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.

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.

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

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

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.

Here's one i've always been curious about: Budge or booj for bhuj? lol Idk what a bhuj is, well, i've heard it's a dagger but SE seems to call Great Axes bhujs... sooo who knows!

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.

Osodes and kotes, too XD

Also, when people shorten Charybdis to "Charby" it still kinda irks me.

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 >.>

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.

I had a friend who insisted on pronouncing "Aegis" "ay-gihs". The proper way to say it is "eee-jiss" (Click Here for Audio). The ae or æ makes an eee sound, like in "aeolian/æolian harp" (eee-oh-lee-an).

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

Dunno if you saw my other post, but the Ch in Charybdis makes a K sound! :P

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