Cidolfus Orlandeau first appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics in 1997 and later returned in Final Fantasy XIV during the Stormblood expansion's Return to Ivalice raid series. As the final boss of the Orbonne Monastery, released in 2019, his Thunder God Cid form became one of the raid's most quoted encounters. Players clipped his formal speech for streams, kill videos and goodbye memes, where the archaic phrasing stands out from modern game dialogue. The line keeps circulating because it works both as an in-joke for raiders and as a standalone dramatic farewell.
About this sound
Thunder God Cid saying 'it is time I bade you farewell' from Final Fantasy XIV, used for dramatic goodbyes, boss clips and Final Fantasy edits.
This is a voiced farewell line from Cidolfus Orlandeau, known as Thunder God Cid, delivered with the formal, theatrical weight the character is famous for. The phrasing is old-fashioned and solemn rather than casual, so the goodbye feels final and a little ominous. His deep delivery stretches the moment, turning a simple exit into a boss-like declaration. Listeners familiar with Final Fantasy recognise the authority in the voice immediately, while newcomers hear a dramatic parting that sounds like it follows a hard fight. It lands less as a polite goodbye and more as a warning that the encounter is truly over.
