What do you think is the correct way to pronounce it? I've even heard, Tidius.. *blinks*

Personally, I think TEE-dus is correct because in Kindgom Hearts, I even heard Wakka say his name that way.

I always pronounced it "TEE-dus" because his Japanese name is "TEE-dah" and... Ionno, it just sounds closer to that than "TIE-dus" does.

I never really stopped to think of the reference to the tide waters. x.X

TIE-dus. I know it's supposed to be pronounced TEE-dus, like you said, Wakka pronounces it that way in Kingdom Hearts, but it just sounds weird to me. So I prefer to call him TIE-dus.

Same with me. I always thought Tidus was pronounced 'TIE-dus' in reference to water/tide. I mean, its easy to affiliate water with Tidus. Blitzball... the spring scene... he came back in X-2 in water... so...

And, 'TEE-dus' sounded weired to me too. :sweat: It sounded too feminine for a guys name, IMHO.

So, you're basically saying that it fits him perfectly. :P

Ive always said TIE-DUS, just because thats how you pronounce Tidus in America.. and I've always said it. Most people say its TEE-DUS and I bet they're right, i just like calling him TIE-DUS more and I won't stop calling him that even if its wrong. :D

:lmao:

Well, I didn't think Tidus was that feminine. He striked me more as a jock with a soft side and talked a wee bit too much. :lol:

I always pronounced it "Tee-dus" but it still sounds weird. The way Wakka said it in KH sounded odd to me though. I wonder why they chose that name for him like how I wonder why Zidane was 'Zidane.'

I pronounce it TIE-dus. I know it's pronounced Teedus, but it doesn't sound right, so I procounce it Tiedus anyway, like tidal, tiedus. Tidus. Back when FFX first came out, I always pronounced it Tiedus, then years later KH came out and said Teedus and I'm like, no! Don't screw it up! I always used the pronounciation, Tie-dus. TIE-dus.

The whole time i played the game, i thought it was Tie-dus! :D
Tee-dus just sounds kinda weird.

I prefere Tie-dus, just because it sounds better.

At first, I called him Tee-dus just to annoyed my sister who called him 'Tie-dus', because we argued which one is the right one. Then...she get me to called him Tie-dus. Until I found out it's actually Tee-dus and I was like 'HAH!'. :P

Before the game even came out, just when there were the two pictures of Tidus and Yuna and they had the huge sin picture in the back of the FINAL FNATASY X cover, in stead of both Yuna and Sin, I pronouced it TIDE-US.

Then a month or two before it was released, VG magazines came out with previews of it and confirmed his name was pronouced Tee-dus. So before the game came out I was pronouncing it correctly. Thank goodness.

Now "Yuffie" I didn't know how to pronouce intil Kingdom Hearts. o.O;
