You can obviously tell, compare the capital 'L' to the captial 'I' in FFIX. Plus it says Iifa in the strategy guide.

Anyway. I used to think it was Lifa too for some reason I'll never really know. Maybe I was just telling myself that it was lower-case to help with pronounciation.

ee-fa
I agree.
And uh, yeah. It's Iifa.
I always thought that it was Lifa. I guess I'm nothing but a horrible, two-timing moron.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
Blarg, I was going to link to that thread too. And now that I checked the thread, I forgot that I had already removed the pictures. I guess I'll upload them back. As for pronouncing stuff, Iifa would be pronounced "ee-fa(h)" in Finnish so it would make sense. Lifa (pronounced "life-ah"?) would be harder for me to pronounce, and knowing what the tree is supposed to do, Life Tree wouldn't make sense anyway, IMHO.
EDIT: Okay, it is called the Tree of Life, although its purpose is (SPOILER)to bring death to Gaia. I took one more screenshot which proves it's Iifa with two i's. Here we go, people:
Case closed, I'd say.

Lifa sounds better, but it's clearly Iifa. I used to think it was Lifa, because of the "Tree of Life" which would be ironic, considering what the Iifa Tree actually is and does.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I thought Lifa is a spell. If they call it Lifa Tree, it would create many paradoxes and misunderstandings.
I'll stick to Iifa.
It figures that a weird looking tree would have a weird name..
Here, *spreads apricots to the world*
I used to think it was the Lifa Tree until my friend downloaded the FF font, it is clearly the Iifa Tree.
Don't have a screenshot or anything, but here's is the ultimate proof. When you first visit an area, you know how it shows the name of the location? Well, when you visit the Iifa tree to unlock the seal with Eiko, it clearly displays the name as "Iifa Tree." But that's the ultimate proof, even though I already knew what it was.
But it's pronounced 'Throatwarbler Mangrove'
Exactly...
:rolleyes2
