I've only ever thought of one way to pronounce Zidane's name and that's exactly how it's spelled: "Zi-dane". Not really that difficult. The "i" has a short sound to it, and the "a" has a long sound to it.

I pronounce it Zi-Dane. I can't see no other way to pronounce it and have it seem right.

Well with me I pronounced it Zee-Dain, and what I think with the FF series is unless they speak it in the game you pronounce it however you think it should be, cause at the end of the day you take the role of the main character so in a way its your story.

Even if I know the right pronounciation sometimes I still don't pronounce it properly. Despite me knowing the pronounciations of Yuffie and Tidus, I still pronounces Yuffie as like Yuff-ay (Pronounce "Yuff" similar to "Huff") and Tidus like Tid-us (Pronounce "Tid" similar to "Cid"). Some people would probably adapt and pronounce it the proper way but I stick with my pronounciations since it sounds best to me.

Aye, I still use "Juf-fee" instead of KH's "Yoofie", as well as "Tai-dus" instead of KH's "Tee-dus". For Zidane, I say "Zee-dane". Simple.
