FFVII Crossover?

Have Cid's Ironworks shop create a special Cloud Cycle mount. How badass would that be? But only give out a few per realm maybe. Just to keep it so there isn't like 500 of them riding around in certain areas.

Yes to the mount, no to the restriction.

I see the problem. People will want it because it is 'cool', but people won't use it if everyone can obtain it because it will ruin their 'snowflake' status.

Make it a limited event (where all participants can get it upon completion), or add it permanently in game, it will make no difference to me. Ride/wear what you like, regardless of how many others will use it. If people won't use it because everyone has one, then the problem is theirs and theirs alone. People that just see it as the 'next pony' will ditch it when the next thing comes along (or they get bored of it) anyway, leaving only those left that truly enjoy it still riding around on it.

I can agree with that. However, I'd still personally like a little bit of status tacked onto it. For instance, having the battle to obtain the parts needed for the cycle have some definite degree of difficulty to it. I get that people barred from it due to accessibility will gripe and complain. But I see it as more of a reward for those who have been really working at the game. Maybe don't make it so you need a certain ilvl and make it a raid, but something with some difficult mechanics at the very least. It should be something that feels earned.

Sounds alright with me.

Regardless of whether the availability of the bike is temporary or a permanent thing, weapon and clothing glamour could also be implemented as part of a more accessible event, so at least people still leveling (or don't have much time) can feel like they got something out of the promo event (more so if the bike quest line is only available for a limited time).

I personally like the idea of a temporary event for glamours, and a permanent quest line at max level for the bike which requires some work to get.

Get out.

Get out.

Haha, touched a nerve? What's the problem with having a unique item, hard sought after, and gifted by the RNG Gods? We already have heaps and heaps of other content readily accessible to the masses. Why not drop a few special vanity items here and there?
