    During the brief part in the 2.3 trailer you could at least understand the female vocalist a bit.

    You could find+replace "Ramuh" with "Leviathan" and the article carries almost exactly the same level of informative content.

    Yeah lol, you're completely right. On one hand I'm glad they didn't spoil how to handle actual mechanics(like it matters for hard mode) but on the other I have to wonder what the point even was of the article. It tells us absolutely nothing other than "nanabooboo I got to play and you didnt"

    You can sum up the entire content of the article in 2/3 of a haiku:

    Ramuh: lightning.
    The battlefield? It is round.
    The rest is secret.

    I always said "Rah-mah" but I guess I'm wrong.

    That's how I said it too, but the voice acting has it sounding with -moo.

    Always been "rah-mah" to me too, but it's a made up name based off of Rama, which when pronounced in Hindi sounds like it starts with a D.

    Based on XIV's trend of awkward and dumb pronunciations (any character saying Eorzea is still like nails on a chalkboard to me) "rah-moo" would come as no surprise.

    I say Rah-moo-uh, but I don't remember the in-game pronunciation.

    If you prefer, the first line can be (in "Japanese") rah-moo: lie-toe-ning

    I always called it Ruh-moo as a kid, but then I switched to Rah-muh more recently. Now it sounds like the voice acting uses Ruh-moo? You toy with my heart, square enix.

    It is pronounced nothing like "rah-mooh" in Hindi, which you'd know if you read the thread because I already posted this.

    I was similarly sad when I found out Bahamut wasn't "baha-mutt" and Chocobo wasn't "cha-ka-boh."

    "rah-muh" 4 LIFE.
