dus it matter?????? its a game ( the best game in the world i might add ) and so they can put what weapon they want with him.
If he had a sword then cloud wouldent be unique, and so on. So they made a new weapon up for cid. As some one said earlia the question u should be asking is... Y THE HELL DOES A CAT SITTING ON TOP OF A FLUFF BALL KILL ENEMYS WITH A MEGAPHONE... this worlds insane, but as its final fantasy, they can get away with it!!!
