Really, what's up with all the different Ys pronounciations? I'm sorry if this has already been up in another post - I'm sure it has but, anyway...
I understand someone who's never heard or played the game being confused - calling it "wise". But it seems every news report on the game pronounces it different! "Yeez", "Ease","Eess", etc... My question is - where did the popular "Ease" with a hard "S" come from? I've never heard it pronounced that way. I've always heard it with a soft "S" ("Eess") like in "release" in the games. I assume maybe the anime movies pronounced it different? Or maybe people are going off the Japanese pronounciation?
If there is already a thread on this, please point me to it.

I've never played any of the games with voice acting, but from your description it sounds the same as the anime. They pronounce it eese. Kinda like the word geese without the G. So that is probably the correct one.
My guess about the news articles is that they probably don't know what the hell they are talking about, and they are just guessing based on what they've read over the internet.

I've always thought it's pronounced as "yeease" with emphasis on the 'ee' and the only time I've heard it is on the Ys VI promotion/trailer video...

Well, what the Master system game says on the title screen is: [i:s]

Well, what the Master system game says on the title screen is: [i:s] I always wondered what that was supposed to be. Although it's not exactly a semi colon, it's 2 arrows pointing at each other.

Oh.... You don't use that.... Well, it is a colon ":". That's how you pronounce it. I mean, it's called phonetics or something. [i:s]. That is a I (like in e) : means that you should "say" it longer than just i. Then s simply means s.
