Ok I'm calling it. This Tidus is a fake, and the real Tidus is sin!
"Blitzball?" Really, he sees a ball and shouts "Blitzball!" runs up, and hits the thing, like a little kid? I can't even imagine FFX doing that, and he was in love with Blitzballs back then.
"Yuna, I had a vision of my own death. I'm...... going to kick a blitzball, but it isn't actually a blitzball, it's a bomb. I'll be decapitated Yuna, and this vision really scares me, you know?"
"Are you fucking serious?"
"What?! No no no I'm messing with ya Yunie! you gotta lighten up, you can't beat Sin with a frown on your face!"
"Oh! Thank Yevon you were joking!"
He actually did this on the Mi'ihen Highroad in X.
What is going on in this thread? Someone cook a synopsis up please.
From what I remember, he just runs up and kicks, he doesn't shout blitzball.I don't remember. I CAN imagine him kicking a ball if he runs into one, I know that. But him shouting BLITZBALL like a little kid seems a bit of a stretch.
LOL.
This is a glorious trainwreck. I think I found some scans of the novel pages. Tidus' uh...unfortunate fate 2 days after being revived by Yuna?
The reviewer's weren't kidding about the gore. Tidus sees a ball roughly the size of a blitz ball, and comes to the conclusion that that's what it exactly is. So he proceeds to run and kick it... explodes. It was a bomb. Yuna gets thrown back by the explosion.... along with Tidus' head which promptly lands by Yuna with his expression frozen with surprise. She promptly passes out.
Yuna resurrects him using pyreflies, however it seems that if Tidus realizes what he is, he'll disappear (whether that means off to the Farplane, or from existence I'm not sure). It seems overall this explaination wasn't explained too well so it could be off the mark. This could explain though why she's seeming cold towards him in the audio drama.
I kinda want X-3 now just to see how far Square will go in their insanity.
A lot of the Japanese readers seem more upset that it was such an opposite tone to what the perfect ending in X-2 was, and the aformentioned gore and sexuality present.
Sadly, this all makes a lot of sense if any of you remember the perfect ending of X-2. Not the good ending, the 100% perfect ending. It's really somber and drops a lot of hits about Tidus and Yuna's future relationship.

Care to refresh my memory?
Oh, if you've read I would love more translations. Please
I'm honestly struggling to remember the last time Square has done anything that made me happy.
I for one look forward to X-3

It explains methods, sure, but the tone is still completely different.
Care to refresh my memory?
I like him too.
I do think it's hilarious that's howhe dies. It's just so fucking stupid you have to laugh
Even worse is the sexual stuff.He apparently can't fight because he finds Yuna too sexy.
Oh, Nojima.
Here is what they wrote:
There's a lot of comments about how much they feel bad for Tidus, and that Yuna acts really cold towards him. There's a few saying they hate Yuna in the novel. There's apparently a lot of sexual stuff in it. There's a scan of one page in which Tidus tells Yuna if they get into battle he might lose his fighting spirit because he's distracted by how sexy she is. And apparently Tidus gets his head blown off by a bomb and dies (and only 2 days after getting resurrected), but he comes back to life again because he's made of Pyreflies, and Yuna has control over him.
Sounds interesting to me these are the kind of hard hitting issues that FF has always been afraid to tackle.
This is a bold new direction and one I am glad they took.I for one applaud the story telling here.
not from Square Enix you shouldn't

Shouldn't have come back at all, so now we get to see him die in hilarious ways.
That scene is only there to remind readers that Tidus isn't exactly a real person.
Man, that just reminds me of how much I love the X-2 soundtrack. There is a lot of uncertainty for sure. They don't know why he came back or how long it will last.....can't they just be happy?
Doesn't make it not stupid.
Not that there's anything wrong with that,it's hilarious.
Tidus explains to Yuna that he was recreated by the Fayths and so he's still is a dream, implying that he might disappear someday. However, he says everything will be alright if they take care of each other. Yuna hugs him and asks if that's what the Fayth told him. He responds saying that he came up with that idea himself. Yuna then pushes Tidus into the water. Tidus reiterates that they have to take care of each other. Yuna tells him that he won't disappear. Camera fades to black.
This summary doesn't do it justice, the scene itself is just sad and you can tell something is wrong. I recommend you watch the video on youtube to get a real understanding of it.
Now as a fan, in the wise words of Lulu, "I can only speculate."
My take on it is that Yuna is clearly suffering from depression with the fact that Tidus may just disappear on her at anytime without warning. Her feelings are clearly conflicted, she just can't be happy.
My direct theory: Yuna is upset because she knows the dead are returning to Spira. Yuna is conflicted because she loves Tidus, but knows that eventually the evil will be brought back to Spira as well, most likely Sin will return. Sin has taken the form of numerous summoner's guardians. In theory, all someone would have to do is not necessarily wish back Sin, but wish back a previous guardian and in theory their last living form was sin.
Remember in the audio drama Yuna is praying to the fayth everyday. A. She is depressed and is focused on praying to the fayth that they keep Tidus alive everyday. B. She is talking to the fayth and understands that sin will soon be coming back.
Not all questions need answers.
Read books sometime.
This doesn't jive with his new design.Also note that Tidus hasn't aged and Yuna has. A lot of people are missing this.
You completely went over my point though.This. People make fun of the audio drama and the Novel because they don't remember these things. Reading this stuff without replaying the two games make it seem stupid. However, there are so many unanswered questions. The real ending for X and X-2 are just both really depressing.

Yeah, your reasoning at the end could bring something itneresting.
Sadly, SE is going to make the game/other media, so...
As bittersweet X and X-2 games are, it isn't really comparable with this.
I'm hopefully optimistic. As a true fan of the X series, not all is lost.
You completely went over my point though.
The tone is still completely different to the novel. As I said before, it explains methods of how Tidus is probably still alive. However, we've gone from a touching talk at the end of X-2 which very much matched the tone of the first game, into a novel where we've got flirty comments leading to Tidus' head being blown off by a bomb.
This doesn't jive with his new design.
I mean his hair is longer.That's after-bomb. Or A.B. period.
Meh, I'm also a fan of X, but they really should have left the game as is.
