The thing that really hits different for me about Yuna and Tidus as a FF pairing (besides the whole “dream” thing) can literally be captured by the post-Yevon mess reveal scene.
When Tidus could tell how it’s hurting Yuna that her faith’s wavering after finding out about Yevon’s corruption and how its teachings won’t really end Sin permanently, he came to her and listened to her talk about how hard it was for her. He suggested a way out and promised to try his best to help her. The way out might sound more like a distant dream (because dream Zanarkand… don’t really exist), but he really was trying to tell her there’s still something beautiful to look forward to out there.
But when Yuna insisted that she just can’t go because she feel obligated to fulfill her duties, Tidus didn’t push it. Instead, he comforted her, and told her he’ll stay, no matter what.
That’s the kind of love, you know. I mean… the others aren’t so different in reaction fron Tidus but he’s different in a sense that he’s not from Spira, and he doesn’t believe in Yevon. In fact, he’s always questioning it. It must have taken a lot for Tidus to hold back from pushing her, after the whole Yevon mess was revealed and knowing that if Yuna continue the pilgrimage, she’ll die.
Yet, he chose to support her choice, and stayed with her. He didn’t throw tantrums or anything, he just made it known to her that he’ll be there for her.
