but, see, you're forgetting -- he's a jock

THIS IS WHAT KILLS ME.

I'm sympathetic to the fact that Tidus has been violently ripped away from the only environment he's ever known, but I have zero empathy for his almost willful lack of critical thinking. I'm guessing that things were a little strange in dream Zanarkand as well, but for some reason Tidus apparently never thought to question it. I imagine Auron trying to hint to Tidus that his world was more (or less) than it seemed and Tidus being like COOL STORY BRO LET'S BLITZ.

And again, if the series as a whole devoted more attention to the trauma of its female characters - Tifa in particular strikes me as a good parallel to Tidus - then I would be more willing for tolerate FFX's insistence that the player humor Tidus's petulance and mood swings.

I just... I hear you. Thanks for responding, and thanks for good points all around.
