*growls* I did not degrade you in anyway, so don't sound like you have an attitude. The topic is pronouncation and I put how they are prononced. I'm soooo sorry, that I gave you the correct ways.

I know you didnt degrade me. I dont have an attitude. I realize that going back through that last post the last remark may have come off rude. but it wasnt meant to be. I know the topic, which is why i put my pronunciations of the names. i pronounce them, the way i pronounce them.

Well, if you really want to get into the real Japanese pronounciations,

Tidus is Tee-dus

Teeda.

Rikku is Ree-Kuu

Ryukku.

Zidane is Zah-dan-nay

Zeetahn.

Celes is Sal-las

Selees.

[crashNUMBERS]

I pronounced Tidus Tie-dus, Yuffie Yuh-fee and Seifer Seh-fur.

And I still do.

[Vaprice]

it doesn't really matter how you pronounce the names~ it's basically just the way you pronounce it if your from asian your gonna pronounce it not like americans do and so on and so on

[Cruise Control]

lol, that is true, I have been narrowminded yet again!

[DJZen]

If you think THIS is bad, imagine gamers trying to wrap their brains around the names in Street Fighter 2.

[Greiver205]

I always pronounced Seifer like Say-fur....Tidus was always Tee-dis to me...I dont see how Ti makes a Tie sound.

[DJZen]

They pronounce it that way because of the general lack of pronounciation rules in English, and because words that start with "ti" tend to be pronounced "tie".

Tie
Tide
Time
Tithing
Tiger

etc.

[Hroth]

Isn't Zidane pronounced Zuh-dann? I know someone named Zidane and that's how we call him. Celes is definitely pronounced Seh-less and Tidus Tee-dus. How about Barret though? Bah-rett or Ba-rett? Oh Yeah, and I always pronounced Seifer Say-fur so I don't know about that one, but if it wasn't pronounced that way then why would the e be there?

[ApocalypticLeon]

Heh.

Tidus: Tee-dus
Seifer: Seh-fer
Yuffie: Yu-fie
Zidane: Zi-dane
Tifa: Tee-fuh

Meh, it always depends. Each to their own, I suppose. I really dosen't matter, knowing the way it is said will not help you with the game.
