I'm so exited, I just can't hide it

[Bubba]

Pretty much any scene involving Cait Sith I just switch off...

Did he die?

No. He got in contact with ET and had strange alien babies with him.

Cait Sith isn't that bad of a character, he can be cute at times. Sometimes I feel like the fandom is way too hard on the fellow. His limit breaks are basically Setzer's I mean c'mon, isn't that sort of cool ?

Plus later on he saves everybody in Junon and who doesn't like a cat and who doesn't like a Moogle ? He does have some good qualities about him. I think the fandom treats Cait Sith like he murdered Cloud's Mother. Way too tough on him.

Nah, he's still a knob.

But Caith Sith is Reeve and Reeve is Shinra and Shinra created Sephiroth and Sephirtoh burnt down Nibelheim!!!!

Reeve is a nice guy, most of the things that were bad towards Avalanche he didn't want to happen and that was more of the Solider department than whatever Reeve did. Can't remember ? Some office job ?

I was only just messing about

I have nothing to say. Well, except for one thing.

Anyone who mourned Cait Siths "Death"... Never mind. To mean to say :/ I didn't care for him though. He is, to this day, the dumbest character in the series.

I know but I still believe that the fandom is way too hard on Cait Sith. Just a opinion.

He back-stabbed you but Kain Highwind does that like every two seconds.
He abducted Marlene and Aerith's adoptive mum, but he apologizes and gains a friendship with them later on and is even the one that tells her about Aerith's dieing and is there to help her grieve.
He helps you escape Junon and Scarlet by showing you where the Highwind is.
He helps you during the Midgar Raid and tries to help Shrina and Rufus during it when Hojo goes completely cray cray.

Just sayin'.

In Advent Children he's annoying as fudge, but that movie doesn't exist.

Somebody who tries hardout for forgiveness and a second chance and begins to show a new light after the events of CD 1 is dumb ? If he was dumb he wouldn't of tried and just would of went home and pigged out on chocolate Ice- Cream while crying and watching re-runs of Coronation Street while crying "nobody likes me ". Cait Sith was brave and tried his hardest.

It's easy to be brave when you're just a remote control toy, and the neckbeard cintrolling you is at home cozy on his Shinra couch eating Cheetos and drinking Mt. Dew.

So is that directed at Reeve or the people playing the game

He was running the risk of being caught out by Shinra. Cait Sith might be doing the dangerous battling etc, but when you're fighting against the Shinra from Midgar all they need to do is sneak in and kill Reeve while he's...controlling Caith Sith (how the smurf does that work anyway?) and the threat is eliminated.

[Roogle]

In yet another example of poor translation (c'mon people you can do better than this), Cait Sith pre-empts his own death by saying he's "exited" instead of "excited". Why he would've been excited in the first place, I'll never know. Perhaps he thought his "heroic sacrifice" would be impressive and win the team over (it worked). Cait Sith 2.0 didn't seem all that different though.

What a shame that the localization contained this many errors and spelling mistakes. I think that, at the very least, a rerelease with proper dialogue and characterization would do the original game a world of good.

Something like "Urban Ledgends Department", I have no idea what it is.

Urban Development xD

v'Never considered that. I wonder if it's anything like Surrogates.

[Bahamut2000X]

Why am I supposed to mourn Cait Sith when Cait Sith 2 shows up right away, and is controlled by the exact same person?

Cait Sith's "sacrifice" was handled that way very intentionally. They ham up his death, only to make the drama pointless by immediately bringing him back; this was done in order to contrast with Aeris only a couple of scenes later. It makes quite a statement I think.

I agree, I thought Cait Sith's "death scene" was great. The end is supposed to be a big and disconcerting anti-climax that is amusing in hindsight, and it is. The fake out is all the more impactful with Aerith's death so soon afterwards.

But yes, Reeve was a bit too well prepared for it.

Ya the first time I played the game I liked Cait Sith because he was the more unique character in the game, and I was sad because I thought he seriously got killed off all the while thinking in the back of my head as a kid "Wait he's a robot, can't they make another one?", only to get faked out with the new one showing up so fast.

[James_Cub]

I actually just witnessed that scene yesterday. I thought it was quite funny. To be honest, Cait Sith himself says on the way to the puzzlethingy "ooh, im going to save the world, bla bla bla, so it kind of makes me think that Cait Sith may actually have a soul of its own and its not just Reeve behind it.
