Why didn´t Cait Sith just die?

[Peter_20]

While I was watching this event with Cait Sith trying to help with the Tempe of the Ancients part ("solve a puzzle") for the first time, I was hopeful - this just had to mean he´ll die.
However, suddenly a twin pops out from nowhere (Cait Sith No.2?! WTF?!) and rejoins your team forever.

Why didn´t he just disappear?
He should have died, just like Aeris.
I also thought this No.2 thingy was downright embarrassing.
I was like, LOL, what the hell is happening here?

Cait Sith SHOULD´VE died, for several reasons.

Cait Sith is just a robot controlled by (SPOILER)Reeve so he can just keep coming back as long as the person controlling him is alive.

And why must he die? He is so adorable and cute. :<3:

Whats wrong with Cait Sith? I liked him. I was upset when I thought was going to die in the Temple the first time I played. When I found out he survived (sort of) I danced around a little. Cait was awesome. But then I've always liked the strange characters everyone else appears to hate (ex. Umaro, Quina, Kimarhi, ect.)

Cait Sith is my best shot at beating Emerald and Ruby weapon, yay for reels!

[Peter_20]

What the hell?
Usually EVERYONE seems to hate him.
But oh well, for some strange reason people always disagree with me, even on this point!

If I told you FF7 was the best game ever, I´m pretty sure it would sound like:
"I don´t think so. [game X] is much better, IMHO."

...and there´s also this thread where I told you FF7 was really easy, which everyone seemed to think.
"Well, if you use all this Materia, it´s no surprise you find it easy.
Try without, it´s fun." and so on (no quotations).

*sigh*

I´m just complaining right now, but it´s so frustrating that nobody can agree with me on something, for once.

I've found that if you say something against a particular character, the people who dislike that character don't come, the people who like them come to argue with you. Its just the way it seem to work.

xD, someone finally figured that out!

Best scene in video game history.

Well, I do agree on the fun part (I did LOL a few minutes during the thing) but I still think it was rather stupid.

i didnt want cait sith to die because hes cool but i never realy use him.but when he came out and just said."hi im cait sith no.2"i couldnt stop thinking."holy random [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]!!!"
i take it cait sith turns good beciase reeve doesnt like shinra that much but in what point of the game does it say that cait sith is being controled by reeve?

What gets me wondering why Cait Sith #1's equipment and accessories didn't get mashed with him.

Seriously.

God I hate Cait Sith. And now he's in AC too, stupid thing. He's opne of the most obnoxious video game characters of all time, in m opinion. I hate him. Completely worthless, too; I never put him in my party any time other than what was required.

I hate him so much.

Maybe I'm overreacting.

It doesn't directly say that he is, but it's just one of those things in Final Fantasy which is open to interpretation, think of it what you will.

[Reles]

I like him, I think he's a decent fighter, I also seemed to enjoy everything about him. They made a very creative character out of him, by being a puppet controlled by the enemy. I like.

Well, video games tend to not be entirely realistic, which is why Cait Sith number 2 was there to join your party instantaneously. Losing his best equipment when the first body was crushed wouldn't have been good times either.

Reeve is also probably my favorite non-playable character in the game, because he exhibits very human qualities. He's no hero, but he's a "basically good" person who, in spite of his best intentions, lacks the will to do both his own thing and the right thing for any number of reasons (Could be that he fears retribution from defying Shinra, or even that he just likes the money that his job provides).
