IS this mount for the FF7 relaunch?

Make it really fast and have it burn a lot of Gil (or some valuable) as cost for fuel. *shrugs*

It's for this exact reason why I wouldn't want it in the game. If it was the only super high speed mount, then suddenly every single other mount in the game would cease to be useful and would become nothing but trophies unless they could match the speed. Every single player would literally only be riding this mount for the effect wither they actually liked it or not.

They can make it as slow as the others, even make a big notice in the product details on the Mog Station, people will still buy it fully knowing what they get themselves into.

Because bikes.

They can get a bike.

I think the XIV team are putting their own views before the players regarding this particular mount. A motorcycle should be fast... with the speed it goes in the video, it may as well be a Flintstones vehicle.

To be fair, it would be funny to have this tricked-out motorcycle with one horsepower.

I believe there is a solution to make the mount not look bad due to slow speed. In Aion they introduced some kind of special mounts which had a similar problem, they had to appear going faster than normal mounts to make sense, but in the end they had to be the same speed. What they did was add some kind of warp animation on the sides, similar to how it is when you go very fast, that gave you the pseudo-impression that the mount was going much faster than what it did.

I believe if they do that here they can solve the issue of the bike looking "stupid"

More than just speed makes this look "stupid"

can't wait for my awesome bike se even if slow ff7 was amazeing add to cash shop plz afterall you did waste dev costs if you dont and all...

And the Mana Cutter doesn't look stupid at ground mount speed? How is this any different?
