give us the bike PLS :D

[DracotheDragon]

LOOK at this sexiness, SE i know you want to scrap this, but please implement it.

if you're worried this mount is to slow, don't worry about it being slow people will still use it, look at games like world of warcraft where a scorpion, a wolf, a bike and a dragon, all move and fly at the same speed as one another. D: and theres mounts slower then them and people will USE them because of pure looks.

i have herd as well you made it so fast it desync'd with the server tick, then make it the same speed as flying mounts or ground mounts, D: i am sure you guys can make it work.

if you don't know how to make the mount fly, have the wheels split with propellers under the wheels to make them fly,

it is like dangling a carrot infront of us, D: we want the carrot. >:V

if you think it won't work because you don't want to offend ff7 players then re texture and re name it the machinest guild could use this as a reward in there quest or something.


edit: mainly made this thread to see reactions and because i am a big fan of diversity in mounts in games unless you guys want MORE birds and horses
for those who say it is to advance looking, they could always remodel it or retexture it to be more fitting. plus were in a game with a giant flying zeppelin and mecha, the garlans architecture is unknown as of now so it might be majorly fitting there, or they could make it more allagahn, :3 so for me i love the idea of a bike something that isn't a Horse or a Bird again

edit2 : this comment fits most for me as well.

I accepted a flying fat chocobo, this is nothing in comparison.

also this

Seems it was only a quick WIP/mockup design, 'just because we can' so to say.
But if they would whip it out properly and give it more work, that might be something to see as part of a FF7 Remake release event.

so take the image and the bike (and animations shown) with a grain of salt, since they were most likely WIP.

It's an okay looking bike but I think it needs a more magitek or steam punk look to be in XIV.

use this as a base of thinking, have the bike to be more Magitek or even with allagan design.

edit 3:

ok to those who think it is a 'dumb' idea, don't forget in the future were getting a flying turtle and gobbue :P so a bike is not that bad, plus if you think it will look dumb moving at the same speed as all the other mounts what about the manacutter which hovers n the ground the broom ect,

and i will reiterate this again IF THEY IMPLEMENT THIS IT DOSNT HAVE TO BE THE ULTRA MODERN FENRIR FROM FF7 AC, IT COULD BE REDESIGNED TO BE MAGITEK ALLAGAN OR EVEN IRON WORKS.

and if you don't like the mount well don't ruin the fun for others i know a few people who wish a few mounts in the game didn't exist yet still do and they don't mind because other people will like it.


edit 4:

i am resurrecting this thread because, well now that the flying turtle has been shown off this kinda gets rid of the 'ruins immersion' people since well if your ok with a flying spinning turtle (which is a reference to a good old franchise that is still going to this day ) then you guys should be ok with a bike since you know it is far less mind boggling to have this contraption into the game, but i am waiting for people to say about how this is stupid and yet justify the flying turtle who is propelled around by 'fart gas' (said by a friend of mine). so, please SE give us the bike please D: we love the idea of a bike mount it doesn't have to be from ff7, but it can be based a viable to go among the mounts like the magitek and manacutter a machine to ride on instead of another pony or chocobo

so lets have a fun discussion about a possible mount that isn't to far fetched with any of the other mounts in the game

[Kasenai]

God, that looks hideous. It's embarrassing that they even considered adding a bike.

[Pomelo]

I'd love to see my Fem Roe on this mount riding it like royalty.

[Emil_no7]

Make it run same speed as flying mounts in Heavensward maps (it will give it value not being a flying one), normal speed in 2.0

[Laerune]

Bike will be released on Cash Store, please look forward to it!

[DamianFatale]

I need this bike. Screw the naysayers.

[KitingGenbu]

Bike will be released on Cash Store, please look forward to it!

Lol honestly people wouldn't care. As soon as I stop getting Error 401s, I'd buy it.

[SlyTribal]

Definitely glad this is being ditched, looks horrible in the world setting.

[White_Devil]

Honestly I went mental when I saw footage of that bike, I wanted to get it so bad just for the sake of having a bike in the game.

Too bad it's just as OP said, a dangling carrot.

Maybe to balance it out, there should come a point where everyone has access to mounts which are just as fast as the bike, like in the next expansion, the new areas will require covering a lot of distance which will justify fast mounts.
I mean we've already got flying in heavensward, so adding another mode of transportation, if not by water would be pretty awesome.

Slap on some flames and i'll give it my approval.
