Inventory | Gil as in Goth, gate or Lady Gaga. If I remember correctly, in the American Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy IV they switched it to "GP" as in gold pieces...FFIV was my first FF ever, so naturally, when I had first seen "Gil" in another FF title, I related it to the word gold. Makes sense to me, no matter how French I am. I probably would have done the same even had I never seen the term gold or gold pieces attributed to the serie's currency. I mean, do "krona" or "rupee" sound anymore "valuta"? O_o And those are REAL. ![]() Last edited by Terminus Est; 07-19-2009 at 10:36 PM.. | ||||||||||||

Inventory | I've always pronounced Gil like the company Gillette. So, like the girls name Jill. But then I found out the correct way is with hard g sound like gate. Quoted from Wikipedia, "Final Fantasy IV is the only game to explain the origin of the word; in that game, the word Gil is named after Gilbart, a common name for members of the royal family of Damcyan, and was originally used as the currency of Damcyan." | ||||||||||||

Inventory | I pronounce it like the gill of a fish. That might not be right, but I started the FF series before I knew how to pronounce Japanese words. Old habits die hard.

Inventory | Nope, I'm English and me and everyone I know say Gil. As you can see, other Americans have said Jill, and that doesn't mean the whole of America does! Same goes for other countries. I say Gil because its like Gold, as in currency which is what Gil is. Plus it sounds better. | ||||||||||||
