#17  At the end, doesn't Yuna stop from sending him.. as she shakes her head no? I take it the team didn't know what the hell was going on either then? I do have some more questions, but does FFX2 cover anymore on the nature of tidus and sin? OR is the game pretty worthless? |

| Site Staff  | Yuna does shortly stop for Auron when she realizes he is leaving, but by the point she had stopped, he had already made the decision to enter the Farplane. As far as Tidus goes, Yuna was sending the Aeons. By the time Tidus began disappearing, the Aeons are already gone, which meant that his link to Spira was disappearing. Yuna is depicted as having already stopped by the time that Tidus began to fade away, which means that she is not able to manipulate DZ pyreflies. She shakes her head "no" because she does not want Tidus to leave. As far as FFX-2 is concerned, it doesn't really delve deeper into pyreflies mystery, but it does put into solid canon some short definitions (albiet highly oversimplified) of pyreflies and Sin, and the Aeons. However, the relationship with pyreflies is not with Aeons, but the unsent Shuyin and his (for the lack of a better word) replica, Tidus. FFX-2 is mostly useless, and brings up MORE questions that shouldn't need to be asked, and are, if anything, contradictory. |

 | The Zanarkand that Tidus is from was a dream. If the dream comes in to contact with Sin then there is a chance that the part of the dream that came in to contact with Sin can become something more than just a dream. However Tidus and Jehct before him were still only dreams but instead of existing in the flow of the dream they existed outside of the flow in the world of Spira (reality) This would be akin to you dreaming up your fantasy of the perfect girl and the next day you awake and find her sitting in your room completely real so that everyone can see her, touch her and speak to her but then one day you stop dreaming about her and she disappears. That is what happened to Tidus and Jehct thanks to Sin. Jecht however complicates it by becoming the fayth for Sin a way that proves that whilst he is in Spira he is as real and more importantly from the way this conversation is going, alive. Tidus follows suit apart from he doesn't want to become Sin (for that was his other choice I think he would have had to have been the fayth for the final summoning for Yuna had that been their choice) The dead however can freely ride Sin to the dream and back or rather they can if Sin allows them to. That is what Auron did to get to Tidus and to make sure that when Jecht (Sin) was ready he would take him back and guide him to his destiny. It was when the dream ended that Tidus's existence ended when you awake from a dream it is as if the dream never was, but as I said about the fantasy girl, those she spoke to and touched would forever bear the witness to the fact that she was there and real. Hence Yuna and her other guardians (not to mention half of spira from the looks of it in the game) will remember Tidus as being there even though he disappeared along with Sin and the Fayth. Now as for Tidus's looks and existing 1000 years before the game's events the people here are correct Tidus didn't exist 1000 years ago in Zanarkand. In fact Tidus's appearance and such I believe was based on someone from the real Zanarkand however (as you will see if you play X-2) called Shuyin who like Tidus falls in love with a Summoner and will do anything to protect her and prevent her from dying. |

| Site Staff | Technically he is. Shuyin's template was used in the designing of Tidus in DZ, but filtered down through many years. Thank you Iceglow, for summing up my words in a coherent format which is more like a lecture, rather than me having to answer each question individually, and therefore, making things complicated and disjointed. |

| | What of the end, after the credits, where a few pyreflies flit by and Tidus wakes up and swims toward the "surface" and then the FFX logo comes up and then it's THE END ... is this just supposed to be a flashback of some sort, or is it supposed to lead you to believe that he does still exist? |

 | They continue that FMV in X-2, that's Tidus coming back. Tidus says in the little cutscene on the perfect ending "I think they put all my memories togethor and made me" (or something like that)... So, I think he has sorta, BECAME real. |

| Site Staff | If you omitte evidence from FFX-2? Then, it was put there as a fanservice, so that people could write fiction or not be forced to feel that Yuna no longer has Tidus as an option. At the time of writing the script of FFX, there was no intention of creating a sequel. Essentially, this means that no matter how you slice it, Tidus only exists because of the Fayth. |
