Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s director has when again reignited the nearly three-decade dispute over how to pronounce Cait Sith’s name.
2 months back, Square Enix‘s social networks accounts relatively put the dispute to rest and exposed that Cait Sith is noticable precisely how it looks: “Kate Sith”. That calm duration was short-term, nevertheless, considering that director Naoki Hamaguchi supposedly has a various pronunciation for the celebration member.
According to The Game Informer Showthe remake/sequel’s director pronounced the character’s name as “Cat Shee” when inquired about the long-running web war. Hamaguchi’s response is at chances with the main Square Enix accounts, so what’s going on?
Obviously, the initial Final Fantasy 7 did not have voice performing, and therefore, there’s no basic agreement on how to pronounce the character’s name. Later on voice-acted video games in the series didn’t offer any responses considering that nobody stated Cait Sith aloud (bad guy), however thinking about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s considerably bigger scope, somebody is bound to verbalize it, right?
Nevertheless, Cait Sith is in fact called after a black feline trickster fairy in Gaelic folklore, suggesting the argument has absolutely nothing to do with a disparity in between English and Japanese. In the initial Gaelic language, the fairy’s name sounds closer to Hamaguchi’s “Cat Shee” or rather “Ket Shee.” I’m just curious to see whether the pronunciation modifications when changing in between English and Japanese localization, thinking about that there’s currently a rift in between Hamaguchi and the social networks accounts.
Which side are you on? Group Kate Sith or Ket Shee? In any case, we ought to be seeing a lot more from the loveable mascot when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth debuts on February 29, 2024. The video game’s obviously devoting considerably more screen time to all celebration members, even reaching presenting team-up attacks for each character pairing à la Chrono Trigger.
