Always pronounced it Yuh-fee, but You-fee is fine.

Since we're on the subject of FF7 heroines, I pronounced Tifa like (Tiff-uh) in my younger days, but (Tee-fuh) sounds better now.

Her name is strangely written, based on what it should be. Yufi (based on the Japanese prononciation), but 2 fs and and ie. You-fi-ay, would be the technical way to pronounce it. I wonder if her name was supposed to be "Yufie,' but unlike Aerith, they never got around to changing it in subsequent versions.

As it is, I go with You-fee. Anyone who says Yuh-fee is a fan of dogs, thinks Yuffie is a dog (or a hippie/yuppie), and is just wrong.

Yuff-fah-kwahs

I say Yuff-ee but then I say most FF names the unintended way. I still say chocobo wrong!

*Fucking edit limit*

Also, her last name being Kisaragi, she is subject to Japanese naming conventions. You-fee (or You-Fee-Ay Key-Suh-Rah-Gee) is probably as close or accurate as one can get.

I say yuff-fee but recognize that the official pronunciation is most likely you-fee

How is it pronounced in the ff7r dlc?

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Oh, it's You-fee in the DLC, same as it was in Kingdom Hearts and really what the official pronounciation is. But she's still Yuh-fee to me. Think that's #2 on the "I'm always going to pronounce this wrong" FF character list next to Tidus.

....now what's the difference between Yoo-fee and You-fee in the poll options...

No because the 2 fs with ie means it's a diminutive name, which is always gonna be "fee"

It's funny how we interpret things differently

Tina was a really common name/nickname in the 90s, and Tifa is just Tina with an f

Would you say that people who are against pronouncing her name tee-fah would be antifa?

i used to say Yuh-fee because that's definitely what it looks like more in English, but once i heard the actual pronunciation i immediately switched, it sounds much better.
