I'd probably say "kate sith" but for years I'd call him "cat sith". 'cause, y'know, he's a cat.
Kate Sith.
Cate Sith.
Kate Sith
The Kate Sith club and the Cocoabo club accept all members
I covered my eyes, pushed the "End" key on the keyboard, and present you with
Cate (as in Blanchett) Sith (as in the bad guys from Star Wars).
Let's see how I stacked up.
Huh.
I don't know how it's supposed to be pronounced, but we all seem to agree it's the short A and the short I.
Kite Scythe sounds like an alias for Magus from Chrono Trigger.
Kefuffle Van Brolowagon.
Douchelord
Load Strobe
Tits Rockhard
Burret
Aerithsthsththsthsthshtht
Red Dog
Annoying Girl
Stray Cat
Wampire Bleh
#@$@#%ing Cid
This is one of those things where I disagree with how things are translated, even if they are not just from the Japanese. If they wanted English speakers to pronounce things a certain way, the translation should have been adapted to that pronunciation style. They should have done it with Tidus, Aerith, and apparently Cait Sith
Romanization and its equivalent are all retarded in this regard
I just call him Stray.
I call him "No you cannot be in my team this playthrough too"
Clowd
Airith (English th)
Teefah
Bearret (intented)/Bearray
Nahnahkee
Youffee
Cat Shee (intended)/Kate Sith (English th)
Sid
Vinsent
Zack
Seffe(e)roth (English th)
Djennesis (intended)/Gehnesis
Anjiel
Jehn(n)ohva
Hoejoe
Lukrezia
Roufehs
Cait Sith and Cat Sidhe are normal Western versions of Cat Shee. It means still exactly that. Aerith can never be written differently in Japanese and Tidus' writing would have taken away the meaning if Tida was not used. Still Tidus is meant. Normally we just need to take a look at the Japanese manuals and we know what was meant (Like Aerith, Cayenne and such).Quote:

Why not use his name in the game, the characters could have said it, and everything would have been fine, rather than surprising us with a new pronunciation years after the release when it's mentioned in another game
What is surprising about this pronounciation when his own voice actor even mentions him as Teedus in an interview that came with the first version of Final Fantasy X?Quote:

Like I said, most people just play the game and don't consider consuming extranous secondary media as an integral part of the experience.
There's more than one way to pronounce Cait Sith? Kate Sith. It's the only way. Any other way and you're really just overcomplicating things for overcomplicating things sake :p
And how do you pronounce "Sith"? The "th" has three different ways of being pronounced.Quote:

I pronounced it like Aerith and Sephiroth until I noticed that is not meant. I always wondered when I saw the Japanese name Ketto Shi which does not say Shisu or trouto (yeah lol) or anything like it.Quote:

My Final Fantasy X didn't come with any interviews o.O What in the world. I don't remember extra content being on the game and there definitely wasn't an extra disc in the box. Are you talking about the second run with the international version or something? Or are you talking about the Japanese version? Or maybe I'm missing something..
Cake Sith.
I was pretty sure it was the extra-disc with the Kingdom Hearts preview on it as well. I might confuse that however. The interview should be somewhere else then. But actually it should be that DVD because I cannot think of anything else.Quote:
