There's a cut-scene in DoC where he first wakes up in his coffin, and I *think* he had long, pointed fingers under a black glove on that hand.

i saw that scene not long ago, about a week or so ago , are you sure? because i didn't see any pointy fingers.
i was thinkin more that cids appearence just fit with a spear weilder
plus with the discovery that he speaks with a southern accent a gun would be more appropriate i think
The whole Cid/Kain Highwind thing seemed to pull it all together for me. Cid was the only character I cared for, and once I got him, I never removed him from my party-of-three.
He seemed like the guy to use a knife to me but i guess someone had to use the spear
Mop FTW!!
but well.. i guess i know what you mean.. Cid being a rocket-scientist and all.. it might be more fitting to have some tech-ish weapons? But i feel the Cid in FF-VII wasn't an eccentric, like the Cid in the Final Fantasy animation "FF unlimited".. Cid Highwind was more of a fatherly figure IMO, and "primitive" weapons seems to suit that image of mine more =)
anyways, in AC, i seriously laughed my ass off when barret asked
"Don't you have parachutes on this thing?"
Cid: "What are you saying? just JUMP!"
lol xD
