Doom Train and Moon Content

[Richard]

I think that a train would fit the garlean empire, airships have the freedom of the sky but trains are stuck on rails. Which would fit the garleans need to control the populace in their borders not to mention they more than have the technology to do it.

A train that served only an immersion/graphical purpose seen in the background of a certain area is a GREAT idea and would definitely fit the magitek heavy Garlean Empire.

But for actual transportation nah it's pointless. A train would do the same thing an airship does...but on the...ground...

They could easily just give a lore reason as to why certain methods of transport of forbidden or preferred in certain regions.

We know the Garlean Empire is pretty much a fascist state whose government likes to keep its citizens under its total control. It therefore stands to think that in order to maintain its control over the populace that the only type of transportation allowed to everyday citizens would be via land travel(I.E. trains) since they can establish and control checkpoints at various locations and following this reasoning, air and sea vessels are prohibited to all but the military.

And bam, there's your potential lore justification.

As for what they could use them for? Well the sky's the limit. Use your imagination for crying out loud.

As for Final Fantasy games that have had trains, who cares? Every one that had one had a cool +1 bonus.
