...They are not using the same logic as I. For serious, yo. Tidus is the single most un-whiny kid in Japanese games I've ever run across. If anything, he's positively peppy - he's the guy who's always going around saying, "Can we do it? You bet your ass we can! Say it with me, HELL YEAH WE CAN!" Compare that with, say, almost any character in FF8, especially the main character, who uses dots as some kind of emo morse code.
