Ugly, it's pronounced Ugly. As in Temple Ugly.

Grimoire is simply pronounced grime.

Feba · 11-15-2007, 12:47 PM

fun fact: even SE doesn't know how to pronounce some things in FF.

Someone asked how they pronounce Beadeux, Uggalepih, and so on awhile ago. Different people gave different results, there is no official answer because they never thought of it.

I don't support the JP version uses katakana, does it? Still, that can only be so much of a guide.
------------------------------------------
(for the reference, I pronounce it "UG-lay-pih". Maybe "UG~glay-pih". With an "Uh" sound, not "ah")

I've always prounounced Ugly as in Oog ah leph

Karinya · 11-15-2007, 03:42 PM

Einherjar: Get Valkyrie Profile (the first one) and you'll know how to pronounce this. They actually get it right (I think; not an expert on Scandinavian languages myself). Say "(n)ine hair yar(d)" dropping the consonants in ()s and you'll be pretty close.

Grimoire: "Grim War" would be pretty close, if you pronounced "war" to rhyme with "star".

Did you know "grimoire", "grammar" and "glamour" all come from the same word? Oh, and Glamor Jupon and Gramary Cape, too. (Both of which would be great items for SCH, hint hint. Most Brigid armors aren't job-exclusive, so there's no reason for GJ to be. But maybe I'm just saying that because I already have one...)

In the JP version it is written 「グリモア」, so said "Gri-moh-ah" basically.

Since somebody asked.

Balfree · 11-16-2007, 06:06 PM

Grimoire... as much as i like the word, its been replaced. O wellz!

Pteryx · 11-16-2007, 10:53 PM

Bah, why'd they replace it for NA? Do they think Americans are all bibliophobes? -- Pteryx

Nazo · 11-17-2007, 12:03 AM

Wasn't there a Grimoire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? There's your pronunciation lesson right there.

Well, some of us are bibliophiles, but I can see where they might get the opposite impression.

Yellow Mage · 11-18-2007, 08:51 AM

"Grimoire" sounds so much better than "Arts."

Anaki · 11-18-2007, 08:45 PM

but but does FFTA and FFTA2 still say grimoire D: clearly gba and DS players have better pronunciation then pc/ps3 players

or im totally wrong. also possible

Balfree · 11-19-2007, 01:50 AM

I first learned of the word Grimoire on a little pearl called Vagrant Story

Kailea · 11-19-2007, 04:45 AM

I place the blame squarely on the hunched shoulders of the unwashed xbox masses.
