Along with Sleipnir's Emote, may we please have the option to Dye his Mane?

For the price tag, I think it'd be nice for us to be able to dye the steed's mane.

I like the burnt auburn color but it clashes with so many of my armors.

For having paid $24USD, I think that's a good little bonus.

For now, there are other things that need to be implemented in a much higher priority so we cannot include these suggestions in the current schedule, but we’ll add them to the list of ideas to be used in the future.

We're supposed to in the future! Really, for the price, it deserves one (and a dyeable mane).

Oh that's good news!

And yeah, I'd like to dye Sleipnir, whole coat (since the real Sleipnir of legend is supposed to be gray-coated)... and... six-legged...

Shh... don't give them ideas :P

Sleipnir honestly should've come with a free month for its price tag.

I'm opting to suggest for alternatives to justify the price.

Like how the metallic dyes should give you 3 instead of 1 or the past seasonal items should be half the cost they are now...

please add rainbow dye also for the singular purpose of giving sleipnir a rainbow mane, im counting on you squee.

As it isnt awful enough that every... [...] can ride sleipnir like its a pony.. you want to dye itnow in rainbow and other colors..

Not to talk about many "shity" mounts in this game... it kills the atmosphere.. really

Well, again, Sleipnir is supposed to be gray. So Square Enix was the one to dye him before anyone else!

Meanwhile, Sleipnir could have been a rare drop coming from Urth's Fount...
To people like me, it will never look like something worth to get, cash shop items doesn't have any value in my eyes.
It show nothing ingame, except that you own a credit card.

And Odin is supposed to have a great beard.

This isn't based on mythology, Sleipnir in the game, is the name given to the horse of the primal, Odin. Not the norse god, Odin. They can make it into a pink dinosaur if they wanted to.

More than anything, I'd like to see it get a little TLC, in regards to its mane. Something about I just looks "off", like the animation should be more "wavy" or something.

Ironically, I'm actually hoping the Au Ra will get a hair-color similar to Sleipnir's mane, since the game doesn't currently seem to support "auburn" hair colors. I feel like that hair-color, coupled with dark skin and black horns, would make for a pretty solid Dark Knight!

they didn't have plans to make odin a trail until after it was in the cash shop and by then if i recall correctly they said it would be unfair to the people who bought the horse. there was heavy talks of odin shield being in odin trail as a possible item to replace slepnir.

They already got your money for the mount, they won't give it to you for free.

Or that you just like the mount in the store? not every single piece of vanity should be about showing off.

And you really believe that? We are not talking about a little mistake! It's Sleipnir... A very most iconic mount in the final fantasy serie, it even have its own FMV with Odin when you open the game.

They just wanted some quick money from their fans. Don't be fooled.

When it come to a legendary mount as Sleipnir linked to a very important primal as Odin, yes it should be all about showing off and not a cheap cash shop item in a pay to play game.

the idea of the slepnir mount in the cash shop was basically for any mounts that wouldn't make sense story wise, or lore wise yet is requested by the fans, the ADS mount almost made it into the cash shop and soon fenrir will most likely join in the cash shop. yes it was a cash grab but at the time they had no plans for odin as a trail he was meant to stay as a fate but after the cash shop SE got a large amounts of requests to have a odin trail.
the way you are meant to see odin is a single entity slepnir technically dosnt exist, the whole being horse and all is odin. thats where it gets to a fuzzy grey line.
plus after they made the trail they already had slepnir in the cash shop so they couldn't add him to the trial.
you saying "don't beleave there lies" is just trying to point the finger of blame at them not for bad timing which is what happened but for whatever reason you think justify's your argument.

Thanks for the interesting idea!

The ability to dye chocobo companions was originally included as a special feature just for our fine feathered friends. If we were to introduce the ability to dye mounts, it would take significant dev. focus away from other tasks at the moment.

With the release of Heavensward approaching, the development team has many tasks that take top priority, but we’ll make sure to use this idea for future discussions.

Everything is a matter of subjective opinion man, ADS mount in the cash shop would had looked more "legitimate" in a way, since ADS got discarded as a regular monster that you can find in a lot of places since turn2. (Even though, I prefer to see it coming from achievements, even if it come from PVP achievements)
But there is only 1 Odin at a time, same for Sleipnir, we are talking about an Elder Primal and its mount :p not a trash mob from many other, but again if you want to see "fuzzy grey line" there... Let's ride Twintania, Nael, Bahamut or Hildibrand(lol) and make them buyable from cash shop! Who care right? They are all coming from side quests or side storyline of the game.

You and and me will never agree on that point though, while you seems to be a "pro-cashshoper", I'm totally against it and nothing will change this.
Also, contents and projects are planned months and sometimes years before their releases, just waiting somewhere in a folder to get back to "real life", we are not talking about some amateurs who works from their parents cellar -.-; It's Square Enix, they are professionals.
If you still believe that Sleipnir wasn't meant to be an important "best-seller" in the cashshop since long and that they will "never ever" design any kind of Odin trial in the future... Let's not continue arguing then.

1) i am not pro-cashshopper i dislike cashshops strongly
2) yoshi-p admitted himself when asked at fanfest, the odin trail was only made due to fan request to fight the FATE mob in a single trial.
3) Slepnir was chosen for the cash shop due to his side story and the fact he was requested. this was due to them unsure how meny odin mantles would seem enough, as well as an intisive to the shop. yes they wanted a reason to go to the shop and they didn't know how to implement slepnir, its 2 birds one stone
and finally 4) to compare "amatures who work in there parents celler" to a triple A company in 2015? ha thats kinda funny since companies like Ubisoft EA and 737 indastries three major triple a gaming companies have created broken work or work that dons even seem to be coherant while some indie games have more quality to them.
company or not they are made to basic mistakes just like an indie game and sometimes ideas are created spontaniously with requests and then having to work around it.
remember it was not just the EU or US who just requested slepnir it was a heavy request from the DE FR and JP players as well. it was the single most requested mount in the game.

just because a company is just that, a company, dose not mean they are perfect in there planning. everyone makes simple mistakes, and since they listen to there fans they will come across them more frequently.

but now i am done with this argument, it is clear when someone only wishes to see perfection with a company, do some game design courses and study, i spent nearly 7 years in game design, and i can see the fact they messed up with there timings.

Wasn't the cash shop announced at Fanfest ? Where the odin trial was already playable ? And where they kept saying that it would be added to the game eventually? So from what i can see Slepnir was a cash grab and could have easily been added as a drop to the trial.

*takes deep breath*

Eight legs. Sleipnir had eight legs. Mythology-wise, that is.
I already threw a tantrum back when FFVI was still called FFIII here in the west and had to be played with an NTSC-converter and I noticed they'd removed two of his legs. (I grew up with Norse mythology, so... yeah ^^; )
Now, when they've removed another pair of legs off of him... No. I can't think of it as Sleipnir. It's just a black horse with back problems. And with a very tiny head. (Compare: normal horse profile vs shire horse profile vs 'Sleipnir' profile ;_; )

I'd just like to be able to ride this mount with my hands on some reins rather than oddly crossed against my chest. I completely regret the mount purchase because of that. It looks ridiculous.

The short, stumpy horse legs aren't helping either. You've got its belly almost dragging on the ground.

hi I was wondering if any of the Directx 11 improvements be coming to the ps4 when the heavensward expansion is released many thanks
