Thanalan - train tracks... what are they for?

[KittytheSheGeek]

I always thought that Doomtrain as a roaming primal like Odin would be an awesome thing to have in the game.

Basically, he would appear and he would begin his journey across the map. People wanting to fight him would need to stop him before he reached the end. Just the idea of fighting Doomtrain over a roaming Fate would be awesome.

Ever since beta I've been basically praying that one day Doomtrain becomes a FATE like Odin/Behemoth and will ride through Thanalan assaulting people.

Make it so we have to board to fight him, riding through the zone killing him while he just throws out massive uncleansable debuffs on people as he passes by.

Please.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this hope xD

I want them to add regular trains that you can get hit by and go flying comically through the air.

[Daranion]

An NPC even says "If you wait long enough you may even see one of those trains come steaming by" Or something to that effect. Waited for hours, and no train. Guess no cereleum to deliver that day.

Only way I would want Doomtrain in the game is if they get the rights to use this song. Even just the medley would be fine kind of like how they used the medley from Nightmare Before Christmas on the King Moogle Trial.

They didn't.

They didn't.

Yes they did, they have even come out and said as much, it was ripped from Nightmare Before Christmas, they could do it because they have previous relations with Disney/Touchstone with using the song in the Kingdom Hearts game (Halloween-town)

Listen to that and tell me that its not the same when those moogles are giving their names, they ripped Nightmare Before Christmas, Mog's Theme from FFVI and Critter Tripper Fritter from FFV, but the cadence is absolutely taken from Nightmare. But that is a completely different topic.

On topic: I could have sworn Yoshi-P said when they were showcasing the new maps (before 2.0 actually launched) that it was in fact tracks for a train not for minecarts.

Nobuo Uematsu composed the moogle theme in 1992 and was first used in FFV

"This is Halloween" was composed in 1993.

Can you provide a source to back up this statement? The only other place I have seen it mentioned, was a comment on a Youtube video.

[DefendPopPunk]

I've always wondered about this, too...what are the train tracks for and can we get some trains on them? It would be fun to have one just going around, even if you can't ride on it, but riding on it would also be cool. Just for fun.

They were planned to be tracks for carts before ARR was released I think
