Day 13!

Apr 22, 2011 17:13

My husband is home from work again, still sick. :( That means my writing productivity gets almost halved, but I'm still hoping to get another set up for the 1Sentence party soon. Fingers crossed!

Day 13 - Your favorite version of Cid.
I was going to say Al-Cid, but then my husband informed me that he doesn't count. >:| (But, seriously, Al-Cid was amazing.)

So let's see... I have a personal grudge against Cid of the Lufaine now (thanks, Duodecim), so... Well, VII Cid was cool and usually one of my main party members. So he's definitely a runner-up. The proper (/grumble) Cid from XII was evil and interesting (and I can never get over his part in this fan-made parody: FFXII in a Nutshell; around :40), but still... Hmm...

My number one spot is a tie between Cid Fabool IX, because he gets turned into an oglop and it's hilarious, and Cid from FFXI. There's a long-winded explanation for this, but here's the short version: click me!

The long-winded version: SE tried to make Cid special in XI. He's really just a storyline NPC in Bastok and some expansions (like Chains of Promathia which introduced Prishe), but they wanted to make him look cool. So they gave him teeth. FRIGHTENING TEETH. Because, to give him teeth, they had to stretch out his mouth. As a result his mouth looks like it wants to eat small children. And while we're on the topic of Cid and children, his pants also glitch so that there's a split down his crotch.

So why is he your favorite? Because it's effin' hilarious. And also a bit of an inside joke (because you take these big "chips" to him and he makes you a liquid from them, but how?! Obviously he eats the chips and liquid is made. My husband and I can look at one another and make faces and go, "omnomnomchips!" and be in stitches...).

Clearly my reasoning is amazing right now.
