Seriously? I'm the only one who uses Al-may-see?
....it just seems like the most reasonable way to pronounce the word
You don't hear the symphony I hear...
Here's how I think their names are pronounced:
Squall Leonhart = Skwall Le-on-hart
(Japanese pronounciation: Su-koo-ru Re-o-n-haa-to)
Rinoa Heartilly = Re-no-ah Har-tilly
Quistis Trepe = Kwes-tes Treep
(Qui from the way we pronounce the word quick)
Seifer Almasy = Say-fur Al-muh-se
Zell Dincht = Zell Din-cht
Selphie Tilmitt = Sell-fe Till-mit
Irvine Kinneas = Er-vin Ke-nay-*as
(* a as in apple)
Laguna Loire = Lah-goo-nah Low-are
(Japanese pronounciation: Ra-ku-na Re-u-ii-ru)
Raijin = Rye-jin
Fujin = Foo-jin
Ultimecia = Ul-te-may-se-uh
--------
I've only got the Japanese pronounciations for Squall and Laguna, 'cause I haven't seen any pics with the other character's names on them...
I can read katakana somewhat, but not kanji.
But because the FFVIII character names are "foreign" (except Raijin and Fujin and a couple of other side characters in the game...) they're names are written in katakana.
Seifer is a play on the word cipher, meaning non-entity, which is the explanation behind his name, so it's pronounced the same way.
