I heard it was titdus too, must be because he's a tit.

I think I would love to hear some of the meaningful philosophical conversations you and your friend must have.

Seriously, where in God's name would a "t" come from?

There is no "i" in t-e-a-m, and there is no "tit" in T-i-d-u-s. It's meant to be pronounced Tie-duss, near as I can tell, but whatever floats your boat I reckon. Or your friends', for that matter.

That's how I always said it, but I think it's pronounced like "tee-dus" in Kingdom Hearts. (We never hear his name in FFX or FFX-2, since it's the only one the player can choose.)

My advice to the OP? Get friends who can read.

"Tee-dus" since that sounds considerably less stupid.

I tend to do what sounds better, regardless of the correct phonetics. For example, "Saa-bin" as opposed to the ugly sounding "Say-bin"

It's Tee-Dus in Kingdom Hearts, it's Tee-Dus in the American voice actor interviews, and it's Tee-Dus to me. That is all.

Tie-dus to me, tee-dus to any game I've heard it in. This is interesting actually, because a friend of mine and I used to have arguments over how to pronounce a few things from FF7. He pronounced Reeve "ruh-vee" and that never made sense to me. He also pronounced Mako "man-ko" and I dunno where he got the n from. DoC came out though, and with it stupid pronunciations for Lucrecia and Yuffie, but it settled Reeve and Mako.

As much as I like Tit-dus, I've always thought it was Tide-uss as well. Teedus doesn't have any significance where as Tide-uss links in the game's water-themes; which would've made more sense. Plus it sounds better IMO.

Why is your friend adding a "t" to Tidus for? Whenever I pronounce him (never played FFX before, but..), I always pronounce it TIE (rhymes with die)-DUS (dust without the t).

He's Tidus to me. Titdus doesn't even make sense.

How do they pronounce Lucrecia? I've never played DoC, so I've never heard it pronounced, but I've always said 'Lou-cree-sha'.

I pronounce it Loo-cree-seeya, but in DoC they prounounce the C sort of as a Caa rather than a ss.
If anyone can explain this better then please go ahead.

Btw I pronounce Tidus as Tie-dus even though in Kingdom Hearts it is Tee-Dus.

They pronounce it loo-kret-see-uh, which I find incredible stupid. I had always pronounced it Lu-kree-sha.

That has to be one your friend is pronouncing right. I always pronounced Bahamut was like I'm starting to say "Bahamas." How did you think it was pronounced?

Quad, about Yuffie in DoC, how do they pronounce it?

I keep hearing that Tee-duss is the correct pronunciation, but I have always pronounced it Tie-duss. And Bahamut sounds almost like the Bahamas to me too.

Yoo-fee, which I suppose isn't stupid, I had just always pronounced it Yuh-fee

I used to pronounce Yuffie's name as Yuh-fee, but You-Fee sounds just as close too

I pronounce:

Lucrecia=Loo-cray-cee-ah
Tidus=Tie-dus
Cecil=Ceh-cil
Mako=May-koh

and with respect to the original...

Bahamut=Bah-hah-muto...lol

Loo-cree-sha actually is the proper pronunciation. In regards to voice actors and their pronunciations, they can't all be smart like us, ha ha ha. Just look at hw they pronunce Marquis in FF XII (I've mentioned this in another thread as well), they say Mar-kwiss, where the proper pronuniation is Mar-kee.

It's always been Tie-dus for me as well, Tee-dus sounds weak. And how DO you pronounce Bahamut? I've always thought it was Bah-ha-mut.

I had heard something about Tidus being pronounced "Tee-duh" back when the game came out. Anyone remember that? I've always said "Tie-duhs" though.


Bahamut = Buh-hah-mut

Since half the posts since I last checked the forums are not about Tidus or even FFX, I'm closing this.
