I always pronounced it "sarlongtigantuolaron". You mean to tell me I've been grossly misinformed?

There is no signature here. Move along.
Is there any diffrence between Sid and Seed? It sounds exactly the same for me. I might be wrong cos I'm not from english-speaking country
Enter The Wired....
...join me into my pilgrimage of destroying yuna....Ahahaha
I guess so.Originally Posted by Maxx Power
I remember everyone in FFX and X-2 calling Rikku's father "Sid" not "Seed".
So you are indeed wrong...in a certain sense anyway, which happens to be the one that matters.
I like Kung-Fu.
It's Tee-Dah acutally.
That's how I pronouce both Tidus and Tifa. :riiight: I know I'm wrong, but that's what I originally called them when I first saw their name, and it's hard to change something once you've been doing it for so long.But ive heard people call Tidus Tide-us and Tifa (this one pisses me off) Tiff-ah
I say 'tif-ah' too. Because it's like it's short for tiffani. except it isn't. but it's sorta like it is.
And Tii-dus is a perfectly *right* name. TV and the Bible tell us that.
The I in Sid is pronounced like the I in fish an "ih" sound not "ee"
I always pronounced Tidus like Tide-us. Tee-dus sounds dumb. I always thought it was Tee-fa not tiff-ah.
There are people who call Sephiroth Sepa-roth in my area. I want to punch them.
I know I'm wrong but I've always pronounced Chocobo like koko-bo not Choko-bo. I like the sound koko-bo better than choko-bo. Its like the sea animal Conch is pronounced kahnk NOT konch. the CH is a K sound like in Chord. But by far the worst pronounciation od chocobo is Choco-bo (like chololate, but where theres a late you place bo. Choco-bo | choco-late).
With exception of FFX and X-2 any name can be pronounced how you veiw it. Tidus is the exception cuz his name is never spoken in X or X-2.
I never played FFX so I'm curious to know how they could go the entire game without saying the main character's name once.
well, then how do you prounounce it?
I don't have a problem pronouncing a Spanish name with English rules any more than other languages modifying English words to suit their own rules. Share and be well.
Incidently, in the Castillian dialect of Spanish, Cid would be pronounced 'Theed'.

Calling him "seed" makes him sound like I should bury him in the ground and hope that a Chain-Smoking-Cursing-Pilot Tree will grow.
BG-57's right. And BG, did you ever notice that this makes 2 FF7 names people lisp on (counting "Theed")? What pisses me off is when I see "Aerith" all over the place. I respect the Japanese and their language and culture, but pity the poor being who tries to convert me to pronouncing and spelling English translations the original languages' way. Please, just spell it like it's intended, and pronounce it however the hell you want.
I am aliveI will never run away
--Alive (Korn)
And we sneak a call
All my life I was in the cold
--Invincible (Static-X)
I've always pronounced it Sid. Because that's how it is---FFX told me so.
So yeah.
It's always been "Sid" for me. And "Tide-us" because "Tee-dus" just makes him sound like more of a wuss than people already say he is. Tifa has always been "Tee-fa", and Aeris was ALWAYS "Air-iss". I HATE the "Aerith" pronounciation. It might look okay spelled that way, but the actual word just sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say "Aeris."
How do you guys pronounce Celes? That one has always bugged me, because it's almost like the name "Celeste" got cut short. I pronounce it a few different ways in my head, usually it sounds something like "sel-ez" or something to that effect.
Try Like it is spelled? PH= F not P. Seffa-roth (I doubled the F so you wouldn't think it was Seefa-roth. Because it seems some of you can't pronounce simple letters. )well, then how do you prounounce it?
Cid is Sid because I's do not sound like double E's when following a hard C (Hard Cs are S sounds; soft Cs are K sounds. I've long said C's aren't necessary alone. Only followed by an H is C useful.). Cinnamon isn't Ceenamon. You don't smoke Ceegarettes. They are Cigarettes. Cid is NOT Seed.
Celes is pronounced Sel-iss, or at least thats what makes sense to me.
MJN SEIFER, No. In NO way can you justify TIDUS beind TEEDUH. I don't care who you are or where you are from S is NEVER an "uh" sound. Like I said if you want to get into arguements with everyone you know and look like a moron who thinks he knows everything, then you go saying teeduh, meanwhile I'm gonna go be right and sat Tidus. Teedus sounds better than Teeduh. You are a Tee "duh'.
