And so was Jecht in his normal human form before becoming Braska's Final Aeon.
Think about it for a minute. Yu Yevon has been summoning Dream Zanarkand for 1000 years. Tidus was probably a real person once who lived in the real Zanarkand 1000 years ago. He was in all likelihood killed during the war with Bevelle. At any rate, Tidus is not a real person in the present timeline of FFX. Dream Zanarkand and Sin are basically giant Aeons, or possibly one big Aeon unto itself, and therefore an element of that Aeon such as Tidus/Jecht are basically mini-Aeons. Dream Zanarkand does not exist inside Sin mind you, it is said to exist somewhere out at sea near Baaj temple before Sin's final defeat.
The Bahamut Fayth in Bevelle (little dark-skinned kid in a hood) tells Tidus that he is a "dream of the Fayth." It's no different than if they made a permanent character in your party called Shiva, and gave her dialogue, personality, and story interaction (in FFVI the Espers/Magicite can and do talk a little bit). In that case Shiva would be both a summoned creature and a character in your party simultaneously, which is what Tidus basically is throughout the game. Essentially a "rogue" summoned creature who ultimately brought down his very summoner, Yu Yevon.
So in that other poll that asks who your favorite summoned creature is, methinks Tidus should have been included on the list, although most people wouldn't think of Tidus as being a summoned creature. In such a poll I would vote for Tidus hands down. Quite possibly the most sophisticated summoned beast of all time, with a plethora of equippable swords. He can cast Haste on himself, Slow on you, and then Quick Hit you to death 10 times before you could even act.
I have always had fantasies about an FFX-3 game where Yuna literally summons Tidus like she would summon Valefor. You would see this big opening sequence like you see whenever you summon an Aeon. Like Tidus would rise from a pool of water and do the Jecht Shot, and then come on the battlefield. In analogy, Yuna would be the "sorceress" and Tidus her "knight." Paine and Rikku would go into reserve obviously while you summoned Tidus to kill the dingo cause it's got high evasion.
