I have no problem with people using the Japanese names if they're so inclined, but it doesn't make the proper pronunciation of the English names wrong.

I've always pronounced it "na-NAH-key".
I dislike (but understand) the "lisp", since it's how one would pronounce a "th" at the end of a name, even though the "th" should, apparently, be ignored.Originally Posted by Denmark
But I don't see how anyone has any trouble with Terra. I mean, how hard is it? It's not a language problem, it's not as though it's even a unique word. It's simple English.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Terra's name was Tina in Japan. I assume he means that some people still say Tina.
You're a pleb unless you go by the Japanese names. Everyone knows that Cyan's REAL name is Cyanideoradeiroth.
yeah, my post was a commentary on how uppity some people get about pronouncing/spelling the name "THE WAY THAT THE CREATORS INTENDED OMGZOMGZ JAPAN KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIII~~ ^_^"
And that's why I decided to run with it. I have no problem if someone prefers their game content to be in original Japanese, but when a player gets anal and expects everyone else to conform to their standards/actually thinks they are smarter or better than someone because of very minor details in a video game, then there's a problem.
There is not a single thing wrong in posting that in a thread asking "how do you pronounce".
I switch between na-NAH-key, and Nah-na-key. I prefer Nah-na-key, because the former sounds so close to "Knockey! Knockey!"
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
