[jarl]

O_o

im mostly in agreeance with whiteninja, but for RA- its rah, not ray! and, FOney is:

phone-wearl (like world, no 'd'), and caseal is like

ca-seal. so, rah-ca-seal, hue-ca-seal

[Moonwraith]

HUE-marr
HUE-cast
HUE-cah-seel
HUE-new-earl

RAH-marr
RAH-marrl
RAH-cast
RAH-cah-seel

FOE-marr
FOE-marrl
FOE-nyoom
FOE-new-earl

PSO is full of names that seem to be pronounced differently by different people >_>

A semi-off-topic point perhaps, but how do people here pronounce 'Dimenian'? Personally, I say 'DEE-MAY-NEE-ANN' which might sound a bit weird <_<

[Hrith]

If you had played the game in Japanese for 2 years, like I have, you'd know all names.

Japanese letters directly transcribe sounds.
And it is DEE-ME-NIAN (ディメニアン.

People may pronounce the names in funny ways, there is a standard pronunciation, dictated by Sonic Team.

[jarl]

dim-ian (ian said quickly)

lol, missed the 'e'

[Mirinee]

I just call them the "blue Ruins sharks" XD.

(I hope the Japanese display in this post works)

レイマ―
レイマ―ル
ラカスト
ラカシイ―ル

Where did you get those from? If that's what you're going by, then it indeed says "rah-cast", but I've also played PSOBB Japanese Beta and PSO Version2 JP, and the character classes were written differently as:

ヒューマー
ハニュエール <-- the HUnewearl exception
ヒューキャスト
ヒューキャシール

レイマー
レイマール
レイキャスト <-- says "ray-cast"!
レイキャシール

フォーマー
フォマール
フォニューム
フォニュエール And the "ホ" isn't quite there because it's already in the "ニュ".

[whiteninja]

I remember, one time I randomly bumped into someone at school who happened to play PSO. (There are like 1400 kids, and I didn't even know this guy, and I have no idea how we got on that topic, but anyway...)

I said "Uh-soo-kah" (Asuka), and he went on some huge rant about it being the "Ass-kah"

:S

[jarl]

lol- i call it 'a (as in about) sue ca (as in car with no r) not 'uh'

[nomercy]

Like Yamato.I say yah-mah-toe,but some people say it differently.

[TheUnnamedOne]

How can you say that differently?, Ya-Ma-To... umm, i can't think of another way,

EDIT: just realised:
[yah-mah-toe, or yah-mah-too] even though thats weird...

but i say

Hue-Mar
Hue-Ne-werl
Hue-Cast
Hue-Ca-seal

Ray-Mar
Ray-Marl
Ray-Cast
Ray-Ca-Seal

Foe-Mar
Foe-Marl
Foe-Newm
Foe-Ne-wearl
...
So do everyone i play it with,

[Hrith]

So does everyone i play it with

That does not mean you're right.


Mirinee, IME went funny on me, I don't recall putting any "ホ", and IME does not automatically converts "か" into "キャ" when going to Katakana (because aspirated consonants do not exist in Japanese).

As for ラキャスト <--> レイキャスト, it seems I remembered wrong <_<
