How do you pronounce it?

I pronounce it like "Ys".  That is, something like "Yys". |

Definitely not. To understand better its pronounciation, look for Ys Book I & II for TurboGrafx 16 CD / PC Engine CD, the US version. In the introduction, the (incredible) narrator pronounces it how it is supposed to be. |

I say it the cool way.
Take the Y in "cherry" and then add S.
NOT like cherries - but cherrYs.

Lol, ok.
"Yaz" sounds cool as well, I think.

Lol, ok. "Yaz" sounds cool as well, I think. Only if you don't care that you're doing it wrong. Oh, and never ever dare to put an apostrophe into the name, lest we're forced to reopen the Romun Inquisition. |

Ys is pronounced like the first bit of Yggdrasil, you uncultured heathens and Lumi!

Only Ys VI for PS2 got Adol right.

Ys VI PS2... how I love that game.
Konami did a perfect job in everything, to me. With the obvious exception of the cutscenes... <.< Uuuuuurgh....

I liked the voices at first, but after visiting that ship where you fight those soldiers, I had to turn them off. I couldn't stand them anymore.
But Olha and Isha sounded really cool.

I too thought the voice work in Ys VI was well done. Nobody knows how horrible voice acting can be in video games until you play some titles from the TG16 CD. Final Zone 2 or Last Alert anybody?

Oh yeah! How could I forget Terra! I love that voice! I can understand that some people dislike it, but I think it is awesome. Dogi sounded too goofy. He might not be completely serious, but I consider him far more serious than that. I also really disliked that pig farmer's voice. He sounded like some poet, which he kinda was. I always thought it was a woman when I played the PC game. |

He has EXACTLY the same voice as that stupid kid who has a crush on Meg in Family Guy.

I loved the pig farmer's voice. It was so over-the-top and awesome. Especially when he was lamenting about how he was basically surrounded by pikkard crap.  -Tom Hehe... Emilio was so amusing. That overdone snobbery reminded me of The Scarlet Pimpernel, which is quite the good thing. And that boy is Cloa (according to Konami, though I think on some print I've seen it as Croix). I HATED his English voice, but the Japanese one was cute enough. |

I hope you aren't insinuating the drunken Rheda fisherman was badly, done, Wyrdy. Because that guy was glorious. =[
Also Terra still needs to take a vow of silence.

Hehe, the drunken fisherman was awesome. XD I completely agree with The Captain, however. Terra just needs to not talk. Ever.  |

I can't say if any character spoke well or not. I've only played through the game with the Japanese voice overs and I honestly don't care if they were done well or not. They did their job. I don't remember anyone sounding too annoying or odd, so that's good. But this is coming from someone who would actually prefer the Lufia II or Banjo Kazooie root in doing "voices". I just like to hear a tone to get an idea of the character's voice, really... then I can use my imagination to hear what I want to hear in terms of how I want them to speak a line.  The CG intro and the voice overs from that were as much as I could bare of the US additions to the game. I really feel sorry for people with the European version... |
