"Tie-dus" or "Tee-dus"?

agreed.

look amercan people=tie-dus

asian people=tee-dus

end of discussion... lol

Tee-dus sounds stupid, so I pronouce it Tie-dus

The reason Tee-dus is pronounced as such is becuase we don't have that "I" sound in our alphabet.

Therefore it doesn't sound silly.

if you dont have an I sound how do you pronounce vaprice?

Tee-dus according to this promotional video (I believe it is official)

Yeah we all know that SE officially pronounces it as Tee-dus but what most of us are saying is that they pronounce it wrong. It was Tee-dus in Japanese but then when it went to be translated they made it Tidus which is actually supposed to be pronouced Tie-dus.

So to recap it is Tie-dus and SE cant spell end of debate.

Soo... you're saying it could be Ted-us?

It's Tee-dus. SE is NOT pronouncing it wrong. Why? The Japanese alphabet vowel sounds are identical to Spanish vowel sounds.
a- ah
e- eh
i- ee
o-oh
u- oo

So, the following things are true:
Kimahri- Kee-mah-ree
Rikku, Yuna, Lulu and Wakka are phonetical.
AND Tidus- Tee-dus

His name doesn't break any rules of English with this pronunciation. Consider the words 'Yahoo', 'Select' and 'Kiwi'. In the words, we find a consonant surrounded by two vowels. BUT, the first vowel does NOT use its long sound.

For the name to be pronounced 'Tie-dus', it would have to be spelled 'Tydus' or 'Taidus'. But 'Tidus' is clearly pronounced as if it were spelled 'Teedus'.

Not to mention the Roman name Titus is also pronounced Tee-Tus.
