The name "Quistis"

OK.I read somewhere that Square-Enix has stated that the name "Quistis" is of French origin and is pronounced KEY-stis.Not KWI-stis,which I always say.

So I was just wondering how everyone pronounced her name?

KWI-stis. But I'm not bothered being wrong.

I always pronounced it the same way...

...but you made me wonder so I looked it up. Questa is a French girls name meaning searcher and the "qu" combination is pronounced as "k". :O_O:

First Seifer and now Questis. Whose name am I going to mispronounce next? How do you say Rinoa anyway?

Kwi-stis


Rih-no-ah

Ok lets go through ALL of them. In no particular order:
Kwis-tis
Say-fer or, as I always say, Se-fer
Rih-noh-ah
Sell-fee
Ed-ee-ah
Skwall
Lah-goo-nah
Kye-ros
Ward (surely no-one needs help with that)
Zell (come ON, people!)
Err-vyne
Add-ell
Ull-ti-mee-see-ah

WTf is keystis? Its obviously kwi-stis.

Kwi-sts
Sigh-fur
Rin-oh-ah
La-gun-ah/La-goon-ah (I pronounce it both)
Kigh-rows

Everything else is pretty self-explanatory.

I usually pronounce it as Kwis-tis.......I'm pretty sure it's actually pronounced as Quest-is though.....

Whether or not that key-stis thing is true, I've always pronounced it as kwis-tis.

Wasn't there already a thread on Quistis' pronunciation? Maybe it just got old, or something.

I'm sticking with Kwis-tis because it sounds better than whatever the hell you're trying to say.

Sk-wall (Squall)
Rin-oh-uh (Rinoa)
Zell. Yeah, Zell.
Sel-fee (Selphie)
Err-vin (Irvine)
See-fer (Seifer)
Ed-ay-uh (Edea)
Oh-deen (Odine)
Ay-ohn (Ellone)

Anything else?

Kwin-uh (Quina, hah.)

God....who thought of using names with weird pronounciations in a pure text game?

I say Kwis-tis, but thats just me

I DO say Ay-ohn for Ellone. ell = ay. Same for the word Paella.

It's because Squenix is a Japanese company. So of course they are going to have strange names, plus the fact that they have to be translated to English.

They usually change the named things into something more recognizable for American and Europeans. They do it horribly on animes............

because of different languages amd ways we pronounce thing, there is no single correct name. E.G. in FF7 i thought reno was pronounced renno and yuffie was pronounced yuff-ee. but in japanese those letters in that position have long sounds so its ree-no and you-fee. but that doesnt neccasarily make me wrong. i guess their original name pronunciation is the right one though.

who cares shes weak and she sucks lol
