Description: Tidus and Aeons. Caution: Spoilers

I remember asking this in another forum but it ended with everything unanswered.
My question is related to the end of FFX when fighting Yu Yevon he takes over every Aeon and you have to kill them.
My question was why didn't he just take over Tidus? Since Tidus wasn't a person but a dream of the Fayth(very similar, if not just like an Aeon) why didn't/couldn't Yu Yevon just take over Tidus?
Just one of those things that has lingered in my mind for a long while.

Hmm, I honestly have no idea.

That was from ffcompendium.com, but it doesn't help alot.
Sorry I can't help you with your question.
Edit:

| At Yevon's behest, many of the people of Zanarkand give up their lives and turn themselves into fayths. (Fayths are souls trapped in statues, whose dreams manipulate a phenomenon called pyreflies. This phenomenon can result in making real that which is not: for example, calling aeons, beings of great power.) Yu Yevon himself merges with the life energy (pyreflies) of the rest of the people to build an invincible armor called Sin. Using Sin, he decimates the army of Bevelle; however, the creation of Sin destroys Zanarkand as well. From within Sin, Yevon uses the fayth to summon a dream Zanarkand: Zanarkand as it was before its destruction, to keep it in its pristine state forever. |
Also from ffcompendium, I think Tidus was from Dream Zanarkand.

Perhaps Yu Yevon didn't realize exactly what Tidus was. I mean, he doesn't know him personally so why should he understand the nature of his being? Yu Yevon was summoner so of course he understood what the Aeons were but as far as he knew Tidus was simply human.

*bumps*
I think I've got it. Tidus was just a dream, he never was actually alive, or because he wasn't actually a Fayth. He never truly lived in the past, neither did he sacrfice himself to become a Fayth for an Aeon, so he isn't anything like an Aeon.....
That makes no sense :headbang:

I understand what you're saying but I think that they're extremely similar.
They all originate from The Fayth, take a physical form, and they all disappeared after the Fayth went to sleep. >.O
