Could Sleipnir fly?

It'd be really nice if Sleipnir could gain flight, I don't get much use out of it in Heavensward areas because its ground locked. :/

Lore wise it should.

Yeah, let's make the coeurl and unicorn fly too! And the warbear and the magitek armor! :P

You're right, FF9 and FFXIV *are* the same game. Nevermind the different titles, characters, and lore.

I agree, also why doesn't the Ahriman mount fly?

Sleipnir is depicted as a horse with each leg doubled. Sleipnir is one of Odin's favorite mounts, and can jump vast distances, and even occasionally fly.

Sleipnir:
It is Odin's gray eight legged horse. The horse is a magical horse, and the best of all horses. Sleipnir is the symbol of the wind, and has the marks of hell. Sleipnir can just as easily gallop through the air as on land. Sleipnir was a gift from Loki. Sleipnir is the child of Loki and Svadilfari.

According to the mythology where it was taken. It can. And no, Sleipnir is not being taken out of context in Final Fantasy, it's still Odin's steed. So, there.

Yes, it is believed Sleipnir could both fly and walk on water. It is mentioned in Skáldskaparmál that Odin was riding him thusly by Hrungnir.

With a stroke of its mane, it should be allowed to turn into a plane.

That's my suggestion.

According to the mythology sleipnir has 8 legs.
According to the mythology Odin uses a spear.

In FFIX he did, so it's canon

In addition to the Lore-ness of its flight ability, it is a $24 mount. It'd be nice to be able to continue using it.

While they make Sleipnir fly they should make a rainbow horse and make it fly and shoot rainbows!

It should fly for being $24.

Didn't SE say something about Primal Mount being able to fly in 3.0 areas a few months ago?

I don't remember the details but I remember the FF14 devs mentioning this.

outside of lore, i payed like 15 euro for it and they make all the ponies fly, so IMO it would be stupid if sleipnir could not fly.


and for everyone that will inevitably comee here and mock us for buying a mount with money, keep in mind that we just bought it for fun and supoport the development of the game you like to play.

Bumping this up.

They did say that they will eventually make all of the primal mounts fly, starting with Kirin first. Sleipnir is a primal mount, so that should be included, just as it was included when they gave the primal BGM's to the mounts.

The Ahriman mount will fly as well. So will the kobold mount I think.

They just haven't gotten to doing it yet for whatever reason.

Odin's horse is the origin for Santa's flying reindeer. Just throwing that out there. Sleipnir is best known in mythology as the horse Odin literally flies around on.

If you bought it to support the game like the saint you are why do you care if it flies? Just consider the money spent a donation to SE and never use it again.

fly horsie fly!

I hope they make Fenrir fly as well, seeing the effort it takes to get him and he does fly in Final Fantasy XI after all.

Too many legs for SE to handle in an MMO (he had four legs in FFXI as well, I think), probably.
Have you not fought Odin in his Trial or FATE?

As for the Fenrir mount being able to fly, no. They're just hoarhounds, nothing fancy.
