Well, the only ones I can remember are Japanese, but I'm sure they'll carry over:

AND FOR THE LAST TIME, Marluxia is:

Mar-loosh-ah

[slmcknett]

for starters, would you people please check earlier threads to look up the names of these characters, this question has been asked about 100 times in the last year, and i'm sure that some people are tired of answering this question. anyway, here are the OFFICIAL japanese pronunciations (as in, what the sound like if you read the kana in their names)

Xemnas: ゼムナス (Ze-Mu-Na-Su) so in english, it would be Zem-Nas
Xigbar: シグバール (Shi-Gu-Ba-a-Ru) in english, Sig-Bar
Xaldin: ザルディン (Za-Ru-D-i-n) in english, Zal-Din
Vexen: ヴィクセン (V-i-ku-se-n) in english, Vik-Sen (the i is said somewhat like an e, so veek-sen, but it doesn't matter)
Lexaeus: レクセウス (Le-Ku-Se-U-Su) in english, Lek-Say-Us
Zexion: ゼクシオン (Ze-Ku-Shi-O-N) in english, Zek-See-On
Saix: サイクス (Sa-I-Ku-Su) in english, Saiks (one long sound, like when you say psych, but with an x at the end)
Axel: アクセル (A-Ku-Se-Ru) in english, Ak-Sel (in japanese its a long a, but in english they say it with a short a instead)
Demyx: デミックス (De-Mi-k-Ku-Su) in engish, Dem-Eeks
Luxord: ルクソード (Ru-Ku-So-O-Do) in english, Luck-Sword (it makes sense, because card games require luck, and his cards can cut you like a sword)
Marluxia: マールーシャ (Ma-a-Ru-u-Sh-a) in english, Mar-Loo-Sha
Larxene: ラクシーヌ (Ra-Ku-Shi-I-Nu) in english, Lock-Siin (the lock part of her name is actually lark with a british accent)
Roxas: ロクサス (Ro-Ku-Sa-Su) in english, Rock-Sus
Xion: シオン (Shi-O-N) in english, See-On (the ending of zexion's name),

 

[Szayel Aporro]

I lol at your pronunciation for Roxas' name.

ROCKS-ASS.
Cuz it's true.

But yeah.
I believe Marluxia's name goes as Marr-Lucks-eea.

dude, did u even read my post? not to sound arrogant or anything, but that is the REAL way on how to pronounce marluxia's name. i'm not saying that you have to pronounce it this way or not, but i should just let u know that it is the correct way. and i'm sorry if i sound mean, but what's the point in making threads like these if nobody even listens to the posts that are posted on it?

No, I did read your thread.
And in your thread, it says...

Marluxia - Mar-loo-zia - ?????? (this was the center of huge debates we just haven't looked in on it yet.

It doesn't SAY the actual pronunciation.

But according to everything else... the way I said it... is the way I've heard it.

Also, remember. The japanese pronunciation and the english pronunciation is different.
