I wonder why he's so important... I noticed the name in the FF games I've played and in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. I've also noticed that moogles and Chocobos also keep reappearing.

I found this on wikipedia: Since the release of Final Fantasy II, including subsequent remakes of the original Final Fantasy, a character named Cid has appeared in different capacities: a non-playable ally, party member, and villain. Though Cid's appearance and personality differ between titles, the character is normally related to the in-game airships.
