The pronunciation of 'Eorzea"?

OK, this is just a dumb thought I've had in my head for the last couple of days, but I really want to know! How is the world of 'Eorzea' pronounced?  Truth be told, I haven't done a whole lot of looking, mainly checking out the official SE site and a couple of fansites/wikis.  I haven't played any of the Beta phases, so maybe they say it in a cutscene ingame?

Is it Eeyore-zee-ah? Ee-ray-jah? Eurasia? Er-zea? Or-Zea?

    I'd pronounce Eh-or-zey. But it's probably something like Eh-or-ze-ah?

    EDIT: Japanese characters didn't show up, had to put in an image.

    It would be "eh-oh-ru-ze-ah" with what you provided. ("ay" would be the katakana of "a" and "i.")

    In English, it would be "eh-or-zi-ah," I would assume.

    AY-OH-RU-ZAY-AH, it would be this, but the U is usually muffled so if would actually sound more like AY-OHR-ZAY-AH.
