Tee-dus or Tie-dus?

[Xander]

I just thought I'd add, as I don't think anyone else did, that there is an interview with the voice actor of Tidus on a bonus DVD that comes with the European release of the game. And when speaking he also says "Tee-dus". Along with Wakka in Kingdom Hearts, I guess this must be how they intended Tidus to be pronounced.

However I think Tie-dus is better also because of the whole water/tide thing.
It's the same as the whole chocobo/chokeabo arguement..... Anyway people pronounce things different so maybe Tidus is just pronounced differently by different people!

hey do u think yuna will actually say his name in ffX-2?

ps. theres nothin wrong with bein gay so stop callin ppl it

[.:Lady Summoner:.]

How odd, they never said his name through the whole game? @_@

Well, I pronounce it Tie-dus. The other way is just too werid.

Ya, why give him a name when they let other people name him in the begining if they wanted to?

They should have made the game go that if you chose his name as Tidus, they actually say his name in the game... I always found it wierd that no one in the game say's Tidus if you do choose it....

[Xander]

*I* thought they should have gone even further than that and made the characters pronounce whichever name you chose. You know like one of those desktop merlin things that speak what you type.

Ok it would probably be weird and difficult for them to do but it would be cool

Do you know how much extra work that would be? Oh man, a lot... There would have to be 2 entirely different scripts, and the game would probably take a second disc too it would be so big.

They say tee-dus (the creators)

Dude, that's like to-may-to and to-mah-to. It's preference. Me? I say Tie-dus. That makes more sense anyway because swich the d to a t and it's Titus, as in Titus Andronicus, which is pronounced Tie-dus. Also, Zidane in FF9? I don't pronounce it Zi-DANE. I pronounce it the Japanese way. ZEE-dun-ay. Call me crazy, but that's just how I work.

I say it as Tie-dus, my sister says it as the same, and so does one of my friends. (Prolly the only one offline who actually plays any FFs. :P) My mother says it Tee-dus, though. Teedus sounds odd somehow, even if it is the right way of pronouncing it. xP

I think that's a really good idea.
Anyway, I say "Tie-dus". My sister follows the Kingdom Hearts people and says "Tee-dus". My sister's japanese friend says it's pronounced "Tee-duh". And everyone else in my family stays out of it. I think that if you want to call him one of the variations, go for it. They never ever said his name in the game.
Also (I know it's off topic) I couldn't figure out how to pronounce the Yan in FFIX. I called it a "Yan", my sister called it a "Yawn" and my parents told us to shut up.

I have seen the light... Preach it :mog:

I call him TIDE-us, but it's actually TEE-dus as in tedious.

Pop in the "making of FFX" DVD that comes with the game, you get to see the guy who plays his voice. He refers to him as Tee-dus.

You also get to see who played Yuna... fair to say she doesn't have the same looks

It always seemed lame that nobody ever said his name, instead only saying "hey, newbie!", "you", "our newest guardian" etc. Especially in her (SPOILER)"As summoner, I'll soon be dead and here's my personal goodbye to all of you"-type sphere recording. She's like "Kimare: you're so strong blah-de-blah. Rikku: Good friend etc. Lulu: Blah-de-blah. Auron: Blah blah. Wakka: etc etc. And finally... our latest guardian:...." - arrrgh! Learn his name already!

I didn't get a "Making Of..." disc. And I got the game right when it came out. Am I missing something?

[Cloudane]

Seems it was a bonus DVD in the European release only - sorry!

Shame, it's a cool DVD really. Nothing ground-breaking, but it's nice to see (interviews from) the people behind Tidus and Yuna, and some neat artwork.

Shame we didn't see DiMaggio aka. Wakka/Kimahri/Bender of Futurama.

Sorry if I repeated a couple of things in previous post, I didn't see the link to the second page of this thread. (Seems to be missing from the bottom of the thread, or I'm blind as usual)
