Tidus has been given many nicknames since his appearance in Final Fantasy X, with "Tee-dus" and Meg Ryan being two of the most popular. Unfortunately for him, those who make fun of him have damned good reasons to do so through the first 65% of the game. The main idea behind Tidus's character is that he is human. He acts in a way that many of us would assimilate if we were thrown into the same situation as him. While this has some merit to it, people don;t usually play video games for a cathartic cleansing of the emotions. They play video games to live in a fantasy world, to see characters act in ways that we as real people would never think to act like in real life, and above all, to have fun. How much fun can you have watching the main character of an RPG act like an annoying little broth

How much fun can you have watching the main character of an RPG act like an annoying little brother for over half the game? Tidus does redeem himself in the second half of the game, however. Once he learns the true nature of Yuna's pilgrimage, he grows up before our very eyes, and becomes a real man by the end of the game. Such character development is rarely seen in today's RPGs, but unfortunately, a lot of people give up on Tidus before they realize that he is maturing. Aside from Tidus's main role in the story, he has a background in Blitzball, which is the most popular sport in the world of FFX. He is the son of the biggest star to ever play the game, Jecht. Jecht is a hero to the people, but underneath his superstar status lies a drunk who mentally abused Tidus for most of his life. Tidus never truly gets past this, which explains why he acts the way he does for a majority of the story. But Tidus is a character who I feel gets unfairly stereotyped simply because he isn't the "typical" RPG lead character. Unlike Cloud and Squall, Tidus shows his emotions, acts like an actual human being, and matures as he gains more experience in life. It's a shame that so many would choose to make fun of him instead of understanding the way he is. "Listen to my story. This may be our last chance." - Tidus
