After reading the starcraft thread about pronounciation I couldn't help myself. I have had about a dozen arguments over Final Fantasy pronounciation.

Tifa Tee-fa
Yufi You-fi
Aeris Air-is
chocobo cho-ka-bo
Tidus Tee-dus

Yufi is spelled Yuffie, at least in my version of the game. I pronounce it yuff-y, though you-fi is probably right and sounds cooler. Anyway, it doesn't matter, she's the best character in FF7 and maybe all FF's ever.

Tidus = Tee dus, my friend's name actualyl is Tidus.
Cait Saith = Kate Sith
Tifa = Tiff ah
Aeris = Air is
Bahamut = Bah hah mutt
Quezcotl = Kewz cott ell
Ramuh = Rah Muh
Chocobo = Cho ko bow
Rinoa = I say Ree owna, I read it wrong when I 1st plaayed it and I'm too lazy to correct myself.
Seifer = Sigh fur
Quistis = Quit is, again read wrong at first.

Those are the only ones I can think of that people would say differently. =p

I had some book that said it was pronounced "Ket Shee", so I've always said it that way. But I don't know if that's actually right.
We cant give up just because things arent the way we want them to be.

most ff names are spelled correctly when you pronounce them like you would in german.

but also, some of the romanisations were altered to match them more to real western names (cait sith e.g. afair)
(micronesia) lol we aren't going to just permban you (micronesia) "we" excludes Jinro

yuffi best char wtf? 1st her storyline sucks. 2nd she isnt nearly as cool as all those real good chars. 3rd her ultimate limit is worthless. 9999 dmg max? wow a normal hit with 2x/4x attack does 2 /4 times more dmg then this stupid wannabe limit

yea not sure what to say on this. On the one hand the game is japanese in origin, and the names are "katakana" characters, and there's no real ambiguity in pronunciation. Sometimes you can have differences in "ups and downs" in intonations, but these names dont seem to have that possibility.

So the question can be entirely avoided if you go with the idea of [[the japanese pronunciation is the correct one]].

However, at the same time, these names are in general, english, spanish, etc. Once it's translated to these languages, it's tough to say what the real translation becomes (especially for the clearly english-esque ones)

My friends and I have had countless arguments on FF pronounciation. Chocobo being the most brought up because it's in all the ff's ( and they're so cute). They totally pulled "ko-ka-boo" out of their ass and somehow it got stuck in my head and I say it like half the time now.
