Thread: Why does Cid Highwind use a spear?

  1. #16

    Default

    He used the spear so he could practice stabbing a flagpole into the ground (like for the moon).
    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.

    THE JACKEL

    That's just...wrong...(unless...Shera's a man!!!! )

    Seriously though, does it really MATTER what weapon they use? like The Jackel said, what other common weapon would you rather have him use? Square decided Cid was going to use spears...so spears he uses.

    Many, MANY, thanks go out to Sphere for this great sig!

    I know. He's a non-Dragon Knight that carries on Dragon Knight traditions.

    Given that Cid's last name is Highwind, his use of the spear (as well as Boost Jump/Hyper Jump Limit Breaks) is likely an allusion to Kain Highwind of FFIV fame. And, as Kishi has already pointed out, he carries on the Dragon Knight tradition, even if he isn't actually a Dragon Knight (or Dragoon, if you prefer).

    I didn't know his name was Kain Highwind.

    What was Cecil's last name?

    he likes rockets and stuff, why not have a rocket launcher? it's so bizarre to see him with a spear.

    Good grief people, it DOESN'T really matter what weapon he uses, I was just trying to have a bit of fun and get some speculation going. Y'all are a bunch of killjoys if I ever saw any.

    Well, not all of you, the ones who played along are cool and get gold stars.

    And DJZen, I didn't get that idea from anywhere, I just decided it for myself because Cloud is up Sephiroth's butt anyways, so why not?

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    God- everyone knows why Cid uses a spear. I mean, its only the most obvious fact in the universe :P and that reason is: its one of the weapons that hadnt been issued to another character.

    Asking why Cid uses a spear is like asking why Clint Eastwood shoots a gun.
