What, so you English guys actually PRONOUNCE a final "e" sometimes?

I thought you constantly went "the word ends with an e, so let's omit the letter altogether, as usual".

In english words, that is the case.

However, in final fantasy, a game developed in Japan, many of these names are created by japanese programmers/writers, and some english speaking people would rather attempt to pronounce the name in Japanese.

Hence, they pronounce the e on the end of Bikke as "ee" or "ay", or however they think its pronounced in Japanese, or however they see fit.

I say bick. or at least I say it in my head. I don't know if I've ever spoken aloud about FF1 in my life. Well, actually I have, but that was to discuss how to pronounce GrOgre.

Beek-kay, but you have to say it so that the middle two k sounds are ALMOST like one. There is something like a nasal pause in between there.

I pronounce it "Bic." "Bike" sounds weird.
