Suikoden one of Top 7 Mispronounced Game Names
Well, its nothing important, except the first time I saw Suikoden in an article in a long time. It got onto the front page of Digg.

Its one of the top seven mispronounced game names, apparently.

Glad to see I've been pronouncing it correctly all these years. ... Ys is a different story...

Man the artwork on the original sucked. I dont like to think it but maybe Suikoden would have been more popular if it had just been called "Stars of Destiny" but hey what can you do?
I wish I could say they did'nt have a point but how many threads have been made about how you correctly say the name.

PSX Emulator Questions are here, if you have problems. Ask and hopefully I can help. Formerly known as Seifer by the way.

Haha, well at first I pronounced it like Su-e-ko-den, than I called for one of the games and the guy was like Swee-ke-den or something like that.

Re: Suikoden one of Top 7 Mispronounced Game Names
Fancy that, me doing something right. But yeah, I had a friend who I introduced to the series, and he kept pronouncing it "So Kee Den". It boggled me. But I didn't hold it against him, because he bought me my copy of the original Suikoden.
Yeah!

I personally pronounce it "Luh Ren Wee", but frenched up a bit with a corny French-Canadian accent.
Yeah!

I was glad to see I'd been pronouncing it correctly so long. Ys I knew how to pronounce for some reason long before I ever played it, I used to read a lot so I guess that's where I figured it out. Like Taliesin.
