    Post Cidolfious the Lamest.

    Who would you say is your least favorite Cid?

    I was very let down with FFVIII's idea of a Cid. Cid is suppose to be an awesome badass who screams at me to drink my god damn tea and creates airships. Not an old withered headmaster who never was and never is very useful.

    He has really good cards though!
    Cid of the Lufaine is my least favorite, if only because he died before you got to meet him

    I am going with FFVIII as well. He didn't really have any connection with being an engineer at all. I can't say I was very partial to XII either.

    Cid in Final Fantasy VII. He acts like the primitive human being he is. And later he regrets it. "Oh no, why have I been so rude to my assistant?" And what's the matter with his cigarette? Does it make him cooler? No, it doesn't. Thinking that smoking makes you cooler is idiotic.

    The dude smokes while in and/or working on a rocket loaded with rocket fuel. Such flagrant disregard for basic safety procedures is just badass.

    FFVIII had the lamest Cid though. I honestly wanted to kill that guy because he was so useless. "Why don't I let the 18 year old recent graduate with little real experience lead the Garden because I'm a big useless pansy."

    Yep, lamest of them all.

    Like I said. Idiotic.

    And when I say something bad about Final Fantasy VII it really has to be idiotic. He does not look cool and except a few lines his character is not cool as well. He has a great dream. That's the only thing I like.

    I can't believe the vII and VIII hate in here. to me it seemed like XII's Al-Cid left us with the least impression. He was hardly in the story and didn't even look like a Cid.

    The Cid in Final Fantasy XII is Cidolfus Demen Bunansa and not Al-Cid from Rozzaria. And the Cid of Final Fantasy XII was probably one of the best Cids ever.

    What. FFXII has two cids, and both are pretty awesome.

    Lamest Cid is either FFIV or FFVII Cid, because they have practically the same personality.

    Cid Highwind is a badass and you all are heathens.

    I gotta go with VIII's Cid, as well, but that might just be my dislike of the game in general showing through.

    Correction. Badass. Any engineer could work calmly on a spaceship. Cid can while risking his life, drinking his tea, and cursing angrily at the nuts and bolts as he screws them with his spear.

    You cannot correct me. It is my opinion at this is not of your business. This is not cool or "badass" like you would say.

    What it is, is unoriginal, considering that it's almost the same as FFIV Cid.

    In that case. FFIV is bad too, because the idea of Crystals originated from FFI, and FFIII. It's just paying homage which is cool, 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.

    ...chill.

    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

    IV and VIII seemed very different to me. In FFIV he was a father figure type of person and in FFVII he was some asshole who you felt was going to kick everyone's ass around him.
