That is RPG blasphemy.

That's like saying "Screw the rules, I want to play as Michael Jorden in Madden 2017".

It don't work like that. Yes it is Fantasy, but if ruels aren't set for ingame lore than why can't I just high jack ab Allagan Battleship and blast Garlemauld into oblivion? Because theore said the last people to known HOW to fly that thing died 5000 years before the story.

No thanks. Not really interested by this and I'm glad they've decided not too. Something different please that fits within the game.

I'd rather not see this in game.

My brother.

I agree. Between TERA, and PSO2, I've had my fill of online rpgs that throw atmosphere out the window for money.

i would buy it in a heart beat...

which setting a world with robot, flying fortress, airship, train, exo armor.... sure a bike don't fit into it.

people need to think a bit before think, FF14 is not a pure medieval fantasy world, it have a loooot of technology into it.

FFXIV it's the main MMO of FF series. Everything that have on other series should be implemented. I wanna Noctis car, Lightning Minion, Hope hair and more. We need more butt for female characters too. We need a water expansion. We need to swimming. And we need to climb steps.Swimming pools on houses. Every haircut from FF characters. We need cape gears like on FF IV.

Would love this in a tech-y expansion, via rep, MSQ, or raid content with some sort of scavanger/Al'Bed-esque group, if it were to actually go some 40-100% faster than a chocobo, but short of that...

Therefore, see point one.

ETA: Still see a place for a vintage looking steam-punk ironworks bike, if the demand is there.

The part I bolded from your quote isn't entirely true. There was coal power as well before Mako power. Remember, Corel where Barret is from was a coal mining town before the events of FF7.

You know what, I stand corrected. A Cerulium bike might work.
But I think it should be an original design bike, not Fenrir. Why, you ask?

Because of that. Seriously, if we wanted to fanboy/girl over other installments go play them (and, trust me, I do). But FFXIV is unique. The devs don't want to rehash everything constantly to the detriment of Eorzea's original lore. And a good chunk of the playerbase doesn't want them to either.

You are totally right. Fine with a coal powered one...that would be using coal to burn to boil water to create steam to run the engine. A steam-punk magictek bike! Oh, wait...totally already suggested that. Glad you agree with me! :)

Yeah, the world where we have cloning, genetic manipulation, space travel, artificial intelligence, mind-control, teleportation, radios, dimensional rifts, high tech armor, bipedal warmachines (do you know HOW HARD ride-able bipedal robots would be?! Yet they are so common. And can also fly), appearance changing, ceruleum manufacturing, airships and war airships, a shiny high-tech looking fabrication table to make said airships...

Wow yes this common wheeled motorcycle is so unfeasible in this world. /s

i will go farer Titor.... in a world without road for car, the bike is the best to be done for travel around since it allows to pass in place where car can't.

Most of the technology is Imperial or Allagan. It would be jarring to have something like this bike made widely available to the adventurers of Eorzea en masse, while the NPCs go around in chocobo-drawn carts.

Not to mention the practical issue of the spedometer being permanently fixed at derpspeed

Everyone gets a magitek reaper at the end of the 2.0 MSQ, everyone can get a neurolink key if they recruit some friends, everyone can buy more magitek reapers off the cash shop, everyone gets personal airships through the MSQ, anyone can get a magitek ADS mount through pvp.

Sorry, we already have really 'high tech' mounts.

especially magitek armor are for our world a very high tech level hahaha!
but bike that something more easy to make (than personal flying airship) it can't be done with Cid and him company around?

The lore and immersion is just one in a laundry list of problems. See my first post in the thread.

And my reply to you both is something I've said like three times now:

Original bike with Ironworks design and lore. Make it look vintage so the derp speed isn't so annoying.

I'd like new content and ideas, please. I don't want FFXIV to be flooded with reused content from old games. Honestly, the occasional vet glamor is MORE than enough.

ETA: Everyone's been ignoring the reason it was scrapped: the speed issue. We didn't get to see the animation - I bet is was legitimately terrible. I could image, anyway

It better have the bike sequence music with it otherwise epic fail.

We could just steal one from the Garlean or even the blueprint of one of these bikes during a future MSQ kinda like what we did with the black Magitex armor.

Or hell if its actually Allagan technology we could have a sidequest involving one of those ( still closed ) facilities in Azys lla that needs to be explored only to find out that a single unfinished prototype was stored inside. Bring it back to Garlond Ironworks HQ, let em fix it and put their seal on it and bam we get to use it.


Also as i said in another thread regarding mounts and lore is that the lore breaking line has already been crossed with... Sleipnir.

So let the ppl who dont mind it get this mount. Haters be damned. Nobody is forcing you to get it aswell.

Well, this /is/ the lore. There /is/ tech in the world, there /is/ science. It is not some dark ages levels of high-fantasy technology, we have very high tech sci-fi stuff in the world. Very high tech. You have to accept that this tech exists and not just go "lalala not listening i want super high fantasy only"

As for the speed thing, my fat, overweight chocobo and a turtle run at the same speed as my mythological kirin of legend so IDK what to say on that front.

Does not really fit the game very well, so i would vote a big NO, lol

You know, you guys make semi-okay valid points about the lore which can be tolerated.

The Devs really didn't like the speed issue. We didn't see the animation. From the sound of it it looked really, really dumb. If you want to pay money for a really dumb looking bike, that's your prerogative. You're right, I don't have to get one. I most certainly will not.

HOWEVER, I will still be against it being widely available (lock it behind Vet rewards might be a good compromise). Mainly because I'd REALLY REALLY rather see an ORIGINAL bike design. It's not FFVII and if I wanted to be reminded of FFVII when I played it, I would just go play FFVII. There's already enough throwback glamor, in my opinon, and I like the fact that it's vet-reward locked and/or seasonal missable so I don't have to look at it more than I already do.

Absolutely nobody has responded to my, imho, very reasonable compromise solution that I have mentioned many times. Any particular reason it has to be Cloud's bike?

NO I will QUEIT!

It doesnt fit, it looks so out of place. Like in TERA the police cars.

Let me open the door for you.

Why is it always AC stuff?
Is it because it's most recognizable to people not familiar with Final Fantasy? like WoW players?
Everyone seems to remember fenrir more rather than the Shinra bike.

wasn't the shinra bike fenrir and in AC it was tuned up?

This bike will complete me.

Please tie this in as an event with the remake of FF7.

The bike from the Midgar Highway escape sequence in FFVII is called the Hardy-Daytona. There was no indication that it was the same bike and had been remodeled into Fenrir. The structures of the bikes are completely different - the Hardy-Daytona is actually virtually identical to real-world bikes. The Fenir is 100% cyber-punk fantasy imagination.

Also, Cloud basically stole the Hardy-Daytona out of duress and he ditched it at the end of the sequence in order to escape the city (it required him to slide down a rope if I remember correctly). Advent Children implies that Cloud owns and maintains the Fenrir. Them being the same bike is...unlikely

SE.... I want this bike. Idc if it's fast or slow, I want it. Do not listen to vocal minority and waste this opportunity to gain some income from this. I need this bike in my life.

You ride ugly goobdues
fat chocobos who look like they'll keel over at any second
riding giant bears and lions with dead carpet looking faces
horses with more biceps than Arnold Schwarzenegger
somehow we can can create elevators in this world with security systems and other "Garlean/Allagan" technology (but somehow didn't make tvs... i dont even)
ancient allagans can clone creatures including eorzeans
we craft airships (AIRSHIPS)
*and the kicker* We have walking gundams (magitechs), and somehow adding a motor bike is the most obscene thing to add in this game and doesn't deserve to be in it.

I would do the same lol.

I do love the bike. Please add it no matter what.

Begging for the motorcycle isn't going to make them implement it. It wasn't voted down in a player poll, it wasn't some player contest entry that didn't make the cut. It was made by the developers, weighed by the developers and ultimately rejected by the developers... long before anyone even knew it existed. The only reason it's appearing now is because someone asked about a motorcycle mount in a Live Letter Q&A. They probably made it to go with the Strife set, given it's the Advent Children motorcycle Cloud used. We can ask for it all we want but the reasons it was originally rejected would still be the same. It'd be no faster than a fat chocobo.

yes no faster then the fat chocobo, normal chocobo, and the other 4 chocobos, the 11 different horses (one for each element and one who is a 'mythological king of beasts'), a flying allagan sphere, a flying airship,a demon, a lizard, a dragon, a mythological myrcidian wyvern, 4 different magiteks, a behemoth, gob tank, two giant plant monsters, a walking fish, a flying chair held up by EXPLOSIVES, a gryphon, a wolf, a mythological wolf, A TURTLE!, a MAGIC FLYING BROOM AND a LALAFELL WHO IS SPRINTING. i don't think speed of the mount is that absurd. and when it comes to flying if the magitek mounts can fly and the fat chocobo can fly by the sheer will of CAKE, then i don't think this is to difficult for people to abide.

This bike can be yours....for 2million GMP. :D

In seriousness, I would work for this bike....I'd almost...ALMOST...say let it be a crafted item in the workshop but then I would be lynched and thrown into the sea by those who don't own a house. xD

Coming to a cash shop near you.

Note: Not account wide
