I still call Ys WISE
« on: September 25, 2013, 04:48:23 AM »
I first played the SNES version in about 1995 , a friend lent it to me. I hated it

Years later I got Ys 3 for the Duo and I loved it. I played and beat that one before 1 & 2 so I didnt know it was pronounced EASE . Me and my buddies that always called it WISE still call it that. Nostalgia, plus it sounds cooler.

EESE.  GEESE without the "g"

NOTE: Guess what game I called "CHEENAH WARRIOR" for months. Granted, an idiot at school told me that was the pronunciation and I believed him (this was before Genesis/TG-16 had launched). But still...

Mispronouncing English words when you're natively English is pretty hardcore I must say...  :clap:

Seriously though, being natively French speaking I pronounce them a little different than you guys so who am I to judge? You'd laugh at how I'm saying Neutopia & Psychosis :lol:

You have to tell us. BETTER YET, record it (audio) and let us be entertained. I'll host the file if you'd like (PM).

STATUS: Entertainment.

I think my best bud would love the Ys series, But he only ever played that cursed SNES game and never gave any of the other games a fair shake. I should force him to play the Steam versions sometimes.

On topic, I never mispronounced Ys since the first time I hears about it was in a magazine long ago who in the first sentence told you how to pronounce it. Ryu, on the other hand... I know how it's supposed to sound. When speaking, I even pronounce it as correctly as my gaijin accent will allow, but I still read it in my head as Rye-Yoo.

lucky me I'm coming from a country which in most of the cases pronounces/reads japanese words written in latin alphabet (romaji) just like the japanese equivalent almost non-distortion/-deformed.
