Pronounciation of "Bikke"

[Evastio]

I say "bik" with a short I sound.

[scrumpleberry]

Beekay

Very quick, I don't lengthen either of the vowels much.

[ReloadPsi]

I never discuss the game out loud (none of my friends like the game; some of them even go so far as to call the PSone and the N64 "primitive" and "crap"), so I only ever actually read the names and never think about how I'm gonna say 'em.

[Flying Mullet]

I prefer bike.

If I had "friends" like that, I would discontinue all friendly relations with them. But that's just because I'm a nerd.

[Rengori]

I've always said it like "Bic," like the pen

I've always said it that way too. But I always think of lighters instead of pens.

I've considered it to be "Beek" for about 16 years now. I will not be swayed.

Yep. It all boils to the way I read it when I first played the game.

The correct pronounciation is whatever makes you the happiest.

True.

[Psychotic]

I say Bik-ke. Bikky.

Right on the money!

I generally think of it as "Beek" also, but I never actually had a reason to say it out loud.

What, so you English guys actually PRONOUNCE a final "e" sometimes?

I thought you constantly went "the word ends with an e, so let's omit the letter altogether, as usual".

In english words, that is the case.

However, in final fantasy, a game developed in Japan, many of these names are created by japanese programmers/writers, and some english speaking people would rather attempt to pronounce the name in Japanese.

Hence, they pronounce the e on the end of Bikke as "ee" or "ay", or however they think its pronounced in Japanese, or however they see fit.

I say bick. or at least I say it in my head. I don't know if I've ever spoken aloud about FF1 in my life. Well, actually I have, but that was to discuss how to pronounce GrOgre.
