Just curious, how does everybody here pronounce the names of the summons in this game? I’d been pronouncing Belias as "Bell-e-ihs" for a while, but more often lately, it’s seemed better to me to pronounce it to rhyme with the name "Elias." Here are some of the others:

Mateus – "Ma-tay-ihs"
Adrammelech – "A-drah-muh-leck"
Zalera – "Za-lair-uh"
Shemhazai – "Shem-hah-zay"
Cuchulainn – "Coo-chool-ain"
Exodus – standard, the way anyone would pronounce "exodus"
Hashamal – "Ha-sha-mal"
Zeromus – "Zero-mis"
Famfrit – two syllables, seems obvious
Chaos – standard
Ultima – "Uhl-tih-muh"
Zodiark – same as zodiac, except with "ark" at the end instead

Mateus – "Ma-tay-uus"
Shemhazai – "Shem-ha-zI" (like the letter ‘I’ at the end)
Cuchulainn – "Coo-choo-line"
Hashamal – "Ha-sha-mal"
Zeromus – "Zay-ro-muhs"
Famfrit – "Fahm-freet"
Ultima – "Uhl-tee-muh"

The others I pronounce the same~

Belias – Belly-Ahss (accented A)
Adrammelech – "Ad-ram-ma-lech" (you know the "ch" from the throat… lol I’m Israeli so naturally any foriegn word where "ch" is pronounced like "K", usually German. I may be wrong though but I think this Esper’s name comes from Hebrew because "melech" is king, dunno about the first part.
Mateus – Muh-tay-us
Zalera – Zuh-lair-uh
Shemhazai – Shem-huh-zye
Cuchulainn – Koo-choo-lane (probably wrong but that’s how I say it)
Exodus – …
Hashmal – First of all, it’s "Hashmal" and not "Hashamal". Secondly, it’s funny because in modern Hebrew the word "Hashmal" (pronounced Chashmal with the throat "ch") means ELECTRICITY. That’s immediately what I imagined when I first got to him, but here he is using earthy tricks. Makes absolutely no sense and sounds funny, but I pronounce his name like the word with the H as a throated "ch" like "Chahsh-mahl"
Zeromus – Sometimes Zero-miss and sometimes "zuh-roe-muss".
Fanfrit – How it’s spelled, not to mention just how Cid pronounces it.
Chaos – …
Ultima – …
Zodiark – Like Zodiac with "ark" at the end.
