{{Ununnilium}}: I think "Examples", for this, shouldn't be ''any'' game where you can rename your character. Just the has-to-make-special-allowances-for-voice-acting ones.

AndrewLeprich: Ok, sounds good to me.

''"''BatenKaitos ''also has the characters leave out the Guardian Spirit's name when addressing it.''"

{{Tanto}}: Weirdly enough, despite being a huge fan of this series I never knew that. I guess it's because I play with the (frankly horrid) voice acting off.

{{Phartman}}: Okay, so how ''is'' Tidus' name pronounced? Please tell me it isn't ''Tee-dus''.

AndrewLeprich: It is.

{{Phartman}}: Ouch. Poor ''Tee''dus...

{{Ununnilium}}: What, really? Sheesh.

{{osh}}: Yeah. Pretty much any of the non-Western style Final Fantasy name are pronounced like the Japanese (and Spanish) fans do so you have to watch the vowels; I called Zi-da-ne "Zi-dane" for ages. IIRC ''FinalFantasy X'' 's Ryukku became Rikku because ''ryu'' renders a bit wonky to English, but sounds to us after getting WhiteHairedPrettyBoy [[KingdomHearts Riku's]] later on.
*{{Kinitawowi}}: I still do. Damn Zinedine.

AndrewLeprich: I myself while playing KingdomHearts was shocked to lean that ''FinalFantasyVII'''s Yuffie's name is actually pronounced as rhyming with goofy (yoo-fee) and not with duffy.

{{Inkblot}}: KingdomHearts: Smacking English pronunciations with a Keyblade since 2002.

Prfnoff: I just removed that section for not being relevant to this trope. Further discussion of this belongs on NoPronunciationGuide.
* We finally got to hear his name in ''KingdomHearts'' where the standard Japanese 'vowel' convention held (soft "i", ''Tee-dus'') and surprised a few fans. In ''KingdomHearts 2'' a different character pronounced his name Tide-us, contradicting the earlier pronunciation and leaving "Tidus" with no canonical pronunciation.
** The Japanese pronounce and write it like Tīda (pronounced Tee-da). In an interview with James Arnold Taylor, he declared that Tee-dus was an acceptable "correct" pronunciation.
*** {{Dissidia}} uses Tee-dus as well.

{{Inkblot}}: Should we make this a SubjectiveTrope, or move everything to TroperTales, or...

Insert Name Here: Okay, the troper tales made me double over laughing. This Trope ROCKS!
