    It's for this exact reason why I wouldn't want it in the game. If it was the only super high speed mount, then suddenly every single other mount in the game would cease to be useful and would become nothing but trophies unless they could match the speed. Every single player would literally only be riding this mount for the effect wither they actually liked it or not.

    They can make it as slow as the others, even make a big notice in the product details on the Mog Station, people will still buy it fully knowing what they get themselves into.

    Because bikes.

    And the Mana Cutter doesn't look stupid at ground mount speed? How is this any different?

    Difference being that the Mana Cutter was designed with flight in mind. The motorcycle is not.

    So was the turtle with the ground, but see what SE did with it. Now I will believe anything.

    You can bet that a good amount of people will be ready to throw their money on the screen for this, especially when the FF7 Remake is going to hit.
    All they need to do is to touch up on the quality, add some animations and basically they are done with it.

    I reiterate from my previous post... the issue isn't the quality or the animations, it's the mount speed. Watch the whole video... the first showing of it is how they would want it to look and feel as a real mount in the game. The second showing is the version with the current ground mount speed. They can't make it the speed they want it because then it would be horribly skewed to people who bought the thing and they'd have to increase the ground mount speed of everything else which would then look ridiculous for them.

    The players probably wouldn't care if it's as slow as any of the other mounts.

    They can get a bike.
