You can see by Reddas's action that the incident in Nabudis is something that he could never forget neither forgive himself, so he destroyied the source of the nethicite with his life. Now he can rest in peace and know that he did a good thing at the end.
I think they're just really, REALLY close friends. You know how best friends can be so close that they pretend to flirt with each other? I think it's a similar case...maybe.
Cid is the embodiment of the industrial revolution. Venat shows him how to manufacture nethecite, and with that knowledge he is able to call on summons. He can also use the stones as a power source to produce warships, guns, and armored vehicles. The Occuria think this is heresy since only they should have the knowledge to do these things. By helping Cid and the Empire produce these items, Venat at the very least gives a fraction of the human world some level of independence from the Occuria.
@Lordofthenipplerings I quite like this analysis. It made me think that he was more of a Prometheus figure, perhaps? Being handed the "fire" of nethicite that was never to be granted to man...the "rose of knowledge" as one of the Occuria called it, I believe. But the industrial revolution comparison works better I believe...what with the negative aspects of it as well that Cid characters may incorporate.
@clarice161 Baaasssicaallly, cid's got these "orbs" which contain ALOT of power, so he uses it to summon this monster called an esper to take on the group. Then you beat it and you gotta go against cid himself. When he dies, the sun cryst thing was already reacting to the orbs cid was using and it was gonna blow up because it was releasing lots of mist (which makes fran go all weird). I doubt i helped but yeah :)
@SigmaRidley You confuse homosexuality with regalement. True he's flamboyant and a bit mad, but that doesn't make him gay. He's just playing his part whole-heatedly.
I don`t why, but this reminds of Code Geass. Not the game, just how the story goes. They find some awesome power, they destroy it. Then deal with politics next.
Some say that Vaan is a useless character to the story, but i think without him the group wouldnt have met. Vaan sneaked into the palace->met fran and balthier->because of vaan's nethicite the trio crashes into the waterways where they met ashe->which is why they were put in jail and then the group met basch->and if it werent for penelo went missing (which is because penelo's associated with Vaan who were with Balthier) they wouldnt have met the future emperor of Archadia (Larsa)....
Cid's death is utterly tearjerking. Balthier's animation on this bit is so beautifully nuanced, with the way his face just widens and saddens... It really humanizes him. And Gideon Emery does such a fabulous job with Balthier's lines. "Was there no other way?" always makes me tear up. This is far and away the best cutscene in the game, IMHO.
Aaaaaahhh. Cid and Reddas' deaths made (and make) me cry a lot. How sad is Balthier story, he lost his father (by his own hands, or something like that!!) and he didn't have time to convince him that he was in the wrong way in the lastes years of his life, spent searching for power that can't be in the Man hands and not create disasters and pain.
Hojo was pretty fucked up. He made clones of Sephiroth and was in love with Jenova....a space alien. I think Hojo and Dr. Cid would be good buddies. ^^
You gotta admire Cid's voice actor. He defintely plays the part incredibly well and, imo, puts Cid as one of the top FF villians of all time, if not the best (and the most complex).
Cid is my second favorite final fantasy villain behind kefka of course. I was sad to have to kill him... Oh and I got balthier to kill him with a gungnir and it did a whopping 273 damage!!!
Balthier: You made your nethicite for this. You mimic the Occuria's stone for what? To become a God yourself? Cid: On whose shoulders better to stand then those of the would-be Gods! Such high hopes I once had...but you ran, and ran they with you! Alas, the hour of your return is too late! Come, Framran! Revel in the glory of my triumph! Even the so called "FF12" haters can't hate on this cutscene.
One question: If you could see that explosion from Jahara, how the HELL was the Strahl able to escape?! I mean, Vaan was right next to Reddas when he cut the bloody stone!
are you sure they could see the explosion? maybe the elder just felt the sudden energy released from the sun-cryst, and the light you see could have come from his own fire. you do have a point though, i think they just jumped out of the pharos, and balthier used some sort of remote to call the strahl. and then there's gabranth...
in my opinion ffamean counts as his "real" name, because he had it during his time in the empire, so since his birth....and than changed the name to begin a new chapter......
No, he deliberately changed his name to distance himself from Basch. Gabranth was their mother's surname, and he took it on as his name after she died because he was furious at his brother for what he saw as Basch's abandonment of their family.
oh my holey goodness ... this cid is totaly psychic ... but i kinda like him ... this scene reminds me off a good theater scene or something its quite cool ^^ this is cid is sympathic ins his role here but i dont like him in the mainly way ... i liked the traditional cid from the other FF's xD
"I Judge Magister, Condemn you to OBLIVION!" *BOOM!*
Classic, dramatic line.
Fantastic scene, this game has it's own flavour that's completely different to the other FF's and if hard to directly compare. But whatever way you cut it, it's an amazing game and well worth my money :)
cid's speech is the greatest one i've heard in any game til now, but i still don't get why vaan wants to destroy the sun-cryst with the treaty-blade...
By striking the Sun-Cryst with either blade reduces the power to where it will not burst. Either the Treaty Blade fragments its power by making new stones out of the Sun-Cryst, or the Sword of Kings destroys it completely, being the Nethicite slayer.
lol whatever you say buddy. I value good storylines with depth and good character develpoment, not flashy graphics with nothing behind them. Good music too. If you'd played the older games maybe you'd be able to properly judge quality.
I've played Final Fantasies 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, and 12. I know what makes a good Final Fantasy. And you're right; it's good storylines and all that stuff.
This game has all that. You're just too stupid to see it.
Well if you've played all of those, shame on you because you should know by now how to see what a "storyline" is, and "music". So I guess you're just too stupid to see it. ;)
This is a good story. I was disappointed at first (being a big FF fan). But after replaying it, I realised it is awesome. Not quite as good as the others, but still awesome.
uhhh really? How about Aeris' death? Or any of the other moving scenes in the games? It sounds like you've only played 10 - 12, which hardly showcase the FF genre. If you have played the previous ones from 1-9 than you're an idiot.
Galuf's death wins saddest moment in FF history, Cid's Death ranks up there as a very sad moment, at least fourth or fifth, Aeris, eh... it had immense foreshadowing, and the scene was really poorly done anyhow. At least in 5 they Tried to help Galuf, what does Cloud do? Throws her in an underground reservoir, and she goes on to be a plot device that helps "develop" Cloud's character.
Ah, but that's the whole point, it was a "Disney death" . He doesn't actually *die* and he comes back. Pretending to kill off a character was quite overused in the old days, but in this day and age... I thought they had put such ploys behind them.
I played FFVII when I was in the 7th grade and I didn't see her death coming at all. It hit me hard, and a lot of other people as well. Maybe it depends on how old the player is?
To me, Cloud lowering Aeris into the water was a lot more touching than Cid's departure, although his was a little sad as well.
For your information one of the best endings in Final Fantasy history is that of X's ending! I know FFXII is a good game, but never compare it to other FF games
Well, only Balthier and Reddas were sky pirates. And Balthier was made one coz of Cid. Both of them probably just wanted a new lifestyle and a sky pirate is the complete opposite from a judge
Wow, intense. Cid turns just turns out to be WAY too human for anyone's good. Plus a pinch of insanity, but nothing like his son. Not even physically, mind you. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but every single sky pirate around seems to have been a judge magistrate at some point in their lives. :P
how i take it, reddas is judge zecht (spelling?), and some how he survived the explosion. he couldnt bare what happened so he abandoned his title and became a Pirate. All that is said in the previous cutscene.
lol Cid's voice is so theatrical! It's brilliant! "Oh ho be sure that it is!" Legend! And his son (Balthier) is the coolest (don't kill me but he is easily the calmest and most cocky and confident FF character ever)
he wasnt really pretending anything, he was simply talking to Venat who only he could see, so for everyone else who saw him would think he was crazy but he knew more than anyone
Eh... I wasn't referring to his conversation with Venat. I was referring to the things he did in general that has originally alienated his son (basically, things a common mad scientist would do)
I just felt that he sounded a lot more human when he dies, almost like that arrogant, almost FF6-Kefka-like demanor that you'd usually see in him has vanished once he dies.
0:23 Lolz! I found this part very amusing! Cid enter the scene and just stole the spotlight from gabranth with just a push on the arm! hahah

I never said 12 was the best. I said it was good. Clearly you have no appreciation for stories like this one.

This is a good story. I was disappointed at first (being a big FF fan). But after replaying it, I realised it is awesome. Not quite as good as the others, but still awesome.

The Fran/Balthier was the only FF scene to make me cry...I laughed at X's ending

uhhh really? How about Aeris' death? Or any of the other moving scenes in the games? It sounds like you've only played 10 - 12, which hardly showcase the FF genre. If you have played the previous ones from 1-9 than you're an idiot.

Not an "idiot", he/she is just lacking perspective.

Galuf's death wins saddest moment in FF history, Cid's Death ranks up there as a very sad moment, at least fourth or fifth, Aeris, eh... it had immense foreshadowing, and the scene was really poorly done anyhow. At least in 5 they Tried to help Galuf, what does Cloud do? Throws her in an underground reservoir, and she goes on to be a plot device that helps "develop" Cloud's character.

I dunno...Tidus's "death" at the end of X was pretty sad...

Ah, but that's the whole point, it was a "Disney death" . He doesn't actually *die* and he comes back. Pretending to kill off a character was quite overused in the old days, but in this day and age... I thought they had put such ploys behind them.

I played FFVII when I was in the 7th grade and I didn't see her death coming at all. It hit me hard, and a lot of other people as well. Maybe it depends on how old the player is?
To me, Cloud lowering Aeris into the water was a lot more touching than Cid's departure, although his was a little sad as well.

For your information one of the best endings in Final Fantasy history is that of X's ending! I know FFXII is a good game, but never compare it to other FF games

you know if you stand behind dr. cid while he is perparing his gatling gun attack you can't be hit by it

Well, only Balthier and Reddas were sky pirates. And Balthier was made one coz of Cid. Both of them probably just wanted a new lifestyle and a sky pirate is the complete opposite from a judge

Wow, intense. Cid turns just turns out to be WAY too human for anyone's good. Plus a pinch of insanity, but nothing like his son. Not even physically, mind you. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but every single sky pirate around seems to have been a judge magistrate at some point in their lives. :P

watch previuos cutsecen. It seems like Balthier has a large place for Fran in heart

how i take it, reddas is judge zecht (spelling?), and some how he survived the explosion. he couldnt bare what happened so he abandoned his title and became a Pirate. All that is said in the previous cutscene.

lol Cid's voice is so theatrical! It's brilliant! "Oh ho be sure that it is!" Legend! And his son (Balthier) is the coolest (don't kill me but he is easily the calmest and most cocky and confident FF character ever)

He reminds me of Han Solo... but a little bit more erudite. quite witty.

I was wondering, at the edge of his death, did Cid regain his sanity?
Or was he pretending to be nuts all this time?
H536917 4 years ago
he wasnt really pretending anything, he was simply talking to Venat who only he could see, so for everyone else who saw him would think he was crazy but he knew more than anyone
muhammetdag 4 years ago
Eh... I wasn't referring to his conversation with Venat. I was referring to the things he did in general that has originally alienated his son (basically, things a common mad scientist would do)
I just felt that he sounded a lot more human when he dies, almost like that arrogant, almost FF6-Kefka-like demanor that you'd usually see in him has vanished once he dies.
