His accent has been colored by his many travels...

Cat Sìth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cait_Sith)

That makes sense. Square is well known for having those sorts of strange references.

Cait Sith having an Irish accent is the best part of an otherwise mediocre game.

I quite liked him having a vaguely Gaelic accent, as it goes with the name.
It also ties in well with the Reeve/Cait Sith contrast. Reeve's always articulate and precise in his language - ever the businessman, while Cait Sith sounds a lot more brash, rural and even a little rustic. It's not too inconsistent with the English translation of the game, either. Obviously we never get to hear his voice there, but the text increasingly suggests a 'parochial' accent, albeit tinged with more American overtones rather than Irish/Scottish.

NB: I'm obviously not saying all Gaelic peoples are inherently rustic and uncultured. Cait Sith's accent clearly isn't a typical Irish accent; they've used (whether consciously or unconsciously) a more isolated regional accent with lots of colloquial dialogue.

I thought he sounded like some one from scotland, Idon't find it Irish,

[Quindiana Jones]

Well, he's not. They're very different accents. You probably just don't hear either of them often enough to notice a difference.

[Project G]

Does anyone actually enjoy hearing his voice? I find it to be highly irritating

[ff is da best]

im actually quite alright with his voice.
it humors me
