Satisfied?

I was just wondering...how many people were satisfied with Tidus disappearing (or for others, "dying") in the end?

I, for one, was satisfied with that. I like Tidus enough, and I did appreciate his character, but I thought the ending for FFX was perfect since it was very different from the series. The hero disappears and there is really no happy ending for him and Yuna as far as their relationship go. Typically, there is a happy ending (or so I think...haven't exactly played all the FF games) for the main characters, but not Tidus and Yuna - let's exclude FFX-2 here, please.

It wrapped up the game with the perfect amount of emotional gravitas that FFX's story was building up to. To date, I think X's story is the most fully-realized and most cinematic of any game in the series.

Yeah I was satisified with his disappearance since it bought closure to the story.

Shame Tidus couldn't do his disappearing act earlier in the game though -
I could have done without him crying and whining throughout most of the game. XP XP

Its also a shame that FFX-2 showed up and ruined FFX's great ending, oh well. XP XP XD

I would have preferred a different end for Tidus. Something along the lines of an excruciating, bloody death.

I guess the ending is fine as it is, though.

It was a satisfying end indeed. Though I would've been much happier with an actual happy ending, I thought it wrapped up the ending really nicely.

I was certainly satisfied with the ending. I thought it was beautiful; poetic and unique. Although X-2 totally ruined that notion. I liked the fact it wasn't happy. Sadder endings make me think and reflect more, and they stick in my mind for longer. Happy endings are a little too common. ¬_¬

I thought it was good enough. Although I agree with VoN on the bloody death part.

Yup, I was satisfied with it, all the other dreams faded so it made sense that he did too.

Yes. Although I was in a bit of disbelief at first. It left you to interpret many things yourself. After the credits with Yuna whistling.... good way to end it.

A very good ending I must say. I don't usually go for sad endings but this one is an exception. I liked the ideea that Yuna thinks that she will surely die after beating Sin(you know....final summoning and stuff) and, in the end, she recives a more devastating blow....her lover dies. Congratulations to the producers!!!
