I'm Pretty Sure Most Of You Pronounce The Names Of Certain Pieces Of Gear Horribly Wrong.

It's the DOOOOMS!

Oh god, that reminds me... The first two years or so i played ffxi i thought it was WindRust... not WindUrst.

But in my defense, windrust sounds so much cooler than windurst.

If you had the volumn on when you played the game the first time. The game speaks the names of the cities you can choose between lol.

San Doria
Bastook
Wind urst

Always got my volume on and music turned off. 99% of all video game music is plain awful~ (My only complaint about ff13... couldnt turn down the music. Made the game almost unbearable for me, but i loved the actual game itself.)

But i don't recall the game saying the names out loud, then again that's been more than half a decade ago since i first played.

HE DIDNT SAY HI FROM YOU..

Hi Drevin. <3

Where the hell do people pick up Wind-Hurst? I mean, seriously.

It's funny because a lot of people have mixed and fantastical names.


Try saying;

Caiyuo
Rydiya
Duvessa
Kaioshin
Daimos
Anye
Jaerik
Ingraham(Not sure about that, could have an easy way to say it)
zephriel
Amael
Naokoyume

>.> Mine you should pronounce it Rye-Dee-Yah.

Dew-Vessa.


My guesses at the others:
Caiyuo = Sigh-Yo
Kaioshin = Blah-Genn-Dorf? iunno.
Daimos = Day-Mows
Anye = On-Yay
Jaerik = Jay-Rick
Ingraham = Ing-Ruh-Ham
zephriel = Zef-er-eel
Amael = Ah-Male
Naokoyume = Nay-Ko-Yu-Me

lol

Amazing how the -mayus and -mus make such a difference in appeal.

I wanted Ingram as a name but I had to settle with this :(

Technically the name could go as "Ingrum" or "In-Graham" but hell, doesn't really matter, it's an ugly-awesome name.

Booj is how I say it. And the only real one I've seen was like an axe with a knife blade on it, but yeah, it's a knife.

That irritates me too, its like how the hell do you get "Charby" From a name where the y comes before the b? I call him Chary for short >.>

ROE-DEE-OHHHHH

I've had people pronouncing my name as 'Settle-sam-a'..

Nu you are wrong. 'Set-tea-sah-mah'

I always had fun pronouncing some avatars wrong. Lol
"Baa-haa-mutt" - Bahamut
"Lev-ee-than" - Leviathan
"If-reet" - Ifrit
"She-vah" - Shiva, though I've heard people pronouce her name as "Sheva" like from Resident Evil 5.

Burrito = Die-uh-re-a

As far as I'm aware, that's spot on.

Uhmmm....I say:

Bastock ~ Bas-tok Nothing's going to change that. Except when I have to go there too much, then it's Asstock.

SAN~dor~ee~uh

WIND~urst

CHOH~cuh~boh...my husband says Chahk~uh~boh. Irritates the hell out of me.

VAN~uh~deel Husband says Vuh~naa~dee~il...the hell...

SOH~juh

VAL~kurm

QWIH~fim

Mair~IH~fi~tahd

Prahm~EE~vi~un

Buh~HAH~muht

If~REET

SHEE~vuh

Uhg~uh~lep~pih

Fay~yihn

Here's one for you...Goobue...For the life of me, I can't do it goo~boo~weh, it's always gah~boo, and i know it's wrong. But when I say it the other way, always just comes out goober.

Also, I'm from Ohio, and people say warsh here. Annoys the ***out of me. Especially when my mom does it.

Thought it was Shiv-uh? Shiv being pronounced like the thing used to stab someone in prison for not being your ***.

I pronounce it E-giss. Hard G. Became a habit.

Didn't notice, but yeah, It sounds better. Like Charon, in FFX-2.. I pronounce it like Karen.

Why does everyone pronounce Qufim, kwifim, qweef(lol),kif? XD, I've always pronounced it Kew-fim as in the letter Q

Some of the ppl names in game is just as hard to pronounce as items and areas lol
