Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's 'Canonical' Cait Sith Pronunciation Raises Messy Questions

The act of already remaking a game as beloved and influential as Final Fantasy VII was always a daunting prospect, even before 2020's FFVII Remake made an audacious move to reframe itself as more akin to a metatextual exploration of the very idea of remaking FFVII. But when that prospect then has to weigh generations of fan nostalgia against real-world cultural influences, things get even messier.

From fantasy staples like goblins, ghouls, imps, and plenty of other creatures, to divine beings that inspire the franchise’s summonable deities—like Odin, Shiva, Ifrit, Leviathan, Quetzalcoatl, and many more—the influence of real-world faiths and myths on Final Fantasy at large since its very beginnings is undeniable. Cait Sith is no exception, sharing a name and general visual identity with the Cat-sìth, a spectral black cat from folktales across ancient Scotland and Ireland.
