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?

So yeah, he’s been in one or two.
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.
Smoking isn’t cool… But it is when cid does it. :P
Damn, thanks for listing it out.
What’s the context behind the cid thing though, why cid in particular?
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.
That’s the best part of Final Fantasy, is that a lot of them don’t really interact with eachother unless they are direct sequels and spinoffs (like Dirge of Cerberus for FF VII or FFX-2). At most, there is references and they all do share bits and pieces because they’re relatively in a giant universe. Like, you’re always going to see Chocobos. Bahamut is always going to be a part of the game in some role. Cid will always come around and vice versa.
But generally, the story will be different, the cast will be different, the mechanics will be different .etc
No, each story is self contained and in completely different worlds. The only things that carry over are some monsters and there’s always a character named Cid
As a general rule, unless it’s a direct sequel like FFX-2, all Final Fantasy games are not related except for reoccuring enemies, bosses, and themes.
I don’t know why people ask this about games all the time. I don’t think there’s more than a couple games (considering decades of games) where you need to play a previous one to enjoy the latest entry in a franchise.
