"Tie-dus" or "Tee-dus"?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

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'.

we know how the japanses pronunciation for vowels is! besides there is no official way of saying it really because american pronunciation and japanese pronunciation is different.
