Khura'in/Kurain = Koo-rah-in
... I've been saying Koo-rain for so long, so learning this was an experience.

Actually, in the trilogy, if you examine a scroll in either 2-2 or 3-2, Phoenix will read the Japanese as "Ku... ra... in." So that clues you in on how to pronounce it.

I still say "Koorain village" though.
That, and I say "May-a" instead of "My-ah" like her name's actually pronounced. I can't say "My-ah", That's the name of an Australian shopping chain "Myer" LMAO plus I know a "May-a".

I know in Japanese, both the village and the country spell "Kurain" differently, but yeah, this new spelling in English is trying to be more phonetic.

Fun fact: I was 12 when i first played AA, and i was on 2-2 and got the Magatama and I said "A mahguhta *pause* ma?"
And now I can't not say magata ma

Do you say "Grossberg" as "Gross" like "ew, that's gross!", or like "Cross", just starting with a "G". For some reason I'd read it as the latter. When I started playing (I was 14 when I first played AA) I would think "he's not gross" (But now I know it's in reference to his weight LOL)
I've probably completely botched the entirety of this game's names XD And now they just stick

LOL I think "gross" also means large (Like gross domestic product and such). But yeah, that's interesting. So I was saying it the right way all along? (Cross with a G?)

I pronounce Grossberg like Stephen Grossberg. No Cross.
Is it really "Gross" like "cross"? I never even though of pronouncing it that way!
Mind blown.

Those are correct. Gramarye can be debatable, but it's without a doubt, 100% Psyche Locks

Have always pronounced it "Gram-ear" in the few times I have said the words aloud.
Let's hope the anime English dub doesn't take long! Will clear all of this up.

Personally, I've always said Kurain as 'Cure-Ein'. On the Gramarye subject, I say it as 'Gram-Air'. I also ended up saying 'Psych' when talking about the Psyche-Locks, but noticed my error when Phoenix said something like, "I can see the locks on your Psyche.", though I personally usually say Pyscho-Locks, since I think it sounds cooler. I also once made the 'May-a' mistake, but my dad told me it was 'My-ah', so that fixed it. I also at first said 's last name as 'Cakes', which was pretty silly.
's last name as 'Cakes', which was pretty silly.Athena Cakes.
That is what she is called from this point on.
Any objections?

Only if they're not made with orange juice!

Yeah, I have no idea where I was going with that.

Athena Cakes is definitely happening now!
And I always said Gramarye as "Grammar-yay" (And I'd say "Atroquinine" and "Gavinners" as "Atroquine" and "Gavin-eers" for the longest time XD)

First day on the site, and it looks like I've already started something. Yep, from now on, the Wright Anything Agency's newest addition is a young lady named Athena Cakes!

I'd trust Janet's pronunciation as she made up all the English names XD
I'm really confused now. Is Kurain pronounced Koo-Ryne, or is it Koo-Rah-In? Or Koo-Rain? Cure-Ain?

TBH if you want to know, maybe re-watch the livestream and copy how Janet says it. I don't think it matters how you pronounce it though, it shouldn't affect your understanding of the game (Unless there's another "Hugh O'Connor" -> "You're a goner" moment XD)
