Pilot and spear fighter · Rocket Town

Cid is a pilot whose spaceflight ambitions were damaged by a failed launch. His relationship with Shera and Shinra reflects the bitterness that followed.

  • Story: His aviation skills become important to the party’s mobility, while later events revisit the meaning of the failed space programme.
  • In the game: Cid is a strong physical option with useful multi-hit Limits. Keep support Materia distributed so he can attack when appropriate without leaving the party unable to recover.
