I still don't see what the deal is behind Milla's name pronunciation. That's how it was pronounced in the Japanese version. So what if it's not how it's most commonly pronounced in English? Names can be pronounced multiple ways and words don't have to be pronounced as they're written. Otherwise Colonel would be spelled "Kernel."

i've explained this **** how many times now

Milla = Mill-uh = English, AS IN THE **** COUNTRY/LANGUAGE, pronunciation

Mila = MEE-LAH = Eastern European pronunciation

her official **** name is Milla **** Maxwell

M-I-L-L-A
TWO "L"S

CLASS, CAN YOU TELL US WHICH PRONUNCIATION USES TWO "L"S

THAT'S RIGHT
ENGLISH

so it's natural to **** expect her name to be pronounced as it is spelled

also using the Japanese as a reference isn't proper since they lack the "ih" syllable
it's entirely possible that Milla is the intended pronunciation

But that was their intention with her name.

Nothing you can do about that.

Um, I thought Japan made her name like:
"ミラ".
Mi-ra *
"Mee-rah".
Mee-lah.

Some "Jeff"s spell their name with a J, sometimes a "G", sometimes with one F, and sometimes two Fs. *shrug*

(* I actually liked 'Mira' at first too)

It is odd though, that they changed Elise to Elize to make the pronunciation perfectly clear (as with Tipo -> Teepo), but left Milla the same.

And for the record I don't HATE absel's ENG voice. He just could've been a little better.

Same with Milla. The voice fits, but her acting could be better. Let's hope it is in the story.

Everyone else is good. Jude is growing on me, and the rest sound fine as well. I'd like to hear some more though.

I think that's because Milla can be pronounced either way, and it doesn't matter what country you are in because Milla isn't English, or European, herself. She is from a made up world with made up people, so her name can be spelled/pronounced in ways that are different from America/England.

I really don't get why everyone freaks out about this, it's not a big deal. Now, if Xillia took place in a real country and she was supposed to be from a real place, then I could understand why people's panties are getting all bunched up over the spelling/pronunciation of her name.

Camilla and Milla (Mill-ah) are transcribed in katakana as カミラ and ミラ. It could be both pronunciations. It would have been best for the localization to change the spelling to Mila to fit the pronunciation rather than unnecessarily changing Elise and Tipo.
