We haven't heard anything about or seen Cloud's bike since Heavensward. Do you think SE might give it to us via event or in a campaign like the Falcon Mount? I would love to ride a bike while wearing Cloud's glamour.

they said they are not adding it ages ago. it was teased to showcase a person work it was never going to be added.
Exactly, it was a joke made by one of the artists and was never intended to be added to the game as a mount. Yoshi specifically mentioned it as so. To say nothing of it not even fitting FFXIV's setting.
Also, really the bike couldn't even appear in Eorzea anyway as it's technically destroyed towards the end of Dirge of Cerberus, but I think most players would ignore that anyway. ;)
It will not happen. (I will not say it will never happen cause who knows but most likely no)
hopefully not
Now that we have boosted ground mount speed it wouldn't look as silly, which was their primary excuse for not adding it
the bike in question is pretty huge its a double wheel race bike. think the race bike from kill bill, then rope two together. the fact that cloud had the split capability to even mount it is a shock. it wouldn't really fit size wise in most zones, not to mention the clipping the wheels would do on rocks. the falcon mount only gets by because its tiny, and ppl already complains on their feet clipping through the mount.
People are never going to let this die, are they?
It honestly would not surprise me if the underlying reason they added the Falcon mount (that new mini-airship looking thing) just to get people to shut up about that motorcycle.
If anything it will be on Mogstation rather than a free in-game mount.
Or it will be a new veteran reward for being subbed 6+ months in a row or heck probably 12 months in a row.
But the immersion!
Unless translation were fcked up at that time, my impression was more like "We tested it and it felt really slow and underwhelming, we couldn't get the right feeling for speed on it"
the thing is now we got increased mountspeed, and if you put the model closer to the ground it will feel even faster. So eventhough I am not so hyped about it, I guess the question about it is still legit.
I would not be suprised to see the mount in the Mog Station or added as a bonus for those that buy the FF7 remake.
I don't want to see it....
IF it does happen wait for FFVII remake cross over.
Maybe they're waiting for the FF7 remake, as someone else suggested? It'd be a waste not to use it, considering it's been fully created and animated (>_<) I personally would love to have it in-game, and I don't think it'd go against the lore. We do have several other technological mounts, after all. I don't see what difference this could make when compared with a Garlean airship.
Sure, add it to Mogstation....$200 for it.
6-12 months subbed is NOTHING. 6-12 YEARS okay...but even then you need to do a 15 week long quest to do it. And answer questions from EVERY cutscene in the quest chain in the final step so you can't skip it. Yes I'm trying to make it impossible to get since even Yoshi said he regrets having shown that picture since it will never be added.
Just let the bike fall off of Witchdrop, and let it become buried in the snow like all those dead people.
The only thing that you listed that's a stretch within the FF universe is the rocket turtle. The Falcon is crude but well designed and within the limits of current magitek design, fat chocobos (yes even flying ones) are a thing, and the Kokopopkorripor mount is some magical plant critter, Japanese myth maybe? Either way, floating plant thingy not really hindering any suspense of disbelief.
Now, you bring out something silly like the crossover mounts, and obviously there's nothing tying them down to the established limits for obvious reasons. Which is what the cloud bike would fall under anyway. No, it fitting or not is not the deal, Yoshi doesn't want it in because it would look stupid going half its speed, and also if it were in people would demand it fly, and that's just another level of dumb.
