I don't like the outfit. To me there is a difference between a sexy outfit and a sexualized outfit. But I can forgive stuff like that if the character is actually a well written and enjoyable character. If the character gets treated like a walking sex object, I'll dislike the outfit that much more. Obviously not saying that's the case here as I have no idea what they're doing with her, just talking about in general

I also just find the outfit incredibly ridiculous looking and unappealing, overly sexualized or not.

As far as having a female Cid, could be a neat idea depending how its handled. I would have expected an older lady though because Cid is usually older. We will see how it goes~
