    One thing I don't get about Tidus - small possible spoiler?

    Well I always thought Tidus could breathe underwater..along with the other residents of Spira, I mean he can play a Blitzball match for 5/10 minutes or however long it is!

    So..I thought it strange when I noticed that just before the moment with him and Yuna in the lake at Macalania Woods, he takes a breath and holds it before diving underwater and then coming up again.

    So...what's going on? Did Square make a mistake? Or can he not breathe underwater? Or did anyone else notice this at all even?

    On the very beginning, when you reach Besaid, if you talk to the Aurochs practicing on the beach, one of them will say that Wakka can hold his breath much longer then the others because he's been practicing more then them (can't remember exactly). I always thougth it was wierd that the blitzers could stand 10 minutes without breathing, but i guess it's all in the training

    That's probably the only more detailed thing i noticed

    I think the Al Bhed race is just used to going underwater, so Rikku has probably had plenty of practice.

    Yeah, I think it's Datto or Jassu that says it too. Rikku can because of her experience in salvaging underwater treasure as an Al Bhed.

    It's just from training.

    OR

    Not to rain on ur parade here or anything guys, but it could be the fact it that it is just video game. And they aren't by law required to follow the laws of physics, nature, thermodynamics, kinetics, or whatever else. Agian i mean not to rain on ur fun.

    arcdragon9: I see your point, but since there was an explanation to this in the game as well, we'll concentrate on that for now

    Thanks for the replies..I think the reason I thought he could actually BREATHE underwater is a magazine article on FFX,
    "While FFX characters look human, they all seem to be able to breathe underwater for hours on end"

    It just seemed weird for him to actually take a breath when he was only swimming under the water for a couple of seconds in the lake! But I'm just picky...
    And yeah it is just a video game but we could give that answer to most topics in this forum but wouldn't it be boring

    Only read if you've beaten FFX: (SPOILER)In the expanded ending to FFX ("Another Story") Yuna says she's been practacing holding her breath and can hold it for like 2 minutes now. Or maybe that was in the regular ending... I don't remember. Just thought I'd throw that in though.

    The Extended ending is only on FFX international version. I heard a theory that in the blitzball stadium you could breathe in the water, because of magic or smething. The reason they can hold their breath outside of the stadium is because they have to hold their breath during practice sessions and stuff.

    Rikku has a breathing device in the beginning of the game.
    As my Grandmother Annatree used to say "It's not really a trip unless you go somewhere...or fall down"
