I didn't think Tidus went to the farplane. He was a dream if the fayth and as such not "alive" nor able to become a fiend. He simply vanished because the fayth stopped dreaming.

I thought this too, to begin with, but the only time Spoiler: Yuna sees Tidus in FFX-2 is on the Farplane, unless you get the good/perfect ending. I really don't know what to think. First we're told that Spoiler: he's disappeared, then we're told he comes back... What's next? This is starting to remind me of Pinnochio - maybe Tidus'll reappear in FFX-3 as a 'real boy'!

LOL - Pinnochio!

At any rate, I thought that Tidus simply dissappeared too, but when I rewatched the ending, I saw that he actually meets up with Jecht, Braska, and Auron after leaving Yuna and Company, on what looks like the Farplane. Since Auron had just been sent to the Farplane, logically Tidus would need to be there as well in order to see him. Also, Braska should be in the Farplane too, since he died fighting Sin.

So if Auron and Braska are there, Tidus is in the Farplane, right? Okay, but, that does not explain why Jecht would be there if he, like Tidus, had never been real - if he had only been part of the Fayth's dream. So why is Jecht in the Farplane?

My theory is that Jecht and Tidus are special cases. That although the dream world was destroyed when the Fayth awoke, Tidus and Jecht weren't lost forever because they each had spent time outside of the dream world, in Spira. In essence, they had gained an aspect of reality. Therefore, they went to the Farplane rather than dissapearing.

I think that my theory also gives the writers of X-2 a little leeway, if not much. Just a thought.

The only thing that makes me wonder (having not played X-2) is the fayth of bahmount (?)says that he is more than just a dream now but i still dont think he became "real."......do you think i could convince my AS Philosphy class to play this game!? never know it might be worth a try!

[SeeDRankLou]

Tidus and Jecht both became more than a dream when they touched Sin. Sin made them "real", they are real in the sense that Yuna and others are real, but they are also tied to the dream world, as it created them. When the dream world left, so did they, but in being "real" they didn't just vanish, they went to the farplane. That's kind of confusing, bu that's the best I got at the moment.

[Soul Vagabond]

Then what about Auron? He actually lived in the dream Zanarkand for ten years. How? How could just coming in contact with Sin make him be able to exist in a plane of existance that doesn't really... exist? Was it because he was an unsent, thus not quite existing, himself? You would think that one who is real can't phicically be in a realm of dreams.

[SeeDRankLou]

Auron said that being unsent aloud him to ride Sin to the dream Zanarkand, so yeah I guess not quite existing himself aloud him to exist in the dream. That's a good question though.

[Mura Masa]

So..you guys are saying someone dreamt of FFX? And that someone just had an ordinary sleep?

I thought Tidus was telling the story or his flashbacks and then you play his story.

Sorry if I complicate too much
