Thane Gaming | How to Pronounce: EarthBound Edition - Thane Gaming @ThaneGaming | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Giygas? Giegue? Onett? PSI? The pronunciations for these fantastical names have haunted the EarthBound community like Tiny Li'l Ghosts for decades. They come from games with zero voice acting, so players (especially English players) have had to take their best guess--resulting in varying and often contended ways of saying them. This video is to try and clear up the "sci" vs. "P-S-I" debate, the "Guy-gas" vs. "Geeg-us" argument, and other offenders like Lumine Hall.
