    Garleans ride the skies in airships resembling naval aircraft carriers.

    Allagan technology imprisoned ten-mile-tall dragons along with a colossal spacefaring battle cruiser, sealed them into an artificial moon hurled into orbit around the planet, and harnessed the sun with said artificial satellite in order to power their civilization, wreaking havoc on the land when it went awry.

    Garlean and Eorzean technological advancements in the modern age are all derived from the technological prowess of the Allagans.

    But holy crap guys, a motorcycle is just too high-tech and out of place in this thoroughly medival game.

    While I still disagree with the idea, this made me laugh out loud. Thank you for this.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I disagree too o.O but the premise of some of the counterarguments had me scratching my head...

    Well, why would they need them? Magitech works land and rough terrain perfectly. They have trams and airships for everything else.

    I mean, it's the reason they don't have cars too. The technology is mostly made to be fantastic, not contemporary.

    Basically, it's not about it being too high tech, it's about it fitting in with the world

    Agreed, the technology of a motorcycle could definitely fit within the lore of the gameworld.
    I think a motorcycle or something like that could be cool as a mount, just not specifically Cloud's bike for stylistic reasons. Something like a hover-quad based off Garlean airship technology, something like that I could get behind as it is tailored specifically to the game.
