Pronunciation

[Davey Gaga]

Thanks to the wonders of voice acting present in AC, we now know how to correctly say most of the characters names in VII.

My question: which names did you find difficult to pronounce, and how did you say them? Write the names out phonetically, if you can

 

[Istvan Kovacs]

I always pronounced cait sith as cait sith instead of cait shee

Mako always became may-ko


and yuffie was always yuffie instead of yoofie

 

[Gaaramaster]

I pronounce it like this

Tifa- Ti-fah
Cloud-Cloud
Barret-Bare-eht
Cait Sith- Cat Sith
Vincent-Vin-sehn-t
Yuffie-Yoo-fe
Aerith-eh-ehr-ith
Cid-Sid
Sephiroth-Sehf-e-roth
Hojo-Ho-jo
Luceria-Loo-sehr-eah

tell me if I forgot anyone, or if you can't pronuonce it with this.

 

[Britalia]

Well, this is how I pronounce 'em all:

Cloud - Cloud
Tifa - Tee-fuh
Aeris/Aerith - Ay-er-iss/Ay-er-ith
Barret - Bare-it
Sephiroth - Sef-er-oth
Cait Sith - Kate-Sith
mako - may-co
Yuffie - Yoofie
Reno - Ree-no

etc., etc....

 

[Pyro_Warrior]

hmm since the jap made those names wouldn't be more appropriate if they were well jap sounding?

like mako would be well ma-ko

 

[Amizon]

I always thought Sephiroth was Sephi-roth and they say it as Sepha-roth. But in the Japanese version of AC, they say it Sephi-roth.
