Fenrir: Obtained! Minor Request!

My long and consistent one and a half month grind of 25k MGP a day has finally paid off as I obtained my Fenrir mount this morning, ascending the ranks of those before me who had done the Imperial Grind as well as the TT tournies before me to get this wonderful mount.

Now that I have it, I feel like there's something missing from it. Aside from the 1 Million MGP Price Tag, This thing has no special abilities.
I know from the start of my grind that Fenrir did not have any special abilities like Magiteck or Twintania. I have finally been able to see this mounts walking, running, and jumping animations. But with how long it could potentially take someone to obtain this mount with an unstoppable dedication, should it not have an action to go with it?

I was thinking of an action similar to it's boss counterpart where it strikes a stance and howls into the sky would be perfect! (With included howling sound!)

C'mon SE give those who have yet to get this mount a new purpose to grind it!

If you think this is a complaint, I'd hate to know what a request/suggestion looks like. o.O

For 1mil MGP they shoulda had it fly at least (dont ask how just do it..!)

I can live without it flying. >.> It's just like everyone wants every mount to fly. There are some mounts that just aren't meant to.

It should use its tails like helicopter blades. Fenrircopter!

Congrats on the mount!

Unstoppable dedication? What? If someone where to choose to purposely grind for this mount, that's fine, but a grind isn't needed by any means. Hell, at some point everyone will have this mount because you can get it without even trying. Just logging in and doing the Mini and Jumbo cactpots, and nothing else, will eventually net you the 1,000,000 MGP you need. So yes, you can try to get this mount and you can not try to. Eventually everyone will have the MGP to buy it whether they want it or not. So "unstoppable dedication" is a bit extreme to call a mount that doesn't really require any skill to get if you just rely on luck. If the mount was locked behind Snowcloak Mega-savage that only 5% of the playerbase has the ability to beat, then yes, that would require "unstoppable dedication" to eventually obtain.

Huh, I've actually never gotten such a close up look at fenrir's mouth before...that looks gross. o.o

Kinda rethinking saving up for him now.

Yeah, he's got quite the "gonk" face. I think it's a shame that his face looks closer to Midgardsormr's than an actual wolf.

Then again, the wolf mobs in this game are reskinned "hound" mobs from XI, which look nothing like your typical wolf. Quite frankly, the new Tiger mob from 3.0 is the only thing without a beak/ is a monster I'd consider to be a mount looking forward to.

nah, don't need a special ability after they have lowered the price to 200k MGP with 3.1 :x

Turtle is much better.

Gratz anyway you deserve it.

Regardless of other posts and suggestions, congratulations on getting fenrir! Ive been working at it lately too and set a goal of 20k a day but I've started to slack on it recently

chocobo hatchlings have more pixels and polygons than fenrir mount.

Grats on reaching your goal! I think a howl ability would be awesome.

Can I ask what your method of farming MGP was? Triple Triad?

I was half expecting him to be asking for the XI phase effect... this is worse. Not much worse but still. I mean, what kind of special action would you want? The only one that's appropriate for Fenrir is a howl and... well, I don't see that being 'good enough' for someone of such 'unstoppable dedication'.

Farming Indolent Imperial in Mor Dhona was my main source of MGP.

I prefer to buy Cloud card instead of this. The eyes on this mount can't close and just for this detail I don't like it.

While I can't note if it's been confirmed or not, I do believe the devs were surprised at the lack of jackpot winners in Cactpot. Seriously, out of all the people playing across all servers, only around 400 total have won the million token prize (as of the last time they showed statistics for it). But then these are the same devs that thought everyone was rife with properly earned gil a while back, too... I wouldn't be surprised if the fenrir mount does get discounted in the light of this.

I'd love to just chill out with this mount one day.
I think giving it a howling animation would be pretty cool.
Hope the devs don't give it the cold shoulder and forget about it.

Shame that with flying here in 3.1, I feel most grounded mounts won't get much attention besides Kirin and I think the Primal ponies, since I think they were going to give them flight later on.

While I don't think Fenrir needs to fly, I would not mind giving it some kind of ability or emote. Even adding it's own music like Snowcloaks would be fine for me.

Ohh yeah Snowcloak theme for Fenrir would be nice!
