I believe there is actually a conversation between Elma and a Xenoblade 2 party member (i think Brighid) where they shortly discus how they pronounce Nopon.

The katakana is absolutely zen-no. But did you consider that they were trying to spell an English word with katakana and the zee sound doesn't exist in Japanese. The logical katakana that would correspond to that sound actually makes a ji (gee) sound. So ゼ which is romanized any "ze" sound would be the kana they would look to when spelling xenoblade. They presumably knew that "xe" was pronounced as though x was a z. When trying to find kana for the zee sound it would look like this. The s sounds with the quote looking symbol make the z versions of those sounds. So サ(sa) セ(se) ス(su) シ(shi) ソ(so), become ザ(za) ゼ(ze) ズ(zu) ジ(ji) ゾ(zo). As you can see they have no way to spell either the see sound or the zee sound. So they go with ゼ because that gets romanized to ze. I don't actually care about the pronunciation. I just happened to have started learning Japanese and wanted to share this. Edit: Additionally Japan took the English name for Mexico when deciding how to spell it. So they call it meh-kee-she-ko. If they used the Spanish pronunciation they could have pronounced it exactly as intended. But no, they used English, and the sound made by "xi" in Mexico is completely foreign to the Japanese language. Most of them probably can't pronounce it correctly.

I didn't know Rufus Jones narrated the DE overview trailer, that's cool! Also, there's a cheeky bit in Xenoblade 3 where one of Ino's menu voice lines backs the long E pronounciation; "This is only the beginning of Inoblade Chronicles!" Which is as close as we'll ever get to a proper title drop in the series.

That transition from the piano of Engage the Enemy into the much softer piano of Carrying the Weight of Life at around 14:55 was beautiful. Given how perfectly it lines up I'd have a hard time believing it wasn't intentional. I'm also surprised you didn't mention Celica during the Nopon tangent at the end. Seeing as she's the only character in X that speaks with a British accent, she is also the only character that pronounces "Nopon" the way it's done in the other three Xenoblade games. I feel like that sets enough of a precedent that the non-UK accented characters in 2 could've gotten away with the long-O-Nopon too, but I don't blame them for just keeping it consistent (outside of Elma.)

It's pronounced nah-pon nowhere, first I heard is this video. It WOULD be something like nópon versus nòpon if your language was real, but now you can't even DESCRIBE what you're saying, besides going somewhere like nuhpon or nahpon. And you're saying THAT "with an American accent", which just creates a recursive fractal of mispronOUncing the mispronUnciation. Capitals because you can't even write those words either, you just toss in the letters randomly. So the least you could do is make up a genuine system, apply yourself even the slightest, and decide WHEN are you saying foreign words and when you're naturalizing them. Like the japanese do, and Koreans do even way better. They HAVE industry and universities, while USA doesn't seem to manage anything but Bureau of Indian Affairs and keeping Spanish out of children's schools so they have to learn genders through their second langauge. Which is US english, containing what, 72 of them? a bit more than Das, Die or Der thanks to John Money.

So back in 2014 or 2015, I cant remember which year exactly but it was her first time visiting the US for a con/autograph signing/photo ops/etc, I met Jenna Coleman at the Indiana Comic-Con and took my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles to have her sign. When I handed her my copy of the game I remember clearly the way her face lit up as she said "Oh! Xenoblade Chronicles (pronounced Zeh-no), I remember this"! Now yes that may just be because she is from the UK and therefore pronounces it differently than an american would, but I figured at the time if anyone would know how to pronounce it she would, so since then Ive assumed that was the correct pronunciation. I still call it Zee-no when talking about it though because my american ass just cant seem to train my brain to say zeh-no lmao!

Too bad your culture hasn't discovered writing and has to fumble around copypasted Latin letters. Pronounce? None of your schools can teach how they "should" be WRITTEN. That's animal-level intelligence. Literally every genuine nation with any adjacency to Rome at least uses diacritics, even LATIN America. But they have more Romance things to say, than Semper fi and drop a bomb on children. There are systems like Hangul and Shavian, but USA is allergic to culture that has has a shelf life past 80 years of heritage, until you salt the earth again and start over. Like the cluster bombs still randomly exploding in Laos and Vietnam, and still making up generational wealth because the arms deal money was invested. It all sounds rather xenophobic.

@@jvbc29 The reason for that is simple. Considering the way English works, it would be kinda confusing to refer to letters by their sounds, especially considering that letters can have _several sounds each,_ including consonants. Take C and K for example. Make a K sound. Technically you could also be making a C sound. Now make an S sound. You could also just say you are making a C sound. Depends on the word. Therefore, we need to be able to refer to the letters without confusing them for other letters. The solution was to give each letter name for itself, specifically when talking about them AS letters. Now as for Greek, I have _no idea_ if that whole concept works there.

We are insufferable.

Japan has it very difficult with their alphabet to say /ksi/, /kse/ or even /zi/. /ze/ is the most approximate thing they can do with their alphabet. Though the issue also lies with English. English cannot have a consistent vowel definition even if it killed all the speakers. Imagine when you go to check the phonetics and you see that e has the /i/ or /i:/ phonetic symbol.

Exactly, a lot of folks don't seem to realise that Japanese inherently lacks a few of our sounds and they have to modify the transliteration intrinsically to even say it. The true answer to the question would be more so related to which language they originally took the prefix from rather than how it's pronounced in Japanese. If English or any other language with the long e, then Zeeno is correct. Otherwise Zehno is correct. Regardless it doesn't matter much so go off lol

The only word I see people get mostly wrong is "πνεύμα " but i get it -i wanted to add that if we take xenoblade word by word and translate it in greek we get the word. "Ξένο-ξίφος ". Ξένο means that something or someone is strange or you don't know. Ξίφος its just blade. About "πνεύμα" though it felt kinda strange to me why they used this name cause we have many different meanings just for this word..we use πνεύμα to call out a ghost for example or a strange entity, other times we use it to adress people souls/our souls and also its used to adress the holy ghost from our chritsian religion thus comes the phrase "άγιο πνεύμα" .sorry for my rumbling hope my input help you all.

I just consider the two Xeno pronunciations to be dialectal variation or even in free variation in English (Merriam-Webster's, the American dictionary, has a short e as the primary pronunciation for most Xeno words.), and you can pronounce it either of those two choices. This is as opposed to NieR: Automata, which is pronounced in a mangled Japanese transliteration in English by many English speakers. That pronunciation is not a valid pronunciation for the English word "automata". (I think that is because the English word is a rare plural of a rare word, and English speakers instead connect to automobile or similar words, as a template instead.)

Mary, marry, and merry all have unique pronunciations in proper neutral English, but 2 or more of them sound and are pronounced the same in almost every accent. Xeno and Xeno could be just a symptom of that, or alternatively, the most used English language word with 'Xe' is Xerox, which is pronounced "Zee-rocks", and almost every other instance of an xe- word isn't used ever, so general english linguistic pronunciation just twisted that tiny bit thanks to the printer company.

I swear I must be partially deaf or something, I don't hear any difference between the ways the word nopon is pronounced by Luxin, or maybe it's just because I'm not a native English speaker. I hope this is just some sort of inside joke I'm not aware about.

It's the first syllable. In X (and Japanese, it seems) the "No" is pronounced with a long "O" sound. The same kind you would hear in the English words "no," "go," "show," "throw," etc. In the other three games' English dubs (as well as Celica in X since she also has an accent) it uses a shorter "O" sound that kind of sounds like someone going "ah." The same kind you would hear in the English words "stop," "flop," "mop," "drop," etc.

Thanks, now I can notice the difference, I was totally overthinking it. I'm relieved to learn I'm not partially deaf, so now I can keep enjoying these marvelous soundtracks for years to come.

Of note is that Japanese literally just doesn't have a sound for zee (at least not normally or naturally), the closest you get is shi or ji, so pronouncing it as Zeeno was out of the question anyway.
