Yup, Cid is one of those things that'll keep appearing in FF. But, most of the Cids are 'good'. Somehow, it's my first time seeing a badaxx Cid in the latest FF. :)

LOL, yeah.  If they removed Cid, then there goes the comic relief.  He is so funny.  And by the way, Kinetic-Cor answered your question, yes she did. :D

I don't think Cid was in the NES release. Don't take that as fact until I look it up. But I'm pretty sure he made his original appearance in the 2nd game.

If not in every FF then just about every FF you'll find Cid. I know the lastest entries definitely had a Cid.  They even had a Cid in the Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie but no Chocobo's. I believe Chocobo's been around since the first game. Biggs & Wedge also been seen alot in the series also. I dunno how far back they go though.

Yep, in every Final Fantasy a Cid is present. The appearance of Cid in the first Final Fantasy however, is debatable since he did not appear in the original North American localisation of the game, but did so in the Playstation port and in Final Fantasy 1 & 2: Dawn of Souls on the GBA. Even then, his name was only mentioned and the player never actually got to see the man himself. Concerning Biggs & Wedge, I know very well that their first appearance in a Final Fantasy game was in VI - people who have played the game will remember that the two characters appeared right at the beginning of the game when they accompanied Terra in the Magitek armour attack on Narche.

Ya those Cids...As far as I know these r the Cids I've met, and no there aren't any spoilers in here.

In FF V he was a scientist or something, in IV he was also an engineer in Baron, VII hes that badass Cid with the spear, IX hes that monster regent of Lindblum, X he's also the captain of an airship, he's also on The Spirits Within.

Who the hell's Cid anyway?

Biggs and Wedge are only in 4 games I think, FF VI, VII, X and X-2.

Nope, I remember in FFIV the "engineer" Cid was playable for a while...until he closed the hole to the underworld.  He was able to us a wrench for a weapon.

Cid was not in the original NES version, but introduced in FF II.  Also if you noticed, he's always the person who helps you obtain your airship or "Flying Machine"

Every Cid has some sort of part in the story but none really got me as much as Cid Highwind. Lock him and Barrett in a room and you will get a lot of curse words and rage.

Cid wasn't in the earliest one. The original FFI released back in the 80s didn't have Cid. But, subsequent FFs, spin-offs [FF Originas, FFI.II Advance] have Cid mentioned somewhere in the game.

Also, the one in FF: TSW wasn't even Cid... it was Sid. They totally blew off TSW to be a Final Fantasy with that move, i think.

SPOILER ALERT FOR FFX

Cid was the guy who let you borrow the airship to reach sin. How could you forget? Hes also Rikkus uncle.

END SPOILER

SPOILER ALERT FOR FFX2

Cid was the guy who wanted to turn Zanarkand into a tourist attraction.

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. Why is Cid in most, if not all, of the FFs? I guess the creators just like the name, or maybe it's one of the creators name that made a big contribution to the game. Who knows.

yes there is always a Cid in the final fantasies and there is also moogles, chocobos, Biggs, and Wedge

karoy

There were Moogles in every FF?  I remember Lulu having a Moogle in FFX as one of her dolls...I guess they made appearances in all of them?

I think because back when Sackaguchi had control over the series the games never had direct sequels and every game had a unique game world. Because of this I think they introduced little traditions like Cid, moogles and chocobos in order to tie together a series of games which were otherwise different from one another.

I retain useless knowledge so these kinda things are bound to pop up all over the forums xD Here's another, which you probably will know, Jack and Rose from Metal Gear Solid 2 are references to the characters with the same names from Titanic. Hideo Kojima likes movie cameos! And Solid Snake was named after a man called Snake Pliskin in a John Carpenter film called Escape From LA. (Great movie, watch it!)

Yep, Cid's been in every FF game since 2, Chocobos since 2, Airships since 1, Moggles since 3 (wasn't in part 4 though but they were in Secret of Mana. Was barely in part 8, one of the cards and if you had a PocketStation there was a mini-game), and summons since 3. From 1 thru 5 the crystals always played a central part of the story. I guess they kinda had crystals in 6 with the magicite and in 7 with the materia. Crystals returned in 9. I guess you could say the spheres in 10 are crystals.

FF8 had the least amount of traditional stuff, that's why usually it's the most hated FF game to FF purists. Plus the draw system was stupid.
