It is very explicable and has been explained over and over again i agree! the explanation is 'they felt like it' but if you go further to ask why they felt like it- that's the inexplicable part! reasons why it might be tie dus if we were inventing the game from scratch: 1) the real name Titus is pronounced Tie tus 2) Tidus literally washes up on the shore with the tide, pronounced tie d 2a) Tidus' trademark weapon looks like the ocean reasons why it might be tee dus if we were inventing the game from scratch: --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

v_charon 08/23/20 3:56:25 PM #31:	Yeah, I didn't like it much at first but I almost exclusively use the proper pronunciation of his name now. It's easy to see why most English native speakers would assume it was Tie-dus though, mostly of the reasons outlined. The thing about his name is that at least they are getting the correct sound out of it; there are other character in the series where they do change how a name is spoken and it actually does seem to be wrong. This is unfortunately not one of those times; I still wish it was the way I started out pronouncing it but I've gotten used to Teedus now. --- :> Truly smilin' <cite>v_charon posted [p:943729851] in How is Jec...
