Cidolfious the Lamest.

In that case. FFIV is bad too, because the idea of Crystals originated from FFI, and FFIII.

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.

It's just paying homage which is cool,

And it starts being uncool when it's repeated.

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.
