If I may, I think Tidus' personality actually helped move the story forward. One of the main themes of FFX is not losing hope even in the most dire of situations. Tidus struck me as outspoken in contrast to Yuna, who was shy and reserved. Tidus was the one who pushed everyone to find another way to beat Sin without the Final Aeon to save Spira and, of course, so Yuna wouldn't need to sacrifice herself. Whoever said Tidus' thought Spira sucked needs to play the game again. At first he was apprehensive because, like Lady Aerith mentioned, it was entirely new to him. But the game gave me the impression that he grew fond of it through the friendships he forged with the others.
As for the VA, some of it was awful (laughing scene in Luca that everybody mentions) but some of it was good (when he narrates the story). In short, I actually think Tidus is a good character.

When I played this game, I really paid attention to Tidus' dialogue and came to the conclusion that it was the V/O line delivery that sucked. I honestly have some V/O experience and I could've done a way better job. The wrong words were being inflected like the actor was rushing to deliver his lines and leave. But when I read the subtitles and muted the audio, it worked.
True Tidus was a crybaby but I mean he was sent into a different world. His emotion was raw especially after the destruction of Home.

I liked Tidus, sometimes his voice did get annoying though, it really did sound like the VA was rushing some of the lines, but I did like Tidus' personality, despite the whole Oedipus complex thing (but I guess it did fuel the story). I liked his optimism, it kinda made the story more enjoyable for me, I also really enjoyed his narration, it was definitely one of the things that drew me to the story.

i think killing him is a bit harsh lol. i didnt like the way he was a bit selfish n stuff. but he was a genuinlly nice guy i thought. and really brought yuna of of herself and lightened the mood. i mean imagine if it was just yuna, wakka, lulu, kimahri and auron. it would be pure like ahhhhh!

Meh. Tidus was quite a character. He was loud and obnoxious for the most part. By the middle I guess I had gotten use to him and didn't realize it was much. *shrugs*
That laughing scene with Yuna put me over the edge though. -___-;;

As a character, I found Tidus to be more-so realistic than any previous hero. If I was some sports star that suddenly got spirited away to another time and place where everyone fought 'Sin,' I'd be pretty freaked out, too!
His reactions were realistic at times. But his downfall?
His voice actor.
Tidus just had the most irritating voice, ever, and it made him really hard to deal with as a character. The Japanese voice actor had such a more pleasant voice.
I think if Tidus had a better voice actor, the dislike for him wouldn't have been so high.

You have a point, there. If I was sucked up by sin into an alternate world that wasn't familiar then, I would be freaked out and stuff too. So, yeah. Sometimes, I still say he can be abit over dramatic. ;;
