Pronunciation

[Vyk]

I always pronounced it wrong until recently. I honestly hate a lot of romanization of Japanese words. If we're going to write in American-ese, why not write in a way that American/English speakers would natively and instinctually know how to pronounce it? Why have pronounced E on the end of Anime? Why use a G for a J sound? When I was learning Japanese for a short while, I had a friend who was completely fluent in Japanese and Mandarin and I'd always have fake rants about this stuff. I guess there's a historical reason, when they were matching up all the symbols to our sounds, things like this just sorta happened. But gawd, it would have made the whole Tidus and Aerith thing a lot more palatable if they'd done it properly in the romanization
