Tidus | Tidus is a short, thin boy with tan skin, blue eyes, and sandy hair parted down the center. He wears a small, white-lined yellow shirt with short white sleeves and yellow hems; he wears his shirt open, exposing his chest. Tidus's unique, navy pants have uneven legs, with his right pant leg reaching just past his knee, and his left reaching to just about mid-thigh (this is reversed in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', with his left pant leg being longer). A zipper circles the longer pant leg at a point even with the hem of the shorter pant leg. The left leg has a diagonal zipper on it, presumably a pocket, and he wears a black fanny pack with the pouch facing forward, showing another diagonal zipper. He also wears yellow and black sandals, and carries a red wooden pole which he uses as a practice weapon. | ||
For an unknown reason, Tidus has a small scar on his right cheek that was not present in his original game. | |||

On Destiny Islands, Tidus practices fighting skills with Sora using a wooden stick as a practice sword and fighting with swift movements and dodges. During this battle, he fights by stringing together combination attacks. If Sora manages to block one of his sword attacks, 2 Tech Points are earned per block. After defeating Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka as individuals, Sora is able to fight against them all at the same time. | |||

Tidus is the initial protagonist of ''Final Fantasy X'', released in 2001 and the first ''Final Fantasy'' game to be released on the PlayStation 2. | Tidus is the initial protagonist of ''Final Fantasy X'', released in 2001 and the first ''Final Fantasy'' game to be released on the PlayStation 2. In it, he is a skilled seventeen year old Blitzball player from [[finalfantasy:Zanarkand|Zanarkand]], playing for the Zanarkand Abes. During a match, a mysterious man named [[finalfantasy:Auron|Auron]] appears heralding the arrival of a massive creature called [[finalfantasy:Sin|Sin]]. Coming into contact with Sin transports Tidus 1000 years into the future to the world of [[finalfantasy:Spira|Spira]]. He quickly finds himself embarking on a journey with the new Summoner, [[finalfantasy:Yuna|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. | ||

*Unlike the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', which pronounced his name with a hard E sound (tee-dus), when Selphie mentions him in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she says his name with a hard I sound instead (tie-dus). It should be noted, however, that the katakana of his name, though romanized as Tidus even in the Japanese versions of Tidus's appearances, is read as (tii-da) (ティーダ ''Tīda''), and is derived from the Okinawan word for "sun". As the Japanese "ィ" is pronounced like the English "E", it would suggest that the ''Kingdom Hearts'' pronunciation (tee-dus) would be closer to the Japanese equivalent. Additionally, ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' and interviews with Tidus's voice actor confirm it as "Tee-dus", indicating that this may have been an error. | *Unlike the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', which pronounced his name with a hard E sound (tee-dus), when Selphie mentions him in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she says his name with a hard I sound instead (tie-dus).

*If Sora declines to fight Tidus on the second day in Destiny Islands, he may remark that he and Wakka are working on some type of underwater ball game. This, along with Selphie's comment in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are a reference to [[finalfantasy:Blitzball|Blitzball]], the sport played by Tidus and Wakka in ''Final Fantasy X''. | |||
*If Sora loses a practice battle with Tidus on the second day in the Destiny Islands, Tidus performs his victory pose from ''Final Fantasy X''.<!--namely, tossing his sword upward then catching it before swinging it to his side.--> | |||
