Zidane's last name

[Acid Raine]

Since FF last names are never actually said in-game (except for Steiner and Garnet), we've always had to rely on official sources. Well, all official sources gave Zidane's surname is "Tribal"

So I was wondering, is it said like the word tribal (try-bull)? Ive always pronounced it like "tree ball", with the stress on the first syllable.

Thoughts?

I pronounce it how it looks. Like "tribal."

[TheSpoonyBard]

I say try-ball, like the word tribal. I guess he's got that name because he's from from a 'tribe' of Genomes.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

トライバル

Just like the word "tribal," yes.

[Polnareff]

I just say it as "tribal," like the tribal council on Survivor. :p

Apparently his name is supposed to be based off the word "tzigane" or something so that's why they gave him that last name. Might be wrong though.

[XxSephirothxX]

Yeah, I always just assumed it would be pronounced just like the word Tribal. :p

[Twilight Edge]

Tribal. As in Tribal Council.

ive always just gone with how its spelled

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

I've always used the english pronunciation of the word.

I pronounce Zidane's last name just like the word "tribal". I wonder if that's his last name because he's one of the Tantalus crew or because he's a Genome. As far as I know, Zidane was raised by the Tantalus, but I don't think they know about his origins.

No they didn't. At least not until he tells them at the end of the game which we don't see but I'm sure he does.

I used the Swedish pronounciation, which basically is ['tribal]. :p

i just never said it...cause it didn't matter.

[Cezanzo]

but you know, those japanese (sp?) words can be pretty funky sometimes. :mog:

[VengefulRonin]

Tribal, as in...a tribe of natives...and somehow it always made me think of a tribe in africa or something, because zidane had a tail, so maybe he belonged to a hybrid human-monkey tribe in africa.

[IsntFFIXGrand]

It's Tribal. If it was "Tree-bal" it would be either Trïbal or Triball.

Tribal.......hmmm quite a weird name for a gaia or terra citizen.

ftw^

well, since watching my XII extras DVD and hearing someone pronounce Zidane "zih-DAYNE" why not call him "zih-DAYNE" "trih-BULL"? Just for consistency's sake.

Tribal, as in "try-bull" Still, kinda weird last name....
