Just curious.
Official definition would be interesting but not necessary.

I always said it as "RE", not "REE". Most voice actors seem to go that route as well, down to Wayne Doster in X4 to Epsilon in CM and Sigma in MHX.

Every english voiceover i've heard in the games has pronounced it as "Reep-loid", so that's what I've grown to say.

I have a tendency to pronounce things the way they're spelled.

Hence REPP-loid.

Repp-lloyd here as well. Reep-loid just sounds weird.

Well, however they say it in the voiceovers. Repp-lloyd, Rep-loid, does it honestly matter?  ???

Reploid and Repliroid are short for Replicate Android. therefore, for the contraction to make sense, the rep is pronounced 'rehp'.


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

Maybe i've been hearing too much "THIS IS SPARTA," but i'm just waiting for someone to pull a joke somewhere.  -u-'

It always matters, if someone is wrong on the internet, it's serious business.

That doesn't apply to this situation in the slightest sense.

English voice overs have ALWAYS said Repp-lloyd

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

You guys can't actually be asking this one.

It's REPP-lloyd, and every voice actor has pronounced it as such.

I think REPP-lloyd is the right one since it is much closer to the original name: Repliroid.

Hmm, I guess that all makes sense. I read the name way before I heard it or saw its origins, so the REE- (like in return) is what stuck.

Rep (as in reputation) loid (as in lloyd).

I'm pronounced it that way.

why? because that's how we (Indonesian's people) pronounced it...

that's all...
