Background Story

5★	Cid lost his parents at a young age. For this reason, he wanted to have a family early, and was truly happy when Mid was born. However, that joy soon turned into sorrow... Now, he has once again found himself surrounded by happiness in the form of Mid and Yego.
6★	No matter what, Cid wanted Mid's first words to be "Papa," and so he continued to whisper, "Papa, Papa, it's Papa," night after night into Mid's ear while she slept. However, his plan seems to have backfired, and when Mid tries to call Cid "Papa," for some reason chills run down his spine.
7★	Also a highly skilled craftsman, Cid gave pendants to his daughters that he had made himself. At first they seemed a bit embarrassed to wear matching father-daughter pendants, but he was relieved that they appreciated the present. Incidentally, it seems that the accessories Cid made in the past now fetch a very high price as rare antiques.

Fusion

5★	Now, I only have one reason to get stronger: To protect my friends and family.
6★	I must get stronger... I never want to lose my daughters again.
7★	Children grow up watching their parents, so I can't be a coward in front of Mid and Yego.

Awakening

6★	Mid, Yego, Papa's decided. He's going to become a papa who won't lose to anyone.
7★	The strength that I crave is the strength of a father. That's all. I can't afford to let my daughters down.

Summon

5★	Hm. So it's not only my daughters who are relying on me.
6★	Hm. So it's not only my daughters who are relying on me.
7★	Hm. So it's not only my daughters who are relying on me.

Trivia

• Cid is a recurring name in the Final Fantasy franchise, and it is mostly given to the finest of engineers or important characters, often involved with airships. The name itself is used for playable characters, supporting characters, and antagonists.
• Cid's Limit Burst name pays homage to the two recurring airship names; the Invincible from FFIII and FFIX (same airship name used during FFBE's Season 1), and Highwind from FFVII.
• True to his skill, he shares many similarities with past Dragoon-type characters in the main series, such as those with the surname Highwind.
• CG-Animated Limit Burst Dialogue:
  • "参る." ("Mairu.") ("Onward.") (can also mean "To battle." or "Here I come.")
