    The reason Tee-dus is pronounced as such is becuase we don't have that "I" sound in our alphabet.

    Therefore it doesn't sound silly.

    Yeah we all know that SE officially pronounces it as Tee-dus but what most of us are saying is that they pronounce it wrong. It was Tee-dus in Japanese but then when it went to be translated they made it Tidus which is actually supposed to be pronouced Tie-dus.

So to recap it is Tie-dus and SE cant spell end of debate.


    Soo... you're saying it could be Ted-us?

    Default Tee-dus

    It's Tee-dus. SE is NOT pronouncing it wrong. Why? The Japanese alphabet vowel sounds are identical to Spanish vowel sounds.
    a- ah
    e- eh
    i- ee
    o-oh
    u- oo

    So, the following things are true:
    Kimahri- Kee-mah-ree
    Rikku, Yuna, Lulu and Wakka are phonetical.
    AND Tidus- Tee-dus

    His name doesn't break any rules of English with this pronunciation. Consider the words 'Yahoo', 'Select' and 'Kiwi'. In the words, we find a consonant surrounded by two vowels. BUT, the first vowel does NOT use its long sound.

    For the name to be pronounced 'Tie-dus', it would have to be spelled 'Tydus' or 'Taidus'. But 'Tidus' is clearly pronounced as if it were spelled 'Teedus'.

    Not to mention the Roman name Titus is also pronounced Tee-Tus.
