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.

"KSILL-liya"
What? That sounds natural to me.
From what I remember the Katakana show it as ekselia. But when I see the name I also have to think about Zillia.
Starting with a z-sound.
But sometimes like ksillia too. I can't make up my mind.
zill-ee-ah
And those people are wrong :grover:Quote:

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 XilliaQuote:

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