Asura.Thanquol said: Genbu is not pronounced jen-boo, but actually lol-jen-boo. I have always pronounced Genbu as Gen-boo (With a G like in Gary.) For most NMs, just google their names. Looking up how to pronounce mythological creatures takes an amazing 4 seconds. Hell, there's a Tagalog-named NM somewhere in there.
Stuff like Bahamut CAN be tricky though. It's pretty clear FF's Bahamut is based off of Dungeons and Dragons version, rather than the Arabic whale one. So you might have to look at multiple sources. Phoenix.Ailoki said: Asura.Bartimaeus said: I pronounce hagun the completely wrong way in my head. The right way sounds HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. :) Had a friend call the "huh-GUN." I've always called it "HA-gun." lol "huh-GUN." sounds like huggin xD Phoenix.Ingraham said: For most NMs, just google their names.

Thought he was a giant fish, rather than a whale? Phoenix.Kojo said: Phoenix.Ingraham said: For most NMs, just google their names.

Only Bahamut could swim. /nod Phoenix.Ailoki said: A few that's always bugged me on Skype. Haidate. Pretty simple Japanese. "hi-DAH-tay" Had a few people in my shell say it like "HAY-date" Byakko. "by-AH-koh" Had someone say something along the lines of Byakoko, or something. This shell had a drinking problem. Suzaku. "soo-ZAH-koo" Head it pronounced "SOO-zuh-koo" I don't really nag people for not saying Seiryu with the d because I know a lot of people who literally can't say it like that. "BAH-ha-moot" bugs me. I've always said "ba-HA-mut" Silly Americans, it's not "tay" when it's "te" at the end. Phoenix.Kojo said: I have always pronounced Genbu as Gen-boo (With a G like in Gary.) Like it should be.

I've always said "ba-HA-mut" It seems to be a matter of accent. American = -tay. Japanese = -te. Mamool Ja.
Mamool Ja. That one was easy. Cactuar
Cack-tew-are heard it pronounced Cack-twar as well. Lamia? La-me-ah is how I pronounce it. Phoenix.Slytribal said: Phoenix.Kojo said: Phoenix.Ingraham said: For most NMs, just google their names.

Tifa - Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-fffaaaaa

Zilart-related stuff is weird too. Anyone know if their names have any cultural basis or if they're just randomly made up crap?
Seems like someone just mashed the keyboard and added an apostrophe to get their names.

Who cares? At the end of the day, it's just a game. Why worry about something so trivial? I really don't like the actual names of some places in the game anyway. Because of this I've added my own personal names. La Theine Plateau = "La-Tha-Neen Plateau" Sauromugue Champaign = "Sorrow-Mong Champaign" Valefor.Slipispsycho said: Vrtra? I say it Ver-trah I say Vir-tra, or Veer-tra. Also.. Jormungand. I pronounce Yor-mung-and-er. (despite the absence of the R.) I'm incapable of pronouncing most English words correctly... and I'm born and raised here in America (I have an auditory processing disorder so just get these things wrong time after time after time... I tend to pronounce things exactly as they are spelled, even if I've heard it 'correctly' a million times)
Its one reason I absolutely abhor using vent or skype... can't stand trying to pronounce these things, or listening to others... it just sounds soooo weiiird and wrooooong XD Seraph.Caiyuo said: I'm getting so good at picking out Beel threads before even clicking which also means either your game is slippin' or you're aiming for consistency. Haha. When I clicked into this thread, the first thing that came to mind was 'This has to be a thread by Beel' because of the title. I will admit it's funny to see how his threads play out. Ah! Fafnir. I've caused arguements in Vent before, because I pronounce it 'Fahf-nur'.

Seems like someone just mashed the keyboard and added an apostrophe to get their names. Gustav Tunnel Kuftal Tunnel I'm going for Russian here. Mjollnir = Myoll-nur
Gungnir = Goonj-nur Fenrir.Anberlin said: I really don't like the actual names of some places in the game anyway. Because of this I've added my own personal names. ^ This! Hessie-voot is the correct pronunciation of my name.
j/k I'm from Iowa, we say it how it looks. Except Roof (Ruuf) and Creek (Crick). Aquilo's Staff = A-Key-oh! Somebody help me with Khimaira! I've always said "Kie-mare-uh" Gjallarhorn = G-horn. Too hard to pronounce. |
