After Cait Sith busts them out of jail, Barrett considers him an Ally, but never lets him forget that he works for the enemy. That Reeves/Cait was part of the problem And that leads to Reeves standing up to Barrett and calling out his terrorists activities.

[@PKLO9727]

@@TheDancerMacabreCaith isn’t wrong for calling out Barret. I was always on Tifa’s side of that part. But Caith didn’t have to go so far as to betray everyone after getting close to them like that. Both are dirty in a nasty way even if one is more than the other. Both were wrong is the point, no blame game type of shit for pettiness Tbh, I’m just getting into the lore of FF7 and I just passed the betray part and man. I kind of felt that too. I thought he was true good guy double agent but he for real betrayed them like that.

[@writer_man5318]

@@PKLO9727 At least his betrayal is for better reasons in Rebirth - he learned that any who enter the Temple never return so he'd rather that happen to Shinra than the party. He was trying to pull a "You can hate me all you want, please just live!" on the party. Unfortunately, the party is stubborn and a found a way to follow them. That's probably why Cait also never told them how to get to the Temple.

Not to mention, her potential future betrayal of her own. Although I'd imagine the Wutai Arc will be dramatically different this time around. (Speculation) Wutai is secretly plotting something big, Yuffie being kept out of the loop (seeing how she's under the apparent strategical ignorance), perhaps Yuffie won't betray the party depending on your relationship level, and the big shock might be that the Wutai Interim Government is planning on betraying Wutai itself aka a possible coup d'etat. But that's all just speculation on my part.

[@Julian-nu4bx]

Cait Sith/Reeve was always one of the most interesting characters in the original IMO, but i felt he was a bit underused. I'm glad he got a bit more screentime in Rebirth, or at least it felt like. Haven't had time to get through the game yet, just seen some clips on youtube so far. There was a moment in the original that I thought was really great, when Cait Sith and Barret are having an argument aboard the Highwind, Barret is calling out Reeve for being a Shinra stooge and Cait Sith is like "bro, you were literally a terrorist". Ultimately Reeve is one of the only guys in Shinra with a moral compass, and he's just trying to do what he thinks is right in the position he's in. He's still there to help the party in the end, so he does care about doing what's right. He comes from a different realm of experience than everyone else in the party, so he approaches things in a different way. He's probably the most "law abiding citizen" out of all the main characters, so when the rest of the party is stacked with mercenaries, eco-terrorists, ninjas, edgy coffin dwellers, and disgruntled pilots, he brings a refreshing perspective to the game. Everyone always remembers the main characters like Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith and Tifa, so Reeve has always been underrated IMO. One of my favorite characters out of the whole cast of characters from FFVII. I don't think I cared all that much for him the first time I played the game many years ago, but I eventually appreciated him a lot more on subsequent replays over the years.

[@firetools]

As someone who never got to play og FF7 when it came out, the lower half of your comment brings up a good point about character focus. From my perspective I only knew of FF7 through the frequent appearances and cameos of Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, and Tifa. These new games however have brought these other characters to the spotlight and shows me how interesting the rest of FF7's cast are.

[@shizachan8421]

I think Reeve is really kind of the Everyman character of the party. He is in an influencial position at Shinra, but compared to the rest of the Execs and especially Rufus, he is just some regular office worker who has to fight through his robotic cat.

[@Ransell666]

In OG game he actually has had blackmailed them into working with him after reveal by taking Marlene as a hostage in Midgar, but here they pretty much tammed this up maybe it was too dark and people this day would have problem in roooting for him later and accept his redemption arc idk not sure if i don't like it tho, personally it was weird to me having him around after that in OG

[@Charliestrife01]

A lot of weird stuff happens in the og tbh that you can get away with with the ps1 graphics. Imagine Marlene being kidnapped now with how much more realistic the game is barret would literally murder cait 😂

[@writer_man5318]

@@Charliestrife01 It's also super out of character for Reeve.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

They did want to play up the fact that Reeve was pretty much the only good person in Shinra. It was to make him more consistent. Like with Tseng slapping Aerith in the original game, when canonically, he befriended Aerith had is implied to have feelings for her. Reeve was basically the only good person in Shinra, as he actively wanted to help the people. But him threatening Marlene wouldn't for with someone of better moral fiber like Reeve.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@@Charliestrife01 Yeah, but what would murdering Cait accomplish? Cait is literally a toy, and one that can easily be replaced. It's not like they knew who was controlling Cait at the time.

​@Charliestrife01 it's very true, the fan gave the OG too much prop and forgot a lot of problematic plot. The remake actually tone it just at the right point.

[@reflex_1019]

this is something that always bothered me when these betrayals happen: - betrays their party for enemy - refuses to elaborate why they did when the enemy already left - gets confused/sad on why the party is upset with them

[@dinorex3464]

This was actually the english localization's fault, they changed some of the dialogues and ended up making the meaning harder to understand. In the japanese version it's made very clear that Cait Sith is not confused because the party is upset, but rather that deep down a part of him grew very attached to them. So his final line is something among the lines of "Damn, in the end I really liked you all...", which makes sense considering his character. He knew it had to end this way and yet he grew attached to them and still felt bad.

[@baxtronic]

Actually, according to Cait, it wasn't out of loyalty to Shinra, but care and fear for his friends. According to legends and Shinra reports, the Cetra Temple was hyper-lethal--as proven by experience. He thought that if anyone had to die to that meatgrinder, better it be Shinra than the people he cared about.

[@eigelgregossweisse9563]

Turns out it would've been better for Shinra to have the black materia or at least someone else not Cloud.

A toy they don't fully understand. For all they know, Cait is "unique". Another Cait could have his memories but not personality.

[@Luc42]

This is the thing: I was always a little suspicious of Cait Sith. I think it's after the Mako Reactor in Gongaga that Barrett stops being suspicious and I kinda forgot about it. That is, until I noticed that while you can improve your relationship with Tifa, Barrett, Aerith, Red XIII/Namaki, and Yuffie, the same cannot be said for Cait Sith. You can't have an optional conversation with him. Instead of the gray/green/blue face, he has a black cat logo. I'm not really that surprised to be honest. But even then, it still kinda hurts.

[@PKLO9727]

Man, I thought Caith was an actual decent person too until the betrayal. I felt the same way as the group. I get the cause, but it should’ve been done that way. Just like how extreme Barret was with the bombs (I sided with Tifa).

[@writer_man5318]

He is a decent person. He learned that anyone who enters the Temple dies so he gave the Keystone to Shinra and kept the location a secret so that the party wouldn't be able to get there as he'd rather Shinra die than his friends. Unfortunately, we recruited a former Turk.

[@corjonbett]

They never hide the fact that Cait is a SHINRA spy. Why they're surprised kinda perplexes me. They're constantly making references to the fact, and Cait even CONFIRMS it at one point. (Before a lame "just kidding!" moment straight after)

[@corjonbett]

No, he was literally just following orders this time. Giving it to SHINRA would also be the same, if not worse, than giving it directly to Sephiroth. Hojo, Scarlet, Heidegger, any of them would make use of it. For war, for fun, or for science. Plus,, they all would just send some expendable grunt in to take the trap while they escaped in some super mech.@@writer_man5318

[@kamijoudazai3010]

[@Zaxares]

It's explained after you reach Cosmo Canyon. Mild spoilers below... The higher-pitched voice is Nanaki's REAL voice. Throughout Part 1 he was basically deliberately lowering his voice because he knew his real voice made him sound younger and like a kid.

After the party reaches Cosmo Canyon it is revealed that Red XIII (whose real name is Nanaki) was actually faking that harsh voice to hide his true identity and personality. Once he returns home, he drops the act and reveals he's actually pretty much a kid (despite being the oldest of the party, in his species' age he is 16), and even after choosing to stay with them he keeps his normal voice and stops acting. Even in the original japanese version he completely changed his manner of speaking after Cosmo Canyon, so I guess this is a nod to that.
