Zi Dane because that's how English pronunciation works and those of us in the west had no idea how crazy Japan's pronunciation would be until Dissidia hit and we were all like, "Wait, what did he say his name was? Heck, why don't we pronounce Kefka 'Quafafka' while we're at it?"

YMMV. Remember that English, because of its global status, the way it developed and some ridiculous ideas by the Regency/Victorian gentry has very lose rules and hulking moutains of loopholes and exceptions when it comes to pronounciation. And that's not even getting into how differnt groups of English speakers pronounce things (BROCK-Oh-Lee vs. Bro-Koh-LIE)
When I first read the name it looked Spanish to me, and with my limited familiarity with Spanish as a kid I assumed "Zee-Dahn" or "Gee-Dahn"

its whatever you want it to be. Different languages pronounce things differently. if it had a l or r in the name the japanese would pronounce it r no matter what since l and r are the same sound to them.

its stupid to fight over how things are pronounced, unless the creator of the word tells you how they wanted it to be.

That's not really how English 'works'... The name itself is pronounced Zih-Dan.

By the logic you're applying, the word "planet" should be pronounced "play-net".

The pronunciation of Zidane in English is exactly the same as the name of ex-French footballer, Zinedine Zidane.

If the Japanese pronunciations blow your minds, look up the Japanese Pokemon names.

Whilst I agree with you about the pronunciation, using Zinedine Zidane is a bad example. It's entirely possible that this is only how French people pronounce this name, because they're French and therefore have different pronunciation rules. For instance, I have known a few people called Henry, but I don't go around calling them "Awn-ree" after the French footballer Thierry Henry.

robthebob11 was technically correct about their comment about how "English works", but it's probably more accurate to say that you can't apply these rules when names are involved. Zidane ends in an "E" so as far as English rules go we use this to control the pronunciation of the whole word, much like we'd pronounce the words "mad" and "made" differently. But because it's a name you can't always enforce rules like this.

It's pronounced how it's pronounced where it's originated from (heads up, very annoying voice in the video):
