Yoo-fi? Yoo-ef-ee?

They shoulda made it easier to pronounce if they wanted people to call it that

      I thought about referring to her when describing the pronunciation but decided to go with something more universally understood (and I’m sure at least on person thinks it rhymes with “yuppie”).

      But I do appreciate the reference.

          The character is Yuffie Kisaragi from ‘Final Fantasy VII’, a JRPG game for PS1 from 1997 with astonishing staying power. I’m guessing the recent-ish quasi-remakes for PS4 have something to do with that, but FF7 has been in popular culture for the last thirty years pretty much non-stop.

            Thank you. Yuffie is the joke. Apart from a stab at ff X on a friend’s PS2 I’ve never got into those types of games.
