I've always been curious about what happened to Tidus when he dissapeared and what happened to him during the two years he was gone. If the Farplane is where human souls go after they die, then what would have happened to him since he wasn't real person? If he was never alive, then he technically could never have died. He had to exist in some form since he turns up several times in the next game. Did you notice that his pyrefly form is different from other dead people's pyrefly form? So, this is my idea of what happend to him.

"I love you." He had heard her. He was certain that is what she had said, and it had been the last thing he had ever heard. By that time, his ear sensors had lost their substance, and would no longer pick up sound waves from the human world.

He turned around to look at her, still able to see her, but his vision was fading in and out.

Her back was to him, her held her head high. She was not going to weep over a dream. She was still the venerable High Summoner, willing to sacrifice all her happiness and dreams for the sake of others.

He tried to say it back, to tell her how much she meant to him. He wanted to say he didn't care if he never went home to Zanarkind again, he just wanted to stay with her.

Except… his voice was now gone too. If he opened his mouth to speak, nothing would come out. He wasn't breathing anymore, and he couldn't feel his heart beat. All that was left of his humanity was the projected image of himself.

She had just run through him, as if she were a stone cast through mist. He wasn't a part of her world. He never had been. Even before he knew he was a dream, hadn't Lulu warned him not to fall in love with her? Because it was never meant to be. He hadn't believed that, it was never his nature to follow anybody's rules, but reality had fallen hard all around him the moment she had run to him. He couldn't take her in his arms, or help her from falling onto the deck of the airship. She had fallen and he couldn't catch her. It was more painful than any battle or trial he had faced thus far.

He approached her and wrapped his transparent arms around her, almost touching her, but not quite. He would never hold her again.

For a moment, Yuna closed her eyes. Reaching for the love she knew to be real in her heart, Yuna held onto her dream for just a little longer, like trying to grasp water in her hands. And that one moment, the point between sleep and awake, was enough to make him real for one more second. Long enough for him to whisper into her ear the truest secret of his heart. He loved her too.

The dream was ending. He had to leave her. Now, while he still had a chance to follow the aeons and make it to the Farplane.

Slowly he dropped his arms and pressed himself through her. When she had gone through him, he had felt her love, now he emitted all his love for her to know.

He didn't look back, there was no need to. He couldn't look back into her lovely eyes one more time, or else he would never leave, and he couldn't bare to have Yuna send him.

So with a running start, he had jumped off the airship.

He made it to the Farplane. He saw Braska and Auron, and then there was his father, smiling at him with pride in his eyes and his hand out held for a high-five in welcome.
