KH Re:CoM

All I will say about the game for now is...

I can just imagine the fanbratty "OMG THEY DON'T PRONOUNCE THE ORG'S NAMES AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE SQUARE I HAET U" rants. Mar-luu-shaa. Zex-ee-in. If it was to be pronounced Mar-luck-see-ah, they would have romanized his name Ma-ru-ku-shi-a, not Ma-ru-sha.

It's not the end of the world. Calm down.

I wouldn't know this, but did fandom throw fits over how Saix was pronounced?

Really, Jas? Really? :|;; KH fandom gets pretty darn crazy over the silliest things.

I used to pronounce "chocobo" as "chuu-cuh-boo." I still think it sounds cuter than "chocobo," but I've switched over. ^^;

"Chocko(as-in-'chocolate')-bow," here. ^_^

One of my friends pronounced "Seifer" as "see-fur", before KH2!

I used to pronounce "Seifer" as "Safer" until I got his figurine and read the katakana. x_x

I... can't in good conscience pronounce that name in any way other than "Sigh-fur." It's just the way I always have. That, and I don't like that game enough to mend my ways. ;)

Erm, "that game" meaning FFVIII, that is.

I thought that was how it was pronounced? In English, anyway.

Could be. I just know there are some names in that series that I likely butcher due to learning them much earlier on in life. Like [livejournal.com profile] dubious said up there, I too say Bahamut wrong as far as I know. I mean, hearing it said aloud in FFXII the way they pronounced it weirded me out. ;)

I know hearing Leviathan in FF12 threw me. O_o I don't even know why. Maybe it was the accents? :|;

Yeah, me too I think, though I can't recall at the moment how they said it. I just know it sounded odd. XD

... that's true. XD;
