IS this mount for the FF7 relaunch?

Do it SE.... dont make me post pics of Fry saying take my money. And make it fly like the bikes in FF8. And before anyone starts calling lore on this bike, I say that ship sailed this morning when the servers came up and the first turtle-tops lunched. Just say "Garlean" and call it good.

And the Mana Cutter doesn't look stupid at ground mount speed? How is this any different?

Difference being that the Mana Cutter was designed with flight in mind. The motorcycle is not.

So was the turtle with the ground, but see what SE did with it. Now I will believe anything.

I try to imagine there's no flying turtles (way too stupid for my liking).

Two player hover bike Fran had in FFXII. I want both, Fran's and Cloud's!

I saw that hover bike as a more possible solution in this game over the bike.

You can bet that a good amount of people will be ready to throw their money on the screen for this, especially when the FF7 Remake is going to hit.
All they need to do is to touch up on the quality, add some animations and basically they are done with it.

How about some added speed, inertia, and enough space to drive for thirty seconds before reaching a cliff or zone border?...

I'd much rather hold off for an Ala Mhigan or Garlean expansion if it means getting a mount that actually behaves a bit differently, rather than just being a skin over +100% walk speed.

Idk how this bike would work in ffxiv, but in the movie "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" I saw this bike spin a 360 (during mounted combat) while driving forward(imagine a frisby in motion) and it never slowed down to do so. Also this bike could bunny hop and ride up mostly vertical cliff walls. Flight however, wouldnt work. But it would give us reason to travel on land mounts in the HW areas. I would not pass up any extra speed though.

You know this discussion makes me want to run a dungeon where you start at the beginning of a road-like instance and must run like hell to the end and not get caught in explosions while riding mounts and dodging debris lol. Maybe a mini game. dungeon doesnt seem viable.

The issue isn't immersion based. As The Garlean Empire has motorbikes and even cars. Eorzea is just stuck in the dark ages.

The issue is from a gameplay perspective. It's a motorbike and it would look like it was going REALLY fast but actually be at the speed of a Chocobo. Which honestly...would be very odd.
Now if it moved at Flying Mount speed it would work. But...then rendering becomes an issue in ARR zones.
So they'd need to merge (and thus expand the ARR zones).

It's ALOT of work for 1 mount.
Maybe when we goto Garlemald we'll get this mount and some superior to everything Garlean mounts.

only way I could see Clouds Advent children bike being in game is if its like a chocobo porter in later content areas. or introduced as a mini game, or they somehow control its turn rate/dift so that if your going to use it, its to piddle around on not for serious travel.
