No recent wiki edits to this page. Cid is a recurring character concept in the Final Fantasy franchise and some of its spin-offs.
The Cid that appears in each game is never the same person, nor do the Cids necessarily fill the same role from game to game although at least three of them have been airship engineers.
Some Cids appear as playable characters while others feature in supporting NPC roles. A select few have also appeared as villains and boss encounters. Though their roles vary, Cids often share similar traits with one another. They tend to be older than the central character, or if not noticeably older at least wiser to the ways of the world. In fact, many Cids share an interest in or at least become heavily involved with airships at some point in their respective games.
This Cid, named Dr. Sid, is a scientist voiced by Donald Sutherland. Scott has been writing for The Gamer since it launched in and also regularly contributes to Screen Rant. He has been gaming since the days of the ZX Spectrum, when it used to take 40 minutes to load a game from a tape cassette player to a black and white TV set.

He is among the first to suspect that some evil force is corrupting the once-good king, and winds up being jailed for treason after his suspicions are proven true. After Cecil and his crew save the castle and clear Cid's name, the cantankerous old man joins the party for a spell, beating up enemies with his wrench. At a pivotal moment later on, Cid sacrifices himself to save the party.
His death scene is nothing short of extreme overkill, as he jumps off of the airship, Enterprise, while holding a bomb. His sprite literally disappears, as if having been vaporized by the explosion, completely wiped off the face of the planet Somehow, Cid turns up the Dwarf's infirmary, with only minor injuries. Cid Pollendina is so badass, he shrugs off, simultaneously, a massive bomb to the face and a thousand-foot fall.
Cid even makes a final return appearance in the distant sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years , where he's as audaciously awesome as ever.
While there is a degree of tension between most of the races, none are more persecuted or outright hated than the Al-Bhed, who are regarded with nigh-universal disdain.
In Spira, most people follow the teachings of Yevon, which forbid the use of Machina, or machines. The Al-Bhed choose to defy this arbitrary rule, and are outcasts because of it. Of course, being a race obsessed with technology and engineering, it should come as no surprise that Cid is prominent among their ranks. Cid is basically the boss of the Al-Bhed, insofar as they even have a leader, and he also is the captain of the airship which the party uses in the later stages of their journey to defeat Sin.
Cid is also father to Rikku, the youngest and most adorable of FFX 's main cast, and their bickering serves as a source of humor and tenderness throughout X and its sequel, X Cid's first proper appearance was in Final Fantasy II , where he was seen with many of the traits which would recur in future iterations of the character. He ferries the player around on his airship, has the prickly personality of a hardened mercenary along with a strong and righteous heart, and ultimately chooses to fight alongside the heroes against the villains.
In this case, however, his fight ends in death. Fortunately for Firion and his friends, Cid gifts them his prized airship while on his deathbed, giving them the edge they need to continue their quest to defeat The Emperor and his minions. Final Fantasy II is known for its surprisingly dark storyline and dishearteningly high body count. Back in the day, Cid was just another corpse to throw on the pile, but his death is much rougher on today's audiences , who know all about the lasting legacy of the Cid name, and how it all started here, with the ill-fated Cid of Final Fantasy II.
However, none of them can match the awe-inspiring glory of Cid Fabool IX, who boasts not only the greatest mustache in Final Fantasy , but perhaps the greatest facial hair of all time, across any medium. Cid Fabool IX's mustache is so amazing, he even retains it when his jealous wife transforms him into an Oglop; Cid had an short-term fling with a young barmaid, and Hilda didn't take too kindly to his betrayal, transforming him and then running away. In his quest to become a human again, he commissions Doctor Tot to create a curative potion, but it only turns him into a frog; better, but by no means ideal.
Even as a frog, however, Cid still has his signature mustache. It isn't until he reunites with Hilda that she forgives him and turns him back into his original form. In the game's ending, it is shown that Cid and Hilda are officially back together, and have even adopted Eiko, FFIX 's tween summoner, as their daughter. It's just a small part of Final Fantasy IX 's finale, but it's a sweet moment that proves that Cid Fabool IX is more than just a beautiful mustache -- he's also a committed to his marriage and being a good father to a deserving young girl.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a tough game. Every player of FFT remembers the first time they got completely wasted by the archers and black mages of the Dorter slums, or how totally unfair that one-on-one battle with Wiegraf can be. However, once Cidolfus Orlandeau joins the party, the game is broken by how completely overpowered he is. In the world of Ivalice, Cid is known as T.
Cid, which is short for Thunder God Cid, and his moveset reflects this imposing nickname. As a Sword Saint, Cid has access to every Swordskill in the game. These powerful moves are normally distributed between special characters like Agrias and Gaffgarion, but Cid can use them all. In addition, the Sword Saint class has the highest stat growth in the game, so he will continue to outpace all other characters at high levels. Even the master manipulator Delita knows this, orchestrating events behind the scenes so that Cid can stay with Ramza's party and help them in their fight against the Lucavi, a fight that Delita couldn't possibly hope to win on his own.
Bitter from his failed attempt at being the first man in outer space, Cid's arc in VII is the slow mellowing out of a broken and angry man whose past failures have precluded the possibility of a future. He's constantly cursing up a storm and smoking cigarettes; he's a gruff character, even by the gritty standards of Final Fantasy VII. Based on his prickly personality, one might expect Cid to use a weapon like a gun, brass knuckles, or even a broken whiskey bottle.
Curiously, he uses a spear, and fits the gameplay archetype of a Dragoon, making use of that class's powerful Jump ability as his first Limit Break.
