I have no problem with people using the Japanese names if they're so inclined, but it doesn't make the proper pronunciation of the English names wrong.

inb4 Tie-dus

I've always pronounced it "na-NAH-key".

Nay-nay-keye.

I dislike (but understand) the "lisp", since it's how one would pronounce a "th" at the end of a name, even though the "th" should, apparently, be ignored.

But I don't see how anyone has any trouble with Terra. I mean, how hard is it? It's not a language problem, it's not as though it's even a unique word. It's simple English.

Terra's name was Tina in Japan. I assume he means that some people still say Tina.

You're a pleb unless you go by the Japanese names. Everyone knows that Cyan's REAL name is Cyanideoradeiroth.

yeah, my post was a commentary on how uppity some people get about pronouncing/spelling the name "THE WAY THAT THE CREATORS INTENDED OMGZOMGZ JAPAN KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIII~~ ^_^"

And that's why I decided to run with it. I have no problem if someone prefers their game content to be in original Japanese, but when a player gets anal and expects everyone else to conform to their standards/actually thinks they are smarter or better than someone because of very minor details in a video game, then there's a problem.

There is not a single thing wrong in posting that in a thread asking "how do you pronounce".

I switch between na-NAH-key, and Nah-na-key. I prefer Nah-na-key, because the former sounds so close to "Knockey! Knockey!"
