Cid has to have one of the best themes I've ever heard. Powerful and Enterprising, just like he is.
i always loved and still do the cosmo canyon theme
Justin Ace I love the forgotten city theme and the world map theme after meteor has been summoned.
NorthernDragon Do he ever played ff8?
he played as an NPC in FF VIII
"Powerful and enterprising". Really well put!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
In the original FF7, I've always seen Cid as a man in his late 40's. Somebody who had past it before joining Cloud.
Yes, I also thought he was a lot older than he actually is.
Stress has that effect on people...
Yeah I could have sworn the PAL booklet said his age was 40-something
Still can't believe the bloke is only 32.
I renamed him HAWKE. Didn't like Cid.
You know you're getting old when you have the same age as him....I always thought of him as this cranky old man.
Cid is the Cranky Kong of FF7.
Lol me to dude
@@davidgeorge3944 *too
Cranky sure, but I always saw him as Super Jaded and using the attitude to surround/protect a heart of gold that finally breaks through again after he achieves his dream that was formally stolen and denied to him.
Personally, I liked Cid because he reminded me and looks like a younger version of my grandfather. Only thing missing is a strong Alabama accent and can of Coolers in his hand.
I always had him in my crew along with Red 13.
Hey me too :)
Cloud (Magic/Phsyical), Red XIII (Magic/Healer) and Cid (Physical).
Based that was my party too
Living down here in south US, particularly Texas, almost every man older than 35 is like Cid lol
Like 👍
Cid highwind I want to borrow the tiny bronco
@@sheriffofrockridge9095 "are you out of your fucking mind??!!?"
@Sam Willett غارفيلد لك بيبوم
@@sheriffofrockridge9095 up yours Ni-
I rather sit down and drink your goddamn tea respect
He's the oldest 32 year old I've ever seen.
stress does that
He's got some city miles
Honestly, they might say he's 32, but there is no way in the game that Cid isn't at least 50.
Yup I was 13 when I played this game! Now I can relate to Cid!!!😂
Being 32 myself, he is extremely relatable.
"He jumps onto the Tiny Bronco with some kind of superhero jump"
He's a Dragoon(the FF Class whose main trait is jumping) in a universe where people can jump up the side of skyscrapers.
Beat me to it but glad to see another dragoon fan here. What goes up must come down! (sooner or later)
He's 32 in FFVII!? Man he looks and sounded old!
Probably due to his chain smoking and too much rage because of Shin-ra.
Jesse Marquez Yeah I always pictured him around 42, late 30's at a minimum.
Definitely not 32, lol.
Also stress.
I’ve always added around ten years to the stated age of any FF character to line them up with their life experiences. Aeris and Yuffie are rare exceptions who legit seem to be the age they’re stated to be.
Stress makes you age way faster
@@BigDaddyZakk420 I'm 57 and I look much younger than Cid. He looks more into late 60 to 70 years of age.
Cid is always on my FF team. I love it when he throws dynamite at people, that never gets old.
The reason he jumped so high because he learned the way of the dragoon. Dragoon Jump.
:
"Sit your a** down and drink your godd@mn tea!"
"Yeah, I understand that Materia is precious,
and I also understand what you're thinking. But listen. I don't give a
rat's ass whether it's science or magical power. No, I guess if I had to
choose, I'd rather put my money on the power of science. Humans who
used to only roam around the ground are able to fly now! And.. Finally,
we're about to go into outer space. Science is "Power", created and
developed by humans. And science just might be what saves this planet. I
was able to earn my living thanks to science. So to me, there's nothing
greater! Now quit your worrying 'bout what Shinra's gonna do! I don't
want to regret not having done something later.." - Cid
Martin Down yea cids themes give the game a worldly feel. Uplifting. Like the world is rooting for a rag tag bunch of rebels out to do good. It pocks the feel and pace up towards the end.... i think
These in depth character vids are proof that good characters and writing needs to be just as important as gameplay and even more so than graphics. A lot of movies and games nowadays put all their eggs in visuals and are incapable of creating something that people will care about in 5 years, let alone 20
Cid's Theme was one of Uematsu-san's best tracks. That snappy military march drum beat makes you wanna salute.
I wanna say Soldier but I can't because that's Shinra.
"Most likely because of the younger demographic of the series" Meanwhile I had FF7 the year it came out...I was 8 lol.
Try 14 then ur old
I was 13! 😄 great memories every time I play this game!
I was 13 but played after x
I still have pretty strong memories of watching advent children with my cousin. He got so freaking hyped when Cid showed up. He always had Cid and Vincent in his team.
*IN-DEPTH REQUEST = RENO & RUDE OF THE TURKS!!*
Disss
It still cracks me up watching Cid running after the Tiny Bronco and keeping up with it on foot.
A good pilot is always ahead of their machine… cid appears to not be an exception 🤣
The character cast was what made FF7, i really wish more game developpers understood that. I mean there's a reason you could hardly do any of these in depth character videos with any other games in the franchise (save for maybe FF6 and FF9).
Or 4/5. Aside from the whole "everything is able for everyone"
Bullshit
Its because ff7 is the most popular
I like the ffx world and characters more than ff7 but people are fanboys of ff7
@@delgande I mean, best FF is FF VI, but yeah X has a great cast. i'm playing VII for the first time and I feel characters like Red XIII or the optional characters are a bit underutilized, same goes for Cid. But honestly I have really enjoyed the characters quite a bit, that's one thing I love about Final Fantasy I love almost all party members in almost all games. (Well, the four that I've played)
FF10 ? Hmm
This brought tears to my eyes
Cid is the man. When he became main party leader, I preferred it that way -- especially that run.
Plus THE MAN LIGHTS A STICK OF DYNAMITE WITH HIS SMOKE!
Exactly! How often in these games do you get to use honest to god dame dynamite as a weapon!!?!
This video reminds me - Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.
Very much so...
I always imagine Cid having a MUCH different voice. Much lower and gruff. Old man like.
Anyhow, great video. Thank you.
I always expected Sephiroth to have a more deep sinister voice, but in Kingdom Hearts 2 is sounds kind of camp.
Same, but still country, so I wasn't too surprised.
I always imaged cid sounded like Boomhauer from King of the Hill
Nothing about Japan is gruff and man like.
I imagined him to sound like the rich Texan in The Simpsons.
Cid, along Red XIII, is easily one of my favorite Final Fantasy characters. In fact, my Battle.Tag and many other nicks in games is often "Cid" as a homage to this Cid and FFT's Cid(olfus).
I really really hope they don't get rid of his chain-smoking habits in the remake just because of stupid censorship.
“WHAT are you doing??” “WOMAN! GET THE MOTHERF****** TEA!” XD
Cid's easily among my favorite characters in the whole franchise.
I'm really glad that he got to be the party leader for a bit.
Love that FMV where the cigarette falls from his mouth.
Michael Rooker should voice Cid Highwind. Imagine Yondu screaming about goddamn TEA!
Alex George All the sudden I got this image in my head of CID yelling, “I’m Mary Poppins Y’all!!”
0:12 I used to have that same entertainment center in my home when I was little! Awesome cabinet. I just noticed it lol
An in depth look into Rufus Shinra? (or the Shinra family if there isn't enough about Rufus specifically)
I finally heard the entirety of the On the way to a smile series... Brilliant.
I love how the headphones are on the spear
Also. I would like to mention that Cids theme is like the ff7 anthem. I think so anyway.
Travis Davidson yup it’s go time when his theme is playing
"Cid jumps onboard mid flight with some kind of crazy superhero jump"
Umm... he's a dragoon... and you question his jumping ability? How dare you sir!
I like how the character themes change meaning as the game goes on.
I'd love if you did an in-depth look at Reno. Or all The Turks in general?
I agree !!
YES!!!
Yes please!!
5:02
Dude, we know he's got jumps. =D
He is the team's Lancer/Dragoon after all.
While on that point though, I always thought it was a huge missed opportunity that there isn't a Jump Command Materia. Jump is such an interesting, Strategic and distinct trademark of the series; e.g. Kain and Freeya. It's a shame it didn't make an appearance in VII outside of Cid's limits, which don't have the effect of removing him from battle for a few turns before striking.
While we're at it, the Dark Knight trademark, Darkness/Darkside, would've been a fairly sick Materia as well.
I agree, I love the jump command and always thought it would be cool, but I guess it just didn't fit well with this game. FFIV and FFIX were both mystical lands, full of mystical creatures and different species, but FFVII caries a more realistic tone. Other than Red XIII, there's no dragon people or other species walking around intermingling with human culture. We are meant to believe that this planet is Earth, and the struggles the characters face are real struggles that we may face one day. Of course, there's also aliens and monsters all over, but I guess we had to fight something right?
jump in other games wasn't something I'd often use because it was unpredictable within the context of an ATB bar. Having things fill up at different rates, you could have a dragoon drop at the wrong time, or jump up (and away from damage) at the wrong time. It was a little more useful in FF tactics, but then, in tactics, calculators kinda ruled all.. :P
thinking back to it, when jumping did work, it didn't do so in a way that gave significantly more damage than the other characters, so really its biggest advantage was to keep at least one character off screen during times of REALLY heavy damage or insta-kill attacks, and even then, you might be better off avoiding such situations with other means, as if you need to rely on an off screen character to save you you might be either a little too underpowered before you face such an enemy, or after you might be in a situation with a bit too much handicap (like fighting ruby weapon with 1 character)
@Wolfshadow Morningstar Not really. It's just a nod from the creators to the legacy of dragoons before him, namely Kain and Ricard.
"Jump" is basically his limit, a couple of them. So he has it, it's just called something else.
I want the new Final Fantasy 7 to come out because I honestly think it could make you huge. If end up knowing half as much about the remake as you do the original, you'll be the go-to channel for everything FF7. And that sounds like an awesome thing to me.
When you said finally , all I could think was: "Thank god , finally!"
Glad to see your sense of humor though, very nice.
For me, it was also a "finally" moment, since this video as well as my last few videos were constantly delayed due to things out of my control (and a few things in my control, to be fair). I'm glad somebody caught that little tidbit ;)
4-8Productions These are the best researched videos on FFVII on youtube. Take your sweet time man, we're patient.
@@4-8Productions Don't you mean "That little CIDbit?".....😀🙃
I always take Cid and Yuffie in my party their the most extrovert personalities in the group and bring different styles of humor. Their interaction is one of the things i'm looking forward to most in remake Yuffie's ribbing will drive Cid crazy but he's got a big heart and will likely play along after a while with all the crap she's been through.
My favorite channel hands down bub!!!!
but cid's entire arc is about coming to terms with the fact that he didn't lose his dream because of someone else's stupid mistake, but his own. which, personally, i find even more relatable. the growth he goes through and where he ends up is why he's one of my favorite characters.
The Dragoons Point of View?
Typically, the ground.
Man, great video. I'm constantly reminded how every song on FF 7 is fucking amazing.
Love it! Cid has to have one of my favourite character themes behind Aerith/Aeris
Funniest line in FF7 is Cid "Sit your ass in that chair and drink your gotdamn TEA!!! Or ain't my hospitality good enough for you??" Hahahaha. What a gem
I always found Cloud to relatable. I think everyone at some point in his/her life lies to create a false past or origin. Even if the lie is just to themselves and is never spoken of.
Krag Kerr definitely affected me as a young kid
His/Her refers to the “everyone” in the post
Cid has the best theme ever, love it!
I, too, found a spear to be an odd choice of weapon first but then I thought;
Cid isn't really a fighter, he's an engineer and scientist.
Spears are a relatively easy and "user friendly" weapon to use thanks to their range (at least to my knowledge).
Maybe he just picked it up on a whim, who knows? But that's my guess. That he doesn't really have any training or experience with weapons so he chose a spear.
Also a weapon made for reachig high and far places.
It’s a reference to The Dragoon Class which is also referenced in his name Highwind which goes back to the earliest game in the franchise if I remember correctly.
cant for when Cloud and the party meets him in the remake
in germany we have a bad translatet version of FF7.
thank you, for this detailed review about the charakters ;)
Ah yes Cid. Always a mainstay in my party. It's going to be tough with remake since so far they are all really fun to play.
"Launching A Dream Into Space" is one of my favourites off the soundtrack along with "Great Warrior"
OMG these videos are how i found your channel omg! i love the intro to this! Cid is one of my favorite FF7 characters! keep up the great work!
He's the sole FF character that actually acts like a real person. Minus the jumping 50 feet in the air.
"As Cid and the gang defeat Ultima weapon."
(Graphic on screen shows Cid is dead fighting against Ultima weapon)
Seriously, Cids theme has to be the best in the FF-VII.
Anxious heart*
your in depth char videos are extremely well done. thank you sir!
I love all the FFVII characters all their stories and background is fleshed out in just one game. Even Caith Sith, Reeve the puppet master had a great impact in the game as well.
Hit me right in the feels 😢
I'd love it if you continued these videos, just found em and they're great
such an epic character.. cant wait for him to get portrayed in FFVIIR
Yet another masterpiece! Well done my friend, we'll done!
Michael Rooker should do Cid's voice in the remake!
A million times yes!!!!
When I played FF7 in the past Cid was my least favorite. I didn't know english very well and the only characteristic that I picked up was that he was yelling all the time, and blaming Shera.
Thats all i picked up even with English as my first language lol
Love the video Death! Keep up the amazing work :)
Cid in 2019: here’s ✍️ the god damn✍️✍️ tea✍️
I'd say Cloud is very relatable to war veterans since he shows clear signs of PTSD due to him being a botched Jenova experiment, seeing his lover and best friend killed while being helpless to stop them and being exposed to multiple violent conflicts and killing multiple Shinra soldiers. Not to mention the bloody trail and mutilated bodies he's seen of the slain Shinra soldiers by Sephiroth himself.
He definitely has the best theme, though it's close between him and Yuffie.
Cid's Theme, and its variations, will always be my favorite of all the character music. Aeris' is sheer perfection; no contest. But of all the others, Cid's needs a goddamn award!
Ill drink some goddame tea to that!
some sort of crazy super hero jump? hes a dragoon. jumping is what he does.
i mean in AC we see all the members jump pretty high as well so. maybe they all wear air jordans idk.
To be fair in AC their level 99 jrpg characters. IV always assumed at that point your basically a demigod
Vinny Vinesauce's Rick impersonation will always be my headcanon Cid voice. "It's gonna take her 100 years!"
That four legged native inspire character was completely relatable.
In ff15 i keep the Regalia radio set to "The Highwind Takes to the Skies" on repeat.
I’ve always loved Cid’s 1980s All-American vibe. “Born in the USA” Bruce Springsteen style.
one of my favorite characters... my team was usually cloud, cid and vincent :) and cid has the best theme song of the game, specially the sad slow version... I've aways loved it!
My team too,
Eduardo Bertazzo Same for me :D
My team was definitely Cloud, Cid, Vincent my first playthrough.
Eduardo Bertazzo my team was Cloud, Tifa and Cid
My go to end game team. Even with fighting against Emerald and Ruby.
Cid's my fav, hopefully the remakes continue through his appearance
Oh Jesus. I was at primary school the first time I played FF7 and now I'm one year older than Cid in the original game. Where does time go?
Awesome video as always, Cid is one of my favorite characters in FF7.
I like the Jenn voice cameo in the intro lol
That feeling when he was the old man when you first played FF7 and now your older than that "old man" playing FF7 Remake. Sign.
Cid is so southern, you know that tea must be iced tea.
I was playing this game for the first time recently and was wondering for awhile why people liked this guy. He was a total dipshit for a good stretch of time. I was really happy when that part with the exploding oxygen tank happened and he realized how awful he had been (particularly to Shera), and was ready to sacrifice himself to save the others. Pretty good character growth. Also pretty touching to learn that he named his next airship after Shera.
My team was always Cloud, Barret and Cid. We didn't know any better at the time so we used the name changing feature to place our own names into the character. My old brother was Cloud, my cousin (who isn't black, but is the physically biggest of all of us) was Barret and I was fortunate enough to be Cid. Through the pamphlet that followed the game we knew that we would be getting Cid at some point, but had no idea when.
I find myself to have many similarities with Cid too. I am the most uncouth of everyone I know. Except I only talk that way when I know the people I am around. Tea has been my favourite beverage since time immemorial. I am a Mechanical Engineer (though obviously I wasn't at the time of first playing). I like to think I am kind hearted, but I am not exactly a bleeding heart, preferring to help through action rather than having people spill their beans on me and make times sad (and extremly awkward for me). I have a dream of space exploration, though know it's likely way after my time. I love the idea of piloting my own ship.. but then again who wouldn't? I am a wee bit too easy to provoke, though I don't think I'd be on Cid's level as he takes no shit from anyone at all, regardless of the circumstance.
All in all, Cid is the most relatable character for me in gaming history. He's crucial to any game playthrough, crucial to the story, crucial to have in the party.
12:39 Makes me think this is what they will go with in part 3 of the remake
Not really fond of Cid's VA. Wish he sounded more raspy and deeper voiced
Great video, I was hoping you'd do Cid. My vote for who's next would either be Barret, or the man himself, Cloud Strife.
Hey I really enjoy your content. Hope you get more and more subs as you go on. Keep it up!
For me Yuffie is the most relatable character because all she cares about is getting all the materia
You do realise that he actually married Shera. He spent a great deal of time between FFVII and Advent Children trying to find a cure for her Geostigma which she got on the back of her hand. Following Advent Children they were married, probably when Cid realised how close he came to losing her, as by Dirge of Cerberus they are husband and wife.
Me as a kid: wow he is an old man, 32!
Me as an adult: wow he is a young man, 32!
a spear kind of makes sense, it requires less skill than most other melee weapons, it has reach allowing the character to keep enemies at a distance, and there are already two gun wielding characters, oh, and they still wanted to have a dragoon like character in the game. its possible that in early dev they planned him to be more of a dragoon type but as dev continued priorities changed.
Yea buddy! My mains: Cloud, Barrett and Cid! ..then yuffie and tifa. (Vincent is overrated with terrible limit breaks and lame weapons.. and he’s just kinda boring).
"hold on to your drawers and don't piss in em"
Is anyone else hoping that his goofy run comes back in the Remake?
id be down to watch any more of these 4-8 in depth videos about any game
I thought Cid was the best because he is Cid... the man that transcends worlds and realities, the true foil to Garland, who keeps us from all being knocked down?!?!
Lol and Cid in Advent Children just so happens to look EXACTLY like my friend Robbie. Heckuva coincidence.
I can’t fucking wait to play as Cid on the Remake. Just thinking of his chatter during combat is getting me hyped.
"he chooses a toothpick instead of smoking a cigarette, most likely because of the younger demographic" Nah japan doesn't care. Reason being its under the Disney license. Disneyland banned smoking outright a long time ago and more recently banned it from all parks. They have even gone as far as airbrushing and photoshopping out walt himself from holding cigarettes in all old pictures. Which lead to the whole two finger point used by workers (The claim is its considered non-offensive to other cultures, but reality was it was just to cover up the fact that walt was always holding a smoke)
Playin' Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 now ...I just love that game, the music, the mood. I hope the remake will be great.
