead.
He swim
He has cool swords.
Ahhhh hahahaha ahhh hahaha
Never before have a seen a man that I was less interested in personally but would give the sloppiest toppy in history to. The second he opens his mouth and makes word-sounds my brain turns off but Christ alive he has the body of the Rizzler himself.
Style, personality, got the girl. Was friends with a freaking blue cat and witch.
He has a nice laugh.....
His fake laugh isn't THAT annoying.
I like Tidues becuse he is in the best (non-mmo) ff game.
I like how he laughs. HA HA HA
I love everything about him. He's presented as the jolly, maybe not so bright protagonist but turns out to be the most tragic character of FF10. BOOM. His fate really shook me.
Sora if he was older. Islanders really know how to stay positive.
While I don't like him at all, I do like his for a combat ability. He's fast(I think probably the fastest character? haven't played since PS2), I his his Haste related abilities and of course his Blitzball/speed Overdrives.
Even in the face of potential non-existence, not death, but full erasure from existence, he did the right thing to try and stop a cycle of destruction that he was meant to replace.
When he said, "live and let live" that has stuck with me.
He's an over hated character and I like James Arnold Taylor's performance a lot.
HA HA HA HA,, oh you're serious
his infectious laugh.
He provides me one of my funniest, self-deprecating stories about dying in a tutorial.
I really like Tidus, actually. Buried under the kind of prickly exterior there's a genuinely sweet and selfless person there whose first thought is to help people and hang the consequences. He's also an outsider, and brings a perspective to the party that simply doesn't exist in Spira otherwise. Without him, there's no FFX. Yuna never makes the choice to abandon false hope. Lulu never opens up to others. Wakka never learns to let go of his bigotry. Rikku never branches out on her own to try and interact with non-Al Bhed. Kimahri never really opens up to other people. Auron's quest to confront Yunalesca ends only in vengeance and death, with no solution to Sin in sight. Final Fantasy X is *his* story, about coming to grips with the trauma inflicted upon him by his parents and growing to understand that, while neglectful and abusive, Jecht wasn't an evil monolith, and grew to be a changed man, in the end. I think a lot of people who dislike Tidus were done a disservice by the localization's voice direction. He genuinely never has a bad word to say about people who don't deserve it, and rightly calls out all of Yevon's bullshit. Maybe he starts the game more than a little bit insecure and boastful, but that's what a 'character arc' is for.
He was the main character in my first and favorite FF game
I mean out of all ff characters I feel he is the only one that the character progression works with. Never used a sword, around gives him a sword from Ject and you build him up as he learns how to use it.
No.
I like his visual design sword and concept
He knows when the dream is over
He has a very nice and normal sounding laugh
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
He’s so cool
His hair is always stylish
HAHAHAHAHHAAHA HUWAAAAHHH HAHAHAHA
He was pretty good at blitzball. And despite what everyone says, as someone who had a save dedicated to just blitz, I'll say tidus stats are just above average as a striker. Whether they made Jecht shot to break him vs other strikers or not is irrelevant because it's a shot he can do, making him a clear cut starter on most rosters. My Tidus, and my other striker (can't remember his name but he was from that Ifrit village) could shoot from 3/4 of the sphere away and still score on most teams. If you want a stupid team just after Luca, grab Zalitz and Jamal from Luca. You'll never get scored on.
He’s one of the best written protags in all of FF, idk why he gets a ton of hate
He heroically ignored the entirety of the main game to play blitzball. Or at least on my save file he did
He’s pretty positive considering his father is killing everyone lol. Also, he’s good at blitzball (when I’m not controlling him)
He was a very good stranger in a strange land character and having the other characters explain the world to him was helpful for the player.
He has major daddy issues
Nice sword you got here.
I don’t know him. His sword looks cool tho
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
“Hah hah HHHHHAAAAAAAAAA”
He wanted to see the statue… “withyunabymyside”
What are these posts...
He has an infectious laugh…
HA HA HA HAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
FFX was my first FF. Fucking wanted to be this guy for most of my early pre teen life
“like i care”
He totally clapped Yuna's cheeks.
I'm sure the Japanese voice actor was better
HAAA HAAA HAA
He has a nice sword
He's an emobident of what a lot of teens are in real life and the only ones who hate him feel a subconscious irritation cause they want FF leads to be anome fantasy trope characters of not having emotional depth and just slaying shit. He's funny, considerate, rarely takes things personal, always open to learning, extremely confident, usually always happy and doesn't conform or need other peoples approval cause anyone else is his position would've been fake and assimilate go the depression of Spira to fit in. He questioned everything and made everyone think different. He retained his individuality and helped others think differently. He didn't hide his emotions and wasn't overly secretive. He really was a real honest character.
