This whole "magical crystals" idea is a bad idea and has been reused by SE too often. Luckily the Crystals aren't a major part of FFIV's story, since they're soon virtually forgotten about after the first 1/4 of the game.

but saying it's almost the same as FFIV Cid is pretty inaccurate, hell the only thing they have in common is being a builder of ships and being loud.

---

Same bad attitude and personality, too.

EDIT: Oh and another similarity would be joining the party, but if you consider that similarity then we're just spinning our wheels already xD

Yeah, it's just too bad that this similarity is not enough to make a major impact on anything in the game.

Why so serious Sephi?

I'm going with the Banana Condom Cid, the jerk croaked and made me feel bad.

I'm done debating now that there was a negative comment about FFIV's Cid. May his beard have mercy on your soul.

Your actions don't match what you say in your posts. :|

Toss up between VI and VIII Cid's.

Like many have stated VIII's Cid is a bit of a non-entity and the same pretty much went with VI's Cid whose greatest accomplishment in the game in terms of story was dying.

I may also add XIII's Cid. (SPOILER)He was poorly utilized in the game and snuffed out before he could really do anything.

FFXIII's Cid, Chapter 10-11-ishYes he did die early, but I really feel that Cid inspired the party in that game. He reentered the storyline when the party's most vocal leader (Snow) was feeling doubt, and Cid reaching Crystal form despite failing his focus snapped the party back on track

Cid from VII is awesome due to his running animation.

I have no idea what Cid from VIII was doing so I guess he's my least favourite. Although i only like Cid from IX when he was in Frog form, oglop form and human form didnt apeal to me.

Um... wasn't virtually the whole game until you go to the moon about keeping Golbez from the crystals?

If XII's Al-Cid counts, Al-Cid. If not, VIII's.

>>> FF6 Cid, he appears in the game like, 2 times?..:luca:

FFVIII's Cid was lame, but I found that to be endearing! I suppose my least favorite is FFIXs, but I didn't dislike him. Just my least favorite out of all of them. xD

This thread makes me want to play FFXII again just so I can see the coolest Cid ever :(

Cid from FFIII never struck me as particularly engaging.

Omg all this serious bsns debate is really dull, guys.

Anyway, I'm gonna have to go with VIII Cid too. He really was quite boring. Otherwise Al-Cid from XII, I never really liked him. His voice actor annoyed me, he was overused in X and not very good imo. That probably smudged my judgment slightly.

I agree with No.78, VIII's Cid and Al-Cid a'la XII, he was just annoying more than anything, and poorly developed. I did however like X's cid.

One thing I also noticed about the Cids is that they almost always have a family relationship with at leas tone of the cast members. In IV he was Rosa's father, in VI Celes' Grandpa, in VIII he was the matron's wife, who the matron seemed to be a mother like figure to the orphaned cast so would that have made him the father figure? In IX he was Garnet's uncle and in X he was Yuna's uncle. He played father again in XII to (SPOILER)Balthier
