Libra is pronounced...

Well on the FF wiki they give the romaji as "raibura" which means the pronunciation, lie-bruh comes from "library" and not the scales, lee-bruh.

How many of you knew that? I only just found out and it blew my damn mind.

Forgot to give my own answer: I still keep saying "lee-bruh" despite being someone who consistently checks Japanese pronunciation when he's not sure. Saying that I also still say "Kwistis" instead of "Keestis" because I think it's a hilarious-sounding name.

[Jinx]

Oh well. I still say lee-bruh.

Same as may-ko, and heir-iss.

[Jiro]

Nope, smurf that. Lib, pronounced like the word "bib", and ra, pronounced like the "ru" in "run". I don't care that it's wrong, it's my way of differentiating between the astrological sign for master race octobros and the ability. The "official" pronunciation is jarring and ugh super unattractive as a word.

I thought it came from libro, which is book in Spanish.

I actually think I am constantly alternating between all three ways....

[Sephex]

It makes sense. Still going to pronounce it wrong because I AM A REAL AMERICAN! FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT OF EVERY MAN!

leebruh, don't care what the wiki says.

I thought it was pronounced the everyone pronounces the Constellation.

In this rare case, I have to say the Japanese pronunciation is flat out stupid. They were just afraid that pronouncing the "i" as "ee" would sound too Japanese and thus not exotic enough for their local fanbase. And "Keestis" is an effing stupid name too. I always pronounced it "kwistis" because the "kwi" at the beginning reminded me she was a card queen.

I remember hearing about this before. I know that its origin was from the word library, but I think that it is too difficult for most people to disassociate that word part with an identical looking astrological sign.

I did it with Tidus. I can do it with Libra.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, Teedus is also stupid.

[VeloZer0]

The fact that Tidus's name is never spoken once in the entirety of FF10. Necessitated by the fact you can change your name or just withheld because it sounds so stupid? You decide.
