Cid's Teeth

[hideka]

i think lilisette should be added as a DLC charachter for duodeciem >_> she would be freaking AMAZING to play as >_>

Ok for the record Cid's teeth was badly damaged by Orcish beastmen in the last great war. Gvodibandod Teethdegrader used some forbidden methane gass bombs that reduced Cid's teeth to nothing. And now hes using special alchemist guild created floating dentures that protrude from his mouth.

Sounds legit

I'm pretty sure I figured out this mystery a few years ago. Here's an article I wrote for my linkshell in 2008. Sorry about the image links but I'm not sure if there's a way to embed images.

Peculiar Pachidermal Periodontics

No matter what nation you call home, all adventurers of all ranks have at one point or another crossed paths with or at least have heard the fantastic stories surrounding Cid, the world famous inventor and chief engineer in Bastok's Metalworks. But more fascinating than his amazing career is a matter that has piqued the curiosities of and inspired terror into many adventurers around the world.

What the heck is up with that guy's teeth anyway?

Since moving back to San d'Oria I've been able to have a few chats with our local specialist of biology and wildlife, Atelloune, who let me look upon some of the research done by her mentor, Professor Chanoix. Upon viewing these documents I found something quite interesting.

Behold, the marid. I'm sure most of you have seen these before lumbering about in Bhaflau Thickets or Wajaom Woodlands, though I doubt any of you have gotten close enough to notice these:

These are the teeth of an adult female marid. Let me line it up with another picture for comparison. (just don't ask me how I got it)

Could Cid's teeth be modified marid dentures? It's not completely out of the question. Bastok has been known to have trade connections with Aht Urghan, and especially with the presence of the Tenshodo, such a thing wouldn't seem so preposterous.

But whether they are marid molars or not, one thing is for certain.

They sure are creepy.

LMAO! That is the greatest thing ever. I've noticed it too but never actually thought about it. XD

[Demonicpagan]

OMG, this has been the best thread ever to read... LOL

Kudo's for ppl with a sense of humor, I ROFL tyvm.

Both i think, he has other flaws like the rip in his pants seam that shows off his apparent invisibility. Its a pretty big hole, not sure how that went unnoticed. lol

As a taru and starting out in Bastok, I have to admit, Cid was both awesome, and yet horrifying because of the rip in his pants that always greeted me.

i just noticed last night that all the beetles have one backwards foot. the toes on their right foreleg point inward toward the body and on every other foot they point away. dunno if that was intentional for square-enix.

Wow the OP must be in the dentistry field. Haha...fun times...fun times.
