How do you personally pronounce these names???
Tidus-----------T-eye-dus
Seifer-----------Seff-er
Raijin-----------Rah-jhin
Fujin-----------Few-jhin
Balthier--------Bahl-thee-air
and a few others I can't think of.
Its just I've heard other people say Seifer as Safe-er and on the Beyond Final Fantasy disc you get with FFX, Tidus' voice actor says Tee-dus. So, what do you guys say?
Tide us (I know its wrong but i dont care)
Scyther (like the pokemon)
Rage in or ray gin
Fuu gin
I pronounce Balthier same as they do in the game
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Tai Dus
Seefer
Ray Jin
Few Jin
Quiz Tis (I heard it's supposed to be Keystis)
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
Tie-dus. (I don't play kingdom hearts games, so Tee-dus means nothing to me.)
Sigh-fer
Rye-Jin
Foo-jin
Bal-thee-air

Sigh-furr
Rye-jin

Here's some others that I've seen confused:
Tifa - Tee-fah,
Aeri - Ay-ris
Lucrecia - Loo-cre-tzee-ah,
Refia - Reh-fee-ah,
Rydia - Rye-dee-ah,
Krile - Krill-eh,
Celes - Cell-ess,
Quistis - Quiss-tiss,
Zidane - Zid-ayne.
Tidus - T-eye-dus (in KH I, it's pronounced Tee-dus. But in KHII, it's pronounced this way).
Seifer - SIGH-fer
Raijin - R-eye-jin
Fujin - Foo-jin
Balthier - (like in the game) Ball-theer
Tifa - Tee-fuh
Aeris/th- heiress
Lucrecia- Loo-crech-ee-uh
Rydia - Rid-ee-uh
Celes- Suh-less
Quistis- Key-stis (I've heard that this is closer to the correct pronunciation of the name than Quiss-tis, because the name is French in origin...I think).
Zidane- Zi-don
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VII: DoC, VII: CC, VIII, X, X-2, XII, KH, KH:CoM, Re:CoM, KHII, CT

I used to pronounce Tidus as (tight-us) which is too close to a derogatory term. Now it's just tee-dus.
I used to prounounce Seifer as safer, but when I learned it sounded more like sy-fah, I started calling him Cipher.
I've always called Raijin and Fujin (ry-jinn) and (foo-jinn).
I call Balthier (ball-th'ear).
Personally, I disapprove of the DoC pronunciation of Lucrecia being (loo-cret-see-ah).
I also disapprove of the pronunciation of Brother. lol.
Where in II do you hear the name Tidus?
I used to call Rydia (rid-ee-ah), but now I use ree-jah.
I typically pronounce Quistis as kwiss-tus but that keys-tus sounds intriguing.

i use the Japanese pronunciation rules identical to White Wizard's use except for Zidane which i pronounce more closely as "Zee-dahn"... it always irked me when ppl would say Tie-dus, Tif-uh, or Yuh-fee, those names are Japanese use the right pronunciation rules, of course Quistis isn't a Japanese name so it is pronounced Quiss-tiss same for Seifer pronounced identical to Cypher both names are European in origan so they are to be pronounced with European pronunciation rules, Seifer using German Pronunciation rules and Quistis using English...
basic japanese pronunciation of vowel sounds are as follows:
a -ah
i - ee
u - somewhere between ooh & uh
e - eh
o -oh

Tidus, Tifa, and Yuffie aren't real Japanese names. And the correct pronunciation of Quistis is "kis-tis."
Tidus-----------Tie-does
Seifer-----------Sy-fer
Raijin-----------Ray-gin
Fujin-----------Few-gin
Balthier---------Bahl-fear
I usually pronounce them how I read them.
Tye-dus
Seff-er
Ray-jin
Few-jin
Bal-thee-er
Tiff-ah
Yuff-ee
Loo-cree-shah
Rye-dee-ah
Seh-less (Celes)
Kwiss-tiss
Zid-ayne
Cry-lee or sometimes Cry-el (Krile)
loo-crays-eah
Asha (for like 5 minutes before i realised its Ash)
...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...Remember that well.
