[daggertrepe]

Wow a week ago I went to one of those with my family. :love:

[King-Killer]

Quistis (Keystis)??

You went to that other tread didn't you Dagger Trepe?

I pronouce it Quis-tis
since that's her name...

And yea, I know that KEY-tis could be the french version.
But hell, if that were the case, I'd call Squall Rafael.
Because Squall means Rafale in French, and the french name for him would be Rafael.

Anyway, not to judge you or anything, just saying how I say it.

I pronounce Seifer Sai-fer, well...
Ever played Ace Combat Zero? Your name is Cipher, well I say his name the same way.

That's all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quistis_Trepe

It's clearly pronounced (Key-stis)

[Shiny]

I know, but Quest-is is how I choose to pronounce it.

[King-Killer]

[Quistis's name is reportedly of French derivation and is pronounced "KEY-stis".]

Like I said, it's a french derivation and most people call it ''Key-stis''
But there's no K in Qu...
And one question, are you french, if so, try saying Squall in french...
(:lol: it's a little funny.)
Know what I mean?

omg I loved every minute of it!!! :heart: :jess: [except waiting on lines sometimes...:mad:] Those water slides are sooo much fun!!! :D

I don't care if it's French or not. We're in America. [well most of us are]

I've always pronounced it Kwis-tis and I seriously think that's the real way to say it. :moomba:

The kana for Quistis' name is something like (doesn't remember 100%) Kisutisu, which leads to the 'KEY-stis' pronunciation.

I used to call it 'Qwi-stis' before, but we all used to say 'Yuf-fee'. :cat:

Irvine: Er-vine
Edea: Is it Edee-a? That's how I've pronounced it. I'd have to wait and see though.
Kiros: Key-ros
Adel: Ah-dell

The rest I either forgot about or are obvious.
