New interview from JP 4gamer site

[Leonesaurus]

However..I dont see Cid really coming in. I dont see any place where a "Cid" figure would be appropriate at the moment. Maybe in Ishgard.

Edit: Cant read at 1am in the morning too well. So Cid IS coming in??
Very interesting..

From what I've seen, read, and played... Cid (the engineer/pilot/mechanic/ so on, so on, so on...) seems like he'd be an engineer for the Garlond Ironworks or something. Doesn't necessarily imply he's a bad guy, even though he's been one in a past FF title, since other innocent Garlond Ironworkers have fled from Garlemald in the popular sidequests in each main city. However, it is possible, he flees from there too and comes to one of the major cities in an update or what not?

I don't think he'd be in Ishgard, since all the Ishgardians are Elezeen, as far as I know. But who knows for sure?

Not that I am doubting you or anything, but could you tell me where it says that all the Ishgardians are Elezen? I'd be interested in learning more on Ishgard. Is it in one of the later missions? I guess I will eventually see it then if it is.

But in that case, Im still sticking with Cid being the character. The mention of airships coming, and a mention of a familiar character is all too coincidental to me!

I'm not sure I consider Summons as "Characters", weather its Bahamut Ifirt or Cid. I can careless.. I will be happy =)

Depends, I think mainly FFIV, FFVI and FFXI you could consider them characters as they were more than one hit wonders in those games.
