Rebirth Seed is more of a support companion
Sid played the role of leader during Final Fantasy 7, While both Cloud and Tifa left the party. He may not have wanted the responsibility but, at the time, he seemed like the only viable option. He was no stranger to buzzing people around and the airship party was his highwind.
