Cid Highwind Joining Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis

The roster of original Final Fantasy VII characters is growing in FFVII Ever Crisis, as Cid Highwind is about to join the cast. He marks the last major character from the party to appear. We’ll see him and chapter 8 of that entry’s storyline in-game on January 15, 2025.

Since the Cid announcement is so new, we don’t know about his initial weapons and gear yet. There is a first trailer for the update, however. It begins by showing a story segment from Chapter 8: An Encounter with the Past. In it, Cloud and the party meets Cid for the first time and gains access to the Tiny Bronco. We also get to see him perform one of his in-battle attacks, highlighting his 3D model for the first time. The appearance seems to be based on his more recent look from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. (While he wasn’t playable in that game, he does show up to assist for some flights.) The end of the trailer teases that the mobile version of the storyline will also include multiple Gold Saucer date experiences, with both Aerith and Tifa ones highlighted.

Here’s the full Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis trailer for FFVII Chapter 8 and Cid Highwind:

The last playable character to join Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis was Angeal Hewley in FFVII The First Soldier. This was a younger version of him than the one we meet in Crisis Core. The last FFVII character to join was Vincent Valentine.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available on PCs and mobile devices, and the FFVII Chapter 8 storyline will appear and add Cid Highwind to the roster on January 15, 2025.
