Yes, I have called him Tie-dus the whole time too. That's the way I thought it was pronounced. I read somewhere in an article that it's supposed to be pronounced as 'Tee-dus'. I don't like the sound of Tee-dus so I say it the other way still. It sounds a lot better. I remember playing KH and Wakka calls him 'Tee-dus'. I was very confused about that until I read that article.

I find it silly how they never mention his name in both X and X-2. What's up with that? They say everyone else's name but not his. He's always referred to as 'him'.

I haven't completed the game yet but so far I am really enjoying it. I know a lot of people aren't a big fan of this game at all. The storyline is a little slow but it's still entertaining. The character's are awesome too. It's really not as bad as people say it is! The side quests are entertaining and I enjoy doing most of them. I don't like the idea how there are three different endings though. I would prefer just one. You have to have most of the game completed to be able to view the perfect ending. I don't think I'll be getting the perfect ending lol.

oh and crazy chocobo..the reseaon why they dont say his name in FFX..is because in teh beginign of teh gae..you are allowed to change his name.

On the Tie-dus vs Tee-dus issue... This is one of the rare games where the names were verbally the same as the Japanese version...
(Whips out Jap/Eng dictionary)
In Japanese the Katakana and Hiragana for Ti would be pronounced as a long e sound, and Te would be short e. They really do not have an I sound like the English language does. So, technically his name would be pronounced Tee-dus, though most English-speaking countries would romanticize (or Romanize) it as Tie-dus.

If you didn't understand that, let me know.

This makes a lot of sense!! I would never have thought of that! Thanks!

On the Tee-dus Tie-dus issue: I thought they called him Tee-dus in KH because (spoiler warning)
he technically dies at the end of FFX, so he cant be "Tie-dus" if he's dead, so they change it to Tee-dus. I know that in Japanese "i" makes an "ee" sound im not saying thats wrong, but if you notice in KH2, Selphie says in one scene "Tie-dus and Wakka are all wrapped up in their ballgame and wont go with me." Now, were back to Tie-dus. This is after FFX-2 has been released, and u can get Tidus to come back in that, so he technically isnt dead anymore. So, yeah, I call him Tie-dus but, I dont know.....

I personally call 'im Tie-dus, always have and always will! But even if it is Tee-dus, I'll still call 'im Tie-dus!

when i first saw his name i thought it was pronounced like "Tee-dus"... i think someone said (on arround page 3 i think?? i dunno y i was reading all of this... lol) that you can choose what you named Tidus. i dont rmember this, but i havnt played FFX from the begining in a LONG time so.. yea. if you can pick what you name him, then it makes sense that they just call Tidus "him" through both games. and i thought this whole thing was solved in KH1 when wakka called him "Tee-dus", and then in KH2, selphie called him "Tie-dus". but if you think about this WAY too much (like i am going to do right now...), you realize that selphie is from an older FF game that Tidus wasnt in, and probably doesnt know what his name really is. and wakka is from the same game that Tidus is in. so, for this reason, i think his name is pronounced "Tee-dus". again, i know i thought WAYYYY out of the box here but... yea. sooo, that is my take on the whole "Tee-dus" vs. "Tie-dus" thing.

[Xeim]

That makes sense, but Selphie, Wakka and Tidus were all supposed to have known each other for a while. None of them actually lived in their respective worlds or time periods in KH.

[Stevie_D_1292]

thats very true, but ,again, i was think wayyy out of the box. lol.

[Xeim]

Well, I guess the only real way to solve this once and for all is to call Square-Enix. . I'll call him "Tie-dus" forever though, cause it sounds cooler........

[Stevie_D_1292]

i wish you could do that with any game... just call up the people who made it and tell them 2 tell u anything u want lol.

[Xeim]

It would be nice.......
Hey, is there a way to call Square? Cause im there if there is.
Must solve the Tee-dus Tie-dus mystery!!!!!
