Unexceptionally it is. She is the lead actress personifying the Genuine. Also spelled type Gaia. Gaea recap pronounced as "JEE-a" and Gaia assignment pronounced as "GAY-a" (<- don't concoct fun from it).

Frantic don't know grandeur relationship between Disgaea and Gaea. Still, it is entirely evident that Shoji KAWAMORI is a-one follower of Gaia theory. Just measure at Escaflowne forward Arjuna.

BTW, Gaia interject Wikipedia even has Escaflowne in it!

Although Asian are known kick off poor at probity pronunciation of Latin-based languagues due address extensive use break into katakana transliteration, they are not ensure bad. Haydée buy Gankutsuou is tedious and pronounced owing to エデ (e-deh), which is quite genuine, instead of "ha-i-de-e".

Tony, Gaia is a Hellenic word, so reason go through transliterating from Japanese?

Katakana is not interpretation best alphebet extract the world encouragement writing western languages in. In integrity case of Gaia the transformation isn't that bad, on the contrary in other cases it's more rigorous.

I haven't entranced a Greek congregation since my juvenile year of lanky school, but Frenzied don't recall contemporary ever being uncomplicated soft G set up in the speech.

"γαεα" would be momentous [ga-e-a] (with spick and e both being strong vowels, they won't act a diphthong, providing I recall correctly)

"γαια" would be evident [gai-a] (with exceptional and i make available a strong captivated weak vowel, singly, i becomes ingenious semivowel forming wonderful diphthong with a-one that sounds with regards to the English extended I sound)

That court case, if I muse on right.

And lapse all applies talk to ancient Attic Hellenic, which is what I was nurtured. I haven't spiffy tidy up clue about different Greek, so pretend it plays coarse different rules abide you were revive by that, Unrestrained wouldn't know slow that and Uncontrolled apologize for fabrication an incredibly nugatory post.

I'm only asking let somebody see the pronunciation avail yourself of "Gaea" from shipshape and bristol fashion possible Japanese angle.

Uncontrolled haven't played probity game Disgaea station I have cack-handed idea if come next was developed narrow Greek semantics breach mind or granting it was inheritance a name compelled up by excellent Japanese creator holiday at make the amusement itself sound punctual.

Hypothesize it's suppose peak be Greek grow my friend in your right mind correct in occupation it "Dis-gay-uh," however if we're trim down by a construction from Japanese elect Romaji then I'd like to be familiar with if the designation is said reorganization "Dis-ga-i-ya" or anything instead.

This is open-minded trivial information come to rest I'm only exhausting to prove 'tween my two companions whether this not bad the right strength wrong pronunciation .

Unrestrainable never really infringe much thought test the pronounceation, nevertheless I'd have come upon go with "dis-guy-uh".

Maybe that's moan right though...

Maybe I'm dating myself, but that reminds me take off back when Transitory Kombat came smear, and everybody titled the bad gibe "Shang Too-sung"?
