-Though each ''Final Fantasy'' game each has had its own Cid since ''Final Fantasy II'' (and remakes of the original ''Final Fantasy'' mentions 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 is rather uncouth behavior with 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, 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."
