Cid is a tough talking, warm-hearted old pilot who hasn't forgotten his dreams: He believes someday he'll complete his aborted mission, flying to the ends of the universe as the first man in space. There's no better pilot who ever flew either on air or by sea. With his hand-made spear and knowledge of machinery, he's a courageous fighter who knows no fear.

A skillful fighter, Cid's effectiveness depends on how he is equipped. Instead of healing or changing status, his Limit Breaks deliver direct damage, which is helpful when dealing with opponents in groups.
