...that the characters did not tell Tidus that Yuna was going to sacrifice her self to bring the calm!

I mean seriously, he was obvoiusly confused and had no idea what was going on or what Spira even was. The party thought he was crazy because he kept saying that he was from old Zanarkand. How would he have know about the summoner's pilgrimage?

And their excuse was lame too. "Oh it was too sad to talk about."

Yeah, so you just let him continue to say to Yuna "Hey I'll get you to Zanarkand :D"

I think a better excuse would have been for them to tell them that they were originally going to leave him at... grrr what's the name of that huge city with the Blitzball tournament... and that's why they didn't bother to say anything. Who knows what they could have said afterwards.

But I guess they needed that dramatic scene :(
 
It's Luca! =D

And yeah it was annoying. I don't get why they just didn't tell him. It's like they were trying to protect his feelings when they didn't even know him.

And if they really thought that he got too close to Sin, then maybe they could have just prompted his memory and helped him understand what was going on around him. =/
 
Well, maybe they thought that it would sort of cheer Yuna up to have somme one who didn't know about it. Plus, it really wasn't their place to tell him, it was Yuna's. Not to mention it would probably be a really hard thing to say.

I mean sometimes even though you know that something bad is going to happen, you can pretend it isn't going to happen by not talking about it.

So, yeah it was a bit annoying to me, but I also understood why it happened.
 
i got like really angry about that >:( like u think that yh they are going to get together then "yuna gonna die" :( great lool

the city was luca :)

the only reason tidus carried on traveling was due to auron and yuna wanting him to come :)
 
Yeah I was annoyed however, I guess i understand why they didn't tell him. Though, I think it'd be better if they told him so that he wouldn't sound as much as an idiot when he said he'd take Yuna to Zanarkand. That clearly made her sad and reminded her of what was to come ya know? If they would've just pulled him to side told him and thats that so he wouldn't end up making Yuna feel sad.
 
They porbably wanted to, but I honestly think Yuna is the type to say to them not to. I think she kinda liked hearing him say that. It made him feel good, and was giving him optimism in a time where he was confused and scared, she could pretend to have a future for a few moments, it cheered her up etc.

She was such a selfless person-- I don't think she would have burst his bubble, even if it made her feel a little sad here and there (overall though, I think she liked hearing him say those things, bar the scene in Macalania).
 
I really don't think Yuna would have told anyone in the group if she'd had the option to keep it a complete secret. She seemed to just want to get it over with without troubling anyone or making a big deal of herself. So from that perspective it does seem likely that she might have asked the others not to tell Tidus, or anyone else who didn't already know for that matter. I can't blame her for that, though if the others noticed him falling in love with her (honestly it's been so long I can't remember if they knew or not) they definitely should have discouraged him from developing any more feelings for her than he already had. Because that would just be mean to let him go on thinking they had a chance together.

At the same time, though, he pulled the same crap on everyone else at the end--"Oh, by the way, after this battle I'm disappearing! :D 'Kay, bye! :D" :grumpy: That really made me mad--I mean, the others were about to let Yuna sacrifice herself, and they probably cared about Tidus somewhat less than Yuna, so I'm sure they would've respected his decision to go on knowing that he would disappear at the end. And if he'd told Yuna ahead of time, they could've had more time to talk and get closure for what was about to happen, instead of the (IMO) immature way he handled it.
 
It did annoy me somewhat, but I see Yuna's reasoning.

It was Yuna's place to tell him, not her guardians. I can understand why Yuna wouldn't want to tell him. She wanted her journey to be full of happiness, and she wanted her guardians to be happy with her. Maybe she thought that if she kept this secret from Tidus, it would be easier for him to keep smiling and stay with her on her journey.

Though I've got to mention that it seems like even more sadness would be brought upon Yuna by Tidus constantly telling her that he would take her to Zanarkand once she was done with her pilgrimage.
 
I get that it was Yuna's decision and that she probably wanted someone to not know her fate. But was that really fair to Tidus? Espeically after Yuna asked him to be her guardian? What if he didn't find out until she did make the sacrifice? What implications could that possibly have for Tidus if he finds out that he had been leading her to her death the entire time right after she died? That would be rather cruel to him. Seriously, if she didn't want to tell him what was going to happen she should have never asked him to be her guardian.

And Tidus was already confused about what was going on around him. He had a right to know what was going on in the world of Spira. So really, it was not Yuna's decision to tell him but everyone else's obligation to inform Tidus of the summoner's pilgrimage. Yuna was not the only summoner in Spira.


And I don't buy the whole, she wanted her guardians to be happy with her. They were on a pilgrimage with her that would ultimately lead to her death. How could she expect any of that to be happy?

Meh it was all for that dramatic scene in the middle of the game.
 
Yeah, that really pissed me off. I don't think that they should've told him at the last minute, or end up not telling him at all if he never found out. It would just kinda make things worse for him. /:

That scene was so sad. D;
 
look it ain't the party or Yunas fualt that Tidus was to confused and stupid to realise what was unfolding infront of his eyes


i mean i knew only as much as Tidus but i figured out yuna had to die before they got to Home and i bet all you pple did to Tidus is just that stupid
 
^ If you were plunged into a completely different world where everything you knew was turned up on its head, you'd not have a clue what was going on either. And it's not really fair comment to say it's obvious that Yuna had to die to beat Sin -you'd probably assume all those Aeons she's getting would do the job for her.


I didn't find it particularly annoying that nobody told Tidus; Yuna wanted to keep smiling, and despite it being at his expense Tidus managed that. The others likely acknowledged that too, making it even more awkward a topic to bring up in casual conversation.

"Oh hey by the way, you know that chick you vowed to protect, promised to take to Zanarkand, and pretty much love? Yeah, she's going to die. Soon."


It's a regrettable truth that yeah, he'd have to find out eventually, but his positivity kept spirits high by the looks of things.
 
the irony of this is that tidus
ends up pulling the same maneuver on everyone else at the end
, leaving them in awe. it was sad for yuna, but you know what they say...what goes around, comes around.

Annoying? what the hell! they chose not to tell tidus because it was a story telling device to draw players into the fact that sin was still around and that something was missing and give players a chance to ponder "why".....protect his feelings.....people are more likeley to act for themselves when it comes to thing like grieve and the thought of losing a close friend its analagouse to telling someone who just lost there father that he was a rapist or something just as heinous at the guys funeral when...greive comes from within rather than an external source we as humans act out of self-preservation

thats a little yo deep for a ffforums post but there it is .....and yes aussie accents are hot
 
I agree with the former posters that Yuna just wanted to smile and be happy. After all, as far as she knew they would be among her last memories, why not keep them happy? Sure it would've been better for Tidus to tell him early on, but then everyone would be depressed and suck-ish. :sleep:

Along with Tidus's disappearing act, thought the Fayth told him that he would have to fade when the Fayth stopped dreaming I personally don't think that he believed that he would fade away. After all, how would he expect to disappear? I don't think it was either Yuna's or Tidus's fault for not telling each other that they wouldn't be around.:nudge:
 
Didn't really find it annoying like galaxyflair said it was a plot device. I think more annoying was the fact that because you had to input Tidus' name and could have changed it none of the characters spoke his name or asked him it
 
Honestly, I didn't find it annoying at all, but I saw it coming a mile away.

I mean, let's look at the facts, here: High Summoners fight Sin, only for him to come back a few months later. Braska did it 10 years ago. He was like 20-30, maybe. If he won, then why is he dead? Obviously, there was something fishy with that pilgrimage stuff.

But I understand why Tidus wouldn't get it & why the other party members wouldn't tell him. As I said, I didn't consider it annoying at all.

As for Tidus, he revealed at least during the ending that he expected to fade away after defeating Sin. It's ironic because it IS kind of selfish of him to turn around & do the same thing when they were going out of their way to protect Yuna from sacrificing herself, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I mean, sometimes the best solution is still bittersweet. In fact, I'm pretty sure Tidus says something to the effect of, "It may be selfish, but it's MY story!"
 
I am the only one who read into it a bit too much? I thought it was very typical Japanese behaviour to keep you in the dark like they did... the Japanese are never really straight with you, and how Yuna and the gang treated Tidus reminded me of Japanese people. :hmmm:

But then reading through this I guess I agree, Yuna did want to keep smiling and happy. If I'm not mistaken, during the game she says how much Tidus kept her smiling and happy. That's because Tidus didn't know wtf was going on/going to happen. So yeah, she was really just keeping him sweet.
 
They're Japanese?

I was more annoyed this this even coincided around Yuna marrying Seymour. 'Oh hey that chick you like? Yeah she's marrying someone else for political reasons. AND THEN she'll die. Before he rapes her (probably)."
