Boom. There it is. Fuck you Ket Shee people lolol! No ragrets! I always pronounced it right. What's funny is that on the FF Reddit there was post with 1200 upvotes telling people to prepare themselves to call him Ket Shee yesterday hahaha. Ket Shee is cat shit. Kate Sihth now...that's good.

 

[Metnut]

This was always the obvious answer and anyone who ever thought otherwise was delusional.

 

[artsi]

So I've been right since 1997 and I don't even speak English as my first language.

The Aerith lie I can't live with though. She's still Aeris to me.

Gonna have to agree wit this assessment.

 

[Soodanim]

1. What the fuck is Ket Shee
2. How did anyone come to that conclusion
3. Why would anyone agree with it

 

[mortal]

Also, Aeries is actually Aerith.

It's the proper Celtic/Gaelic pronunciation but...That's a stretch because to be Ket Shee it would have been more like Cait Si, with a symbol over the i that I can't recall but yeah

 

[T_T]

The better sounding name won. Imagine being named as cat shit.
Aerith was always better than Aeris btw.

 

[Gambit2483]

Lol I used to call him "Cat" Sith because he's, well...a cat.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Raven117]

Was right all along.

Always said "cat" in my head though, because fuck it. It's a cat.

 

[IAmRei]

Tidus tida taedus comes to my mind ...

 

[demigod]

Uhhh, i've always called it Kate Sith.

 

[Rentahamster]

Only a Kate Sihth deals in absolutes.

 

[Wolfpact1983]

 

[Plies]

aeris.

But people nail celtic pronunciation in all the media I consume without any hilarious consequences.

Goddamn hahahahahha. Is the Gay Bulge stronger than Nami's Happiness Punch?!

 

[Tomeru]

Ok, but what tf kind of name is that.

I mean, I recall peoples on old gaming-age or early neogaf asking how to pronounce Mario.. Fucking Mario!

Or confusing Rogue for Rouge. FFS peoples are dumb.

 

[saintjules]

Ok, but what tf kind of name is that.

The cat-sìth may have been inspired by the Scottish wildcat itself. It is possible that the legends of the cat-sìth were inspired by Kellas cats, which are a distinctive hybrid between Scottish wildcats and domestic cats found only in Scotland (the Scottish wildcat is a population of the European wildcat, which is now absent from elsewhere in the British Isles).

 

[Tomeru]

Thats an explanation alright.

 

[Deft Beck]

They are using the Japanese pronunciations/spelling for consistency. For the same reason, we have Kyrie in FF7R pronounced as "Ky-ree-eh".

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

LOL I used to troll the FF7 GameFAQs boards by calling him "Ketto shi" which is apparently the Japanese pronunciation of the Gaelic pronunciation of his name, forget if that came from Advent Children or what.

 

[nikos]

Glad I've been pronouncing it correctly since 1997.

Who the hell would read that and pronounce it Ket Shee?

 

[F0rneus]

An attempt was made

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Was confirmed last week or so in Briana White's reaction vid to the latest trailer. She pronounces it "cait," in her excited rambling.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Aenima]

Boom. There it is. Fuck you Ket Shee people lolol! No ragrets! I always pronounced it right. What's funny is that on the FF Reddit there was post with 1200 upvotes telling people to prepare themselves to call him Ket Shee yesterday hahaha. Ket Shee is cat shit. Kate Sihth now...that's good.

Seems i always pronounced the name correct. Wheres my cookie?
What i strugle is calling Aerith by her changed name as in the original her name was Aeris and just sounds better in my language.

 

[haxan7]

In other words, they dumbed it down for the masses to avoid confusion.

It's a fail on SE's part.

We might have lost the Aeris war. But Cait Sith...finally.

[Synless]

Fuck, I've been saying ket shee for years! My friends Give me shit about it. Now SE fucked me!

 

[Little Mac]

Lol I used to call him "Cat" Sith because he's, well...a cat.

 

[haxan7]

I wouldn't have let you eat my pickle anyway

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Great, I hate hearing that other pronunciation. Too bad this is an awful character regardless of how you say the name. Maybe this is one thing they will retcon and make a little better - always hated his "sacrifice" and redemption only to show up two seconds later rendering it meaningless.

 

[peronmls]

Very cool. Wow. Now I have something to talk about....

 

[Cert.in.Death]

AERIS

FOR LIFE

 

[F0rneus]

I wouldn't have let you eat my pickle anyway

double post sorry

 

[F0rneus]

I wouldn't have let you eat my pickle anyway

You have no idea how true that is hahaha

[Solidus_T]

The "ket shee" people were always weirdos to me - I never bothered to entertain them. It has always been obvious to me how it's pronounced, because it's literally based off of a Scottish fairy tale creature called cat-sith which is pronounced "Kate Sith".

 

[Mibu no ookami]

MAKE-O

Despite the obvious ま (Ma) こ (Ko)

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I knew she was a Palpatine

 

[Shake Your Rump]

The character's original Japanese name is ケットシー.

So, yeah, both pronunciations are correct. One is Japanese, the other is English. It's dumb to say the Japanese name when reading the English name, though.

 

[Barakov]

Boom. There it is. Fuck you Ket Shee people lolol! No ragrets! I always pronounced it right. What's funny is that on the FF Reddit there was post with 1200 upvotes telling people to prepare themselves to call him Ket Shee yesterday hahaha. Ket Shee is cat shit. Kate Sihth now...that's good.

Good to know I was right.

 

[squidilix]

Aerith was always better than Aeris btw.

but is the same no?

 

[F0rneus]

Greatest swordsman in the lands!

 

[Brigandier]

Anyone who pronounced it any other way is a moron.
