Cid, Biggs, and Wedge are names that have been used in a lot of the Final Fantasy games. The funny thing is, they’re not always the same person, but different character’s who’ve shared the same names! Biggs and Wedge have always been partners/teammates though.:p

Biggs and Wedge

These characters are named as homage to the Star Wars characters Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles.

FF6: Biggs and Wedge were a pair of Vector soldiers who were eventually killed by an Esper

FF7: They were part of a n eco-fighting group (AVALANCHE) who died when President Shinra orders the pillars of their section in Midgar to be destroyed

FFVIII: They were a pair of Galbadian soldiers who battled the main characters, but also provided some comic relief

FFX, FX-2 and FFXII: They were guards for some place or the other

There were also Biggs and Wedge characters in Chro Trigger, Kingdom Hearts II, and Chobo’s Dungeon 2.

*phew*

Cid

He appears usually as a middle-aged guy (whether playable or non-playable) who is, more often than not, an owner, creator, mechanic, or pilot/driver, usually of an airship.

I don’t know why his name is carried in the FF games though.:/
