Goddess of the Azure Sky
Ah, because I've never played X-2. I've only watched cses online. I assumed that Shuyin was just some guy that Yuna mistook as Tidus lol
would that work though? I know that Jetch wasn't a bad guy either, but he was tainted by Sin. He also had some conflict with Tidus too because Tidus hated Jetch for abandoning him.
LOL nah, she did but then she found out that Shuyin was the lover of Lenne (that long haird 'Yuna look-alike) which is what the story revolves around, Yuna goes looking for this look-alike, thinking its Tidus when it isnt, apparently it is, from what I belive, the Fayths idea of what Shuyin would of been like 1000 years ago, Tidus being the 'good side' of Shuyin which is how Tidus was created.
As for Tidus, he hated his father not because he abandoned him but because he was always treated like s**t by him (and Tidus hated the stupid crap Jecht did like making up the terrible 'mark III name for the Jecht Shot and the reason behind it etc), no matter what Tidus (or anyone else) did it just wasnt good enough for Jecht and his sky high expectations, on esample of this was on the boat when Tidus tries to do the Jecht Shot, we shoot over to a flashback where Tidus is a little kid trying to do the Jecht Shot, the scene is as follows:
Tidus: *tries to kick the ball but fails*
Jecht: *Walks over* well well, trying to fllow in my footsteps are you? I usually charge for lessons you know...that shot is done like this *does Jecht Shot* you can't do it kid, but don't worry my boy, youre not the only one, no one else can do it, im the best!
Back in present day Spira:
Tidus: *starting to do the Jecht Shot*
Jecht: (voice) you are out of your league, no one can do it, im the best gahahaha! etc
That was Jecht, his ego was bigger then half of all the Final Fantasy worlds put together, Tidus was never able to get Jecht to say anything nice to him, where most parents helped their kids, Tidus was loved by his mother but always treated terrible by his father, regardless what Tidus did, Jecht just didn't do or say anything nice to Tidus which is all Tidus wanted, was just the love of a father which is why he goes on about how much he hates him, it is all Jechts own fault.
Though, with saying that, I have always belived, at the end of FFX when Tidus and his father 'tagged' each other, it was, in their own way, a sort of 'peace' between them, like Jecht finally accepted Tidus for who he was and not just some cry baby kid who couldn't do anything and Tidus finally forgave his father.
So no, Jecht wasnt a bad guy, he was just an egotistical guy who thought the world revolved around him, he only turned 'bad' because he was picked as Braskas final aeon though Auron said that Jecht loved Tidus and I always belived he did just that he had a REALLY terrible way of showing it that it ended up more like abuse then a sort of tough love.
