The difference however lies in the fact that Tidus didn't die and he didn't die hurling defiance at Yevon.
I think that Auron's death is something that affects his character. If you make it so that never happened to Auron, it changes the sort of person he is. If you bring Auron back from the dead, on the other hand, supposing that he still died once and was sent once, just like in the game, it's still different than Tidus, who was, potentially, never alive in the first place.
I mean, I don't understand any more than anyone else how Tidus *does* come back when apparently the fayth have stopped dreaming him. I really don't understand why he ended up on the Farplane in the first place if he was never really real. But the circumstances of his disappearance are more mysterious than Auron's. Resurrecting a character who actually died would be a difficult thing to do, I think, without it just seeming silly. I don't think that doing so would cheat anyone or 'ruin the pre-existing story.' It's just more a matter of could anyone write it sensibly and believably.
