Final Fantasy VII: Cloud's Bike

I also thought Zell's board from ff8 would be pretty swag.

These ... things look to be a merger of motorcycle and beast (could the Garleans be experimenting living things now?)

Bless you SE.....

Yeah if you're saying we don't have the tech for motorcycles when we have mechwalkers, I don't know how to help you. You're wrong.

A hover board would be fun. And if anyone complains I better not look you up on the Lodestone and find a Wu Kong cloud. That would be the pot calling the kettle black

dear lord, really? most of the mounts are fantasy based. a motorcycle is not fantasy based. Please no.

did you miss the mount that's required in the Stormblood storyline?

I want a bicycle.

A perfectly normal bicycle. Cuz I'm plain like that.

A bicycle would be nice, but seeing speed 3 would be hilarious, so, double yes.



But yeah, anyone saying it doesn't fit has never paid attention to the game or lore AT ALL. This is a story about lesser nations coming together and advancing into a new era as they combat a severely technologically superior enemy and retrofit their own weapons against them and even advance them further. Machinist is a class, so you can't call this medieval fantasy. It's a Fantasy Industrial Age shot forward by high tech enemies.

Motorbikes and mentioning FF8...

I kind of want the bikes used by the Galbadian Army in FF8

While a flying motorbike would be silly, a rocket powered jump in it's place might work for most cases...

no thanks to the bike.

Lightning, Snow.

Good evening.

Bandannas?! Ruffled, pointy hair with a ponytail?! Surely this is from a world too technologically advanced not to cause an all-consuming black hole if entered into our own!

Or they could just be hair. Maybe.

(Admittedly, there were the shitty replica weapons, too, but I haven't seen them since release week.)

Take anyone who hasn't seen the FFXIII characters and ask them, "do these hairstyles convey a conflicting world design?" I doubt they'd give a damn one way or the other.

Alternatively, take an advanced magitek gunship from XIII (or, say, a high-speed motorcycle from VII) when airships thus far are limited to basic magitek or traditional cannons and a literal propeller ship beneath a dirigible balloon and the primary mode of travel is an oversized chicken and then ask the same question. They'd probably then at least have a basis for an opinion, if not an outright affirmative.
