    FFVI Cid pretty clearly regrets his actions after realising what he's actually been doing. I can't see how he's anything approaching villainous. The worst that can be said of him for certain is that, before the party meets him, he is ignorant of the effects of his actions, and literally as soon as the Espers turn themselves to Magicite, he has a heel realisation and performs a heel face turn.

    I like Cid from FFV, however Cid Highwind of FFVII is rather clearly the best Cid. Being playable makes a massive difference to this kind of thing, not to mention the personality given to him. If you think of the time FFVII came out, similar characters like Wolverine were really successful around those years.

    Is that really what XIII's Cid looks like? Cid is supposed to an older guy like the others.

    As for the topic. Regent Cid for me.

    Yeah, he was really just the most all-around memorable Cid to me.

    If you say "Cid", I think of Highwind. (Well, and our forum's beloved founder, of course.)

    Final Fantasy XII's Cid. The pretty playboy Cid for fan girlish reasons and Dr Cid makes a excellent villain.

    Cid Highwind, he became my favorite Cid after only a couple of minutes of screen time.

    As much as I love Cid Highwind, I'm going to throw a vote out for Cid Randell. I love his depth and characterization, and the wondrous things he brings to FFTA.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    That's not a bad list.....but FFI does not have a Cid, I'm sure you knew that though.

    I have to go with either FFIV Cid or FFVII.

    FFII Cid helped rescue Hilda and then, with his dying breath, gave you an airship.

    He was cool.

    Cid Highwind is the obvious, though eminently correct, answer. Hilarious character and just fun to play.
