Is Tidus just a dream/dead or something?

[Shiny]

also "is it you, or just someone who looks like you" doesnt say they are twin looking, just look similar. she immediately knew a difference in the second sphere as well, she just didnt want to admit it.

That's what I was getting at when I said resemblance. Resemblance = similar. However there are some very slight differences with his face if you want to get technical. Though this would prove the reincarnation thing further. According to metaphysics, when the human being dies (in this case Shuyin) another (in this case Tidus) is reborn in a different body.

Since the The Fayth wanted to keep the dream of the past Zanarkand alive, they chose to recapture the essence of Shuyin. In reincarnation the person does not have to be completely the same. In this case, Tidus' behavior is nothing like Shuyins'. This can be easily explained by the fact that they have shared different experiences.

sorry, just like the above poster, I just didnt get that vibe of reincarnation or "family ancestor" from x-2. just happenstance to look alike.

If you're going simply by FFX's storyline like many people, than the reincarnation thing is irrelevant, however it is very much apparent in FFX-2. I personally do not believe in reincarnation in the real world, but in the land of fictional games I don't see why it can't exist. :freak:
