[* White Aeris *]

Valefor= hat-man
but really i pronance them like you do.

[DynasticJam]

So what's the point to this thread then, may I ask?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

just personal curiosity really. it started out wen by brother sed he thort valefor was pronounced vail-for insted of val-a-for like i thought. then i thought "is there any other wierd ones?" so i checked it out and there were. i decided to post them just to get a 2nd opinion really.

oh btw, ive noticed that tidus' weapons have funny names. the one that made me laugh the most was razzmatazz. i laughed for like an hour! :D

[GunbladeMaster]

hey that is also a drink!

Stratoavis: STRAT-o-avis ir strat-O-vis
Catoblepas: ca-TOH-bul-pas or cat-o-ble-pas
Nega elemental: neg-a or nE-ga
Th'uban: tu-ban or thu-ban
shinryu: I think it's shiin-ree-uu, but it might be shi-N-rye-uu
omega weapon: Have a preacher read to you from Revelations :)
onion kinght: It's like the vegetable.

[Cruise Control]

Onion Knight- O-nigh-on night

I definitely don't say it like the veggie, like Orion (the constellation), but different.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

Nega elemental: ne-ga
Th'uban: tiu-ban
shinryu: shin-rie-oo

[Black Angel]

I bet u looked these up in the most strangest dictionary ever!

[Yliette]

One more! Tidus is pronounced as "Tee-duss" although many pronounce it as "Tie-dus"

[* White Aeris *]

i always call him Tee-dus but i think Tie-dus sounds nicer and cuter.

[GunbladeMaster]

my aunt pronouned it Tie-duss

i pronouce it

Ti (i as in It)-duss

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

i pronounce it tie-dus

[xX.Silver.Wings.Xx]

Tie Dus...
My bro says it like "Tiddus"

[Markus. D]

i really hated when i found out how to properly pronounce tidus.

i thought it was tide-us, but its more like tid-is (kingdom hearts)

[Rhi]

well, the japanese pronunciation would be tee-dus, but the american would be tie-dus, but i call him tie-dus cause it sounds cuter

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

I used to say Tie-Dus, but then when I played Kingdom Hearts, I found out it was tee-dus, which sounds like s* but whatever

[Rhi]

thats because they're saying it in the japanese pronunciation, which could be the 'proper' way to say it but the americans would say it tie-dus if they saw it, so would many of us british

[DarkLord]

Tie-dus! Teedus sounds like someone screaming! ???
My brother's pronunciation:
Valefor-Gordon
Ixion -Wugwug
Shiva -Porno Woman

[Vyk]

Isn't there a Greek/Roman named Titus? That's probably why I pronounce it Tie-dus.

Shinryu (Shin-ree-you) means divine dragon judgement

Whats funny is that in Street Fighter the movie, Guile kept saying it wrong, RYE-you.

trust me i know these names, im asian ;)

[Vyk]

It was that way in the American cartoon too. I pronounced it wrong forever, myself. The Street Fighter anime set us all straight. But that's to be expected. It was a kazillion times better than either

[obsessed_wif_yuna]

hey you can also pronounce omega weapon : O - mE - ga

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

gud point. ive always thought it was o-may-ga tho. btw if anyones got any other wierd ones then feel free to input :D

[Little Blue]

Has anyone put these through one of those crappy voice synthesisers that are available. I've just put Tidus in (which I pronounce Tie-dus), and it says Tie-de-us. Quite amusing I thought, I'll put the others through later...

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

omega weapon is definately o-meh-guh... o-mE-guh sounds really wierd.... so does may-guh

Valefor- Vail-for
Tidus- Ty- dus
Ixion- icks- eee- on
Catoblepas-... i pronounce this wierd.... Cat-ob-el-piss

how do you say yojimbo?
like yo-jim-bo
or yaw-jim-bo?

onion knight i think is like the vegetable... idk i always thought he kinda looked like an onion... O_O

seymour says anima really awkwardly... is it anima as in anime but with an uh at the end or is it anima as in ah-nee-mah

[Little Blue]

I always say:
Omega: o-meg-a
Valefor: vail-for
Tidus: Tie-dus (as i said earlier)
Ixion: icks-e-on
Catoblepas: I have always said this as cat-a-lopez, dunno why
Yojimbo: yo-jim-bo
Onion: as in the vegetable
Anima: an-i-ma (i as in "it")

[SoulTaker*]

You can find most of the pronunciations of these online, since they are names that are based off Greek and Norwegian stories, like Ixion (ik·sye'·un) who's name is based of of a guy that zues punished for attempting to sleep with Hera. His offspring with a fake hera gave berth to the Centaurs note the horse appearance of Ixion. And Valefor is a king of demons in hell, name pronounced Vah-leh-for. Catoblepas is actually based off the wildebeast, greek legend has that it breaths mist that turnes you into stone, but for the life of me I cant find any pronunciation online, but I think
cat-a-lopez works best.:D

I also have a friend named Titus in tie, I dont know how Tidus is pronounced Tee dus in englis.

[Renmiri]

i always call him Tee-dus but i think Tie-dus sounds nicer and cuter.

Tee-dus in this FFX promotional video here (I believe it is the official one)

No offence, but this thread is pretty pointless.
