It is pronounced "Tee-dus" as in the word "Tea".
It is pronounced "Tie-dus"/"Ty-dus" as in the word "Tie".
ppl say teedus because that is the pronunciation of it in japanese, but there is tiedus also which is the american pronunciation for it. you can say it either way. it doesn't matter.
Kawaii, how can that be the official one if thousand or possibly even millions of ppl say tiedus? u have no basis for teedus being the american pronunciation while i do since our pronunciation follows many rules that change the sound of a letter for a particular reason.
I know that the American voice actors all say Tee-dus, but hearing that name is worse than nails on a black board.
How long has it been raining?
...Forever.
Again (again), the Japanese pronounciation is tee-da.Originally Posted by Heero Yuy NWZC
All right, I see where you're coming from now. You don't understand what official means. The official pronounciation is whatever Square Enix says it is, not what a bunch of people think it is. And Square Enix has made it abundantly clear that the official American pronounciation is tee-dus--in Kingdom Hearts as well as in the FFX trailer included on the Spirits Within DVD. The English voice actors have also pronounced it tee-dus in interviews, and where do you suppose they learned that? From their bosses at Square Enix, man.Kawaii, how can that be the official one if thousand or possibly even millions of ppl say tiedus? u have no basis for teedus being the american pronunciation while i do since our pronunciation follows many rules that change the sound of a letter for a particular reason.
no, Kawaii. it isn't. if that was the official way of saying it then ppl wouldn't be saying it any other way. u just don't see it. and u say their bosses from Square Enix make them say tee-dus when u also say that the japanese pronunciation is tee-da. u are contradicting urself.
They're the English-language voice actors. They hence use Square Enix's official English-language pronounciation, which, as I continue to laboriously attempt to explain to you, is tee-dus.This is entirely false. People have always been ignoring official pronounciations in favor of pronounciations that, however incorrect, are more intuitive to them. What's official is a matter of edict, not of public opinion or preference.
This Internet argument is dedicated to Ashley Mugley Jones.
u know, obviously u have no intention of ending this so i will be the better man here(j/k) and walk away from this completely hopeless arguement.

I say Tee-dus, becuase it sounds better in my oppinion!
Holy Christ I love you Kishi.
Anyway, I will add to the rhetoric and say Tee-dus, despite the fact that it'll be ignored by those with their fingers in their ears (or in this case, in their eyes) will still insisted on it being Tie-dus, despite Square-Enix saying differently.
I originally pronounced it Tie-dus, and I figured it had something to do with a watery game theme (Tide), but Kingdom Hearts came along and dashed that little theory.
Though I will gladly add, for Heero's sake, that I can pronounce my name as Moog-ley as a THOUSAND other people do when they call my house, but that's not how the name is correctly pronounced. Even if everyone else in the world pronounces it as such, it's Mug-ley, because that's how the creator of the monstorous surname intended it to be said.
Yep.
Tie-dus sounds better, so I don't care that it's "Teedus". It'll always be Tie-dus for me.
You're fine, so long as you arent trying to insist that Tie-dus is correct.
And trust me baby, you're fine. *wink*
*comes back briefly to add something*
i didn't say that tie-dus was the absolutely one way of saying it. if you see all my posts in this thread i say multiple times that it doesn't matter and you can say it which ever way you want.
*leaves again*
Tea-Dus is absolutely queer.
Tie-Dus is more manly...and Tidus really needs it.
Tee-dus sounds better, tiedus sounds dumb
and Vicent's the one who needs more manly-ism in him, just look at his girly long hair and those shoes
It really doesn't matter, people say it differently. I just want to know where people got tee-dus from? It isn't the true pronunciation of the name first of all, it doesn't sound right, and there is no such name. Tidus is an actual name; and tie-dus is the true pronunciation.
LIKE I SAID THOUGH...I really don't care I just want to know why people started saying that. I mean I also stated before, I say Tie-Dus and then I gave the game to my friends' kid brother and asked him if he knew about the ending he said "Probably Tee-dus and Yuna hook up" (besides laughing at him because he didn't know, I was curious at why he said it that way)
My eggy
As everyone has said over and over, Tee-dus comes from Kingdom Hearts. Given that's an official pronuncition, that is the TRUE pronunciation.
Like I said before, I originally said Tie-dus as well, as it makes sense. However, when the makers of the game say it one way, then that is the correct way, that's the way it's intended to be said.
I've never heard of anyone actually named Tie-dus, and I'm pretty sure it isnt a real name at all, though I cant be sure.
