    I pronounce it like the gill of a fish. That might not be right, but I started the FF series before I knew how to pronounce Japanese words. Old habits die hard.

    Nope, I'm English and me and everyone I know say Gil. As you can see, other Americans have said Jill, and that doesn't mean the whole of America does! Same goes for other countries. I say Gil because its like Gold, as in currency which is what Gil is. Plus it sounds better.

    I like saying it like "jill" like the name of my girlfriend.

    and when I mean girlfriend, I am talking about my hand.

    I pronounce it gil, like everyone's favorite unsuccessful salesman Gil Gunderson.

    Huh. You know, I never even thought about that word possibly being pronounced like "Jill." Now I'm confused...but whatever. I'll just keep saying (fish) gil like I have before. It's too late to change now.

    I pronounce it like the girl's name "Jill".

    In my country in most chapter the word "Gil" is translated into "Guil" so it's very rare to find the "Gil" word(only if I play non translated chapter).

    When I find it I'll read it like "Jill" because in my mother language if "G" is before a vowel is read in this way^^"

    But I read it in this way only for habit.

    Re: How do YOU pronounce "Gil"?

    Myself and all my friends have allways called it Jill. You guys have messed my head up, now I think that Gil with a 'g' strong pronunciation sounds right. Bah.

    This happened last year with Chocobo. My friends and I say 'Cuccoo-boo' then some dude at comic-con london told me it was 'choco-bow' and BOOOM! My mind exploded. Now 'coccoo-boo' doesnt even look right. My childhood memories are crumbling with an fast enclosing world of bad pronunciation.

    I'm pretty sure Oaka, (merchant extraordinaire) in FFX pronounces it 'gil' as in 'g' for gate.
