Ride ze Shoopuf?

I would use a motorcycle. Other players already break the immersion.

[Darki]

Uh, I care.
I'm someone.

I don't want everything casually dumped in Eorzea. I'll take the occasional nod or gift, but I want this world to be developed far more than I want to see stuff from an old game. Eorzea's pretty interesting. It has potential to be fondly regarded without using references as a crutch.

Boy are you going to be mad when the Golden Saucer is released.

Second: Motorcycles are fast. Like, really fast. Faster than every other mount in the game five-fold fast. So either they have to nerf a motorcycle to only be able to go 10MPH or less (which is unrealistic from a physics standpoint due to balance and momentum), or buff every other mount's speed to unrealistic levels just to make things fair.

Whil a motorcycle would probably be faster, it's not exactly realistic now. We have the chocobo, which probably the closest real-world equivalent would be the ostrich. It can run what, 45 MPH and is one of the fastest land based birds if not the fastest. Next we have the unicorn mount, so we'll go horse. 25-30 MPH on average (yes yes the world record is faster but I find it hard to believe we all have record breaking mounts). So the chocobo should already be faster than the horse. Then you have the Gobbuue. It's a bipedal creature with short legs and you ride on top of it and it's top heavy. I doubt it could be faster than a human at walking speed despite it's increased size. So we'll say about what 5 MPH? So the chocobo is going about 9 fold faster than the gobbuue yet match speeds.

So I can agree immersion breaking but it's not like it's not already there.

No, I wouldn't mind more mounts, but there are serious things that are broken right now that should be dealt with. All hands on deck, as it were.

Not really.
I'm fine with references and junk as long as they fit into this world. I just don't want them overtaking the lore of this one. Just having a casino named "The Golden Saucer" won't really mess with anything.
Having Clouds contemporary looking bike going 10 Mph, jumping, and making impossibly sharp turns for the sake of a reference? Not so much.
We're already pushing it with that great King Slime hat. It's fun, but really out of place.

Put in Snow's bike. I wanna ride Shiva.

This! Great idea! No Icepony... Shivabike!

[OdinEon]

Roegadyn as mount.

I think it would be awesome to carry around a Lala friend, kinda like Rauban and the Sultana.

Ok that makes sense. I would like to run a hypothetical by you and everyone who sees this since this is on the thread's subject. Let's say that Cid, Biggs and Wedge made a bike but it wasn't refereed to as "Cloud's Bike" and would only be used outside the continent of Erozea in the more open lands of Hydalyn (The game will be going there eventually) so that we don't have a big bulky bike turning on a dime as you said. Would you vote yea or ney?
