    Default Why does Cid Highwind use a spear?

    Seriously, I want to know. What sense does it make for his weapon to be a spear?

    He likes spears? Why does Cloud use a sword? Why does Aries use a Rod? Why does Vincent use a gun? He could just use that claw arm of his. Why do any of them use the weapons they have?

    The same reason he does the whole jumping bit for a couple of his Limit Breaks. Dragon Knight tradition.

    Cloud uses a sword to emulate Sephiroth, Aerith uses a rod because she's poor and not very athletic so she can't afford anything else, Vincent uses a gun because (SPOILER)he used to be a turk, and all good gangsters have guns.

    See, they all have reasons. Cid doesn't.

    EDIT: Kishi, that doesn't answer why it doesn't go along with the stooooryyyyy.

    Eh, how about . . . Cid became a fisherman after the whole rocket thing. He prefers stabbing the fish in his frustration as opposed to using a fishing rod.

    By the way, Cloud uses a sword because all SOLDIERs do and he believes he is one. Aeris uses a rod because living in Midgard she needed to defend herself and a rod/staff/bo is the best defensive weapon ever made. Vincent uses a gun because it is a non-intimate weapon which allows him to kill without remorse if need be. Yuffie uses a throw instead of a ninja sword or daggers because she's just a little show-off. Red XIII doesn't actually use his earrings, they just raise his attacks somehow. Cait Sith . . . Cait Sith is the only character in the game whose "weapon" doesn't make sense. How does a better microphone allow your giant mog to attack any stronger.

    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.

    Survey says.... "He likes spears."

    Really, I don't think the reason is anything more than that.

    His arms are queer shaped, so spear is his dish.

    I think he should've had a minigun. No, wait, 2 miniguns. One in each hand. And a clown hat. That'd make him awesome.

    Regardless of his weapon, I think they shoulda had him wear a wife-beater with mustard and bbq sauce stains.
