It was pretty one sided but there was def a push for the chick from Bozja to have the hots for Cid.

I can accept liking the story of nier 1 better than nier 2. But it seems tough to call it a better game considering the whole cavia vs platinum aspect, unless you're truly a giant poster

It’s not a dichotomy of nier 1 Vs automata, and I never framed it that way since it would be disingenuous having not played nier 1. But also the game platinum made in n:a is bad, independent of this

ff14 cid is fine but the random bits where matsuno tried to give him a 20 year old girlfriend were weird

tbf isn't FF14 Cid actually very young, like a teen genius? He just looks like an old man because of the beard and anime white hair.

To be fair FF6 Cid is the only Cid who doesn't gently caress.

To be fair I say it partly because I think ff14 cid got done pretty dirty in endwalker. It's been a while since I watched the relevant cuscene but at least to my memory alphinaud calls up a shitload of people to come work on the ragnarok but not cid, he ends up having to just awkwardly invite himself

I'm not like other posters
FFXIV Cid is and always has been kinda lame. It’s not the worst but the writers seem to kinda take it as a given that you think he’s the coolest?

He’s just not very interesting.

People dislike him for varied reasons but personally I never recovered from the goggles scene cringing me into a blackhole.

Cids are usually cool by default. You have to actively work to make them uncool, like FF6 and FF8.

i don't know about that given that all i remember him doing for the past 3 expansions is bickering with his old college roommate about nerd poo poo

From what I understand FF14 Cid is a regular poster in this thread, possibly even another Endorph alt.

FF16 Cid is an extremely good Cid, probably my favorite. Every scene he's in feels more alive and fun just because he's in it

yoko taro has neat ideas but he isnt the guy doing the actual heavy lifting on the writing for nier/drakengard/automata and its weird people keep pretending he is. its like giving yoshi-p writing credit for ff14 instead of ishikawa, maehiro, and oda (and all the other secondary writers ofc)

I've seen people do exactly that and it's dumb as hell

I'm weird because I have a soft spot for evil Cids, I like Doctor Cidolfus Demen Bunansa and Generalissimo Cid (from Type-0). I thought they were very good villains.


Though narratively 6 and 8 and 14 Cid are better

Doctor Cid from FF12 is a top tier Cid. He just hams it up so much and steals every scene he's in, he's great

The Bozja story is some of the worst and most boring poo poo in the game. I would rather do ARR pre-quest culling than have to do the Bozja story again.

Weren't enough people in the instance for me to finish up the first Bozja zone so I could do the next part of the story :(
I would actually like to finish Bozja sometime.

I will never do Eureka. I do every other part of FF14 reasonably completeable by a casual player that doesn't expect me to actually learn a fight (read: I will never do an Extreme/Savage/Minstrel's Ballad/ Ultimate), I've done all the beast tribes, all the optional dungeons, all the rolequests.

I will never do Eureka.

The only bit of Eureka/Bozja content I haven't done yet is Delubrum Savage, heard it's fun but CBF to get into an organised group. Eureka and Baldesion Arsenal in particular are very cool though.
