But I think I have to. How do you incorrectly pronounce "Chocobo"? :(?

It's pronounced as 'seed'. Think about it, a 'seed' in a 'garden'.

Maybe to make it sound more unique and not so plain. I dunno, but in one of my friend's old magazines before the game was released, they even said how to pronounce 'SeeD' as the word 'seed'. Kinda like how to say Titus right.

I always say "Choe-koboe", and that's the way it'll stay. If you have any doubt, just play FFX / FFX-2, they say it often enough there.

As for SeeD...I always say seed, though I don't think this is worth writing home about.

FFVIII fans care.

I also always thought of it as seed.

it's 'seed' is it not? wasn't there a thread like this way back?

Yeah, I always pronounced it as seed, one of those you shove in a flower pot...

I'm not sure it matters though, really. Just think about it.

I remember when I was a wee lad, I was "blind" and I saw "choboco" instead of chocobo.

Oh, and I pronounce SeeD seed.

Kefka

Yeah, I remember reading it as "Seed," but I'm just lazy.


i once knew a guy who pronounced it as "chickyboo". =\

LOL

I used to pronuonce it "chock-OH-BOH" until I heard the way other people were pronounce it, now I go along with the "CHO-kuh-bo."

Yea I just go alone with everyone else with "CHO-kuh-bo."

And the SeeD thing I just say seed, no one cares about how you say that, lol.

Okay, two things:

- We know how "chocobo" is pronounced (it is indeed CHO-kuh-bo) because they say it Final Fantasy X.

- We know how SeeD is pronounced too, for sure. In Final Fantasy VIII, if you tell the guard that's torturing Squall that you'll tell him SeeD's plan, Squall makes a fakey storey about the purpose of Garden and SeeD being to "spread seeds" to make flowers and steal people's desire for war. Then they swoop in and attack.

I think the D in caps at the end of SeeD threw people off into thinking that it was pronounced c.d.

Agent0042
02-18-2007, 02:13 AM
Yeah, that's probably true, I used to pronounce it that way for a while myself until I found out the right way.

TidesOfWar
02-18-2007, 04:10 AM
i'll always pronounce it c.d, it always sounded cooler that way to me.


i once knew a guy who pronounced it as "chickyboo". =\

lmao and sorry to question it, but how does someone go from Chocobo to Chickyboo?

Jimsour
02-18-2007, 03:04 PM
I'd say the D is in caps because "Seed" looks silly. SeeD looks better, somehow.

Agent0042
02-18-2007, 08:23 PM
Agreed, definitely. If you're going to call your organization something sorta lamish-sounding like "Seed" it definitely lends a certain coolness / interest to it if you put the 'd' in the end as a capital.

yea, it sounded cooler then sending Seeds in to fight the sorceress.

SeeD could also be Cid's idea to throw people off with them thinking its an archanam-Sp?- like B.L.T. stands for Bacon lettuce tomato some people would spend years trying to figure it out and come up naught. I think it would be something Cid would get sick pleasure from. I know I would. =)

Well, it's like Squall said, and I like I alluded to earlier in this thread...

Warden: Don't mess with me! Edea says you know something! Now spit it out! Talk! What is SeeD all about!?
Squall: (SeeD... Aren't we... mercenaries...from Balamb Garden... Special forces...?)
Warden: Hm? Yeah, so!?
Squall: (I...I don't know any...anything... W-Why...do you...keep...asking...me...)
<<...I'll lie...I must live...>>
Squall: ......
Warden: What's that?
Squall: ...Flower.
Warden: What did you say?
Squall: The true...goal of SeeD...To spread...seeds all over the world... Fill...the world w...with flowers.
Warden: Yeah right...!
Squall: I...It's the truth. See...ing flowers...Takes...away people's will to fight.
Warden: What then? SeeD wants to bring love and peace to the world...? Ha haha hah! Don't make me laugh! You can't fool me!
Squall: W-We...steal the will to fight...Then we in...invade...
Warden: ...What? Hey!!! Watch him!

Gharmos

yea, it sounded cooler then sending Seeds in to fight the sorceress.

So it's cooler to send a bunch of these in rather than a load of seeds?



(Actually yeah it would seem that way...)

Well i think that an old Backstreet Boys C.D is far more intimidating then a handful of Tomato seeds.
