    I was totally debating this when I heard Wakka say Tee-dus in KH1. I thought it was pronounced Ti-Dus and I swear Lulu says it like that in Final Fantasy X somewhere... Tai-Dus does sound better though.

    Dissida actually has it said by his name, as it sounds probably most likely which is tee-dus as the company decided to call it that.

    I used to think it was "Tee-dus", but when I started talking to my friend about it, she laughed when I said it and I was confused.

    Me: What's so funny?
    Her: You say it weird,
    Me: What? Isn't that how you say it?
    Her: No! It's pronounced "Tai-dus"
    Me: Are you serious? I've been saying it wrong this whole time?!

    I personally prefer Tee-dus and i've always pronounced it that way. Tai-dus just doesn't sound right to me.

    Yeah i played Final Fantasy and i'm pretty sure they called him by Tee-dus pronunciation. so i usually go with FF since a lot of FF characters in KH are altered in one way or another. As a matter of fact, Tidus is displayed as a child around 6, whereas in FFX, he is more around the age of 16. so that's why i pronounce it Tee-dus.

    I can't say I see the logic in saying Teedus.
    How do you say Tideous, Tidy and Tide? Exactly.
    if (logic=true)
    Tie-Dus



    EDIT: Wow, this was an old thread.

    But it is weird, in KH1 Someone says his name as 'Tee-Dus' then Selphie says his name as Tide-us in KH2.

    It's not been confirmed to be Tee-dus though.
    Dissidia calls him Tee-dus sure, but other things have called him Tai-dus.

    Another thing is Kitase has confirmed it was Tai-dus on other occasions.
    I don't think it matters overall though.
    Just whatever you prefer.
    I've always preferred Tai-dus. But yeah. XD

    I've always pronounced it "Tai-dus"
    "Tee-dus" sounds a bit nasally to me, and I always thought "Tai-dus" flowed better.

    I pronounce it Tee-dus it sounds cuter than Tai-dus to me personally lol. As for the Dissidia situation I was happy when they pronounced it Tee-dus...but then I was weirded out when they pronounced Zidane, Zi-dahn.

    Final Fantasy characters have strange names I miss the days where you could name them yourself. I'd give them a simple name like Bob or AAAA
    Gah I couldn't find the English dubbed one he sounded more bored and I liked it lol

    I used to call him Tai-dus, but then my cousin called him Tee-dus so I just went like that. I never realised there was a Tai-dus Tee-dus revolution. 8D

    If, considering the game is from japan, you go by Japanese orthography it should be Tee-doos (i makes the ee sound and u makes the oo sound).

    However, I think Tai-dus sounds better so I use that ... Teedus just sounds ... bleh to me.

    In Dissidia they pronounce it "Tee-dus"

    ...but I wanna say "Tie-dus" because in English it sounds better. But yeah, in Japanese the "i" is "ee" just like in Spanish. so, yeah.

    Honestly, as he's named after the Tide, Tai-dus makes the most sense...and who would want to agree with Wakka??? That guy is as annoying as they come. "Man"
