   And this is why I don't like solely text-based RPGs. I never know how to PRONOUNCE THE FRICKIN' NAMES until one of the developers/extremely knowledged nerds tells me.

   I PLAY THESE GAMES FOR FUN, NOT AN ENGLISH LESSON DAMMIT!

   Clearly the inability for anyone to pronounce my name would make me the greatest JRPG character ever

   That video took me back to middle school where my friends and I had the same discussion on pronunciation.

   Okay how could anyone think that the letters in Red XIII's name aren't roman numerals?

   Come on, it's Final Fantasy. They use roman numerals for all kinds of things. Seriously how could anyone get that wrong

   All I could think of for Neo Bahamut in that voice was HULK SMASH PUNY SEPHIROTH! Not sure why… but now I wanna see Hulk smashing Sephiroth… I wonder if such a thing exists

    Pfft. JRPG character names are easy to proo-nuncificat!
    I'm a Rat-tat-tatta and I evolve into Rat-i-sade!

    Pronuncification in the TOP PER-CANT-IDGE!

    I've been sitting on a comic that I made for a week now, but Shawn won't post a Mass Effect submission so that it's relevant. :<

    Oh god, I laughed my ass off reading this comment. By the way, you owe me a new ass.

    I imagine this is what it would be like if M. Night Shamalamadingdong played FFVII… I'm looking at YOU Last Airbender movie

    I often go by JDRPG in other forums. Every time I see JRPG, I have to do a double take. Curse my awesome name!

    Once again opening myself up to a large number of -1s here, but am I the only one who thinks Dorkly's been on a steady decline in quality for some time now?

    Funny, me and my bro were just re playing FFIX and i was pronouncing everything wrong.

    Hey, a submission from Dorkly! You know what that means:
    * Awkward and lazy Flash animation!
    * Uninspired voice acting!
    * Humor pertaining to a 10+ year old video game that is old news to just about everybody!

    Don't even get me started on Cait Sith.

    dope: A drug taken illegally for recreational purposes, eg. marijuana or heroin.

    Meanwhile, in TF2 (or just TF2 trading, no one ever talks in vanilla TF2):

    "It's 'Mah-kin-uh', not "Muh-shin-ah'! And it's 'Fah-sahd', not 'Fuh-kaid'!"
