I know this is a meme but for some reason this is still a semi hot topic in FF fandom.
Officially it's Tee-dus. Arnold Taylor always pronounced it that way in promo material and later games also did. His name comes from the Okinawan word for Sun, Tiida (Tee-da) never tides
@slime_machine I have always enjoyed it MGS! Though I totally get how jarring it is and how that can be off putting. I agree that here it looks bad. High Score Girl did something similar but that was set in the 90s and used games like SF2 and Darkstalkers. So the pixel art probably helps a lot.
The responses to this perfectly show the dichotomy I was talking about yesterday. The chuds hate the gaming companies but also refuse to engage with the political ramifications of these unaccountable entities that are borderline monopolies
