Cid's role in the World of Ruin *SPOILERS*

Sephex · 07:19 AM

Okay. Seriously. Check this **** out. I think that if you let Cid die, the whole scene is much more emotional and well done. The whole suicide attempt was very dramatic, and it mimicked the whole Opera House thingy. That was very cool. I am a sucker for stuff like that.

You want to know how many times I let Cid live? Once. Why? Because it just sucks! It's a pain in the ass to feed him because it takes him forever to get better (at least for me). Also, when you get him to good health he gets up like nothing happened and pretty much whips the stupid raft at Celes' head and is all like, "Go find your friends, BITCH!"

Now, he says something like "bring back your friends to see me someday". Okay, when I first did that, I thought they would put some emotional scene in, or at least some mini scene where Cid is like, "**** Jim, you found your friends! I knew everything was going to be gravy!" But nooooooo, he is all like, "Okay. Hello."

You would think that he would say, "HOLY ****! GET ME OFF THIS ISLAND WHERE I CAN DO NOTHING! I AM NOT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO BUILD ANOTHER RAFT! DAMN, CATCHING FISH ****ING SUCKS!"

Plus, it plays "Forever Rachel" when Celes renews her hope that her friends, as well as Locke, is alive if you let Cid die.

Reading that post is about the only thing that made being able to keep cid alive worth while.

Truth. Saving Cid is highly pointless. I guess it was just another unfinished aspect of the game.

Some people are just meant to die, for emotional and dramatic reasons. However not everyone agrees with this. Hence we have "saving" options, which, as has been demostrated here, aren't the best course of action considering the primary reason why the person has to die: emotional attachment and motivation.
