The power of beating your wife
Cid found the way off this disgusting planet. And all it took was some spousal abuse.
Hes the candidate for first astronaut. I think he is supposed to be an enginering genius but not sure. He is as amazing as 'some guy' can realistically be I think
>How does he do it?
lard in his tea
>literal rocket scientist
>some guy
I always though Cid sounded like Stephen Russell
What about Barrett?
Melanin.
Dude's like 400 pounds of pure muscle and got a gatling gun for an arm.
Cid is a really weird character
He doesn't really have any connection to the story or even any reason to tag along with the heroes, and I don't think he has a single mandatory party member section of the story before he becomes the player character after Mideel.
You can't even make him hold the black materia like Nanaki and Barret.
Always felt like he isnt truly a part of the team until you get the highwind. I wonder if a previous draft made more sense. The Tiny Bronco seems like a strange series of events
I feel like that was intentional. I played 7 for the first time recently and he's pretty nonchalant about joining the party. He figures he can't go back to rocket village for a bit so he just says "Yeah sure I'll tag along, sounds interesting." I didn't unlock Vincent but Yuffie is basically the same.
>I didn't unlock Vincent but Yuffie is basically the same.
Yuffie's just playing you for the long con. Her side-quest is her dropping the mask. She's just using you to gather materia, and when you approach her home she steals it all to give it to her people. Her whole plan is to revive the power of her nation.
I did her side quest, although I found out there's a part where she can fight people in the pagoda which I never discovered. I assumed she was just giving the party a sob story to lull them into a false sense of security before getting Cloud to pull the lever and drop the cage on his party.
Yes, Yuffie has two whole side-quests for character development. It's great. She has more time spent on her than the majority of the cast of FF8 for instance.
>He doesn't really have any connection to the story or even any reason to tag along with the heroes,
He gets put on Shinra's shit list after the Tiny Bronco incident, so he can't go back home. And the most major connection is that he's the Captain of the Highwind. So from a pure storyline section, you could have had Cid be introduced, then become a playable character after you get the Highwind. Or just never make him playable?
The only reason you're able to commandeer the Highwind and fly it around is because of him. The crew trusts him, not your random ass. You're just along for the ride. By providing the Highwind, the crew, and the engineering knowhow, Cid is one of the most important party members and why he's considered the third leader.
He just redirects all of the energy he would spend wifebeating at his enemies.
He built a huge ass ship that showers his enemies with missiles.
Why does he need to Limit Break to do that?
Giving a command by grunting takes effort.
His ki is pumped up with materia and lifestream like everyone else
I always got the impression that nobody used Cid.
Who do you guys think are the 3 least used characters in 7? Could be a fun run.
Personally I always use Cloud, Vincent, Red or Barret
>3 least used characters in 7?
Aerits because she dies
Vincent because of his limits
Cait Sith because Cait Sith
I always used Cid. He was always my favorite character. Outside of him I'd use Cloud/Yuffie/Vincent
Cid's got one of the more powerful limits. My go-to party was always Cloud, Tifa, Cid.
Vincent has a great magic stat and is basically the best healer / support by that margin
>forgot about Barret
Barret has a gatling gun attached to his arm and leads an eco-terrorist group. Also seemed like he and Dyne were to one day be the leader types of their village so he may be quite intelligent too. He doesnt speak like it tho
Dyne was the best part of the game. I wish he became a party member instead.
Dont worry
THe remake will make it happened
Along with Cissnei
Remake will probably cut Dyne out completely.
>Animal designed for combat
What?
Cid was the first man in space, like Neil Armstrong IRL.
Barret will always be the best
>wracked with guilt over talking his council leaders into trusting ShinRa, resulting in their total destruction
>becomes an eco terrorist to find redemption
>meets a spikey haired PTSD mute butthole who gets him wrapped up in some spooky ghost shit involving the end of the world, female Jesus, and a talking dog
>doesn't understand shit but just goes with it
Barret is best
with guilt over talking his council leaders into trusting ShinRa, resulting in their total destruction
I always felt that the incident is a tiny bit overblown, but then again Scarlett seemed like a loose cannon.
't understand shit but just goes with it
He knows that Seph is a Shinra mad dog that needs to be put down to save the planet.
I think it's implied that he and others went to Cosmo Canyon which is how he knows about the Lifesteam and how the reactors are sucking the planet's spiritual energy dry.
>but then again Scarlett seemed like a loose cannon.
She and Heidegger were always comical 2D villains anyway.
a spikey haired PTSD mute butthole
?????
Barret sees a problem that angers him, and he tries to fricking do something. He fricked up and tries to right his wrongs.
How often do you get a character like that in a jrpg, let alone one glorifying an anti corpo ecoterrorist?
The remakes biggest sin is making Avalanches reactor attack actually the work of Shinra because they never intended to kill anyone. Pussy shit
It's also baffling since they need those reactors and gains nothing. The sector plate false flag in contrast allows them to erase AVALANCHE, give them the blame for it, and allows them to renovate by building new ones. It's win-win-win.
The writers got cold feet and tried to fix something that didn't need fix. I mean a great conversation later in the game is where I think it's Cait Sith calls out Barret for the deaths their bombings caused. I didn't get it on first playthrough but you go through the sector normally and then you see it bombed out. That damage is what YOU caused.
It was also a way of trying to George Lucas pottery something Jessie says after the bombing. She didnt expect her bomb to cause that much damage, it was supposed to destroy the reactor, not kill a bunch of people, you are left with the impression she made a mistake from inexperience and blames herself. No one else in Avalanche really seems upset.
Later on the highwind, both Barret and Tifa briefly talk about the death they caused and say something to the effect of "what we did then was our fault and our blame" and I think barret says something like after getting the bigger picture he realizes he wasn't quite fighting in the smartest way possible.
God forbid our characters reflect or grow or ever make mistakes. We can only have shonen anime tier plots of naughty bad guys vs sfm bait good guys who are mad only at the naughy men of evil.
What if you had sex with Yuffie (16 years old)
Congratulations, you just fricked best girl!
Yuff totally looks 14. They bump her age up a bit to avoid verging into outright illegal territory.
Cit was the candidate for the first astronaut program. They go through rigorous training. I'd argue him being strong is better grounded in reality than tiny Tifa actually managing something with her meme martial arts.
by power of being the grittiest chaddest mother fricker on that entire roster
Vincent is more like Dr jeckle Mr Hyde who sleeps in a coffin.
When you look at this, you can't help to realize how bad the art direction is Remake.
