just go on youtube and find a video of the makers of the game pronouncing their names...its really not that hard...and I was suprised to see that I was pronouncing Quistis' name wrong for the past 10 years!

I always thought Ultimecia was said 'Ul-tee-mee-chee-a' but I agree with Jesse about the Edea pronunciation. I felt that these are really old names and that's why IMO people pronounce it wrongly, but that's what Final Fantasy has some references to right? The past? Like Ur and Canaan and the times of Abraham? /srsly off topic, sorry

If Selphie was real... Instant girlfriend for me right there. And I'd give her a hug.
If Cloud was real... I'd have my ass kicked. But I might give him a hug.
If Shiva was real... I would like her to be my summon.
If Yuna was real... I'd want to hug her.
If Tifa was real... I'd hug her... <.< >.>
If Squall was real... I'd call him emo. But first I might give him a hug.
If Sephiroth was real... I'd run. RUN FAST. No hug.
If Tidus was real... I might want to hug him and tell him he's awesome.
If Rinoa was real... She'd be my best friend. I would hug her everyday.
If Edea was real... I'd... say hi and give her a hug?
If Ultimecia was real... The world is getting its ass kicked. No hug. Well maybe... It's a boobs or gtfo deal for her.
If Final Fantasy was real... The world would be a better place. Oh, and I'd give the world a hug.

I'm not really sure why everyone thinks Kee-stis sounds odd but Kwis-tis doesn't. They both sound odd, but Kee-stis seems easier to say, and to roll off the tongue just a little more naturally to me. Everyone is different thought. No voice actors so you can pronounce it however you want.

If I'm not mistaken though, Amarant, the proper Japanese pronunciation FOR Quistis' name is Kee-stis. That's why you see so many people pronouncing her name as such.

Kee-stis sounds AWFUL, I don't think I'd ever catch myself reading text and thinking Keestis has just said it...that honestly sounds disgusting haha. Kwistis sounds so much better.
Anyway, we should know how to pronounce Squall and Seifer based on Kingdom Hearts, as well as Zell, Irvine and Selphie from basic English. I'm a but fluid on how to pronounce Rinoa, though...Rai-noah/Ry-noah, Ree-noah, Rin-oah...the first of which sounds the best to me.
Ultimecia: I go for Ul-tih-mee-see-ah, as opposed to Ul-tih-mee-shah, though the latter sounds like it's more likely to be correct.
Ray-gin and Foo-gin, I KNOW that's wrong though but I don't know how...I've been set in my way for years so I'll probably never go back anyway haha.
