    Tie-dus is definately right because that is how you pronounce Tidus... all other people in history named Tidus have been pronounced Tie-dus... Tee-dus is just wierd and asian

    Well, Japan is in Asia, no?

    Yes I do think Tie makes more sense than Tee, and that's how I do pronounce it, but at least look at possible proof of what way it could be pronounced.
    If there IS a square employee here that knows this please, please settle this.
    Pretty please.

    yep well doesnt mean i cant call it Tidus and still suggest that it sounds a lot better and would have been a wiser choice as the name of the main character rather than teedus which sounds lame

    Tee-dus is the correct, but I like tie-dus better, and due to the focus on water in FF10, I'd say it fits him more than tee-dus, I normally just alternate.

    I dont see a water connection with tie-dus at all, cause whats water got to do with a tie? Tee dus is better suited to the water theory cause you need water in order to make tea.

    because tidus pronounced Tie-dus was a roman god pertaining to the sea?

    Becuase "tie-dus" sounds like "tide," but the Roman god thing works as well, even if it doesn't exist,I don't know, I don't know anything about Roman gods or anything.

    I thought it was Tie-dus until i bought the game, cause on the special disc thingy the voice actor calls him Tee-dus.

    I'm sticking with my pronunciation of "Tide-us," even if Tee-dus is correct.

    I heard the interview with his voice actor, he says Teed-us. Wakka says "Teed-us" in Kingdom Hearts. The trailor for FFX before dvd of "The Spirits Within" also says Teed-us...

    But, I still stick with Tide-us. Sounds better to my ears

    I dont care how SE says it is supposed to be pronounced it is Tie-dus. Every person witht he name Tidus pronounces it that way, you cant just say "no i dont like that i want to say it this way" you have to change the spelling to like Tedus then it would be okay. So to recap it is Tie-dus and SE cant spell end of debate.
