      @teedus Drunken shenanigans involving Dane mispronouncing the name Tidus from Final Fantasy X

          @mrmattimation Yeah but if I'm not mistaken in KH2 Selphie then pronounces it as "Tie-dus" so we're back at square one. I'm just going by English grammar rules for pronunciation here.

            @northernnarwhal In FF Dissidia they also pronounce it Teedus.

              @mrmattimation Yeah but we don't call Cloud "Kuraudo" when talking about his English name. There is dissonance in the pronunciation of Tidus's name across games, but if we're looking at it from a perspective of pronouncing his localized name, a vowel followed by a single consonant and another vowel will produce a long vowel sound for that first vowel (think of the Roman emperor "Titus" as an example here). It just makes more grammatical sense.
