I always hear that Tidus is the main character, but I actually think Yuna is.
Everything revolves around her, she's got her guardians, she's got the important task, she's constantly in the "limelight" whenever something happens.
And so on.

i don't think there is one definitive main character, as the role jumps between the characters at different points in the plot. tidus and yuna's seems plots seem to be continuous throughout the game so i can understand why you think yuna might be the main character, but i'm still gonna give it to tidus as he is the one telling the story.

Hmmmm, Good theard


I think tidus and yuna were the main characters, Tidus was one of the main character for obvious reasons (ex: YOU PLAY AS HIM DUH!)

Yuna is a mian character as well because Tidus and her and little love for each other. Also she has the most in common with Tidus like Ject was her dads gaurdion and Ject is Tidus' dad.

I think Tidus is and should be considered the main character in the game but Yuna's character is so well-written and so well-developed that i can really understand it if someone considers her as the main lead.
Tidus is the first character that you get to control and you do so for most of the game.There's a rule in movies (as well as games) that you have to show your main character (protagonist) as soon as possible.The developers also try to make this clear by having him say a couple of times "this is my story" (however egoistic this may sound).
Yuna is one of the best secondary characters i've ever seen in a game...She helps the hero to discover and develop himself as well as to push the story beyond.She is the main reason that drives Tidus even more than his confrontation with his father.
I believe that those who like Tidus as a character they do so because of Yuna.She really helps to make him look good.

In RPGs, the main character is the one whom you are introduced to first (if not first, then it's because the first one you get to meet will soon die or be captured by the enemy), and serves as the impetus of beginning the journey. In FFX, Yuna serves neither of these, as she would have gone on with her journey no matter what happened.

This is true in Besaid, and is re-confirmed on the Thunder Plains. Though she is a primary, and very important character (if not more so than Tidus), she is not the main character, nor protagonist.

I always thought that Yuna should have been the main character, however the way the story is presented in FFX you cannot say that she IS the main character. She should have been, but she isn't. We see the story through Tidus' perspective, observing Yuna and getting used to the world around us as Tidus does. Tidus' fate is dragged along Yuna's path, but the game is still all about HIS fate and how he exists.

I always thought Tidus was the main character becuase, well, you play as him.

Yeah, but the story focuses just as much, if not even more, on Yuna.
