That's probably what you meant but I just wanted some confirmation that Tidus did indeed exist in the original Zanarkand, right?
There is nothing in the game that either confirms or denies that Tidus was actually alive 1000 years ago. I believe that probably the original population of the dream Zanarkand was based on the actual population of Zanarkand, but 1000 years has past since the dream first started. People of the dream world lived, grew up, had children, died, just like in the real world. So I would imagine that Tidus is just a creation of the dream world and was never really alive in the first place.
