Recently I've been questioning the way Ellone is pronounced.
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that it was pronouced like the word 'Alone' but with an E at the beginning.
Then i thought it was Ell- one (1) but that to me just sounded silly.
Now i'm thinking could it be pronounced 'Ell-on -ay'?
The computer voice (Microsoft Sam) says that it is said like the name 'Ellen'.
I want to know how everyone else pronounces it.
I'd say it would be pronounced El-Own. However different regional dialects can drastically change the way a word is pronounced. For example I wouldn't pass by the large majority of Americans to pronounce it E-Lone, as if the second L didn't exsist altogether. Name pronunciation is an iffy subject because there's no "correct" manner that it should be done in.
Due to loads of different pronounciations,it's hard to find the most perefect pronounciation.
I say it as Ea-lone.IMO.

:eep: It's simple..
Ell-on. As if the e isn't there.
Case closed.
I pronounce it the same way as Maxx Power, El-own.
Because you're American?
I'm British and thats how I pronounced it before I started getting questiony.
That´s why everyone simply called her El it was much more easy.
That's how I've always said it.Quote:

I pronounce it like alone too. Why can't the characters in this game talk like in FFX?!?! :( That would be cool!
Maybe, depending on whether or not the voice acting sucks.Quote:

Actually, I'm American, and I pronounce it a completely different way. I assumed the two "L"s made a "Y" sound, thus:
"Ey-ohn"
Ohn should be pronounced as the english word, "own."
Even if it's 'wrong', I'm gonna keep pronouncing it like that because it's different, and I personally think it sounds better. Maybe a bit more exotic, I guess.
Two L's making a Y sound... thats spanish isnt it?
yeah that's spanish.
i alwayz called her ell-oh-knee & i used to call seifer seafea-er lol & i still call galbadia gal-bay-dia lol
True, I always pronounce it El-Own though.Quote:

i have always said it el-own
and as for galbadia
i always say it like gal-bay-deer except stretch out the deer a bit more, like gal-bay-deeeeer
Here's a good one- How do you pronounce Quistis? Did I spell that right?
like... kwis-tis.
and I've always pronounced galbadia like that too. like gal-bay-dia
For me,
Ellone: L - Own
Galbadia: Gahl - bah - dia. I dunno why but i always said it like that.
Quistis: Kwi - Tis. Is the S silent? I have no idea ... :P
Quistis ~ Kwistis or Kwistus (depends how fast I say it and whether I'm payin attention to the way I say it :P)
For me, Quistis is 'Key-stis'.
I pronounce it like "Kwists". Other times I pronounce it "Kwis-tis".
Considering that it's spelled "GALBALDIA", I pronounce it as "Gawl-bawl-dee-uh".
i say quistis like quiz-tiss
Either El-own or Ell-oh-nee.
And Galbadia has always been pronounced Gal-bay-dia. How else would it be pronounced?
Actually it's spelt GALBADIA. You added an extra L.Quote:
