How is Luclin pronounced?

[SamwiseRed]

whats more important is how do you pronounce chocobo, ive heared at least 4 or 5 different pronunciations.

mines really weird but ive been saying it this way since i was a kid playing ff3 on the SNES. i say

chalk - a - boo (but without the l sound in chalk)

ive heard cho ko boe

choke a boe

ect

Loose-lin? There are two consecutive consonants in Luclin, therefore it'd be either luck-lin or look-lin. For the english language both would fall under the rules.

Not the worst butchering of an expansion I've heard tho. When Velious first came out I had a friend constantly call it "Velashious". I had no flipping clue what he was talking about, and thought he was having a stroke.

This reminded me....back around velious we had a coworker start playing who butchered a lot of the names. This was a middle aged man and he had his own lexicon going:
Potions were called "portions"
Lake of Ill Omen was "Lake of Ill-e-ome"
Cougar claw earrings were "Courage claw earrings"
And my favorite ....charisma was "chism"

He never made it to Luclin so I'm not sure how he would have translated that one.

luck-lin confirmed by a customer service rep when i had issues when i first bought the expansion. during the call i kept on saying loose-lin and the CSR kept saying luck-lin. I asked after about 5 minutes of this and he confirmed the proper way to pronounce. I swear this happened [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's funny how so many europeans know how to pronounce english words better than americans. Also it seems like we know how to spell english words better.

It's just par for the course. I had to convince some of my workmates in the US that they didn't, in fact, invent the English language. It came from England, hence "English". No really, I'm not kidding.

I can't understand a word English say. And I am American! Sounds like they are grabbing their tongue when they speak. They all need to go to Proper University. Well after Holiday.

I remember playing EQ2 and how the NPCs would actually speak and not just speak with text. The one particular NPC that spoke to me pronounced it "Luck-lin." Now don't ask me what NPC that was, cuz I have no clue. I just remember her pronouncing it that way.
