FFxiv New Mounts Clouds Motorbike, Noctis Car

[Avatre]

Why do people keep re-suggesting these? (Meaning the Car and Cloud's dumb bike) I hope they never get added.

Well, with Cloud's bike, Yoshi has gone on record(during a live letter none-the-less) saying that he regrets having shown the concept art as it will never be put into FFXIV.

...and in the latest interview he states the following:

Q. Is the bike mount idea your talked about gone now?
A. No, it's still in the garage. We would like to do something with it when the time comes.

neither do high powered turtle mounts with engines and cyborg gorilla this game lost its lore incorporation long ago little guy.
and a lore could easily made by a little back story

"a handful have been successfully trained not only to accept riders, but also wield ancient magicks which allow the colossal scalekin to fly." there are no engines allowing the Adamantoise to fly. As for Garlemald and Allag, their technology has a set theme to it, and this theme does not include the likes of top speed motorbikes and cars. Maybe, just maybe when we get to Garlemald, we might see some sort of bike and car technology, and might even get them as mounts, but they will be nothing like Cloud's and Noctis', they will be entirely Garlean based.

Here we go again... I still support the bike, the car would be nice but pointless unless it becomes some kind of FC mount you can have 3 other people chill with you on.

I've posted this in all the other bike threads so I may as well bring it up again:
Zell's hoverboard would be pretty swag

This. At least SE makes an effort to explain why things are and should be in the game.

Also, does it have to be Cloud's bike? Couldn't it be a motorcycle that doesn't look like it started its life as a 5-year-old's crayon drawing?

Now this makes more sense than anything on tires, plus it has the added bonus of its mount animation more or less already being in the game with the nimbus cloud mount.

While I would support a bike or a car for FF14, they wouldn't look like those. I'd expect them to be more like an allaghan or garlean version of what a car/bike might look like.

Imagine a 4-seater magitek on wheels

No thanks.

I could legitimately see some form of magiteck bike tying in with us going over to Garlemald. Sounds like a pretty solid CE mount to me.

FFXV's car is a bit much for my tastes tho. Whilst the Yokai mount might be equally as abhorrent, at least it's both small and amusing in the process

Do you make a new forum post every time you make a new blog post? why not just post all in 1 thread. You are essentially spamming.

I was about to ask the same thing. These topics are beginning to feel more like a promotion for his blog.

This is revealing. I hope they address the speed issue, since it was the reason they didn't implement it. Now with the speed boost implemented on certain maps, it can be a thing. Heck, make it a requirement to use it. -.-
