Somehow, I have a problem with the way Balthier's name is being pronounced the game. The characters pronounce it BAHL theer, but with the spelling and his character (along with his accent), I'm pretty sure it should be pronounced BAHL thee AY.
I have to assume this is part of the Americanization of the game and that his name was originally meant to be pronounced the way I have described. It's kind of annoying to hear it pronounced the way they do, and I have spoken to Bipper on the phone who agrees with me.
Does evidence exist to support or deny a theory on mispronunciation of Bathier's name in the game? If so, please present said evidence. Thanks.
By the way, for those unfamiliar with the pronunciation key, the line through the TH makes it a sound like the TH in "they."
