    Headmaster Cid

    What did you all think of him? I thought he was a dent in an otherwise perfect game, so much so that I hated him. He was such a goof and his role as headmaster of the school was comical IMO.

    I thought he was a decently believable and likable character. Wise, but not unrealistically sage-like.
    However, he definitely falls into the game's category of "lol, stupid old people are too stupid and useless to do anything, thank god we've got mighty teenagers like Squall to save the day!!!" which I find highly annoying.

    Big D pretty much summed up my opinion too. I'm pretty indifferent about Headmaster Cid overall though.

    I think he's a cute ol' guy! He's like a damsel in distress.

    Yeah maybe he was cute when he was young just think why would Edea married that man if she didn't get attracted by him.

    The world of silence maybe a cold and bitter one; like the deep wastes of the arctic regions, it is fit for neither man nor beast. Holding one’s tongue may be prudent, but it is an act of rejection; silence build walls – and walls are symbols of failure.

    looks aren't the only factor of attraction, she could have been attracted to his goofy charm, a person burdoned with the powers of the Sorcoress may want to laugh from time to time don't ya think? Cid may actualy be a very funny man in a domestic setting... i kinda liked him myself though he was not the best Cid ever... as for him handing the controll over to Squall, i believe it's because him fighting his wife whom he clearly remembers could be a conflict of interests, besides, it's what he was training/raising him for anyway...

    Cid Kramer is a very realistic character in action and appearance. I thought that he was one of the better presented characters in the game, and I wish that his role had extended beyond his first actions as Headmaster, as he loses relevance later on in the story.

    I did NOT like his attitude towards Squall: "'But, but, but' That isn't something a leader should say." As the first hint of troube, i.e the conflict with Galbadia Garden, he turned tail and fled, so he's not really one to comment on leadership.

    And I agree, Robin Williams, although he has been compared to Elton John as well.

    I just wish he had a bit more energy, like a lot of the other Cids have had in past FF's.

    I agree. The resemblance to Robin Williams is uncanny. I wonder who the character designer, Tetsuya Nomura, based the character off of. Is this information available through an interview or something?

    I agree with Tallulah, when you first see him he looks all big and mighty explaining the dollet mission, then he puts Squall incharge of Balamb and later just runs off during the galbadian attack!?
    And yeah he looks like Robin Williams

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    I liked him. He was no Cid Highwind, but I still liked him.
