I would say voice acting solved this problem, but it seems like even VA’s guess on half these pronunciations.

Did you know the site has over 4,000 video game themed lolz?

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
Today is even worse!
…
Fal'Cie…
L'Cie…
…
Hecatoncheir…
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
Pity those with Spoonerisms having to do let's plays
If there were a pronunciation hammer grammar nazis would be having a hey day.
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
Meanwhile in the real world:

HOLY SHEET, RENA IS AFTER US!!!
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.
Oh, well that explains this

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.
92: how many times i hit that shit so far.
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'!"
Videogames, teaching us language against our wills.
HEY DICK-RO DO YOU WANNA JOIN OUR GUILD?!
It's "Die-crow"
"SURE THING DRY CO."
The style reminds me of B^Uckley. I just…I just can't…
what, no one addressed ether? it's EE-ther! was that the joke? the only real word is completely ignored?
