Thread: Cait McSith

    The accent thing did toss me for a loop. Not really how I imagined him... Though I'm more surprised at how horribly I was mispronouncing his name all this time. Thank the Gods for wikipedia for that wisdom I guess.

    You can blame that on the translators who can't seem to read katakana.

    What? "Cait Sith" is the correct spelling. They just should have put a pronounciation guide in the instruction manual.

    And they still just made it all the more confusing, by spelling it that way.

    "Cait Sith" is Gaelic for "Fairy Cat." That's out of Square's hands.

    Is that how it's spelled in Gaelic? Either way, most people aren't going to bother looking for the right pronounciation anyway.

    Enough of that, more Kitten Sith!

    I can't believe how some people get so concerned with the freaking voices. I couldn't care less what anyone sounds like as long as it is reasonable.

    In FF7, I never imagined what the characters would sound like. I just read the dialogue, I didn't waste my time making up accents that would distract me and take away from what the person was saying.

    Me too. The scottish drawl is alright though - it seems to fit almost as well.

    And of COURSE Cid sound a little country! He gone built heself an aeryo-plane, y'all! Gy-hyuck-hyuck!

    Which FF Character Are You?
    :magus: Long, funny-coloured hair? Check. Bad choice of clothing? Check. Good/Bad complex? Check. Hmm... they're right. I AM Kuja.

    ::Stabs you in the head with the Highwind. Not the spear, the airship::

    Southerners do NOT sound like Goofy. Kapische? Even the majority of those who do have drawls do not sound as ridiculous as you make them sound.

    I like that Cid has a southern accent. Cid's the ultimate in ciritical rational thinking, and I like it that a southerner could be portrayed like that. Helps out image. Now if only more southerners were more like myself and Cid...

    First, I believe it's spelled capice. Or something like that, I dont speak Italian.
    Secondly, I suppose that the Scottish accent makes sense, but it still suprised me. And I figured the "New Yoika" accent (that's a fun way to speak) would fit too.
    Thirdly, I think Cid had a good accent. Fit him well.
    Fourthly, Cait Sith is awesome, even if he was a traitor.

    I didnt mean to say i thought it was wrong for him to have the accent, i did think it was cool, (espec with his name being gaelic, i didnt know that!) just unexpected!

    To change the vibe a bit, does anyone think that Yuffie not having a far eastern accent is wierd? if they gave accents to Cait and Cid, why not her?

    I know. The mispelling was intentional. No real purpose to it. I just kinda like the look of 'Kapische'. It is one of my idiosyncracies. Pay it no mind.

    I thought Gaelic was Irish. My brother had to learn it when he was in school in Ireland.
