well, actually , in the ff1 on nes, there isnt a cid, but they put the lufenian part in origins and later remakes. (well, you probably knew that since you didnt put it in the poll...meh.)

what a choice. ffIII's cid is the coolest. (amano!!mm...amano... ) where did you find the amano artwork, avathar?

i like to look at the cids like this:

ffII: biker cid
ffIII:cool cid
ffIV:wild cid
ffv: hippie cid
ffvi: raincoat cid
ffvii: redneck cid
ffviii: professor/headmaster cid
ffix:womanizing prime minister cid
ffx:elder cid

my friends and i always make fun of the cids like this. :D

and, ffvs cid is probably the most helpful cid. (c'mon, he helps you every other event in the first world!)

fft's cid kicks the most ass, hes a godlike cid!!

and, i think there was a cid in the movie "the spirits within", which ive never seen , but everyone seems to hate it. :confused:

gaaah, i just cant decide!!! so many cids!!

:confused:

...since i can only put 10 answers in the poll, i've limited it from II to XI. yes, there's also a Cid in Fantasy Tactics, and Tactics Advance, but... i went with these ten :rolleyes:
And the other Cid's:

- From the movie Spirits Within: Dr. Sid, who discovers the energy in both Phantoms and Humans.
- From the animé Final Fantasy: Unlimited: Cid, the eccentric inventor
- From Kingdom Hearts: this Cid is based on the one from FFVII
- In Chocobo's Mysterious Adventure 2: Cid, the outcast inventor

...oh yeah, the other 5 pics :D

Final Fantasy VII

Cid from VII is my fav - is he the only character named Cid that you can actually control?

ShadowHeart
12-20-2005, 05:39 PM
No, you can control Cid in FFIV too if I remember correctly.

My favourite Cid is from Final fantasy IX. He does so much for everyone no matter what form he is.

Avathar
12-20-2005, 06:20 PM
Can't you control the Cids in both Final Fantasy Tactics?

And i went with Cid from FF6. His development through the story...remarkable :cool:

yup, and in the gba, you can use him in your party again. (same with gilbert, yang, polom, and porom, they all have new weapons and armor in a secret bonus dungeon!)

the cid in chocobo dungeon looks like the one from ff4, doesnt he?

Wow! I didn't guess I'd get this much response to an insignificant question...Thanks.

:confused: Orlandu was the Cid in FFT??? It HAS been a while, maybe I just don't remember that. But yes, he was a pretty powerful character.

I like Cid from X and X-2!
It's pretty weird that there is a Cid in every game, lol.

Phoenix Flame
12-23-2005, 03:27 PM
Is he the only character that has a part in just about every FF??? Next will be O'aka from X & X-2...that guy was kinda cool!

ShadowHeart
12-23-2005, 06:43 PM
Bahamut is in every FF too as far as I know.. well I don't know about the Tactics games and Crystal Chronicles.. but he's in all the main series games.

Is it just me or does the Cid from VIII looks like Robin Williams?

ShadowHeart
12-23-2005, 06:47 PM
Yeah, I thought so too.

Avathar
12-23-2005, 08:20 PM
...omg, that picture does look like Robin Williams :eek: :D

........(thinking about other characters)...........................

.......uhm,....oh, OH: BIGGS AND WEDGE! Don't they almost appear in every FF?

Zeromus_X
12-25-2005, 10:47 PM
biggs/wedge first appeared in ff6. they were imperial soldiers who were escorting tina in the beginning of the game. in ff7, they were AVALANCHE members. in ff8, they were galbadian soldiers.

yes, its a star wars reference. ff8 has the most star wars named characters, besides biggs and wedge, nida, a SEED , and pilot ; and piet, the dude who runs the space station . (its been a while since i last played ff8..)

id say square likes star wars ^^;;

edit: im not sure if bahamut was in ff2, i know dragons were in that one, but not a bahamut. meh.

Avathar
12-26-2005, 09:20 AM
And there were also a Biggs and Wedge in Final Fantasy X and X-2: weren't they guards of the blitzball stadium?

/.......speaking of star wars..... i figured this out:


Red XIII........Rebel Alliance Code?!

Nanaki.........Anakin?!!

actually, if you name your main character's name Cid then you can control him. :p

Avathar
12-26-2005, 03:15 PM
:cool: .................., well you've got a point there :D

Squall Leonhart
12-26-2005, 08:26 PM
Anyway, I voted for Cid in FFVIII because he trained Squall very well.(But I would have trained him better :p .)

Actually...I'm surprised to see Cid of FF8 the favoured one...I heard he was very good in FF7

Avathar

what a choice. ffIII's cid is the coolest. (amano!!mm...amano... ) where did you find the amano artwork, avathar?

:DRight here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cid_%28Final_Fantasy%29)

And it looks like Cid Kramer is winning :) , closely chased by the Highwind :cool: .

Cid in final fantasy 7 is my favourite one due to his dialogue and the fact he lights a smoke at the end of every battle.

I don't like Cid either way...you have one for that?
