 Andrew Long of RPGamer criticized James Arnold Taylor's work, saying that Tidus is supposed to sound "impulsive and energetic" but his dialogue is "stupid and childish".Eurogamer's Tom Brawell agreed, calling Tidus' voice "whiny" and "detestable".Despite his dislike of the voice acting, Chris Carter of Destructoid enjoyed playing as Tidus in the crossover fighting game "Dissidia Final Fantasy" and looked forward to its reboot.
