My, My Cid, How You Have Changed

While each Final Fantasy tends to be set in a different world, there are a few staples you can expect in each one — most prominently, a character named Cid. And the newest game in the franchise, Final Fantasy Explorers, is no exception.

Over the years Cid has gone through some changes since his first appearance back in Final Fantasy II. Cid has been old and young, hero and villain, and even male and female. Here’s a collection of Cid character designs from the main series so you can see for yourself.

Sometimes the Cids above have made appearances in other games ranging from their various numbered game sequels to crossover games like Kingdom Hearts and Theatrhythm. But for all those pictures, I suggest you check out each individual Cid’s page over at the Final Fantasy Wiki.

Oh, and if you liked seeing the evolution of Cid over the years, check out the evolution of the cast of the Zelda series.
