    I still pronounce Tidus, "Tie-dus" and Cid, "Sid", but I'm trying to start pronouncing them correctly.

    I still haven't worked out how to pronounce Seifer's name, is it Saifer of Seefer? I use the first one but I bet its wrong.

    To fix this problem, I just say it how I want the first time and ignore anyone how says otherwise. I'm always right anyway, so what's there to discuss?

    Yuff-ee. Which sounds much better. You-fee sounds like some fugitive Clown that strayed from the circus.

    Similarly, they pronouce Aerith as "Aeris" hence the reason most people call her Aeris these days.

    Same goes for Sephiroth -> Sephiros
