So yeah, he's been in one or two.
Damn, thanks for listing it out.
What's the context behind the cid thing though, why cid in particular?
AFAIK, nobody knows why exactly, they just do this thing, that in each game there's a character named Cid who is (most of the time) related to tech in some way. Same for Biggs and Wedge - they aren't in each game, but they always come in pair. When there's Biggs - there's always Wedge. They could do completely random roles, usually not major ones, but it's just a recurring element
I'm immeasurably disappointed in XVI for naming a pair of characters Tyler and Wade rather than Biggs and Wedge.
Off note, but I didn’t realize until now that Cid from FF7 has a pack of cigarettes strapped on to his head with his goggles. Truly a captain badass.
Smoking isn't cool... But it is when cid does it. :P
Pretty much all of them except the first. They are generally different characters with the same name.
