Funny how a bunch of characters (such as Demyx and Luxord) never had their names mentioned in the game, but you fought them anyway. How does Jiminy know their names?

Buh. How does Jiminy know most of their names, like the ones defeated back in COM? D:

One word: Magic! :D

On wiki (please don't punch me), the japanese romanization of the names are on there. It tells you how the names are pronounced.

But I don't know... the Japanese pronounciation differs slightly from American pronounciation. For example Roxas with Japanese accent/dialect (whatever..I dunno) is
Rowk-sauce
In the English version it's rock-sass....
the difference is slight but that's just because of pronounciation differences....


MY POINT is that pronounciation could differ slightly from the Japanese romanization on wiki
*gets punched*

Well, since the info is there right after the scene where they look in the Hallow Bastion computer, I'd assume that Jiminy found all that info on that computer. It wasn't sepcifically in the scene, but it still could've happened.

In any case, here are my pronounciations:

Xemnas: Zem-nus
Xigbar: Zig-bar
Xaldin: Xaldin (It's hard to be specific on this one)
Vexen: Vex-en (I personally don't see how ppl pronounce it Vee-xen)
Lexaeus: Leks-ae-us
Zexion: Zeks-ion
Saix: Saï-ix
Axel: Aksel
Demyx: Duh-mix
Luxord: Lucks-ord
Marluxia: Mar-louks-ia
Larxene: Larks-een

Some of those may not entirely be the way that they're pronounced in the game, but I don't like how they're pronounced in the game, that's why I still pronounce them the way I find is best. I find the games tend to add an unnecessary accent to the names that make them ugly.

On that same note, I dislike the way they pronounce Namine's name. In KH2, it's pronounced "Gnaw-meh-nay", whereas I prefer pronouncing it "Nah-mee-nay".
