Why Does Tidus's Map Model Default to the Run Animation?

[Peter_20]

I fail to understand why Tidus is "running" during the dream on Besaid Island and right after you've rescued Yuna in Luca.
He's kinda acting as if he was running, but he stands still!
Is this a glitch, or something?

[Tallulah]

I think it was symbolic of his desire to reach something, but being unable to do it. Hence why it was also in a dream; his goal was unobtainable, which mirrored his frustration and confusion in the waking world.

its not metaphorical hes an athlete (i am not) you do that to pump up your heart rate

[Sain Cai]

Probably getting pumped for the upcoming Blitz Tourney? Not that fighting mechas wouldn't eh?

Running is the only thing that 3D Final Fantasy protagonists know.

Just think of how much of a chore it was for Cloud to walk out of Aeris' house in the middle of the night.
