Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Confirms Cait Sith Pronunciation as “Kate Sihth”

Square Enix has confirmed the pronunciation of Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as “Kate Sihth.” For those unaware, the pronunciation of this character’s name has been a controversial topic since the launch of the original Final Fantasy VII.

No one has ever been quite sure of how to say it since, if I recall correctly, no one ever calls Cait Sith by name in any Final Fantasy VII media that is voiced. So, it’s nice to finally get clarification on this long-discussed subject matter.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the first entry in this ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy effort. This new entry is far more ambitious than the first, set to occur until The Forgotten Capital from the original game.

Players can look forward to playable Cait Sith and Red XIII, with Vincent also revealed, though not extensively. Gold Saucer will be a prominently featured location with plenty of minigames.

Speaking of, the Junon infiltration minigame has been significantly enhanced, with Cloud directing soldiers to form specific compositions. Further, Sephiroth will be playable during the Nibelheim flashback. Combat has undergone a shakeup, with new synergy attacks utilizing multiple party members, and Red XIII has a unique revenge gauge mechanic.
