CokBlockinWinger on February 3, 2026 3:06 am Japanese vowels are “*ah* (a), *eh* (e), *ee* (i), *oh* (o), *oo* (u). Congratulations. Now you can read most Japanese words written in English.
midrifter80008 on February 3, 2026 3:10 am Eye-koh. Don’t care what the “right” way is. Also…one of my top 5 fav games of all time.
LiminyWrenn on February 3, 2026 3:19 am Iirc, the series is called Trico, after the Last Guardian, and hints at it being a trilogy. So tri, like triangle. Eye-co. I think with localization it’s up for debate.
