Though each ''Final Fantasy'' game each has had its own Cid since ''Final Fantasy II'' (and remakes of the original ''Final Fantasy'' | Though each ''Final Fantasy'' game each has had its own Cid since ''Final Fantasy II'' (and remakes of the original ''Final Fantasy'' mention a Cid as well), the Cid of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series is that of ''Final Fantasy VII'', Cid Highwind. As a Cid, he bears the trademark of his association with machinery and airships, or Gummi ships in this case. Like Cid Highwind, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Cid is a pilot and, while somewhat uncouth, has a good heart. However, what is not retained is his smoking habit, thus the lack of the box of cigarettes strapped to his goggles and his trademark cigarette in his mouth, which is replaced by a toothpick to produce a similar image, and more importantly, his signature foul mouth, with many of these foul words replaced by symbols in the English translation. In addition, his attire resembles neither his original design nor his appearance in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children''. | ||
Cid | Cid, Aerith, Yuffie, and Leon were originally set to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. However, in the final release, they were removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were too many plot lines already, and it would have gotten confusing.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "Zack appears at the Coliseum, but was there a reason why he is the only ''Final Fantasy'' character this time around?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "We wanted to have Cid and the gang in Radiant Garden, but that would have made the story go too far off track. The main story of ''Birth by Sleep'' is complicated enough as it is, so instead of making a lot of side roads, we concentrated on the main story. Which resulted in having no other ''Final Fantasy'' character but Zack make an appearance."

Cid is one of the first characters that [[Sora]] meets and befriends after arriving in [[Traverse Town]]. He runs an [[accessory]] [[shop]] in the center of the town's {{c|First District|trt}}. At one point, Cid sends Sora out to deliver an old, broken book—''[[100 Acre Wood|The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]''—to [[Merlin]]. When Sora and company return to Traverse Town with unusual gummis, he explains Navigation Gummis to them and offers to install that ones they find on their Gummi Ship. He turns over the accessory shop to someone else, and he begins selling Gummi Ship parts outside the synthesis shop. | |||
Like [[Leon]], Merlin, and other important characters met in Traverse Town, Cid was originally from [[Radiant Garden]].

Cid is a member of the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]], working out of Merlin's home. He fills Sora and company in on the goings on in town when the drop by. Cid seems to have a rivalry with Merlin, with Cid favoring technology over magic and Merlin favoring magic. He is a computer expert, and manages to create a program which helps Sora and [[Tron]] defeat the [[Master Control Program]]. | |||

Data Cid | Shortly after entering the [[Datascape]]'s version of Traverse Town, [[Data-Sora]] meets Data-Cid outside the accessory shop. Data-Cid asks Data-Sora to help search for Data-[[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]] around town. After Data-Sora brings back Data-Huey and Data-Dewey, Data-Cid gives him a piece of the world's [[Keyhole]]. | ||
===''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''=== | |||
A year after Sora's disappearance, Cid, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and [[Riku]] all try to uncover the whereabouts of Sora. Cid recreates Sora's battle data and [[Real Organization XIII's Recreated Data]]. After the digital Sora defeats the recreated Organization XIII, the data analysis still states that Sora's data hasn't been updated, sending the group's search back to square one. | |||

Unlike his fellow '' | According to the official Japanese website for the first ''Kingdom Hearts'', Cid is forty-two years old at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and forty-three during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. | ||
Unlike his fellow ''{{ff|Compilation of Final Fantasy VII}}'' characters, Cid's appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' only vaguely resembles his look in the ''Compilation'' media. He retains his goggles and wears a necklace with a rectangular charm that resembles one he wore in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' (though it is made of wood and secured by a rope here, whereas in ''Advent Children'' it was metal and secured by a thin chain, rather resembling a military dog tag). Cid's short hair is blond, albeit styled a bit differently and much brighter than his original incarnation's platinum blond hair. | |||
His eyes are blue and he has some stubble on his chin. Cid chews on a toothpick instead of his normal cigarette due to the younger demographic of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He wears a white T-shirt with two buttons descending from the neck. His baggy pants are blue and have a very wide, orange waistband with thin, vertical stripes on it. Cid's pants are worn rather high, with the waistband coming up to just under his ribcage, similar to the way he wore them in the ''Final Fantasy VII'' games. Cid also wears grey socks and black shoes. | His eyes are blue and he has some stubble on his chin.

{{ff|Cid Highwind}} made his debut in ''Final Fantasy VII'' as one of the playable characters, and the last non-optional party member. | |||
Was to be the first man to ever go to the outer space, Cid is forced to abandon his dreams by his very own assistant, Shera. As he is about to take off in the "Shinra No. 26", he decided to abort the launch because Shera was still in the engine room, checking an oxygen tank as it showed some minor anomalies. | Was to be the first man to ever go to the outer space, Cid is forced to abandon his dreams by his very own assistant, Shera.

Later, the new president of Shinra, Rufus, held a meeting with him. Cid thought he was going to re-initiate the Space Program, but it turns out Rufus planned to take Cid's airplane, the "Tiny Bronco", to chase after Sephiroth. After Cloud and the others defeated Palmer (who was going to steal the airplane under Rufus's order) and accidentally turned on the airplane, both the party and Cid made an escape from Rocket Town and landed on the sea. Cid then decided to join the party to oppose Shinra and defeat Sephiroth. | Later, the new president of Shinra, Rufus, held a meeting with him.
