La la la. So I've been playing FF6 again, after about a year of not having played it (and really like 3 years since I actually seriously played it; last time I played it, I played it off and on for like a year, and only got to the Magitek Factory.) But anyway...

This time, I've been trying to do the things I didn't do before. Like, I never saw all of Shadow's dreams before (I don't think.) I also watched Setzer's cut scene after the espers knock it out of the sky in Vector (the one where he talks about Daryl.) This time, I even went through the trouble of making sure Cid stayed alive at the beginning of WoR.

Keeping Cid alive was a pain in the ass. It was like the game wanted him to die, or something. On most visits to the beach, I'd only find "just a fish," "rotten fish," or no fish at all. I'd save every time Cid's condition got better, and in this way, after like an hour and a half, the old fart FINALLY got better. However, I noted that Cid surviving is much less of a dramatic scenario than Cid dying... so yeah. I think it's pretty much not worth the trouble, probably. Seeing Celes jump off the cliff was one of the things that touched me the most the first time I played this game (the fact that it was like 1 in the morning when I first saw it probably amplified the emotions even more.)

So, is it worth it to keep "Grandad" Cid alive, in your opinion? Is there something about keeping him alive that I don't know about, like, does it change the events of the rest of the game at all, or something? Did you find keeping him alive a lot easier than I seemed to have found it? And stuff.

...well...?
