Names in KH2...

[Dark Messenger]

I noticed that they don't actually say Aerith's or Tifa's names... (as far as I know, I haven't fought the final battle yet, that's all I got left, but I'm training for Sephiroth and stuff). And it bugs me one Tifa is said:

"Tifa" or "Teefa"... I always say "Tifa".

[McLovin']

Cloud says "Teefa's" name after you defeat Sephiroth.

[Sefie1999AD]

Yes, there's a line when Cloud says "Tee-fa! Stay back!" in KH2. I've always pronounced Tifa's name Tee-fa, and I think Advent Children also pronounces her name that way (at least the Japanese version). I don't think Aeris/Aerith's name has ever been pronounced in a Square Enix title, though.

[McLovin']

Wrong.

Space Paranoids:

Sora: Great!

Tron: So who's this Cid?

Sora: He's a friend of ours. Leon, Merlin, Aerith, Yuffie... They're all on the outside worrying about you, Tron.

Tron: I must have a lot of User friends.

[Ozmoid]

There is a definite way to decide aeriths name:
If you think ff7's antagonist is Sephiroth, her name must be Aerith.
If you think it's Sefiros, it's Aeris. In Japanese ther is a consonant that can be either S or TH, which explains why some asian people lisp. There's also oe that can be l or R. nuff said.

[dragontamer]

THAT does clear the air,SC.
ive never understood why some people called her aerith, and others,Aeris!!
:D

[Sefie1999AD]

Sora: He's a friend of ours. Leon, Merlin, Aerith, Yuffie... They're all on the outside worrying about you, Tron.

Cool. How is Aeris/Aerith's name pronounced there?

[McLovin']

I think it was like we all imagined it. "Air - e(i)th."

I would have to play to that part again and frankly I never want to play KH2 again. ^_^

[Jus_like_Rikku!!]

I'd have to play it again as well... i don't know how to ponounce Aerith... but sometimes i say it like "Ay-reth" :D

[Mercen-X]

I'm not sure anymore whether I'm happy with games that include voice-acting. I don't care if they're words don't synch up with the character's mouths like some idiots who complain about them. I just wish I had the chance again to play a game and be the rare one who pronounced their names correctly without hearing it spoken.

In FF7, I called Aeris "air-eez" because I pronounced Tifa "tee-fa."
I haven't heard Red XIII's real name spoken allowed. I used to call him "nuh-NAH-key" and now I call him "Nah-Nah-key."
I think when I first saw her name I called Yuffie "Yuff-ee." I might have heard her name spoken sometime after and started calling her "You-fee." Pronouncing her name would have been easier if it had been Yuufie. lol

Am I the only one who originally called Seifer "Safer?" When I read somewhere that his name sounded more like "sigh fah," I just started calling him "Cypher."

Name's like Edea (E-D, I think) and Adelbert (Adel-bert?) still put a MGS-style question mark floating over my head.

[Zeromus_X]

Tifa = Tifa

Aerith= Aerith

...What's so hard? :confused: :cat:

[No.78]

In Kingdom Hearts it's Air-ith, everywhere else it's air-ess.

[Ouch!]

Edea (E-D, I think)
I always went with Ee-dee-uh.

[Dynast-Kid]

Edea (E-D, I think)
I always went with Ee-dee-uh.

Yeah me too.

I think the real question is:

How do you pronounce,Zell?

(Ze-L)

(Zee-L)

(Z-L)

(Zay)-As in the Spanish language where two Ls make an AY sound.

[Ouch!]

Zell, short e. Like the pronunciation of the letter l with a z tacked on the front. It's a real name. There's some American politician with the name. Ex-senator or something to that effect. I can't remember.

[Dynast-Kid]

O rly?

Thanks! :D

[Ozmoid]

Seifer's a tricky one. It should probably be Safer, but i use sigh-fer.
Edea is probably Eh-dee-ah. Zell is a real world name, and is pronounced Zehl. I think his last names is pronounced Dinched.
How do you pronounce Namine?

[Ryushikaze]

In Kingdom Hearts it's Air-ith, everywhere else it's air-ess.

No, in the badly translated FF7, It's Air-ess, everywhere else, including a number of copies of the english FF7, it's Air-ith.
