How do you pronounce 'Xillia?'

[AssassinDX]

I've personally always said it like "Zilly-ah," but I was talking about tbis game with a friend the other day and he called it "Ex-illy-ah" which I found... weird. How do you pronounce it, and is there actually a correct way?

I always pronounce it with a Z sound. Like xylophone.

I think some people say exylophone. But I digress. I say the first one. Which means it probably is not correct. I am always wrong on these sorts of things

[Karifean]

"KSILL-liya"

What? That sounds natural to me.

[Sephiroth]

From what I remember the Katakana show it as ekselia. But when I see the name I also have to think about Zillia.

[Mirage]

Starting with a z-sound.

But sometimes like ksillia too. I can't make up my mind.

zill-ee-ah

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I think some people say exylophone.

And those people are wrong :grover:

[Quindiana Jones]

Shillia, because of Pinyin ruining my perception of x.

I have never attempted to say this word and probably never will so I don't need to worry about pronunciation.

I may type it though... in that case I would spell it Xillia

What if some crazy person holds you at gun point and says he will shoot you if you don't say Xillia

Unfortunately for English-speakers, the correct way is actually the second poll option... but it's unnatural, so I use the Z-sound anyway.
