Cid Highwind

is a playable character in Final Fantasy VII. He is part of a long tradition of Final Fantasy Cids. In Japan, he is voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji in Kingdom Hearts II and Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. In the English versions of Kingdom Hearts II, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus, Cid is voiced by Chris Edgerly. Also, Cid has the same last name as Ricard (Final Fantasy II) and Kain (Final Fantasy IV). He is the most uncouth of the protagonists, constantly swearing, losing his temper and chain-smoking cigarettes. Despite this rough appearance, he has a good heart, and is even voted temporary leader of AVALANCHE at one point. The residents of Rocket Town all call him "the Captain," where he serves as something of an honorary mayor....
