He also hosed around on his wife a lot. Say what you will about Cid Kramer, if nothing else the man was a good husband... Who dedicated his life to training an army of teenagers to murder his wife, but only because he loved her so much.

If you think about it, almost all the Cids in the series are assholes in one way or another. I think the only ones who don't do anything dickish are the Cids from 3 and 4.

II Cid pretty much just bites it shortly after you rescue him, and in the process gives you an airship. So he's alright.

He was kind of a mercenary who didn't really care about either side until the plot told him to care. I guess Cid Orlandu was a pretty stand-up guy who didn't do anything dickish either, besides make Meliadoul obsolete before you even got her.

So I'm playing through FFXII for the first time in a number of years, and holy poo poo whoever said that Larsa should have replaced Vaan as a permanent party member was spot on. Kid rocks.

Larsa is great. Not only does he fulfill the "young prettyboy" niche that Vaan was intended to fill, he also could have a great dynamic with Ashe. She used to be a sweet, innocent thing herself but the times forced her to become a rugged rebel and made her hellbent on revenge. Larsa though is still young and innocent like she once was and since he's on the victors' side he has remained more or less ignorant of the horrors of war. Over the course of the game he steadily becomes more world-weary like Ashe, understanding what his Empire is really like. Ashe also understandably hates the Imperials so she and Larsa could have a great antagonistic relationship at first with Larsa protesting he didn't know what his country has really done and Ashe basically just hating him because he's a filthy Imperial. Then over the course of the game she realizes not all Imps are bad people and he, as I said before, comes to accept what his own nation has done and vows to change it once he's in command. gently caress Vaan. You really don't need him. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Aug 17, 2014 |

I'm sorry, you can all argue about the worst Cid, but I am an optimist, and so will go with the best Cid. The best Cid is THUNDER GOD CID, A MAN SO BADASS THAT HE GOT THE NAME THUNDER GOD CID.

I honestly don't really remember him aside from you go to his city at some point in the game, there's a scene where he grins slyly in a profile shot, and then ???.

Actually, you never go to his city; you just meet up with him a few times. Plotwise, he works behind the scenes to stop the other Big Empire, Rozaria, from rushing into war with Archadia. As a character, though, he's a ridiculous dandy Casanova-wannabe. He has women who follow him around whose job appears to be to hold his sunglasses or hand him notes. He flirts shamelessly with Ashe while even kids like Larsa roll their eyes.

My only gripe with Al-Cid is when he offhandedly remarks that Larsa's father was murdered. Larsa: Surely my father could stop this war! Al-Cid to a twelve-year-old boy: YOUR DAD'S DEAD! DEAD!!!! Okay maybe I'm exaggerating but it really does equal the same thing, no matter how kindly you put it. Just saying in a casual way "his life was taken" is not any better when you're informing a little kid their dad was murdered. And then when you have control of the party again you can talk to him and get a textbox of him saying "oh...I kinda done hosed up there."

Thunder God Cid is definitely the best good Cid. Type-0 Cid is the best evil Cid though. He's a Prussian-wannabe with an ornamental sword who gives captivating speeches while invading other nations.
