If there’s any kind of staple that the Final Fantasy series can be attributed to, aside from its emphasis on a deep/emotional story, with the exception of a few titles in the series, that staple would be the appearance of Cid who varies among each FF game with a different personality. As evidenced by this latest scan of FFTA2 from Jeux-France, Cid will make his appearance, as expected, in the game. It was sort of expected anyway, but this is pretty cool.
Does the way he look in the game seem familiar to you?
