Cid League [July 15 - July 27]

Hello everyone.
This is the first "themed" league of the forums! This league's theme, as you can see, is "Cid".



Cid is a familiar name for all of us. Usually a friend, he helps us explore the many worlds of Final Fantasy on incredible airships, whether he builds them or repairs them! But sometimes he's more than that - an ally in battle, or even a foe you need to stop.

This league however won't just be using Airship themes: we will use themes associated with Cid! (There are unfortunately a couple of Cid-related themes that are only DLC, like Library of the Ancients and Balamb Garden… So we won't use them!) Of course, most of them will still be Airship themes

If I'm not mistaken, among the base 221 songs, there are twelve themes you can link to Cid! And so this league will last for twelve days. The order of the songs has been decided through a random number generator.

Difficulty: Basic, Expert, Ultimate (decided with a dice roll!)

Restrictions: None!


Let's start!

July 15th League Hit: Final Fantasy IV - The Airship - Basic Score
July 16th League Hit: Final Fantasy I - Airship - Expert Score

In Final Fantasy IV, Cid Pollendina is a friend of the main character, as well as the engineer creating the airships for the Kingdom of Baron. He teams up with you on multiple occasions, hammering monsters in the face!!

Nice. Also, welcome to the forums!

Thanks, working on the other league too.

A new day has begun, and a new song has been added!

I messed up on the second one X(

July 15:

July 16:

My first AC songs on this website! (These smilies are dump.)


By the way:
This league is a great idea! Thank you for making it, LeShad!

It's the 17th here in Europe, so a new song has been added! Whaaat?!

In Final Fantasy, it is said the flying airship the Warriors of Light ride was created by Cid of the Lufaine, many years ago.

...Ouch >_< This was just terrible. Guess I lost then

July 17:

You're right. That was terrible.
Everyone has bad days. Maybe mine's already tomorrow.

July 17th has come and gone. You know what that means! A new song has been posted!

I'm not playing because I'm watching EVO myself

Man I suck >_<
Well, I believe that firmly plants me in dead last. Doesn't matter though, I'll continue to participate

July 18:

This was okay. Not more and not less.

Ouch, pretty tough song, huh?

Well, don't worry: today's song is a bit easier! Have fun!

July 19:

Yeah, the last song was quite hard. And this one is not only a bit easier!

This one was also a top hit of the day

…And after an easy song, we're right back to Ultimate Score!! Blame the dice!

Hey I love Ultimate scores, I guess I just need to warm up before doing them XD

Ding ding ding, time for today's stage to be revealed!

Forgot to post this yesterday. I'm still doing this!

July 22nd's song is here! Have fun!

And here are my own scores.



In Final Fantasy VI, Cid Del Norte Marquez is the inventor of Magitek. He is the father of Celes, on whom he experimented with Magitek before realising the errors of his ways. He decides to betray the Gestahlian Empire, hiding the advancement of his research as much as he can…





Named after its creator's wife, the Hilda Garde is a trio of airhips used by the main cast in Final Fantasy IX. They were designed by Regent Cid Fabool IX, before he was turned into a monster by Queen Hilda as she found out he had an affair with another woman. This would prove disastrous, as his mind would be unable to perfect the new Hilda Garde ship, and as Queen Hilda would help Kuja…





The Celsius was a ship named by the Al-Bhed Brother, Cid's son and Rikku's brother (duh), to mock Cid's airship called the Fahrenheit. Brother and Buddy were guided to the ship by a seagull, which is why they named their Sphere Hunter group the Gullwings!





Cidolfus Demen Bunansa is… Not a good man. After learning of the true power of nethicite, he experimented with the "stone of the gods", allowing incredible technological advances. However, this slowly damaged his mind - as did Occuria Venat - and this made him want to change the course of History, having no qualms killing and hurting people - even his own blood and flesh.





Cid Haze created the many airships of the floating continent. Cursed to an ethereal existence by Djinn, Cid offers the four youth the use of his airship in exchange for help. After he is rescued, he returns to his village. But the man's goggles hide more than his eyes…





Found on the bottom of the ocean, the Fahrenheit ship lets Tidus and company escape from Home as it comes under Guado attack. Its captain is Cid, the leader of the Al Bhed. Where does his bitterness and desire to stop summoners come from?

Man, I'm not really good at this game. Perhaps those scores in the Moogle League were all flukes?


Well, anyways, I just want to thank LeShad for keeping up this Cid League. It means a lot when we're pretty much the only ones left, give or take a couple, who still visit this site regularly.
