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 &quot;Titus&quot; as an example here). It just makes more grammatical sense."}
