I realize the official pronunciation is Tee-dus, but at least Cecil pronounced as Sess-ill is actually a real name.

I've called a lot of FF characters by the wrong pronunciation but eventually came around. I actually really hated when Aeris went to Aerith and really resisted that one, but even that one I now use the official pronunciation.

I've gotten used to it over the years though I still tend to go back and forth. Zidane however, is and and will always be pronounced as Zye-dain. Zih-dawn is the fucking worst pronunciation ever and I refuse to acknowledge it.

I originally assumed it was pronounced vaguely like the real world Roman name "Titus"

But I don't care much, and the official pronunciation sounds funny so I'll roll with it

Aerith sounds dumb though, and it has to be zi-day-n, right?

there's probably someone out there pissed off at the pronunciation of zack fair

that only works if you already knew how it was spelled in Japanese, though. without knowing that, it could have just as easily been ta-i-da-su in Japanese and thus pronounced Tie-dus.

it's a relic from FF games letting you re-name the characters. FFX lets you rename Tidus and only Tidus, and the other characters never say it.

I had no idea the real zidane name was pronounced that way, have only ever read it

Zi- Dane zin-e- Dane (as in great Danes) seemed logical, but it's one of those words that belie when you're book smart without being worldly

I remember, there was a trailer that had a narrator pronouncing it as Tee-dus, so its pronounciation was known before the game ever came out (in North America). Just looked and found it:

https://youtu.be/ENLRaE-4IYE?t=37

Though it was already ingrained in my head, "Tide", Tide-us. No getting around that.

huh, i never knew his original name was "tida" and that "tidus" was an invention by the translators. i always assumed they just left the name unchanged from the original version.

had i known that, i probably would have gone with "tye-dus" from the start!

This is exactly why his name was pronounced this way in English. The narrator chose that pronunciation and they rolled with it.

No, he's called tee-dus in KH1, but Selphie calls him tye-dus in KH2.
