In it, he is a skilled seventeen year old {{ff|Blitzball}} player from {{ff|Zanarkand}}, playing for the Zanarkand Abes. During a match, a mysterious friend of his named {{ff|Auron}} appears at the same time as the arrival of a massive creature called {{ff|Sin}}. Coming into contact with Sin transports Tidus seemingly 1000 years into the future to the world of {{ff|Spira}}. He quickly finds himself embarking on a journey with the new Summoner, {{ff|Yuna}}, whose duty as a Summoner is to rid the world of Sin and bring about the Calm. Throughout the game, Tidus finds himself coming to terms with his father, Jecht, dealing with his increasing love for Yuna, and learning the implications of her pilgrimage. Tidus is an exceptional fighter with superb athletic abilities and affinity for swimming both above and under water due to his expertise in the futuristic sport, Blitzball. Tidus uses longswords, and his attacks are one-handed and quick. | ||

Tidus's name is never spoken audibly in ''Final Fantasy X'', so the correct pronunciation of his name in English has gone under debate among fans. Officially, according to ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' and an interview with Tidus's voice actor James Arnold Taylor, his name is pronounced with a hard E sound (tee-dus),<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyV5UrwROvU&feature=youtu.be&t=3m50s '''''James Arnold Taylor interview''''']</ref> which is also used in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it is pronounced with a hard I sound (tie-dus). | |||
