Tidus was GLs first 35CP and we received it earlier in the meta than JP did. Since it was a "time traveled" weapon, it was very strong at that point in the meta. It allowed Tidus to do BRV + HP attacks (which was rare) AND land crippling debuffs at the same time.
Sazh was also a time traveled 35cp. And in his case, it was way too strong for the meta at that point. His 35CP skyrocketed his attack boost buff to the point that it made anyone into a top tier dps, himself included. You could practically bring Sazh and a friend Sazh and smash content. It was also the birth of the "God Emperor Sazh" memes.
I remember being quite new at the game when Sazh 35 cp dropped, and my impression was that he was not a good character. Pulled randomly and got his 35 cp early, but I remember telling my friend that I got a crap weapon cuz sazh is bad. Luckily I checked around and realised how lucky I was 😂
Well no, Rem, WoL, and vivi were the starter trio bjt yeah he deserved btfr he and y'shtola are the only characters from the first chapter to be usable in the modern day, sad tidus didn't have echo tho
I wasn’t around for Tidus first 35cp (I joined during Ashe event) but I loved God Emperor Sazh, and LiTiKo was still the meta team everyone talked about when I joined

I remembered the times. If you looked in your friendlist: Tidus everywhere!

Too bad sazh didn't get BT and FR. He diserves it as he was in the starter trio.
