    I started pronouncing it May-ko before I learned how to pronounce Japanese words, hell, before I knew it was a Japanese word. So the pronounciation stuck.

    May ko

    Out of curiosity,

    What is Sephiroth's name (or pronunciation) in the Japanese version of FFVII?

    The below sentence is true.

    Not until I looked up the kanji (first noticed in the "reminescince" part of AC) did I realize it was Mahko. Then later I re-played the game and noticed the kanji in an ad in the item shop in Shinra HQ (which also had the romaji as "Makou"). I like Mayko better, though, just as I like You-fee and Tih-fuh.

    It may be wrong. But I always said "Mar-Ko"

    because when I was younger I saw an episode of something and there was a character called "Mako" and that's how they pronounced it.

    When I had the game when it came out I wasn't really into the whole Japan thing, so yeah I say May-ko, Yuff-y, and since I've been saying that for a good 9 years I do believe that I'll keep saying it that way.

    May-ko.

    There pronunciaton differences between X and X2 as well, so I don't even think the designers know for sure some of the time.

    In any case, Ma-ko, You-fee, and Tee-fa.

    Gagazet is pronounced different in the two games.
