We’ve seenchocobos. We’ve seencactuars. Now we need a glimpse of that otherFinal Fantasystaple, the obligatory Cid. This week’sShonen Jumpmagazinedelivers the goods, with a brand new Cid forFinal Fantasy XIII. Check out the scan for more.
XIII‘s Cid Raines is a brigadier of some sort of military group, unconnected with the PSICOM regime that we already know about. He looks much younger than some of the other Cid’s we’ve seen, and he also appears to possess a sword very similar to Lightning’s, perhaps hinting at playable possibilities.

Final Fantasy XIIIis just around the corner in Japan, with a June 02, 2025 on the cards for we Westerners. I’m quite looking forward to it.
