No slanted rocket. No damn tea. No abused wife. No sexy lady decal. No cigarette to ignite his dynamite. No dragons. Not even a spear. His personality seems to be "generic nice guy" now, he doesn't even swear. This isn't Cid Highwind, this is an Ifalna/Aerith simp.
Also the part in the OG FF7 in the scene where Cloud gives Sephiroth the black materia, Cloud beating up Aerith has been removed as well. Cloud beating up Aerith showed how brainwashed by Sephiroth he was but let's remove that . (Hey that sounds similar to Resident evil 4 remake removing the scene with the brainwashed Leon strangling Ada)
And of course the wokes are defending all this censorship, because fiction can't be fiction anymore, a character can't have personality traits they don't like anymore and we can't see anything bad happen to DA FEMALE either . In the OG game, Cid was abusive to his wife but he grew out of it and learnt to appreciate her when she saved his life, but all that character development is gone now
Huh, I never noticed til just now when I read this post that that was Cid's wife. I thought she just hung around because of her guilt and Cid had no problem with that at all
But I did play it the first time when i was around 10 so probably a lot of that kind of nuance flew over me
No, you were correct originally. She's not his wife during the events of the game, though it's heavily implied that he intends to marry her near the end.
They are officially married in the Dirge of Cerberus game
