I want more G1s to check out the review below for more than one reason... If you liked Chrono Trigger, you may like this full history look at the game and the collectability, but I also want to take a survey on whether I pronounced some of the names the way you pronounced them -- for example "Magus" among others!

How do you say that? I know we each have our own ways of saying names and titles over the years of gaming, but I wanted to open the conversation see what the G1s recall as "I don't quite know how to say that." I know there are issues when pronouncing "Ninja Gaiden" and other Japanes-centric titles as well - what are some of yours? What other names and gaming words have been mispronounced (or had multiple pronunciations) over the years?
I have a few.
Celes from FFVI and Marle from Chrono Trigger, to name a couple.
I pronounced Magus the same
I pronounced Magus the same way, but I referred to Ayla as "ay la". Also I believe the correct way to pronounce the time ship Epoch is "ee-pock" Though I always changed its name anyway.
Either way great lookback to my favourite game. I never owned it for SNES (but borrowed and played my firend's copy many times). I even bought Chrono Cross before I owned a Playstation or PS2. Of course, I also bought the PS version of Chrono Trigger as well.
Have you checked out Chrono Symphonic? It's somewhere online. Basically, it's the music of CT if it were done for a movie or something.
Marle, Ayla, Epoch, Magus and more
Yeah I had the same problems - "ee-pock" does sound better and it's spelled that way as well. I kind of miss the mispronunciation from back in the day when there were only gaming magazines and no-voice acting. It was all word of mouth and friends who determined how things were pronounced. Maybe it was regional? If you ask Ito and I from Connecticut, we always said "Ninja Geh-den" instead of "Ninja Guy-den"
I had people contact me after these reviews and said Magus is actually "mage-us"
I go by how the word Magus
I go by how the word Magus is pronounced everywhere else. Like in the cartoon Gargoyles, they refer to the wizard as The Mag-us.
