MWHAHA i always thought it was Tee Fah too.

Tee fah works for me, but we pronounce Barret like that thing chicks put in their hair. I'm glad there's a better way to say it, i really didn't like calling him that.

As for that fish thing, we say it right because we DON'T say it french

Pronouncing "-et" as "-ay" is pronouncing it French, and every American I've heard say it, says "-ay". Which confuses me because I would've imagined we'd be closer to that pronounciating being right next to France.

Richard American? What on earth makes you think that? I've been best friends with him since I was little. Meaning we used to live near each other.

I might be thinking of someone else then.

I've always called her "Tee-fah," simply because that what I felt flowed best. Plus, "Ty-fah" sounds totally stupid. Besides, Japanese names don't instantly become American just because the game or series gets released here. If I ever heard someone call Sanosuke from Kenshin "Say-no-sook" I'm quite certain that some sort of grotesque violence would immediately follow.

That's true, but it would mean we'd have to say Cloud as "NNGGGCLOUDAHH!"

Rokkuhāto

The Japanese pronounciation for Tifa's last name.

barret = burrito

When they translate a game I think they should take a few more things into account.

they used to change whole storys
that was bad
they used to change whole names.
that can be justified in certain situations.

I think if you can justify changing a characters name then you can certainly justify changing somthing as small as a pronounciation.

it just seems like somthing any good translator would do. after all, language is his job.
Somtimes an original element just doesnt work out in a whole other country....on the other side of the planet.

I'd just like to add here that Hironobu Sakaguchi got absolutely no recognition in the credits for this movie. Sure, make a sequel movie using the characters, world, plot, and music based on his game, but don't give him any credit for it. That's asking way too much. I hate Tetsuya Nomura.

Ben wanted me to point out everything I saw wrong with this movie...but I don't know if I have the energy.

I want you to list what's wrong also...

it makes it easier for me to know what to bitch about without having to watch it myself

after the failed FF:TSW, Sakiguchi got fucked by Square-Enix.

Nomura owns and it's not his fault that SE smell and show absolutely no loyality to a man acreditted with almost single handedly saved them from extinction back in 80's.

But he cost them ~120mil you can see their point.

In animation terms. TSW > AC.

Some of, if not all of, the animation in Advent Children is appauling. I get the feeling they concentrated too much on what the actual characters look like, but forgot to give them character.

So you can bitch about that if you like.

I hadn't really thought about it but I think I agree. I found with TSW, I sometimes kinda forgot that I was watching an animation.

good point Joe.

hell i've showed that movie to people and had them say... there's something funny about this movie, but i can't put my finger on it. After i tell them it's all CG, they just about die. Very amusing.
