So any chance of old/new ff game easter egg mounts?

Ff8 had motorcycles to... hell they were launched from an airship and landed from football field sized drops just fine on uneven surfaces lol. I drive motorcycles, unless they got massive shocks, thats an instant wreck.

Speaking of FFVII Remake: Hope you'll do a special PS4 or PS5 with Cloud on it, like this Darth Vader coming soon..

YES please!!! I have the ps3 FF Advent version but I had to import it from abroad.
If you guys going to make a ps4 ff7 version please also sell it in the EU ;_; or EU store I am still patiently waiting to have a good reason to buy a ps4!

and about the bike who cares if its slow :P just add a little extra ability (like the ff6 mech or twintania) with a mini sprint, make it rev or make it do a wheelie or something

Oval-shaped ADS mount?

I wish this could become as another alternative ADS mount who don't like frontline

Well, in regards to some 'interesting' mount ideas... During the recent 14-hour broadcast, Yoshi-P mentioned that the dev. team actually recreated Cloud's motorcycle as a mount and had it running in-game; however, since it was a ground mount, it was much slower than they wanted it to be and therefore they decided not to add it.

How about a system enhancement where ground mounts go flight speed once you have unlocked flying? (At least in that area, although being able to go faster everywhere once you've unlocked all flight paths everywhere would also be cool).

I dont see why they cant just make a turbo speed ability for it. Like how we have sprint. Mechanized choco mount has firing options for fun.

This is like telling us, "We were going to add something you really would have loved to have in game. The devs even had everything ready to go, but sorry kiddos, you can't have it." Funny that it's mentioned that the mount was "much slower than they wanted it to be..." when it seems that logic would indicate that the devs could code the bike to go as fast as they want. Unless all mounts are tied to a certain string of code dictating their speed?

Sorry, not trying to be rude. Just pointing out that it's such a tease to tell us what you told us! ha ha It would be the same as if I said, "Hey! I cooked you a nice juicy steak, just the way you like it, but it had a little piece of fat on it that I just couldn't stand the sight of so I tossed it out, and now you can't have it. Sorry." lol :P

You should relay to the dev team that we definitely do want Cloud's bike, and we don't want it on the cash shop, but obtainable in game! Please?

I would guess they've put all mounts on the same "speed" modifier, yes. And their "slower than they wanted" means basically that the speed set for mounts on the ground doesn't look good with a motorbike, unless you're putt-putt-putt cruising. Sure, they probably could modify the system to make it go faster than other ground mounts, but changing the speed balance by making one mount 'superior' in terms of speed isn't a good thing. Especially if they sold it on the Mogstation; it would make even more people cry p2w.

One thing I've been wanting since day one, however, is a 'mounted sprint', whether they call it 'spur' or something else (spur is the first word that comes to mind, but on the other hand spurs aren't necessarily animal-friendly). With such a system in place, it'd be fine (IMO) to have a motorbike puttering at the 'normal' mount speed, revving up when you hit the 'mount sprint' button. And Twelve know we're not really using that TP while mounted anyway ^_~

Well obviously the solution is to make the motorbike fly then!

/s, I'm just parodying the people who want the Goobbue, Fenrir, or the Tortoise to fly.

I don't see a reason not to increase ground mount speed though, if only by 50-100%. It's painfully slow in comparison to flying, and in a few interviews they said they might increase flying speed, so the speed difference will become more apparent.

While I probably wouldn't mind it if they did increase it, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to do so when the old areas are still the sizes they are today. Sure, some areas *coughLowerLaNosceacough* are obnoxious to traverse if you need to get to one end from the other, but in general I think it would only further the 'give me the goal NAO' mindset if they increased the speed the way things are now.
They have mentioned that making it possible to fly in old areas would require to re-create them with that in mind, and I'm kind of hoping they'll either expand them or merge some of them together if/when they do that. And if all areas, old and new, are more similar in size to the HW areas, then there wouldn't really be a problem increasing mount speed.

As for flying bikes... I'm sure they could make some neat animation to make the bike go from rolling-on-the-ground to hovering-in-the-air (like some movies do where cars go into flight mode by turning the wheels horizontal and somehow having those be the source of the anti-grav/jet-beams or whatever it is that makes the vehicle hover or fly). And with Allagan technology being what it is, and the Empire continuously scavenging and studying said technology, it doesn't really strike me as too implausible to introduce a motorbike somewhere down the line and have it fly. That way, it also wouldn't be as obvious a yoink! from FF7, but more a very strong nod in its direction, similar to the magitech mount's nod to FF6.

That's...not what an "easter egg" is. An "Easter Egg" is something semi-hidden that you stumble across.
