Age:	17
Birthplace:	Zanarkand

Weapons:	Swords

Tidus is the main playable protagonist of Final Fantasy X. Tidus is the star Blitzball player for the Zanarkand Abes. At least he was, until a large being known as Sin sucked him into a portal that flung him 1000 years forward in time. He's been forced to take up the sword, as he searches for clues about his father's death, called into question be someone in the time he lands in, and along the way he protects the woman he will grow to love. He's brave, headstrong, and cares more about the safety of others around him than his own.

Final Fantasy X

Tidus is first seen in his hometown of Zanarkand playing blitzball with his team. On his way to the game the player learns what happened to Jecht, his father, and Tidus' ill feelings towards him. After Sin destroys the city, Auron], a man Jecht asked to watch his son, puts him through the light that teleports him to Spira; and to Yuna.

When Tidus regains consciousness, he is submerged in water at Baaj Temple. After fighting off the resident fiend, he is "recruited" by the Al Bhed, and taken to work on their ship. Tidus and Rikku, a spunky Al Bhed girl that speaks both languages, finnish the job. Tidus reveals to Rikku that he is from Zanarkand, a city destroyed 1000 years ago as Sin's first target. Rikku informs him that there is no Zanarkand anymore, and that he must have Sin's Toxin, a malevolent substance that Sin secrete to make its victim's memories fuzzy. Rikku then promises that she'll take him to Luca, the city of Blitzball, in the hopes that his team will find him. Before Rikku's promise is fulfilled, Sin attacks the barge, and Tidus is flung into the water, where he floats to Besaid.

After showing off his skills to Wakka, the leader of the Besaid Aurochs, Tidus learns of Sin, Yevon, and Summoners, a gifted few that may summon powerful beasts known as Aeons. Tidus braves the Cloister of Trials after a priest tells him about the summoner who hasn't made it out yet. He then meets Lulu, a grumpy black mage, Kimahri, a silent Ronso warrior, and lastly, Yuna, the lovely daughter of High Summoner Braska, and a new summoner.

He joins Yuna on her pilgrimage, reuniting with Auron, who reveals that his father is Sin, and Rikku, distrusted because of her race, along the way, as well as learning more about Spira, Summoners, and the Final Summoning. He witnesses the horrors of Operation Mi'ihen, and learns of Yevon's deception towards its people. Then, when the guardians are saving the Al Bhed's Home, he learns the most shocking fact: In order to vanquish Sin, Yuna, a woman he's grown to love, will have to die.

When everyone is reunited, he tries to convince Yuna not to complete her journey. After consoling her, the pair share a romantic moment in the Macalania Spring. Sadly, Yuna must journey on.

Finally, the party reaches Zanarkand. The end of Yuna's journey, and his story. When the party defeats Yunalesca, Tidus learns of his origins: He is not a real person, just a dream of the Fayth. Eager to search for a way to both spare Yuna's life and free his father, he travels Spira on Cid's newly repaired airship. The way is found, Sin is defeated, Jecht is free, and the fayth may sleep, but at a heavy price.

Tidus will disappear. He tells Yuna goodbye, and he's sorry he can't take her to Zanarkand. He leaps off the airship and meets the spirit of his father with a high-five, a sign that all is forgiven.

Stats

Final Fantasy X-2

While Tidus is an important character in X-2 he's only seen a few times. Throughout most of the game he is mistaken for Shuyin. He can be found on the Farplane (his ghost anyways) if the player presses X after Yuna falls in the Djose Temple hole guiding Yuna back to the surface. Whether or not he returns again is dependant on the ending the player receives. If the player recieves Sad Ending (normal ending), he is last seen holding Yuna in the Farplane much like he did in X. If the player recieves Good Ending, the Fayth with restore his body and he will reunite with Yuna as the Gullwings and Besaid watches. Also if Perfect Ending is recieved he will explain how he was able to return.
