M-a-gus or M-a-jus?

Their is several arguments over the correct pronounciation of Magus’ name. Personally I beleive it is "M-a-jus". And I’m nearly %100 sure it is. But the thought of me being wrong still lingers in my head. Whats you guys’ opinion?

There really isn’t much of a debate here. I have always called him Ma"gus", instead of Ma"jus". Don’t you think that if they wanted his name pronounced with a "j", when they would have replaced the "g" with it? Makes sense to me.

Yeah it seems logical, but they call Tidus from FFX "Tedus"… Meh, I dunno

It’s pronounced ma-j-us for sure. I always pronounced it ma-g-us, but if you play the japanese verion, his name is a japanese word for "magic"

so it’s difinitely ma-j-us

PS:

Ayla ——— Eira
Crono ——– Chrono
Frog ——– Kaeru (‘frog’)
Magus ——– Maou (‘magic’)
Marle ——– Marl
Nadia ——– Marldia
Lucca ——– Lucca
Robo ——– Robo

Ha! Ha ha! Ha! Ha! Ha ha! And Ha!

I’ma still gonna call him magus though, I always have; easier on the tongue

I can’t go without saying Ma-jus. Its just so beautiful. Like my mirror. Can you tell I’m tired?

Isn’t magus a normal word in the dictionary? I know I once looked it up… because I’m a fangirl….

However, I played this game in 1999, and back then I was glad to understand most of the text in the game, and didn’t care about the English pronunciation, so I went with "Magus", with the "Aaaahhh" as in falling down a cliff, the G as in great, and the us as… erh… erh… *thinks hard*

Well somethings aren’t always pronounced as they are spelled

Anyway Magus is an actual word i think it means magician or warlock

I don’t think that necessarily means it’s pronounced Ma-j-us. Ma-g-us is a variation on Mage, so they both make sense.

Anyhow, I say it Ma-gus.

I pronounce it Mage-us. But that’s just me.

Yes, it’s completely different from the two answers offered, but my pronounciation skills have never been the best, so I’ll stick to it. 🙂

It’s obviously pronounced "ma" as in the abreveation of mom, and "gus" as in the name Gus. "ma" "gus" so as you can see Magus is realy a transexual parent who lost a child named Gus and because of this lost turned Goth and hung out in the middle ages.

You can not deny my logic.

O…k… I dunno, I just like it as ‘Mage-us’. Thats the way I’ve always said it and that sounds the coolest. So I’, sticking with it

What’ve ye done?

Does it really matter?

I mean you have seen the word. You can recognize it if you see it. And you have it memorized…

So for all I care you can forget saying the word at all

I’ve always pronounced it M-a-gus…
I don’t know, nor do I care If I’m correct. If thats what I thought it was the first time I read it, than thats what it is……….to me anyways. 🙂

I see where your coming from, but I recently met a FF7 fan who called Chocobo’s "Cha-cu-bu’s". That just hurts my ears. Although, I agree. If you like the game then your cool enough.
