Me and my friends have been arguing over this one for a while.

Bear-rit, thats how I always pronounce it.

i haf always pronounced it bear-it. that's my story and i'm stickin to it!!

It's Barret. I don't see how people have trouble pronouncing it. Just sound it out. There's only one way to say it. Barret.

Bar-ret
Not on the french style, but the semi english dutch style :P
I always pronounced it like that.... no point of changing it now.

The second one (Ba-ray) sounds too French. It's made by Japanese ppl, and Japanese and French aren't really close

Barret: said how its spelt

sounds a bit like...monkey:confused:

Good cause i pronounce it Bear-it so now i can shove it in my friends faces =)

Barret is Bar-ret. Pronounced as it's spelt. Bear-it is weird and goes nothing with the spelling (and every other character is said like it's spelt too) Ba-ray is Barrette not Barret so that's not right either.

What Cloud said...It's pronounced like it is spelt...

it's pronounced B�RET if u wanna use some swedish ;) but with a curl on the r

or u could say
like barrel but except with an t instead of l

I pronounce it ba-ray, cause it sounds kinda french to me, an' in french they most usually dont pronounce the t in a word.

but in 8 they use gilgamesh, which is a norse (i think its norse) hero, they use Quetzacotl, its a Aztec thunder god, i could just go on forever an' ever tellin ya bout all the connections in the Final Fantasies w/ stuff from other countries an' religions, past an' present.

Somehow Barrett doesn't look very FRENCH to me. :-p

I've always pronounced it "bear-it".

uummmm..... I've always pronounced it bear-it, i guess, some of my friends say bar-it, like a bar (pub) and one of them says it the french way, bar-ay, it's weird, i guess it just depends on who's playing the game

I am amlost positive Gilgamesh is Mesopotamian (ancient Middle East) anyways how many black slang talking frenchmen do you know?

Bear-it. Just like many have said.

I'm not native... the first time I pronounced " Bar-ret" but after this I should change to "Bear-rit"

how on earth did people start pronouncing it bear it??

its obvious how its pronounced, exactly how it is spelt

Barret

ba ret (not bar)

Its Barret, said how its spelt. Not Bear-it. i dont see how you can confuse it with bear-it.

Man , I'm totally confused. To sum up , it's ba-ret or bear-rit????

u say it as barret. u know

Bear-it, that's the only way...

bear-it

:eye: I say its Bear-it. :eye:

IM SO CLEVER!!!

everyone actually says barret the same! its just different accents.

American people say - Bear-it
English people say - Ba-ret
French people say - Ba-ray (lol)

hehe, i bet no one else even realised ^_^

I don't see how there is any confusion it is pronounced as it looks. Ba-ret

seifer did you not even read my post? people have different ACCENTS which alters the pronounciation. Read my last post

perhaps this might shine some light on the subject:

i know a man named barret; his name is pronounced just like barrel (i hope we all pronounce that the same 4 heavens sake!) except there is a t in place of that l, just like Cort said.

Just what Tekno said, Bar-ret.

I say Bar-et....I dont think the others go with the spelling

I'm not French, but this is the most obvious spelling to me.
Bear-Ray.
Barret
just like the silent t. Or Bear-Rae. I like saying it that way alot better than Ba-Ray, or Bear-it, or Bear ret. It sounds...nicer. Bear it and Bear ret sound like ciggarette. Well, Bear-Ray is da way i say, so save dis for another day. That's my story and i'm stickin' to it.

Well I say it -
Ba-ret

OH MY GOD!!
I'm sorry, but I just have to say...
WHO CARES HOW IT'S PRONOUNCED!?!
I certainly don't...I guess I'm the only one that doesn't...

people still dont understand, Barrel is pronounced differently depending on your accent.. -.-

american ppl will say Bear el, english will say ba rel, its the same with Barret. Barret is pronounced differently to each accent, in reality we are all trying to say it the same just that everyone has different accents. case closed
