They do intend more egi glam, like Sephirot and Ramuh. Everything that was in the expansion was higher priority so that pushes side stuff out many more months. There's a huge backlog of planned content at the moment but a load of little things will get crossed off the list with the 4.1 patch.

The only issue is which mount have been updated. Why is it the Kirin, Ahrimen, Magiteks, Gil Turtle, and Fenrir were updated right away, but the single, exclusive, uniquely modeled, cash shop mount is still not updated?

Well it makes sense that they make the Magitek and the Ahriman able to fly first because a lot more people have it.

Well, the Ahriman is Veterans, and two of the Magitek options are cash shop. So money.

Again, it's curious to me since Sleipnir (sp?) was a consistent top tier seller in the cash shop, behind only Fantasias and weddings. No one buys it anymore, since it can't fly.

I wouldnt go that far. But im sure 99% of the ppl that look at it and consider buying it, pulls off the moment they realize it can't fly.

I think the issue isn't a debate on whether it should or shouldn't be able to fly - its more that I swear Squeenix said on a few occasions that they were going to fix it so it could fly.

It's really odd that they haven't yet.

Yup. I think the discussions have been kept on that line so far.

They've been planning this for awhile, but who knows when it'll actually happen.

They never said when they'd actually push Sleipnir being able to fly. They only hinted that it'd happen in Stormblood. Basically, any time between since Stormblood dropped (June 20, 2017) all the way until the possibility of April 2019 (going off the assumption that 5.0 would be sometime in June 2019).

I would prefer they made primal ponies fly first but yes, if they said the ugliest horse in Eorzea would fly then SE must oblige!...

Sleipner is too fat for female Miqo'te, is not nice the way we must sit on it, I wish SE would allow us to ride this mount sidesaddle, that would make it more attractive too!...
