Thread: Technicks?

  1. #1

    Default Technicks?

    How do you pronounce technicks? I've heard people say it like "technics" and "techniques"- which is it?

    So...Magiques? Nay, a single "K" doesn't pull that much weight.

    Technically calling them techniques isn't wrong, however, pronouncing "Technicks" as "Techniques" is.

    I haven't played this game in a while (due to the lack of a PS2, so I'm sure you can forgive me), but if I remember right, FF12 is full of "incorrect spellings".

    I say "Tek-niks", though I know that they are exactly the same as Techniques, but are spelled and said differently to highlight the whole "It's a different world" thing (or that's why I think anyway). Kinda like the His Dark Materials words.

    Tek-niks, like Quin says. Just seems like the way they wanted it, with the crazy "K" thrown in there.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I pronounce it like the real word, but what I always wondered why they're in the game, I really don't use any of them except for Charge, Libra, and Steal. I would've used Shades of Black a lot more too, but most of the time when I use it it casts a low level black magic spell resulting in 0 points of damage to an enemy. The gambits to support them can also use a bit of work too.
