Square Enix uses the bastardized American pronunciation "man-nuh" for the English dubs, which is not incorrect, but the original pronunciation is "maw-nuh"

Today I learned that it's an indigenous Māori word, and as such we should probably be respectful and stick with how they pronounce it.

Weirdly enough that's how I've always pronounced it because of the amazing language: rallienglanti (it's English read out loud in Finnish way)

Lmao yeah same thing, pronouncing like 'mana' would be in Finnish word.
