I singled out Highwind in this regard because it's actually one of my favorite bits in FF7: Barret, after a moment's introspection, realizes that he doesn't have what it takes to be a leader, and dumps the responsibility on Cid (who's off in the corner napping), simply because they couldn't get anywhere without the Highwind, and the Highwind belongs to Cid. What really made the scene was how quickly Cid became gung-ho over his newfound responsibility, an attitude he carries onward through his missions as party leader (or at least the Corel Reactor train chase, my memory's foggy on the rest) before Cloud and Tifa return to the party.

masterpug53 12/23/20 9:46:23 AM #37:	Tyranthraxus posted... How the fuck is Cid Highwind leading here? Did people play games besides FF7? Sometimes the popular choice is that way for good reason. Orlandu / Orlandeau / however you're supposed to spell it nowadays is an unquestioned boss in battle, but not a supremely compelling character in his own right (he's a good-enough character who fits a role, there's just not much there to make him stand out in this regard). Nobody remembers Thundergod Cid for his witty lines or deep character arc; they remember him for essentially being a no-strings-attached god-mode character. Cid Kramer has a good amount of potential as a character, but iirc he never really gets over the hurdle of being a major pussy. Doctor Cidolfus Demen Bunansa is a hammy overractor, and not in a good way. Bananaman Cid does potentially lead to one of the most poignant moments in the franchise, and I have every reason to be biased towards FF6. But ~~dying of starvation~~ isn't really a personality trait. FF4 Cid is alright as far as old-school characters go, but falls into the trap of ~~I'mma sacrifice my body to save this situation~~ about two or three instances after that maneuver stopped being fashionable. Cid Fabool and Al-Bhed Cid could give Highwind a run for his money character-wise, but aren't party members; this may be a semantical difference at face-value, but party members by default tend to get more screentime and more time to develop, as is the case with Highwind. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:948671538] in Who is the...
