 According to GameSpot reviewer Greg Kasavin, players might not initially like the character but would eventually find him "suitably endearing".Kasavin wrote that Tidus had the "surprising depth" characteristic of past "Final Fantasy" protagonists, and called the game's ending "emotionally charged and satisfying".PSXextreme's Arnold Katayev liked Tidus' easygoing personality, contrasting it with those of previous (antisocial) "Final Fantasy" protagonists.
