I REFUSE TO CALL HIM TEE-DUS 😤 Nah I appreciate everyone clearing that up for me, but they missed a golden opportunity to call him TIDE-us! Thematically it was right there for them…
I played FFX like 6 times and currently streaming a playthrough on twitch. There is so much bonus content like the monster arena and super bosses hidden throughout spira once u get the airship.
@@sashikiru5250 I really enjoyed the Celestial Weapons side quests even though they’re so time consuming, it helps your party grind up more levels. I ended up getting Caladbolg, Nirvana, and Masamune which made the final bosses much easier!
@@MacklinGaming Ah yes, the weapon for Lulu was very time consuming (Onion Knight) as it required you to do 200 lightning jumps in a row to fully upgrade it so I don't blame you for not getting them all 😂😂 But if I were to recommend a FF to try out, it be Final Fantasy Tactics
I knew a kid named Tidus in school, might've been Titus never saw his name written, but it was pronounced Tide us, and upon hearing about teedus he said "thats stupid.". Shits a core memory for whatever reason
I can't shake the feeling that exams quickly followed the plot of FFVIII. Imagine taking down a sorceress from the future, THEN having final exams. Haha
Honestly, I think how the characters referred to Tidus, without even directly calling him by his name is a product of even the devs not even agreeing on how to pronounce his name. Also, the FFX-2 Sisterhood was just something else. I completed Last Mission recently, and the montage of both games was such a tear jerker.
Square isn’t pronouncing it wrong. It is Tee-dus. The name is derived from the okinawan word "Tida“ which means "Sun“. Square gave Yuna her name because they claimed it‘s the okinawan word for "moon“. That turned out to be not true. The correct word for "Moon“ is "tsuki“. So yeah, that’s some background. :]
@@bronsoncarder2491 yeah from an English speaking perspective.. Don't forget this is a Japanese game, tidus and tide being so similar might be a coincidence
@@ridleyrage5283 Yeah, Tide-us would make a lot of sense. But the devs being Japanese probably means they didn't even notice how fitting it'd be for the name to be spoken that way.
You're getting the benefit of the original graphics, too - the remaster messed around with the eyes. I love FFX - not my personal favourite but it's definitely up there. Really glad you enjoyed it. Hate to break it to you but 'Tee-dus' is the official pronunciation...
It's interesting you brought up how facial animations can look stiff in the original ps2 version. They're even worse in the HD remaster. Apparently they had to recreate the faces from the ground up and they completely botched it. There are so many subtle expressions Tidus would make in the original that are just lost in the HD remaster. His face literally doesn't move as well in the newer version. Playing the original ps2 version running on an emulator at 4k resolution is the definitive way to play in 2024 imo
They have a remaster of final fantasy 10 on the PS4 and Final Fantasy 8 is really good imo and they have a remaster for that as well. I think it's on the PlayStation store now.
The Aesthetic theme of FF10 is based on Okinawa... the colors, the setting, the costumes, everything is based on Okinawan culture, and Tide-es is his name, I don't care what anyone else thinks, Tidus is Tide-es.
I played this a little bit from borrowing it from a friend and all I can remember is it feeling so linear that all you do is battle to get to the next cut scene.
X is and will forever be great, its one of the most non-divisive FF titles. Back in my day, I had a PS2 legendary 5500+ hour file with everyone's Celestial weapons with Crests and Sigils, FOUR sets of ultimate armors for everyone and, I held the world record for 551 lightning bolts dodged in a row without the crater trick. FFX is so good. Its relatable while remaining fantasy, the characters are well developed and have deep, meaningful arcs, the world of Spira is interesting, the battle system's some of the best it had ever been, this is one where if you had to point out the flaws, besides the side-quests for some of the Celestial weapon sigils, you'd kinda be hard-pressed to find. I'm bias to FFX and proud of it, I love FFX!
I always suggest 9 to non-rpg players, it will leave a grand feeling of happiness by the end. 10 is what I suggest to those who like heartache and sadness.
@@Not.Giuseppe9 is a bit slow and grindy for most non rpg players in my opinion, I would flip them. 10 for new players, 9 if you want something serious but also fun and light hearted [like old SNES final fantasy, at least 4 and 6] with traditional, simple jrpg gameplay Not that I dislike 9, complete opposite actually. It's just very slow. The actual gameplay is slow, it's slightly more difficult than 7-8-10, it's got a ton of small, incredibly hard to do and pointless sidequests if you're into that, idk I just think 10 Is more modern and easier for a gamer not used to RPGs to enjoy.
@@AceManning18Are you kidding? There's nothing more thrilling than waiting 30s for the battle screen to load aside from the tension of entering into a boss fight where you are going to spend the next 10-30 mins keeping the party alive while not attacking so you can cycle through attempt after attempt to steal. Plus the character development is just magical, from Freya constantly pining for Sir Fratley only to finally meet him where he tells her "New phone, who did?" to Amarant grumbling about kids to Steiner repeatedly telling the player that he feels conflicted only to immediately ignore the conflict, all the way to Garnet spending half of the game mute which creates such a rich environment for character development.
@@Not.Giuseppe I never gave the ps2 version a chance. When the HD remaster came with the cut japanese content, that was it. The japanese version on the switch comes with everything on the cartridge.
Tee-dus is correct, not ty-dus. It only sounds worse in english. In the majority of european and asian languages "Tee-dus" sounds much more natural than "Tide-us / Ty-dus"
Looks like everyone showed up to comment on the Tee-dus/Tie-dus controversy. Tee-dus does sound stupider, but it is what it is. Anyway, it's a good game. I played it on PS2 and got the platinum on the PS4 remaster, so I appreciate the story. But, it was never my favorite. FF8 was my favorite for a long time before playing 13. I'm a rebel now who loves 13.
My least favorite game after 15. X for me was always a set of unlikable characters, bad dialogue, bad pacing, horrible voice acting even for the time, and a stupid plot.
