There's been a lot of pronounciation topics springing up lately, but I wanted to find out the most common way to say "Beatrix" Here are a few of the pronounciations that I have come up with.
The "trix" I pronounce like "tricks"
-Beee--aahh-trix (I presonally use this one)
- Beee--uhh--trix (the two are similar I know)
-Bayy---aahh-trix
-Bee---uhh---trice (as in tree, and as in ice)
-Bayy----uh---trice
...And that's all that I could come up with, with my dialect. With that established...how do YOU pronouce "Beatrix"? Oddly enough, I find it hard to stay with one pronoucation entirely and tend to swap back and forth between say....bee--uhh-trice and bee--aa--trix. Does this happen to anyone else?
It is also unknown why Beatrix wears a white eye patch that covers her left eye (I think). Well I admit its a sexy look coupled with her stunning brown hair...it doesn't really seem to serve a purpose that I know of. It doesn't seem to be the type of cloth that would conceal a gapping eye wound/glass eye or something of that sort. But instead I find it to be more of a style sort of thing. Perhaps her training could be/was heightened with the use of one eye. She might of been more in turn with her surroundings and could easily adapt to environments and opponents around her (as odd as that sounds). Not to mention she could brag about her talent with using only one eye. Regardless, it definately makes her stand out as a character. Who can remember the last Final Fantasy Character who wore an eyepatch? And I definately doubt there are any other females fitting this criteria.
Finally, I'd like for Beatrix to have a cameo/be a playable character in the upcoming PSP Final Fantasy title : Dissida. Does anyone else agree that she would look absolutely stunning if she was remastered (with next-gen graphics and whatnot)?
