The name "Quistis"

[Dynast-Kid]

OK.I read somewhere that Square-Enix has stated that the name "Quistis" is of French origin and is pronounced KEY-stis.Not KWI-stis,which I always say.

So I was just wondering how everyone pronounced her name?

[Meat Puppet]

KWI-stis. But I'm not bothered being wrong.

[Arrianna]

I always pronounced it the same way...

...but you made me wonder so I looked it up. Questa is a French girls name meaning searcher and the "qu" combination is pronounced as "k". :O_O:

First Seifer and now Questis. Whose name am I going to mispronounce next? How do you say Rinoa anyway?

[Moon Rabbits]

Kwi-stis


Rih-no-ah

[Dr. Acula]

Ok lets go through ALL of them. In no particular order:
Kwis-tis
Say-fer or, as I always say, Se-fer
Rih-noh-ah
Sell-fee
Ed-ee-ah
Skwall
Lah-goo-nah
Kye-ros
Ward (surely no-one needs help with that)
Zell (come ON, people!)
Err-vyne
Add-ell
Ull-ti-mee-see-ah

[Thorn]

WTf is keystis? Its obviously kwi-stis.

[Xurts]

Kwi-sts
Sigh-fur
Rin-oh-ah
La-gun-ah/La-goon-ah (I pronounce it both)
Kigh-rows

Everything else is pretty self-explanatory.

[Slade]

I usually pronounce it as Kwis-tis.......I'm pretty sure it's actually pronounced as Quest-is though.....

[Aralith]

Whether or not that key-stis thing is true, I've always pronounced it as kwis-tis.

[G SpOtZ]

Wasn't there already a thread on Quistis' pronunciation? Maybe it just got old, or something.

I'm sticking with Kwis-tis because it sounds better than whatever the hell you're trying to say.

Sk-wall (Squall)
Rin-oh-uh (Rinoa)
Zell. Yeah, Zell.
Sel-fee (Selphie)
Err-vin (Irvine)
See-fer (Seifer)
Ed-ay-uh (Edea)
Oh-deen (Odine)
Ay-ohn (Ellone)

Anything else?

Kwin-uh (Quina, hah.)

[Acid Raine]

God....who thought of using names with weird pronounciations in a pure text game?

I say Kwis-tis, but thats just me

I DO say Ay-ohn for Ellone. ell = ay. Same for the word Paella.

[Xurts]

It's because Squenix is a Japanese company. So of course they are going to have strange names, plus the fact that they have to be translated to English.

[Acid Raine]

They usually change the named things into something more recognizable for American and Europeans. They do it horribly on animes............

[boys from the dwarf]

because of different languages amd ways we pronounce thing, there is no single correct name. E.G. in FF7 i thought reno was pronounced renno and yuffie was pronounced yuff-ee. but in japanese those letters in that position have long sounds so its ree-no and you-fee. but that doesnt neccasarily make me wrong. i guess their original name pronunciation is the right one though.
