Yoshi-P wants to make a Final Fantasy 16 DLC about Cid

The thirst for more lore, more character development, and more time to roam the stunning landscapes of Valisthea is high. Yoshida's statement has given many hope, a glimmer of something more coming on the horizon. This potential expansion is exciting not just because of the possibility of further exploration of the FF16 world, but because it may delve into the life of one of its most popular supporting characters: Cid.

Cid's charisma and sarcasm, coupled with his noble objectives and Ineson's compelling voice acting, have made him a firm fan favorite. However, the one complaint echoed by many is that there's too little of Cid in FF16's main narrative, as we've already mentioned. But, again, that's why Cid is perfect for a DLC. This extra piece of content would give Square Enix and audiences an opportunity to delve into his largely unexplored past, focusing on his time in the Royal Waloeder Army, his complicated relationship with antagonist Benedikta Harman, and his defection from Waloed. Such an expansion would offer fans a closer look at Cid's intriguing character and his journey.

Picture this: a prequel storyline centered on Cid, showcasing his life before the Hideaway, beginning from when he arrived at the islands, his entry into Waloed, his encounter with Benedikta, and the moment he discovered the reality of the mother crystals, which eventually sparked his rebellion. This storyline could also flesh out other characters, such as the other Dominants, the Emperor, and the Archduke, whose backstory was only lightly brushed upon in the main game.

It's easy to envision a world where they play as Cid, mastering the art of witty one-liners, both in conversations and amidst a chaotic battlefield. Imagine giving Cid a unique ability that allows him to demoralize enemies with his sharp tongue and wit, not unlike Spider-Man but someone who's way sharper with a sword.

While Yoshida's comments are indeed intriguing, they should still be taken with a grain of salt. After all, Yoshida himself has stressed that these are personal preferences and not official announcements. But these hints of a Cid-centered DLC are tantalizing for fans, stoking the embers of hope for a richer exploration of FF16's characters and lore.

Time will tell if these dreams will materialize into an actual DLC. For now, fans are content with dreaming of a story where Cid takes center stage, where they can delve deeper into the life of this charming and complex character.
