The reference of loki and death is biblical...it was the angel of death loki who rained fire and killed the first born sons in egypt. Don't you guys watch kevin smith movies?!

Ahh sorry about the confusion about Loki. I always learned that he was the GOD of the underworld, and Hle was the GODDESS of the underworld. My fault. blush.gif

That's okay Caesar, Norse is a complicated mythology.

Shi (long)-vuh
or Shee-vuh?

I believe the Indic languages pronounce their god Shiva with an "e" sound, but in FF it's a pun on shiver. Hahahaha. The Hindu god Shiva is male though, in case you didn't know.

Let's see you figure out the truth of this quote...dun dun dun.

"The following sentence is true. The preceding sentence is a lie."

Yeah, that was lame. <_<

I knew it was male god, and the whole legend behind it. I know enough about mythology. I always pronounced it Shee-vuh, but that's probably from habit in Mortal Kombat's Sheiva.

Kefka = Keff-kuh
Sabin = Say-bin
Celes = Cell-ess (With stronger pronounciation on the second e)
Cyan = Sigh-anne
Locke = Lock
Gau = Gow

I always wondered how Behemoth was pronounced. I pronounce it Beh-heh-moth, but I've heard someone say Beh-hee-moth...and Tritoch. I pronounce it Try-tok.
