Pronounciations

[Lady]

I know this doesn't make sense to pronounce it this way but:

Eorzea - Ez - oh- ree- ah

[Vilhem]

Bearing in mind that I'm English so my pronunciation of the English terms should be seen as canon ; )

Hyur: Hy-urgh (similar to the pronounciation of urgh)

Elezen: Eh-leh-zen

Miqo'te: Mee-koe-tay


Roegadyn: Dog-Head ... Jk Jk! Roe-ga-din



Referencing the Japanese versions doesn't work properly as some races have totally different names, for example;

Miqo'te is pretty much the same

ミ コ ッ テ
Mi Ko T Te Pronounced: Mee ko te


Hyur is different in Japanese - they call them Hyurans

Hi Yuu Ra N
ヒ ュー ラ ン Pronounced: He yoo ra n

You're right in that there's the discrepancy with "hyur" and "hyuran", but all that really changes is the +an sound, so its not "totally" different.

Of note is how the JP spell things phonetically (to the best of their ability) based on the spellings used with roman letters.

Roegadyn: ru ga di n

Minfilia: Mi n fi ri a

Ascilia: A shi ri a

F'lhaminn: Fu * ra mi n

Thancred: Sa n ku re ddo

Yda: I da

Papalymo: Pa pa ri mo

etc >.>

That is quite a stretch o.O;;

To some extent yes, but that's generally with foreign words. They have their own word for human, but since they're translating words with Katakana to have them sound a bit 'mysterious' they'd probably have gone with:

Hi yuu ma n


But either way it's all good, BRING ON THE BETA !!!
