I second that

Yeah, but 'More Romantic Than VIII' isn't a good tagline :P.

More romantic then a bucket of fried turkey and a stack of porn magazines?

Same as me. He was by far the most bad-ass cid.
Plus he had goggles on his head with a box of cigarrets stuck in the side :D

He lit sticks of dynamite with his cigarette!That is just way bad ass!

It's official: FF VII Cid = teh awesomest Cid of all

I also think it's one of the only FFs where Cid isn't an airship mechanic, instead he works on on a rocket, a rocket for gods sake!That's like...a rocket!...yeah...I don't really have anything awsome to say about rockets except the obvious.

Otherwise there would have never been a fleet of airshps(all designed by Cid himself), no assault on Midgar in Dirge of Cerberus, the WRO would be severely lacking in military might, and Cid would be out of a job since airships seem to be all he does after VII ends.

It's been years since I played the game, cut me some slack man >.< but you don't meet him as an airship mechanic like in most FFs, even in the IX where he got turned into a frog loke greature called oglop by his pissed off wife...it sounds so strange when you think of it.

Bah...I should play FF VII again, my knowledge of the story has really decreased dramatically in the years...

Alot of shit about Cid Highwind

Nice sum up there Xtesh, thats pretty much Cid in a nutshell. But the woman he lived with was called Shera in the European version, not Sierra. Later in AC he named his new air ship Sierra. And did he marry her? I don´t recall that, but it´s pretty possible.

After that, it's anyone's call until the next game/movie/OVA/book.

Well, maybe he´ll make some mini Cids that will be cursing as soon as they can speak and smoking at the age of 9 XD.
Its about time he did have a baby - he´s getting old.

I thought there'd be a save point on the original one. Just not on the DS version. The fact that you cannot save anywhere other than on the world map is stupid. Going through a dungeon and dying against a boss is the worst part about it.

Ultima-disk 3- go to the most southwestern part of the map by airship till you see a landing point, hes in there with Bahumat.

SPELL BAHAMUT CORRECTLY!

Lol, you must have had your color or contrast settings messed up cos i always saw him as blonde.

And ok Sierra/ Shera is just like the Aerith/Aeris case. Damn translations and stuff!

Pretty sure that took the longest for me, yeah.

And having to replenish my power/mana/speed spheres is very fucking annoying.

That's not too bad all-in-all though. Three battles with Fafnir or Kottos and you've got 99 (Assuming you Overkill)

Can you max everything bar MP?

You cna max everything and either HP or MP. The choice is yours.

Dr. Cid was definately my favorite. Evil Cid, plus he's stark-right crazy, and speaks to Gods. Rock.

-By the way, Mendou is right. Cid is the shit and will always be the shit. He is one of my favorite character to use. :D

The Don Tonberry trick is good :(. I wish I'd implimented it earlier in my stat maxing quest. I would've been done by now.

However, only Lulu and Kimahri left :). Then I can start on Luck (I've left it till last - and I'm not bothering with HP at the moment, I feel the game will be more challenging with only 9,999).

Spira, by far. All bow before the Spiral Of Death, the tragic beauty of Zanarkand, and know that the Farplane awaits no man, Al Bhed, Ronso, Guado, or Aeon.
Praise be to Yevon.

Gaia, of both FFVIII and FFIX, are close seconds.

It was classic.

The more I think about FFXII, the more I love the underlying lessons, values, and story within the base war of Archadia vs. Rozzaria.

See? You are moving fast. I doubt the game will be too difficult anyway. WHat do you have left to do in the game, anyway?

And do you plan to max Aeon stats as well?

I know I need to level if I want to have a chance against Dr. Cid and Venat, but I'm low on items and I'm too lazy to run through the whole area for the third time.

Wait, what are you asking?
Just train before fighting the two bosses at the top of the Pharos, I guess. If I recall, there are many a returning monsters on one level, and they aren't THAT hard.

I got to the end of FFXII last night and I thought the ending was quite disappointing. At least the boss fights were good on the last place.

I always thought it See-Sil, as opposed to Seh-Cil.

What is the level you are usually at when you beat a SE game(this includes the games made before they merged)?
I'm usually in my mid 50's, except for FF1, which I'm at level 89 with everyone.

Roughly the 70s and 80s, the only exception being FFXII, where I was roughly mid-50s to 60s. The main game of FFXII is soooo easy. It's starts off a bit tricky with Firemane, and those Demonwall optionals, but all-in-all, there are simple fights throughout.

Just to let people who are curious, I was being sarcastic about not pronouce cloud correctly.......sorry if it sounded serious.

I am still waiting for Dissidia......uggh....

Dunno... a lot I suppose.
But once I've finished the stats I'm going to defeat the monster arena and the dark aeons, then finish the game.
I'm not continuing with anything else after that. But I'm gonna to make a save to come back to at a later date. I'm sick of stat maxing at the moment :P.

He-he-help! Flame war...Final Fantasy 10... we need... assistance...

There's just nothing interesting to do after beating the main game and the side bosses.

I think the one i maxed my stats up the most in was probably FF7, or FF Tactics, then after maybe FF10 follwed by FF8 probably, then FF9. But i don´t think i´ve ever got everyones stats all maxed out....thats a bit too much.

can i join as my favorite cloud or sepheroth

I read a book recently. Well i read 2 of a trilogy. I´m still to read the 3rd part. It was amazing.....really great fantasy stuff. And the whole time i was reading it i couldn´t help but think ´this would make a sweet FF type game´. It doesn´t have alot of similarities, but it would make a great RPG.
Book is - The lionwolf triliogy by Tanith Lee. (part 1 - Cast a bright Shadow. Part 2 - Here in cold hell. Dunno number 3s name yet)

It won't change the way I pronounce Bahamut just like how the way they pronounced Tidus didn't change my pronunciation of his name.

I havn´t read any other books, so i can´t say any that remind me of FF. I´m not a bg reader.
As for narnia and LoTR - i´ve only seen the movies, not the books.

And i agree. Cecil is a bit of a girly name. It´s not macho enough for a main character. And i´ve always pronounced it Seh-Sil. Whoever says See-Sil is just wierd. o_o

As for Bahamut, to me it´s always been Ba-Hu-Mut, not Moot. Like you all say, fuck the moot. To me it will alwasy be mut.
They always dissapoint me when it comes to pronounciations on wierd names. E.G Yuffie, bahamut, Ivalice etc...
I always said Ivalice like Eye-va-lice, but in FF12, they pronounce it Ee-va-leece, fuck that, it´s Eyevalice to me, and has been since FFT in ´97.

Its a snobby upperclass name.

I pronounce it Ceh-cil.
I like it, I think its an ace name :D.

I pronouce Bahamut, Bay-a-mutt.
