I could go on for a long time.
Tidus: "ti'- duhs"
Valefor: "vail'-fur"
Ifrit: "if'-rit"
Shiva: "she'-va" (our history books pretends that the hindu god is siva. I said that was BS and wrote it shiva on everything anyways. there was another word they should've used their reasoning on in the same manner but didn't. another lesson in why history class is stupid^_^)
Ixion: "ix'-ee-on"
Bahamut: two-- "ba'-[h]u-mut" or "buh-ha'-mut"

Steiner: "stii'-ner" (see Seifer)
Brahne: "brawn'y"
Eidolon: "aid'-a-lawn"
Rinoa: "rih-no'-ah" (I found a sound clip of someone saying this somewherex.X)
Seifer: "sy'-fer" (like cypher. see Steiner)
Renzokuken: "rens''-o-koo'-ken" (although I've spent a lot of time thinking about this one. "reh-n-zo-ku-ka-n" comes to mind. but that's hard so I stick with the first one^^)
Quistis: "kees'-tis"
Irvine: "ir'-vin"
Edea: "ih-dee'-ah"
Ellone: "el-own'"
Aeris: "air'-is"
Sephiroth: "sef'-ir-oth" (after one-winged angel, all ideas of "seh-fir'-uth" were banished, happily)
Tifa: "tih'-fa"
Yuffie: "yuff'-ee"
Celes: "stupidevilho" alternatively: "seh'-leez"
Kefka: "kef'-kah" (has anyone decided on keh-f'ah with f'ah filled in with the profanity
of your chosing?)
Narshe: "stupideveilmarsh" alternatively: "nar'-shay"
Galuf: "gal'-uf" (like gallop. but with more luf)
Rydia: "rid'-ee-ah"

Zid-ayn
Brahne:

Chocbo: (I used to say it like Strawberryman and Faith also)
Cho-ko-bo
Bahamut: (I'm wrong on mine.. its local dialect that screws this for me. No persecutions please)

Another controversial name:
Steiner: (Steiner is German and is pronounced as if it were German. I know people with this as their last name and they all say it like I do.)

"Quezacotl", the lightning-elemental GF from FFVIII, is sure to raise some controversy, since it's an abridgement of the real mythological name. That would be "Quetzalcoatl", which didn't fit because the GF names were limited to nine characters.

^ Which is pronounced "Ket-zahl-koo-ah-tul" ^
Exactly. The issue resides in the fact that some people probably pronounce the real name, while others say the abridged name. That's all.

Tidus: tee-dus
Valefore: val-for
Bahamut: buh-ha-mut
Ixion: ix-i-on
Yojimbo: yo-jim-bo, just the way it's spelled
for everyone who doesn't belive me...i beat the game and all of my friends that beat the game say the same thing.the wrong way:
Tidus: tie-dus (NO)
Valefore: vail-a-fore (NO)
Bahamut: baa-hah-moot (NO)
Ixion: ix-ee-on (NO)
Yojimbo: well,on one tried to explain it.
But those are the proper ways to say it.

I still think Tidus is a alternate spelling of Titus, and that kingdom hearts doesn't know what it's talking about^_^ or something.
Anyways, I'd get a demonologist to tell us how to say valefor, and a greek for ixion, after a bit of wikipediaing and pantheon.org-ing.

However there was a FFTA commercial aired on television that pronounced Ivalice like (E-vah-lees) and Marche like (Mar-shay) so, We're wrong technically, but I can live with being wrong.
