In the American version I particularly didn't like his voice. Your opinions? It was too steriotypical American surfer like to me..

Somebody on here once said that it sounded like Fry from Futurama. I agree, only it's sort of got a more whiny tone. They really should not have added voices - or at least if they couldn't find any decent voice actors.

His voice didn't annoy me much. The fact that he uses a different voice while in Zanarkand to the voice he uses in all other places is one of the stupidest pieces of video game history ever.
Along with this, the mini-games and Yuna's existence as a main character, I am becoming more and more convinced that FFX was actual some kind of evil experiment.

Surprisingly, he was voiced by the same person as Fry, which might explain why they sound the same :p

His voice bugged me a few times, but overall I'm ok with it. I likes his voice when he talks about his story. It's different as Phoenix 17 said. ^.^

Strange thing is, I've never seen his name in the credits of Futurama as Fry, unless he goes by two different names like some voice actors do. John DiMaggio's(Wakka) name, yes, I've seen his in the credits as the voice of Bender, but James Arnold Taylor, as the voice of Fry, no. He did however, do a voice in Futurama, Walla.

All in all, I liked his voice just fine. Call me weird. I do not prefer original Japanese audio over English dubs, ever.

Psychotic i agree with you 100%!!!!!

but imagine if they really got the voice actor of fry to play as tidus...it would have been quite interesting, but fry's voice is a little too sarcastic sometimes

omg really?!?!? i don't believe that fully for some reason because tidus' voice acting lacked skill like emotion, and fry's from Futurama, sounds more professional so yeah.
but i'll look into this...

His voice didn't bug me. Only the parts where he is yelling at his dad or Auron .. or whoever, that's when his voice got annoying. But I liked it when just talked, It's cute! =^.^=

I love his voice. =D The only Japanese voice I liked was Yuna's, and hey, I've grown to like her English voice too. If you don't like his voice, it isn't hard to reach for the TV screen or remote and press mute.

Strangely, hardly anything bugs me. o_o The only thing in the world that annoys me alot is the nagging and bitching of my parents, but it's hard not to get angry and irritated and them, so.

In short: Tidus' ENGLISH voice foreva, babay. xD

The person that does Fry's voice in futurama, does infact do Tidus's voice and it is a fact that the person that does bender's voice does Wakka but with an accent added, if u really listen to his voice, u can really c it's bender

Yes, it takes a lot of skill to say "Yuna.. gone" :P

Sorry, but Yuna's voice sucked the most out of them all. Well, maybe not the voice, but the voice acting behind it - she sounded bored and emotionless a lot of the time. The others were generally acceptable though. I still think they should have released a dual-language version where you can mix and match voices and subs to your liking - it's on DVD after all, surely there's space for that :p

I liked Yuna's voice a lot it was petty. Ya Know?

I liked all the voices exept for Tidus and Yuna. Yuna was just way too soft and quiet. The only time I think her voice fit was the ending. It was like she was holding back till then. Tidus just sounded like he was just hitting puberty. :mad:

Mmm....I found Tidus' voice sound like someone inside Atlantis (Animation). I forget his name. I'm sure for it.

Several Futurama actors did voices for FFX. I don't remember who Bender's voice was, but I think it was Kimarhi.

Tidus' voice was also Jonny Quest from the 1990's series, which is probably the only reason why I liked it.

Ive already said once, cant u ppl scroll up 2 look, fry from futurama is tidus and bender does wakka's voice, and i know that 4 a fact, Just look at the credits on futurama, i know it doesnt say who speaks as who but then if u look at the end credits on ffx and it does tell u who speaks as who and u just match the names up from both. It's not hard to do.

very annoying. and not once does anyone say his name, except for a guado in guadosalam (only if you win the tournament, and its only in text... not spoken). his voice and yuna's voice are by far the most annoying voices in any video game.

Bender (And Farnsworth) as Wakka?! Wow... I can actually see Fry being Tidus, now you mention it, but Bender?! Even better than that, Odie!

Personally, I liked Tidus voice - I think his character was supposed to be whiney (has been since a kid), so that can't be blamed on the voice actor. TBH, I generally like Tidus anyway - he has flaws, but that just makes him all the more believable.

As for Yuna, her voice did seem to grate a little - it sounded strained. But then, thinking about it, perhaps that's because she's tired? Every day she walks miles, fights along the way, not to mention a few sendings here and there. And when the others just stand around in the Temples, she has to pray to the Fayth, which seems a very ardous task...

Add to that having to always appear vibrant, even when there are just her guardians there... that has to take it's toll...

Besides, could you imagine if she did get all excited? The pitch of her voice would deafen me, I'm sure!

My flatmate's got a thing against Wakka's voice, but I always found that to be a damn good impression of somebody from a very tropical cimate...

Tidus I liked. Good voice and well acted. It fit together. I'm weirded out by his narration voice though. It was still good, but I still can't hear a connection between talking and thinking Tidus. As for Yuna, good voice, poor acting. Too many pauses and all of the short lines were rushed souning. As for Wakka being played by Bender, :whoa: . Never would've guessed, but I'll listen closely next time I play. And to Tidus to, though I can kinda hear a connection.

With all these Futurama/FFX parallels, how long until we start seeing Fry and Bender in the places of Tidus and Wakka?

Actually, I didn't mind any of the voices. I liked Lulu's in particular, I thought she did a good job at portraying her character.

Zild
08-06-2003, 07:26 PM
I haven't completed it yet, so I don't know for sure... does the naration (at the start of the game) actually happen in the middle of the game, or after the end? If it's after the end of the game, perhaps Tidus has grown up a lot more?

Otherwise, hmm... harder to explain...

Perhaps... perhaps he's less happy when thinking to himself? Perhaps he doesn't need to be so excited?

Perhaps he has had more time to consider things, so he can talk of them more evenly, and more fairly...

I'm kind've fed up with the "Tidus is a b****" threads... When you compare it to the actions of some earlier characters (for example Zell, my Avatar) is it really so bad?

Again, I think that Tidus was portrayed very well by his voice-actor. They all were. (Except maybe Auron... can anybody ever sound that cool?!)

I liked Zell. He was probably one of my favorites 'heros' out of all the FF games. Seifer has the nerve to call him chicken wuss when he was the one who got his ass kicked and didn't make SeeD.

Zild
08-09-2003, 05:25 AM
Obviously I liked Zell too... why else would he be my avatar? (Okay, I would rather have Vivi - HE'S SO CUTE! - but I can't find a nice picture of him... isn't there one near the beginning of 9 where he looks up at the ship or something? That mght be a good one if I could find it...)

My only problem with Zell is his reaction to the Seifer - he tends to get all whiney... The reason I picked on him is because everybody complains about Tidus whining, but I don't think that's very fair... (especially given his sudden change in situation...)

So, no effence all you other Zell fans :)

i think the reason y tidus's narration voice sounded different was becuz at the beginning of the game he new nothing about everything and was young but as the game went on he grew up and lost his little kid voice and started acting older, and i think the same goes with yuna but i reliezed that his voice started changing after u meet Auron ( which would b after tidus found out who his dad was) and yuna's voice was stronger after the al bhed took her, thats just how i saw it. o and by the way i liked tidus's voice especially when he yelled at auron and sin

yea, tidus just couldnt face the facts about his old man. same with steiner and brahne.
