(SPOILER)Do you prefer to save Cid or do you prefer to kill him?
I prefer the latter. The story following is much better imo

I have a syndrome where if I have to pick between being a bad boy or a good boy in a game, I will always be a good boy. THE GUILT! I CAN'T LIVE WITH IT!
Can you just put a spoiler in the thread title?
I didn't even know saving was an option for the first half dozen times I played the game. IMO it works MUCH better that way.
I didn't know at first either. I was sad
I normally try to save Cid, eventhough it does take a bit longer to complete.
I wouldn't feel right killing him right off the bat.
At first, I thought him dying was part of the story until I read in gamefaqs that you have the option of saving him, which of course, shocked me Now whenever I replay the game, I always save him.

Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

I've never saved him before, but killing him makes the game seem that much more powerful. So I'll go with the latter option, also.

I just kill im because it just takes too long to save him.
When we dance, it looks just like Fire.
When we sing, it sounds the same tone.
I prefer it when he's dead but I save him anyway. They couldve atleast slipped in an extra 3 second scene in the ending of cid waving at the sky or something when theyre flying over the world.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I didn't know it was possible to save him. Needless to say he died on my playthrough, and I sailed away from that little island never to look back.
I save Cid on all of my playthroughs because I feel bad about letting him die like that. I think that it makes more sense from a storyline perspective that Cid dies, as I doubt that Celes would find all of her friends and get an airship and just let Cid stay on the Solitary Island by himself. He has no further role or interaction in the story, either.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I let him die for the awesome suicide scene.
...
The only contribution he has for the story is dying, saving him nets you nothing, not even a cool extra scene or anything. Letting him die gets you one of the most powerful scenes in the 16-bit era of RPGs and easily one of the most powerful scenes in the series.
So yeah, I fill him up with weak fish so he'll croak faster.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I usually try to save him, but then he'll die due to the inevitable lack of yummy fish.
It seems so awkward just leaving him there if he survives, with no new dialogue when you return to Solitary Island with the airship.
