It's based on an Okanawan word meaning Sun, just like Yuna's is based on Moon. It resembling the English word Tide is just one of those things.

(It probably actually should be Tida/Tiida but a trailer guy mispronounced the name and so they stuck with it according to Tidus' voice actor. So it's the result of a mistranslation but the mistranslation is the "Us" part, not the Teeda part.)

If you mostly skip the sidequests, then FF7R is not a long game at all. Like around 21 - 24 hours.

What's not short is Infinite Wealth. Like even if you just focus on the storyline, you're looking at 60+ hours. That's not the longest, that would belong to like Persona 5 or Witcher 3, but its still pretty nuts. A lot of it too is very long cutscenes, but the cutscenes in Infinite Wealth are great.

It's really not Animal Crossing in my opinion. I guess there are some similarities, but it didn't exactly feel like that is what Sega was looking to parody. But to actually answer your question, everyone seems to consider it the best part of the game and finds it really addictive. I got there myself, but want to return to it later, like post-game and then really focus on it.

But yeah, the island, and pokemon parody, are completely insane. Just the level of detail and how much content is there between these two modes is wild. There was no reason to go this hard, but the devs did and I really appreciate that. These are not like minor side things, they could be full on games themselves.

The voice acting for FFX is fascinating given nobody knew how to translate JP voice acting to english on a major production like that yet.

Thanks for the responses. Something about these life sims are very soothing and it's cool they went hard on it instead of it being like some one off joke or something.

it's because when the original FFXIV 1.0 was down and before A Realm Reborn launched they made a recap video of the story (or maybe just the world-is-ending shutdown event?) and the player character in that video was named Meteor Survivor.

The meteor he survived is of course the Garlean Empire's "Project Meteor" which was the main driving force of the FFXIV 1.0 storyline afaik? Their plan was to drop the ancient cyber-moon Dalamud to the earth as a WMD and at the very end of the game they actually succeeded but in the process everything got all hosed up and it turned out it was an ancient prison for Bahamut who got out and destroyed the world and that's why the previous MMO is shut down now.
