You realize that Tidus name in Japanese is ティーダ right? Teeda, no S. You don’t need to attempt to pronounce the English names in a similar fashion to the Japanese. These names are never voiced acted in English, say them however the frick you want.
>Is wrong, it's You-fie
it's actually yoo-fieh. the yoo pronounced like the u in put. the fieh pronounced with a dipthong combination of the short i and e sounds. >Is wrong, it's Sai-fur
that's also incorrect. ei is pronounced as a dipthong of the short e and short i sounds, so it sounds more like the anglo long a, like say-fur.
you've just dredged up a long buried memory of a friend I had in elementary school who pronounced sephiroth "sair-proth" and furiously insisted everyone else was wrong
I'll take Yuff-ee over You-fee any day. It sounds more playful and cute to me. Suits her better.
Could play the drums on dem abs, yeeee
How would anyone get "yuffy" from that? "You-fie" sounds way better. "Yuffy" just sounds weird.
there's a close comparison with the name Buffy (the vampire slayer) which has an uh sound rather than an oo sound
It’s definitely You-fee, not Yuffy like Buffy.
Its tee fah
No its tif ah
It's pee fah
>Me-lee
>Tsel-duh
>Duh-ree-us Gay-den
uhm actually i use the proper japanese pronunciation of the names, you're the one who is wrong
same. anglos should just stop being dumb.
I look back fondly at the glory days of of of the British empire too, anon. Careful what you wish for
I speak Japanese and I still say tiff-uh and yuffy (like buffy) when I read them in English. I still say Aeris too.
Sex with yuffie
The worst is gays who call Mario Mary-oh despite hearing Mario say his own name countless times.
Bongs and non-French Canadians say it like that. Here's one bong making a video justifying it:
Dumb Bongs
i say marty-o
Tide-oouse
Yayhff-fee
Tie-ehf-Ah

Now who's the chickenwuss
I've noticed it's usually New Yorkers that do it too
Merry-Oh is definitely a New York/New Jersey thing.
Forgive them, they're from Brooklyn
No,brick you and frick Brooklyn. They can't even say Brooklyn
>"Brucklun"
>"Wooshtuh"
Fricking morons

How the frick do you get Ti-fuh from ティファ
English often centralizes unstressed vowels.

Sounds to me like his name is supposed to be Cheadle then, a reference to Don Cheadle.
It can be whatever you want, he's renameable.
Everyone just says "you" or "him" when they talk about Tidus in dialogue.
His name is voice acted in Dissidia. It's Tee-dus
Yeah, they also changed Aeris’s name to Aerith in following spin-offs. Shit changes.
>Is wrong, it's You-fie
it's actually yoo-fieh. the yoo pronounced like the u in put. the fieh pronounced with a dipthong combination of the short i and e sounds.

>it's actually yoo-fieh
so probably better described as yoo-fyeh
ITT: stupid americans who don't know how to pronounce words without referencing other words and syllables
>maw-ko
Absolutely not.
>Sea-fur
don't know what the frick these people are thinking, the others i understand on varying levels
it's more like mock-o
I will never not pronounce it like May-co.
and if you grew up with it the other way around you'd feel like that about the other way too =)
Idk, I grew up around relatives that said 'Merry-O' but I knew that was incorrect. May-ko just sounds more pleasing than Mah-ko.
This is why games where you can rename everybody are the best.
Tee fah
Anyone that pronounces it 'Tie-fuh' is a fricking psychopath. Also, Aerith is moronic and Aeris is objectively better sounding.

Went to middle school with this guy that was chock full of these for FF7 alone, some of them unique as far as I've experienced.
>Tie-fuh
>Seppy-roth
>Chock-a-boo
He also didn't pronounce the first N in Vincent and would always rename Barret to "Wallace" because he liked him better with his names reversed.
you've just dredged up a long buried memory of a friend I had in elementary school who pronounced sephiroth "sair-proth" and furiously insisted everyone else was wrong
I definitely said "chock a boo" as a kid
