This is getting to be a bad habit of mine; Starting a thread and then not responding to it until there are so many replies...

To anyone who's mentioned the megaphone: What this basically is, is that Cait shouts through the megaphone and the "toy" attacks - the better the megaphone, the harder the toy will attack. Yes it is pretty silly, but I get it - they probably couldn't think of anything else for him to use, pluss it also had to be something stupid for Cloud to bypass the HP Shout near the start of the game.

To anyone who's said that Cait betrayed the team: Well... Did he really? Think about it, he never really caused any physical harm to any of the team, he saved the people of Midgar, he not only got the Black Materia out of the temple, but he also kept his promise not to give it to the Shinra, and for the remainder of the game he was there to make sure that the team knew in advance what the Shinra where doing. Actually you are right; he was a traitor - to the Shinra.


to seiferalmasy2: I can see your points on the matter, and I agree that saying that you are "taking things too seriously" is indead a stupid argument, so I am on your side there.

The thing about Red XIII - it is based on the probability that the team didn't know Cait wasn't a "real animal", so they probably thought "Oh, a talking animal - that's new(!)" I agree that the way he joins the party is poorly scripted, and although I've never seen the original translation on that scene - I trust you, because I know how much work you've put into resarching the translation. I think that the reason it looks so strange is because in FFVII your allies "dissapear" when they're not needed, so I think that Cait simply followed Cloud and Whoever in that scene, and ended up "officially" joining them later on.

Finally on the Final Farewell scene, again I don't know the actual translation of the scene, but I don't think the scene ever implied he was going to die - we already know he's a toy, so we won't be fooled. What gave you the impression we where meant to think he'd die? (In the PSX traslation)
