Ba-HA-moot
We've been playing FF12 and we finally got to the point where they mention Bahamut.. but the dialogue in this game is so messed up with their pronunciations, everyone is calling it Ba-HA-moot. -_- Is anyone else disappointed with everyone's speech? and I thought it was bad when they pronounced Marquis as Marqwiss... but Ba-HA-moot!?

I liked the british voice acting done in Dragon Quest VIII, but man, FF12 has some disappointing voice acting.. What also gets me is that if you have the text at the bottom turned on, you'll see that half the time the voice actors appear to be ad libbing. Words they speak won't be in the actual game text.. and if you happen to be reading the text because you don't want to miss out on the name of some location (because everyone and everything is some made up word never spoken in english before. -_-), you get all frustrated because the dialogue won't match up with what you're reading.

I blame square for being retards about the names they themselves came up with and not elaborating on their pronunciations until years upon years later.
Tidus = Teedus Bahamut = Ba HA moot and from FFVII mako is supposed to be pronounced Mack-o? It all sounds like bad HK tranlations to me.

I realise it was "Teedus" until yesterday, but they were technically pronouncing it properly with Bahamut.

I'm glad that in Dungeons and Dragons Bahamut is king/god of the metallic dragons anf that it is indeed pronounced Bahamut and not Bahamoot.

Mine too. I find that the Japanese mix up alot when it comes to the Western fantasy genre. I mean in Lodos War, for example, what they refer to as "Goblins" are in fact "Hobgoblins" and their "Kobolds" are closser to "Gnolls" then real Koblolds.
Don't even get me started on how anime portrays dragons. |
