Loki Laufeyson Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 How do you pronounce stuff in this game? Did it bother you that the Narrator pronounced some names oddly? Like "JOFFREY"? Seriously what was up with that? Its pronounced JEFFERY PEOPLE! Anyway...yeah topic, GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The only two characters' names I pronounce different from the narrator are Geoffrey (as above) and Sothe ("Soth"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineYON Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ha, exactly as NinjaMonkey, Soth and Jeffery. Also names like Almedha,Caineghis, Dheginsea, Rajaion, etc. where they insert random letters arbitrarily into their names gives me a hard time before RD though (some still do).

El Rey León Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The only two characters' names I pronounce different from the narrator are Geoffrey (as above) and Sothe ("Soth"). Same, plus Caineghis (I go with "Kayn-uh-ghis" instead of the narrator's "Kuh-nay-ghis") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fei Mao Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I don't remember what other names the Narrator pronounces. Geoffrey- Gee-Off-Ery Caineghis- Cain-Gis Dheginsea- Dang-Say-Ah (I don't know why I pronounce it that way.)

Life Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I say Tye-tayne-ee-aa not Tit-ohn-yah like the narrator. I knew it. That dress isn't just tight on me. It's tight on yah too! I just made a cooler segway than Ryan Stiles. I am so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehnikhil Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I pronounce a lot of things differently, but especially the word Begnion I alwasy thought it was beg-nee-on and not ben-gon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Sothe (Soth) and Titania. Quite frankly, Geoffrey looks far more like a Joffrey than a Jeffrey to me, so he stays as Joffrey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I keep the g in Begnion silent. I thought it was supposed to be pronounced like a French word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 How I pronounce the names? Let's gee... Gatrie: Gay-tree Titania: Ty-tay-nee-uh Sothe: Soth Sephiran: Sef-er-an. That's all I can think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I alwasy thought it was beg-nee-on and not ben-gon Same here. It might just be one of the few pronunciation differences from the narrator that I care about. That, and "Mick-ai-uh." I pronounce it "Mick-ay-uh." Yep... As for "Joffrey," I pronounce him as "Gee-oh-free," but there's less emphasis on the "oh" part, so it can pass as "Jeffrey."

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 The name Geoffery is traditionally pronounced like Jeffery. :| Narrator is on drugs. tye-tayne-ee-aa Yeah because of the Shakespearian Titania found in Midsummer Nights Dream. Sothe was always "Soa-thee" to me but i got use to him being SOATH Gatrie is "GOT-TREE" for me. Janaff. How do you guys say that one? I call him "YAN-AFF" :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Having never played RD, I pronounce Micaiah "My-cai-uh". And yeah, Tyt-ayn-ee-ah and Jeff-ehr-ee as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whase Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think that how you pronounce a name has to do with your language as well. pronouncing of certain letters are slightly different between countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Gatrie: Gay-tree I lol'd. Though I pronounce Geoffrey as Jeffrey and Titania as ty-tae-nyah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykil Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I say Goffrey with a hard G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Smasher Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Marcia- I always subvocalize as "Marsha," not "mar-SEE-a" Lucia- I always subvocalize in the Italian pronunciation "lu-CHEE-a" which sounds sexier to me, because you have to purse your lips to say it that way. As for the g in Beignion, I believe there was a similarly named country in FE8 which also had the french "gn" pronunciation. There was an FE8 promotional website with a flash animation that had a narrator pronounce it in the french way as well. The Gat- part of Gatrie I always pronounce to rhyme with "bat" but pronouncing it like "got" makes more sense. Nephenee- I pronounce it with 2 syllables even though the narrator pronounces it to rhyme with Stefanie Sigrun- I pronounce it "Zeeg-rune" to make it sound extra German, (Sigrun was a valkyrie in mythology) though I don't use her much. That's all for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Neph-en-ee. :P Oddly, I do much the same with Marcia and Lucia. Marsha and Lu-see-a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Marcia sounds like "Marsha" when pronounced. Thats usually the way the name is said. Ive known people with that name. Lucia. Its like Lucius only with an A. Sigrun- I pronounce it "Zeeg-rune" to make it sound extra German, (Sigrun was a valkyrie in mythology) though I don't use her much. Exactly. Although since its Norse, its less Z and more S but yes the general pronounciation you used is correct. What about Sanaki? Since it was obviously a japanese origin name, i pronounced it "SAHN-AH-KEE" with emphasis on the second syllable. Nephenee- I pronounce it with 2 syllables even though the narrator pronounces it to rhyme with Stefanie You mean like "NEPH-NEE?" I was actually alarmed that the narrator pronounced that one the same way i do. Rhyming with Stephanie. Initially i pronounced Begnion as "BEG-NEE-ON" but the narrator actually made sense pronouncing it BEN-NYON. It does sound better. How about Lethe? I call her "LETH-EE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Sanaki is Snacky. There is no alternative pronunciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
