Yep. Tee-dus is right, and that's what I call him.
Before I knew it was that, though, I pronounced it Tie-dus. Which may or may not be cooler.

Tie-dus sounds better but I mostly call him sexy.
Or cry baby depending on my mood.
It is pronounced the one that I pick I think.

He confirmed that it was definitely "Tee-dus" because the name was connected to the sun, not the water, due to Tidus' sunny personality.
By the way, your sister is weird. Where did they say Tidus in FFX? They let you name him, for goodness' sakes, so they purposely avoid saying it. My cousins named him Bob Crap. (I have a very colorful family.) What would they do if you had a character named Bob Crap and they went and called him Tidus?
Either way, I don't think it's anything to get your knickers in a twist about.
Well...I pronounce it Tie-dus. BUT that is only because that's how I thought it was pronounced before i was proved wrong.
In Kingdom Hearts, Wakka DOES say Tee-dus. I don't remember the preview though.
TIDUS IS NEVER PRONOUNCED IN FFX OR FFX-2. It was so annoying!!! In ffx-2 they just use those stupid pronouns. "it is him?" "i think it's you-know-who!"
If you know someone who has KH then just borrow it real quick and start a new game, it's right at the beginning.
EDIT: OH MY GOD!! I MAY HAVE PROOF FOR YOU RIGHT HERE!!! Ok this is an interview with James Arnold Taylor, the guy that does the voice for Tidus. There's an audio version available for download (i can't download it so i can't say this will work) and if you read it, they say his name several times. I did a search for this and it seems to have perplexed many FF fans...
CLICKY HERE FOR THE ANSWER!!!
Tie-dus sounds way cooler than tee-dus...
every other person in history named tidus has had there name pronounced tie-dus so why should this guy be any different...
only reason the developers call it teedus is because in japanese it sounds more like that and they are really wierd...
call it tidus because it makes sense and japanese people dont...
Well it was made in Japan was it not? Like I said, I myself say Tie-dus but I believe Tee-dus is the correct way.
AND I AM NOT A GUY YOU STUPIDS!!!
They never say his name in Final Fantasy X or in X-2; they're quite clever about not saying it even when directly addressing him.
The thing about romaji is that for translating individual characters it is accurate, but when you put those characters together in English it often appears as though it should be pronounced differently. Tidus isn't even a literal romanisation of Tidus' Japanese name, though, so S-E have no excuse for giving him a name that looks like it should be pronounced Tie-dus.
they call tidus him
You sister did NOT hear it in FFX. Really, if I name him BillyBob JimJoe and they call him Tidus?
Yuna: I love you Tidus!
"Tidus": FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU RETARD, MY NAME IS BILLYBOB JIMJOE!!!
***possible spoiler***
Though there was no excuse for that in 10-2. If you look at the dialouge, I think it says Tidus (I don't remember) at the end, but they won't say it still.
Rikku: Is it him?
Yuna: I think it is!
Paine: Who the hell do you two keep talking about!!!
Definitely Tee-dus!!! listen to an interveiw with any of the voice actors!!! besides Tee-dus is much cooler!! :)
No it is not!! Tee-dus sounds really gay and it doesn't suit him!! I know that is how you say it but I always say Tie-dus anyway, it sounds much cooler!!
Please, listen to the interview in the link I posted in a previous post. They say Tidus several times and if James Arnold Taylor doesn't know, then who does?
tie-dus sounds much cooler and it sounds right.
