Joking aside, I've always found it peculiar that all the worlds in Star Wars are made up almost entirely of a single type of environment. Ice planet = Hoth; Desert planet = Tattooine; Swamp planet = Dagoba; Forest planet = Moon of Endor; etc., etc.

It's worth pointing out that one particular flavor of Windows XP had 64-bit support, but it was not an intended release at launch and is not an easy piece of software to work with. Despite that, many gluttons love to be punished, and swear by XP64 to this day. Ugh.

I do know Jake Lloyd had trouble with pronouncing it the 'correct' way in Episode I (cause he was used to pronouncing it the 'wrong' way), and they eventually just took it out (he was supposed to say it during the dinner scene on Tatooine, with Jar-Jar, Qui-Gon, Padmé and Shmi).
Yes, I am a Star Wars nerd. I also make sure to spell "Wookiee" with two e's.

I guess it all depends which side of the galaxy you grew up on ...

Would take someone with more time than me to dig up an official SE game where the intro says "Eh nix" officially or whatever. I have a few but I'm about to get too busy to look through them.

Much like how ellen is eelin and ever is eever and enemy is eenemy and enter is eenter and emily is eemily and elevator is eelevator, right?
Jesus christ, here's the wacky thing: Those language rules you learned in 1st grade? The ones that say a vowel-consonant-vowel sequence means the first vowel is a long one? Yeah, that's bullshit that barely applies.
Plus it's not even a word, it's a name, so it is pronounced however the people who madeit up say it is pronouined. Are you enix? No? Then let someone who knows what they're talking about explain it.

Then, to confuse it worse, you read how the Japanese word would be said and it would be "Enikkusu", which would be pronounced as "Eh Nee Koo Soo" (right?) so I see where people would be pronouncing it that way as well.

'Ee' is the sound that, out of the 40 abstract sounds used in the english language, is typically utilised in word construction instead of the 'Eh' sound. More often than not, if the word begins with the letter E, it's pronounce using that 'Ee' interjection - that 'eh' is a dialectic occurence.
10/10/09
Still has absolutely no bearing on how the freaking word is pronounced.
There HAS to be someone with better reasoning than "The ridiculous rules of englisht hat are extremely inconsistent say so".
10/10/09
The rules of language are only 'ridiculous' and 'extremely inconsistent' if you don't really know what you're talking about. Which, by the looks of things, you do not.

do i win something now?
10/10/09
if there are multiple exceptions, it is not consistent. We ARE taught that vowel-consonant-vowel means the first vowel is long, but that's not consistently true at all! Right now I see multiple words that show that- Image, video, kotaku(the a), Veritas, something, ridiculous, about. Do I have ot go on? He said, extremely rudely, "ENGLISH SAYS THAT IT IS ENIX BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT WORKS" when I have just shown a whole bunch of exceptions to that supposed rule.
I before E except after C is the worst example.
And again, english rules for pronunciation? Still no bearing whatsoever! It's a name! It's made up! It's pronounced how they want it to be pronounced! And you cannot say "English says it is pronounced this way, therefore it is" because that simply isn't fact or proper reasoning- it's pronounced however they want it to be, it doesn't follow set rules. As proven right there in that video- they pronounce it Square Eh-nix. SO all this "GOD YOU'RE STUPID ENGLISH LANGUAGE RULES SAY IT IS EENIX THEREFORE IT IS" crap you people are spouting is completely wrong!

Except for, you know, the existence of Dialetics? If you'd taken the liberty to understand and read what I'm saying, you'd see that I said the 'Eenix/Ehnix' thing can be boiled down to dialetics ('More often than not, if the word begins with the letter E, it's pronounce using that 'Ee' interjection - that 'eh' is a dialectic occurence.', there you go if you can't be bothered to go back and check). You can't say that the rules don't apply just because it's convenient for your side of the arguement White Mage!

Cosplay Vader [motioning menacingly and making fists]: Where is this MMO that you have createD? WHAT have you DONE with my KOTOR 3?
Bioware Rep [choking]: There is no KOTOR 3.
[gasps]
We are just a marketing team, on a diplomatic mission...
Cosplay Vader: If this is a marketing vehicle, then WHERE is KOTOR 3?
[Bioware rep runs away in fear.]
Cosplay Vader [addressing his Cosplay Commander]: Commander, tear this ship apart until you find that game! And bring me all bioware employee, I want them ALIVE!
[After they start terrorizing the booth another, female, rep is hauled before Cosplay Vader]
Female Rep: Gamescom Security will not sit still for this. When they hear you've attacked a marketing...
Cosplay Vader: Don't act so surprised, your highness. You weren't on any marketing mission this time. Several KOTOR must be in development. I want to know what happened to your plans for them.
Female Rep: I don't know what you're talking about. I am an employee of Bioware on a marketing mission to Gamescom...
Cosplay Vader: You are part of Lucas' attempt to ruin Star Wars and a traitor! Take her away!

*crosses fingers* maybe this will be the one. I just hope somebody else doesn't write their magnum opus on why handicapped kittens are under-represented in JRPGs this week and beat me out.

I'm a SWG refugee waiting for the horrible storm of shitty gameplay to be over. We will one day find our star wars mmo of freedom, hope, and good gameplay. You are a brother of old SWG which makes you a brother of I.

If you mean KOTOR II ruined things, then you need to direct your hate towards Obsidian Entertainment.

I know right? I mean when I got it home and installed it I was hopeful that it would still be good but then...
Oh wait, it hasn't come out yet.
Honestly, give it time to offer you a fair shake. With the talk that has been coming out it doesn't seem much like your normal average MMO. It sounds more like KotoR with other people nearby, what with still having a party and all.
