FFX-2.5 : Tidus is just "corrupting" everyone
By: ChercheurObscur Date: May 30, 2015, 6:43 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
People seem to think that everyone's traits have changed in the
novel, to the extent that it's bothering them a lot. But here is
my theory about this, I've already written a bit of it in an
other topic but I need to add some elements :
At the end of FFX-2 (good ending), the fayth ask Yuna if she
wants to see Tidus. After her answer, the fayth told her he
can't promise anything but he'll do what he can.
So, we're not sure whether or not Tidus will be his old self
when he'll return in Spira ! That's an important fact !
Then, Tidus finally appears in Besaid, happy ending... but
something's wrong. People's behavior seems altered ! Why's that
? That doesn't make sense ?
Well, it makes sense... if Tidus has returned with some flaws.
You need to understand that Tidus is a special being. He's like
a dream coming from the Farplane. A strange one indeed...
When the living are in the Farplane, they can communicate with
the dead though their minds, but it's a one-way communication.
The dead are just showing what the livings want to see or hear.
Therefore, in my opinion, Tidus is unconsciously controling
people's mind as if it was a reverse farplane.
Okay, but that doesn't make sense for Yuna ! Why would Tidus
make Yuna behaving like in the novel ? She's just calling him a
child !
Well, the fact here is that Yuna has a strong link with the
deceased, the Farplane, etc. And so I think she's disrupting
this kind of control, and that would explain her behaviour in
the novel. Tidus' will is altered and it ends up with this
strange behaviour.
So... is my theory a good one ? Or do you want to throw it
directly in a bin ? :P

I think "the possible" that the fayth did was bring back a
somewhat distorted Tidus.
You can't mess up with the dead, or you could get not only
yourself, but the entire balance of the universe by trying.
The fact that we die is directly linked by the fact that we are
born: we are only able to reproduce because one day we will die.
If we were immortal, there would be no need to reproduce, or
else there would be countless living beings since they can
reproduce, but can't die.
By doing such a profane act as plucking someone's soul from
death itself, or, in other words, bringing someone back from the
Farplane, you're messing with the plane's balance: death is
supposed to be irreversible, no matter how much the living
wishes it would be. It demeans life: why would you live life to
the fullest if you can live again? By bringing Tidus back to
life, the fayth couldn't put his essence back together, because
even they have flaws and couldn't see him as more than just a
dream fabricated by them.
So he essentially was like a new computer assembled from scratch
with an old hard drive: he has his memories, knows he loves
Yuna, but still has the mindset of the guy who lived at
Zanarkand and was star player of a blitzball team. And, of
course, everybody who knew him and knows that he had died were
like 'wtf how is that even possible', since he is no unsent,
since he went to the Farplane, but was not like Jyscal who
ventured out of it on his own accord, and even then everyone
went wtf.
It's not that he's corrupting the other characters, but that
he's corrupted himself but is not aware of it and everyone finds
it strange that he managed to be brought back to life from the
Farplane.
The thing about resurrecting him many times is REALLY demeaning.
The fact that we live only once gives our life meaning, makes us
want to live our life to the fullest because we know we are
going to die someday and will never get another chance to live.
To have him resurrect that many times invalidates this feeling,
and Tidus himself as a character and a person, and this is
really sad. :(
EDIT: Notice that the Farplane was already kind of unstable
during the events of FFX-2, probably due to the uncountable
number of fayth that was sent there at the end of FFX, perhaps
Sin's presence there and Vegnagun absorbing its energy. Plucking
Tidus out of it once might have intensified that instability
and, by the time he was pulled out of it a SECOND time (stahp!),
it kind of melted down and those bizarre beckoning events
started happening. That's why you don't mess with the realm of
the dead.
