Who is your favourite out of Cid and Barrett and why?
Its a hard choice for me, but I would have to say Cid because he lightened the mood sometimes in the game..

The better character or the more useful party member?

Either way, I'd give it to Cid...though I like both characters. I never really give Barret much training.

Having a gun for an arm is pretty badass in my book. That's a bit more noteworthy than ol' Marlene at least. haha

Hrmm...That IS a hard choice.

I didn't play with both of them. They both were very powerful though. If I HAD to choose I guess I'd go with Cid since he's such a bad ass character.

Definetely Cid, he was even more hilarious than Barret, but he had better stats and the better Limit break. Plus him actually telling Shinra they can stuff it up the A was badass as well.

What criteria are we judging? Usefulness on the battlefield or personality? Either way I pick Barret for both.

His limit breaks are some of the best in the game (hell, he even had that handy one that drained MP), he was the stereotypical angry black man but he still was a good father to Marlene, and he didn't verbally abuse his assistant.

That just always disgusted me about Cid, he treated the woman who devoted her life to him like crap. Plus he's a hick, and I hate those types too.

I hated both of them.

But if I had to choose, I would probably choose Barret. His backstory was far more interesting, and I enjoyed his relationship with Cloud and Tifa and Marlene.

Same thing what VR said about Cid. He just reminded me of my uncle, and for that, I'm never allowed to like him. Or any other Cid in the FF series, for that matter. xD
