Yes, those exist throughout the series but each incarnation is different. The Cid here isn't the same Cid from other games, and not every Cid had an airship or was a tech genius. There is a version of Gilgamesh that has made appearances in multiple games but he is not the only Gilgamesh. Chocobos serve the same purpose in every appearance but never look the same.

That these things exist in every installment is no excuse to disregard the lore of this game and copy/paste the characters from another. That seems to be what was asked for instead of a unique incarnation that is reminiscent of the original but not the original itself.

I may not have been completely clear initially, but this was one of my responses -

I think it would be an awesome fight/addition to the game, but I definately agree that it would need to be done tastefully and with no direct reference storywise to VII (Heck, even that could probably be done right, since we've already seen instances where different titles take place in the same universe - Final Fatasy VII and X, look it up if you don't beleive me).
