Well let me be frank about that. I thought pretty much all the characters were shallow in VI except maybe Cyan for obvious reasons. All I can remember about Terra was that she was a lost little puppy until she has her spaz out "I'm a monster" moments. I really thought Terra was much more annoying than Tidus and I couldn't fathom how people can cling to a character like her.

And the catastrophe. You want to talk about a turn of the switch character moment that you're so opposed to. This is like the epitome of it in the FF series.

But that's to each his own, I guess. Didn't mean to get so into it about FFVI as this is a Tidus thread. But if you don't like him, that's to each his own. I guess I felt a sort of attachment to Tidus that I didn't to Terra, or most of the FFVI party (save Cyan).
