I think I figured out Tidus' last name. In the beggining of the game right after you give your autographs to the fans. That narrative comes up, it doesn't sound like Tidus, but what he says is definetly describing Tidus. 3/4 of the way into the narrative he says "I say to myself Zanar. what in the world were you thinking" or something like that Is that Tidus?
No, the narrator is Zanar. I think, judging by the last part of his speech, he's a blitzball commentator.
Zanar is a blitzball commenter, as Endless stated. He was simply reminiscing over Jecht to give the player a little bit of information concerning the tie-in there is between Tidus and Jecht.
Another cue is that Zanar's voice and Tidus' are not one and the same.
I always thought Tidus ast name was Jecht?
Jecht is the name of Tidus' father.
I know but I just thought that that is also his lastname.:)
jecht could be a last name or a fake name for all we know!
I like that Tidus Jecht it sounds good.
Itd e funny if it was like johnson or sumthin
I wonder what is his real last name.
Probably Andronicus.
Tidus Thompson.
Probably something to do with water which would be ironic
Tidus Watername.
His full name is Tidus Tidem Tideverybody.
Seymour Guado, Kimahri Ronso...Tidus Human? Or (SPOILER)Tidus Dream if you want to be pedantic about it.
I am not being nasty or anything but that's not irony.Quote:

I doubt he'd be Tidus Human or (SPOILER)Tidus Dream; the whole Ronso/Guado thing just dates back to when they were enslaved by the once-fascist humans and had to be called that so everyone could keep 'em in check.
They continue to use these surnames so as they never forget their past mistakes. Hey, it was a good enough excuse for New Yevon!
Tidus Tidus Tidus. His confirmation name is Anthony.
Tee-dus Ty-dus!

It's more confusing in XII. Vaan's surname (Ratsbane) is merely made up. Only Basch (fon Ronsenburg) and Ashe (Full name: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca) have surnames while Penelo, Fran and Balthier (Balflear in the Japanese version) have none.
Sorry if this has gotten kinda OT.
Actually Balthier has one. He says it when they are in Phon Coast.Quote:

they dont have last names but KingdomHeartsKing might be on to somthing:pinkelephant:
Yeah, I'm a beast.
LOGICALLY since he is a dream he doesn't supposed to has a last name
he is Tidus son of Jecht - never more.
Put a damn spoiler tag on that son!!
Even non-dream characters weren't given any surnames. Unless you include the Ronso and Guado races.Quote:

I remember his full name being announced years and years ago when FFX was still in development and he was still known as Tida and/or Titus.
Andronicus. No.
Tidus Whiner? :laugh:
How 'bout Tidus Smith, lol.
Erm...are you sure? Titus Andronicus is the name of a Shakespeare play.Quote:

Who knew, Tidus is a Jetson !
http://content.answers.com/main/cont...px-Jetsons.jpg
lol wow, he is a jetson
he is simply Tidus of Zanarkand. or something like that. I bet Auron knows. he knows everything.
Tidus Jecht that what it is!:):)
It's sad that they never call him by his name in the game :(
I wonder why they don't...
Mr. Tidus Smith sounds alright.
That's because you can change the name of your character. It'd be stupid if you called him Jimmy and everybody refered to him as Tidus.Quote:

Wakka nt we just pretend it's not for a moment?
Auron t you finding it atleast abit funny?
Yuna you want to laugh
these would go great in knock knock jokes
cripes. I had a surfer buddy (yeah, he lived in Minnesota and thought he was a surfer) named Tavis Johnson, we called Tidus Tavis because of the remarkable resemblence. So funny you should mention that.Quote:

Which is funny, cause the hebrew name has a long I sound.Quote:

It did grate on me when he pronounced it like that. TIDE-us makes a lot more sense, given all the watery theme and that. I have a feeling he didn't know what pronunciation to use himself, if he's anything like the VA's for Advent Children who openly admitted that had absolutely no interest in what they were doing and were just there to make a living, end of.
Me too. Frankly a whiny bitch :)Quote:

Tidus' name comes from the Okinawan word Tiida, meaning sun. Hence the pronounciation.Quote:

Tidus Tiduson. So obvious :rolleyes2
Tidus Nt'tasteverynice
Tidus Boleyn
Tidus Rockwell the III ? hmm I tried ya know

I can think of something else, but it's a little rude :rolleyes2
Tidus Tiduo Tidut Tidumus Tidutis Tidunt
Hope I got that right...
Someone already said my Andronicus thing, so i'll just say his name is Tidus Robinson.
Tidus von boobyface :)
It would be nice to know though....
I thought he was saying "Zanar" as in short for "Zanarkand".
I always thought his last name was Zanarkand.
Braska Spira, Yuna Spira, Tidus Zanarkand.
Tidus Jechtson.
That's where we got names like Johnson and Ericson after all.
Just like Yuna's last name is Braskadaughter, right?
It could be Abes because of the Zanarkand Abes maybe ?
Tidus Abes ?
Jecht Abes ?
Kimahri's last name is Ronso, and Seymour's last name is Guado.
So OBVIOUSLY
It is Tidus Human, Yuna Human, Rikku Al Bhed
Knowing nowadays that it's pronounced "Teedus", I can only say his surname must be Golfball.
Tidus Golfball and maybe you will hit da hole in one!
Actually, typically, females got the names of their mother, not the father. And those names tended to be traded away for the family name of their husband, so they are very rare these days. But we don't ever find out the name of Yuna's mother, as far as I can remember.Quote:

No one said his name because you can rename him in-game, and we don't yet have nearly good enough text-to-speech to make that work. And they certainly weren't going to have Yuna's VA record fifty thousand different names. And even if they did, some names are spelled identically, but pronounced differently, so they'd still miss tons.Quote:

Depends on the region, but no. Matronymic last names were usually unusual in patriarchal societies (which a lot of them were). People commonly used them as backups if the father was unknown, or died before the child was born. Sometimes, a matronym would be used if a mother was of a significant standing. Like if a really rich woman married some unknown guy for whatever reason.Quote:
