Well, I thought that Cait Sith's job was to be a fortune teller. Like when he first meets Cloud.

Technically, yeah, but I stole the notes from the UK FFVII guide. I'll fix it — Cuahl 8 July 2005 23:47 (UTC)

You can't use quotes around a word unless your actually quoting something. Either find a quote and cite it, use a term that is more appropriate for an encyclopedia entry, or change this to a statement such as "sometimes referred to as wacky"

1 Irish Accent
2 An entity of himself?
3 Reeve's Voice
4 Not Always Aeris....
5 Moves?

[edit] Irish Accent

I'm gonna reword the accent thing. Cait Sith has always had an "odd" dialect and accent in the Japanese games, including FFVII. They simply didn't translate it in the original FFVII localization, same with Reno's speech pattern (~zutto). The reason an Irish accent was chosen was two fold; he has an accent in the Japanese version, and he's based on a Celtic myth. WtW-Suzaku 01:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An entity of himself?

I was just curious if Cait Sith is actually a self consious robot and, to some degree, seperate from Reeve? Well, I know at several points in the game Reeve appears to be literally talking through Cait, but before Cait sacrifices his body to get the Black Materia he says something like "Please don't forget me even if a new Cait Sith comes along". This statement seems to show that Cait Sith is, in himself, an individual and is self aware. I also noticed that in Advent Children, Reeve and Cait Sith sound nothing alike and I don't see any reason Reeve would need to change his voice after everyone knows Cait is supposed to be Reeve. So, does this mean that Reeve only gives orders to Cait and takes manual control only when nesessary?

•I believe that Cait Sith does have some form of AI atleast enough to function without Reeve in control of him the entire time. But Reeve is the puppetmaster so to speak, and yes he does talk through Cait Sith several times. But the way the game lays it out he does have some for of AI. J-Axe

From what I understand, Reeve actually has a special ability known as "Inspire", which allows him to give life to inanimate objects. The many different Cait Siths (there have been a few) are all robots that gain sentience after Reeve "Inspires" them. However, because they are robots, he can take manual control of them if need be. I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I can't remember where the source was, so I'll leave it be for now. WtW-Suzaku 01:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reeve's Voice

Should there be a credit put somewhere on the article for Reeve's voice actor? User:J-Axe

[edit] Not Always Aeris....

depending on how you have responded to the other characters,i think you can(i havent played this game in almost 5 years) have cait sith say something other that Aeris and Cloud are a perfect match,same way you can have Tifa or Barret go on the golden saucer date with Cloud.its just down to the way you interact with them.shouldnt this be mentioned?Pikajedi3 15:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
