The game looks fascinating to me, but I’ve never played any of the other FF games. I’m aware of the characters in VII, but outside of that, would I need to play any others to play XVI?

        AFAIK, nobody knows why exactly they started doing this, but they just do this now, as a tradition, 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.
