Sure, the general consensus is that the correct pronunciation is TEE-DUS but which do you honestly think sounds better?
TIE-DUS - Which sounds to me like a man who came in on the tide and is generally awesome or...
TEE-DUS - Which to me just sounds like it could be slang for a small penis.
What do you think?
Tiedus sounds like someone tried to pronounce tie dye but tripped and bit their tongue. Which makes it double lame because the 90s need to die already, dammit!
I think Taiduhs sounds better.
However I also think Siegfried is a cooler name than Tidus and I still won't call him Siegfried.
Where da hell did siegried come from.I dont even need to answer this pollluckily ive only heard teedus from one person.unluckily thqt person was jinx :(
after years of reading names like Tifa, Yuffie, Selphie the pronunciation of the ee for i seemed natural and made perfect sense... naturally the ee sounds better to me because it's what i'm used to from pronouncing Japanese names with an i in them that way for so long... of course when people pronounce it Tie it makes me think of the comic Christopher Titus and he's too cynical to associate with Tidus' sunny personality...
This one, this one so much. Because the game is water themed, and Sin and things.Quote:

Deaf for what? Made up fan crap that has no authority? I agree Tiedus sounds good, even I sad the "tide" thing years ago but that's it. It has no value when it comes to the truth about what the name is pronounced as. If someone just likes it better that is perfectly fine but then don't say "deaf".Quote:

It was said in Kingdom Hearts which kind of counts?
Dissidia Duodecim. Also the FFX/X-2 HD Audio Drama, not that I blame you for forgetting about that.Quote:

Yep. Dissidia got it right. Selphie in KH2 smurfed it up.Quote:

So that would mean we are all deaf who voted tie
Or just never played Dissidia.
Same how Dissidia confirms Zi-DAHN
Well actually the point of this thread is not to examine which is correct but rather which sounds better so the fact that Tee-dus is the official proper pronunciation is rather irrelevantyes you're all deaf
What did you say? I couldnt hear you.
See, I'd call him "Tie-dus", and he'd correct me and say "actually, it's Tee-dus", and I'd just look at him and say "huh. I like Tie-dus better. You're Tie-dus now". Problem solved.
I call him Tiddus.
Why call him Tee or Ti when you can call him Tiddy- Widdy ? :jess:
I thought TIE sounds better. It came to me from pronouncing Titan. Tidus (Tee-dus) is probably why the lead character cries a lot. Tie-dye.
