Is it really iifa tree? Or Lifa tree?

ok people, it is Iifa. They would not spell things wrong in FF9. They would not forget to capitalize the i. But japanese words can be funky and for all I know it could be pronounced Ieefvia. But I am absolutely sure it is Iifa.

Iifa is pronounced "leefuh" as much as oddler is pronounced "fail".

I always thought that it was Lifa at first on my first playthrough until the end, but I realized that it's Iifa. By the way how are you all pronouncing it?

Iifa (eye-fa) Lifa (Lie-fa)?

Wait, it's pronounced eefa? And here I thought it had three syllables: I-i-fa (as in eye-if-a).

Iifa. 'Iifae' has something to do with mist in Latin. Soulcage was the mist maker remember?

Plus every area starts with a capital, if it didn't it'd be Lifa.

i usde to think it was Lifa when i was younger then i was on the game about two years ago and was like 'holy crap it's the Iifa tree!!! O.O' and i felt stupid, but i now call it the Iifa tree

Man, I was thinking about making this thread not long ago, but I have come to the decision it's iifa, I spent a long time comparing letters in speech, but it was(n't) worth it!

I call it Bob.

Iifa, but some people don't understand the concept of CAPITAL letters. But pesonally, I like the sound Lifa far more.

It looked like a capital I to me, and I couldn't see any reason why they wouldn't capitalize it.

QFT

At first I saw Lifa, Then realized it was Iifa, and just now I realized it said Iifa at the beginning instead of Tifa.

Productive. ^_^

If it was Lifa tree it would be capitalized and the L would be noticeable

Iifa is how it's pronounced but on first look in 2000 I thought it was Lifa.

They both sound almost the same anyway Iifa (eye-fa) Lifa (life-ah)

On another note I also thought it was 'Tifa' when I first saw it :jess:
