Pronunciations of the Whole "-ra -ga -ja" Spell Trees.

[ReloadPsi]

I had a dyslexic friend who kept saying "Fiagra".

If there are only two syllables, I emphasise the first one like so:
FAI-ra

Then the middle one if there's three:
Fai-RA-ga

So according to that, I then go:
Thun-DA-ga (Actually I say the Japanese "Sandagaa" because I think it sounds hilarious but that's irrelevant at this point)
HASTE-ga (two syllables for me; "haste" and "ga")
Pro-TECT-ga

...and so on.

It seems to be generally agreed on here that "ga" is pronounced like the "g" in dog and not the "g" in "gem", which makes sense because "a" is a hard vowel, not a soft vowel ("e" and "i" are soft vowels). This is further hammered home by the presence of "ja" level spells.

Of course the French version of FF8 makes it easier by just saying "Cure, Cure+, Cure Max" and so on. Of course FF8 had no level four spells so I've no idea what level four ones are called.
