    I always assumed that the Terra WAS riding around in a Reaper. The "Predator" was just the devs (understandable) inability to adequately represent Amano's art in animated sprite form. (Still image monster sprites tend to be more faithfully rendered.) The same reason why the character sprites tend to look so little like Amano's work.

    Basically, saying that Terra's armor is different from magitek armor is like saying Terra herself is a different character than her portrait.

    Does FFVI itself ever specifically state that the armors Terra, Biggs, and Wedge were riding around in were a different model than the ones you fight?

    Would rather they actually go a different route since the Mogstation Magitek mounts actually use Imperial Will.

    I would much rather have it be a song like Imperium or have it be Liberty or Death as those are tied to the Garlean Empire (1.0 Garlean theme and Ala Mhigo dungeon respectively) and would be a better option for the two of them.

    I'd like the predator and sky armor to all get it honestly.

    The sky armor isn't something Terra was ever shown flying but it is taken from FF VI. So why not?

    The Reaper design is from the cutscenes in the PS1 port of FF VI and I think some art work, where as Predator is based on the actual in game design of the FFVI magitek armor, so It'd be neat if they both got it and not just the Reaper.

    It's not like they'd need a new song.

    On a related note I was sad that the Ultima Beast based in FFVI's Atma Wepaon/Ultima Weapon in fractal continiuem hard didn't get song from the first phase of the Warring Triad fights since in FFVI Atma Weapon and the WT all shared that boss theme.

    I believe they indicated somewhere that Amano's artwork is actually based on the sprites.
