I kinda like spelling Japanese names of video game characters, so... well...
I've found out about some of the FF chars from Japanese emulators (and some Youtube videos), but I can't be assed to play through them until the other chars appear.
This is what I've got so far:
Garland = Ga-rando
Cecil = Seshiru
Kain = Kain
Rosa = Ro-za
Rydia = Rideija
Edge = Etsuji
Zeromus = Zeromusu
Sephiroth = Sefuirosu
Tidus = Tee-da
Yuna = Yuuna
Wakka = Waaka
Sin = Shin
Do you know of anything else? :D
reno-reno
lol
denzel-denzeru ?
I prefer the english translations:D
These are my personal guesses:
Frioniel = Furioonieru
Maria = Mariia
Guy = Gaiyu
Lionheart = Layonharuto
Edward = Giruberuto
Yang = Yangu
FuSoYa = Fu-So-Ya-
Cloud = Keroudo
Barret = Ba-reto
Tifa = Teefua
Aeris = A-risu
Red XIII = Re-do XIII
Yuffie = Yu-fui
Cait Sith = Kayuto Si-to
Squall = Sukua-ru
Quistis = Kuissutesu
Seifer = Se-ifueru
Rinoa = Ri-noa
Zell = Zerru
Irvine = I-ruwainu
Yeah.
Look the characters up on either Wikipedia or the FF Wiki. Ta-da!
I know that translating the word 'squall' and entering it into a google.jp search is a good way to find awesome fanart.
Butz.
I know absolutely nothing except Arisu=AliceQuote:

I would say it's probably "Gorubezu" or "Gorubezo".Quote:

The fan translation had it down as "Golbeze". That's hardly conclusive, but I'm wondering if it could have read "gorubizu" (Golbeez) or "gorubeezu/gorubeizu" (Golbayz) in Japanese instead...Quote:

It's Gorubeeza. Golbeza.
Note that "bee" in Japanese notation sounds more like the English word bay than bee. Likewise, "roo" is more like "row your boat" than "rue the day." And so on.

I doubt Square intended for that to become the correct English spelling though and would be unsurprised if someday they suddenly decided it was something else like they did with Aeris/Aerith.

I missed that while proofreading Zexy's stuff. The correct name is actually Furioniiru--Frioniel.

Wait a friggin' second, "Ming Wu"?
That name appears in Chocobo Racing as the man who sealed the Magicite away in Fantasia where all the Espers lived! And he came from Mysidia!
In other words, I was almost right. I just forgot that the "be" should have been "bee". :shifty:Quote:
