this game still kicks ass supreme but it's weird revisiting and getting to domestic abuser Cid. you go from Barret being betrayed and losing an arm and Cloud's identity crisis, serious stakes in the world of the story but tonally light as a player, to Cid abusing the shit out of a woman for decades because she saved his life and she's so broken from him that she thinks she deserves it. fuck this guy get him AWAY from her!!!!! it's just a bit jarring, tonally, going from this morally-dark abuser party member to ex-wifeguy vampire Vincent, Sephiroth's goth step-dad.
