Cid is a playable character in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Cid's role as an Engineer is largely the same as previous games, with his Analyze ability targeting all enemies as in the 3D release of the original game, and the same variety of equipment. His HP, Strength and Stamina stats are among the highest, though his Speed and MP stats are low. While Cid is a strong physical fighter, he has few unique abilities to offer compared to characters such as Cecil, Kain and Golbez.

Cid has high HP, Strength and Stamina, and at level 99 his Strength and Stamina are among the best of any character. However, his Speed and MP are both poor.
In all the 2D versions, the Cid in Ceodore's Tale and the Cid in Kain's tale are different. The former is a guest while the latter is a main character. This is why his HP and MP are not the same: his stats don't carry over and he starts anew.
