Stuff

I'll add things like the names of worlds and the names of the ships or something later. Feel free to do so if you get to it before me. --Thaddius 17:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. Seems pretty complete for an obscure game by hudson soft that no one can pronounce. This article is pretty much done unless someone wants to add some links and the rather extensive list of enemies. --Thaddius 01:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

So, how DOES one pronounce the title? I've always wondered that... Vaughnstull 23:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I've always pronounced it like the ancient Persian king's name Xerxes ('zerks-zees'), but I think it may actually be pronounced like 'zecks-zees'.--Thaddius 16:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I actually think of it more as / zeks' - iz / , actually. --Sivak 03:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

That's... the exact same thing as I posted... --Thaddius 23:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I mean in mine to have a short I, not a long E. --Sivak 23:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I thought you had put an 'i' with the line above it signifying a long i, like a long pronounced 'is' (eez). My mistake. It's not really that imperative that people pronounce it correctly anyway. I can put that pronunciation on the main page if you like. So the 'y' is a vowel in this case I guess. Which explains why you and I are debating over the long and short of said 'y'. I had a hard time pronouncing this as a kid, and often called it 'ex-zeltz' for lack of understanding of the rules of pronunciation as a 6 year old. Why would anyone unleash such a pronounciational nightmare on children? The humanity! --Thaddius (talk) 15:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
