I often debate with myself how to say certain words in FFXII and the one that has annoyed me the most is the Sochen cave palace.
So just for clarification - how does everyone else say "Sochen"?

I think the Voice Actors actually say "So-chen" (with the ch- sound as in chain).

Haha Jeff. I meant to quote ya, and hit edit instead. My bad!

Oh no problem. You know if you edit a post within the minute that you posted it, it doesn't show that you edited it. As you are a mod, I say that could be thoroughly fun!

I pronounce it like ocean but with "s" in front of it.
Oh, but I do know, Jeff :D

As do I.
When do they ever say it in the game?

There are quite a few cut scenes in the game, it's been a while since I've played it so I can't pinpoint it, sorry.
I say "So-chen" (like "ch" as in "chicken") but I'm almost certain that in the in-game dialogue they say "So-hen". The C being silent.
However, in the original Japanese version of the game I believe it's called "Sohen". I know because I have the sheet music of that song and in the title which is written in Japanese the romanji spells out "soh-hen".
Dunno why they added the C.

The c is for character.

I pronouced it like ocean, glad to see I'm not the only one. Thanks for everyone's opinion.
I did have some other words I wasn't sure about but I can't remember them right now...

Got another one:
Eruyt Village
Any ideas?
I say "So-shen"...I guess that's like the "ocean" crowd~
Eruyt's a tough one, but I've always said "E-rooeet"...if that's anyway to explain or pronounce that... .-.

"eh-rue-eat" village
I know this is wrong, but whenever I talk about it I move the Y a few notches back and say "Eyrut" like rhyming with Beirut.

For Eruyt Village I simply drop the "y" and say "ee-root". Isn't this one pronounced in-game though?

I can't remember it being said in the game but its been awhile since I've played that period of the story. Must of missed it.

Sochen = So-tchen
Eruyt - �roo-it
(I'm actually pronouncing these using japanese pronounciation.)

This is quite an obvious one I suppose but am I right in saying that Steppe from the Cerobi Steppe is said just like step?

I'd say so...

So-chen
Ere-yoot
Yiy-az-mat
Here's one, pronounce Bahamut.
It irritates the crap out of me in this game cause they say
Baa-haa-mooooot (added extra letters for a long sound)
But I've always said it shorter like
Ba-ha-mit
How do other people pronounce that?
Slavka
10-02-2008, 04:17 PM
Well, I always pronounced it Ba-Ha-Moot, after hearing them say it. I guess I said it Ba-Ha-Mutt before...
Ba-ha-moot.
At least you're not hearing 'Ba-mu-hat', as people tend to typo it that way at times...

I do the same thing...And that's what I have done ever since I first encountered him way back when...They will not get me to change the way I say it...Mwahahahaha (that's supposed to be diabolical laughter, btw)...hahaha
Ba-ha-moot.
For Yiazmat I just say Yaz-mat. (Yazardous Material?).
Why bother pronouncing the I?

The one that really gets me is "MAR-kwiss". Call me crazy, but shouldn't it be pronounced "mar-KEE"?

That's what I thought.
Slavka
10-30-2008, 10:26 PM
Yes, I'm fairly sure it should be pronounced "mar-kee". At least that's how I said it before I heard it. I guess they thought "mar-kwiss" Ondore sounded cooler than "mar-kee" Ondore.

Well if it's such an official game then they have the right to pronounce anything anyway they please, be thankful they don't throw in their own made-up words and definitions..I mean the british pronounce everything a different way too..like "spot of tea".
American: Spaut of tea.
British: Spoht of tea.
