New characters are something a lot of gamers look forward to. Whether it’s a reboot of an already beloved character or someone who slam dunks their personality onto the gaming world for all to adore and cherish.

Cid – Final Fantasy XVI

So, Cid is not technically a new character, but he is a different character in every entry and is only familiar in name only. Cid this time around is portrayed by a fantastic voice actor and he dominates the screen. He has a ton of personality and is a very interesting character to watch and develop.
