Why is Cid cranky?
Cid Highwind swears more than all the other characters in the game put together. He routinely flies completely off the handle and starts bitching people out for no reason. Barrett, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, random joke-telling NPCs, it really doesn't matter.
Why?
I would think cuz he ran out of money for cigarettes, but why do you think he's cranky?
Dreams crushed.
Tifa and Cloud and Barrett and Vincent and Yuffie and Reeve's dreams have all been crushed. Yet the only one among them who is especially cranky is Barrett, and even he can't match Cid's vitriol.
So why is Cid so much more angry?
Because he's angry at himself. I don't think anyone else had their dreams crushed at quite the magnitude Cid did.
People deal with things in different ways. "Why are you mad? Yuffie's not mad!"
That's exactly what I was thinking.Originally Posted by comma
None of the others were gonna go into freakin' space.
Though the nicotine withdrawal and caffeinated tea probably don't help.
Out of cigarettes seems accurate.

But he always has a cigarette with him. He's fine, he just has all this ANGST about turning off the engine and not getting into space.
Is it an e-cigarette? Does he charge it with Bolt spells?
This has given me the idea of game mechanic where you have to charge Cid's e-cigarrette and buy him cartridges or he'll be inflicted with Berserk so many turns into a battle. The longer you wait, the sooner he'll be Berserked.
Which is silly, of course.
It's not just that his dreams were crushed, but that he was SO CLOSE to obtaining his dream. And now he has to live with the reminder 24/7 staring down at him that he's probably never going to get his dream back.
Japanese culture thing. Cid is "old" and older people are often seen as short tempered and brash.
Shera didn't make his god damn TEA!

Cid hasn't had his enema.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
It was his time of the month
He's just an ass.
