EE-lo-vert.
But I'm always wrong.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

And... any ideas on why it's called "Green Eyes"? The best I could do was a reference to the booze-loving vampire Zillah in Lost Souls which I HIGHLY doubt made it to Japan.
I'm not that great at French, but wouldn't 'Green Eyes' be Yeuxverts?

Jitan to Zidane actually isn't that bizarre. Since there is no "zih" sound in Japanese phonetics, "jih" would be the closest there is to it. So if you wrote something like "zebra," it would become "ju-e-bu-ra."Originally posted by kwobtchan

In Japanese it's written "U-E-RA-VA-RU-TO" (or close, I don't have the script with me right now), which is why I end up pronouncing it "WHEE-luh-vert."
Turning the fantasy into SOME sort of reality... o_O
That's why it's Greeneye and not Greeneyes. 'Yeux' is plural while 'oeil' is only singular. One of the many irregularities you'll find in any language.Originally posted by Black Mage 121

EDIT: As for the place itself, I can understand (I suppose) about the 'eye', but why do you figure it's green?
This should spark some discussion without lingering off-topic.
I prefer the term "Treasure Hunter".
I'm color-deficient, but wasn't the place itself green? And it had a telescope looking thing on top..... so... it does sorta look like a big, green eye toward the skies.

I don't remember at all. I thought since it had the name 'green' something had to be green about it, right? Perhaps you're right; I don't know.

Oeilvert is a fun and scary place. I will leave the name as another one of its scary secrets.
There was a thread about this a month or two back, and the responses were mostly based on Japanese pronunciation. Considering the context, i'd guess that's the right direction to take it, though i took my own stab at the word relative to German pronunciation rules.
All in all, i'm just glad that most of the FF series is text-driven.
