Just saw the latest Dev. Blog and got really excited because I thought we were getting Odin's horse as a mount... Nope, just project manager M playing with Dev tools.....
I would have really enjoyed this as an epic mount.
Sleipner mount! (I wish)

I dunno, I think it'd make Odin less special if everyone could ride around on his horse.

I don't know, all I'm imagining right now is Odin chasing after that lalafell screaming, "GIVE ME BACK MY *&%$*^@ HORSE!"

06-26-2013, 02:40 AMElexiaYeah, but "Other MMOs lets you do bosses and get their mount or some other mount drop so it makes sense if we fight Odin and get his mount."Quote:

I do not want to see 300x Sleipner either, but it was a super cute blog entry either way.

Omg I'd kill in real life to have that!!

06-26-2013, 03:06 AMDuelleIf Sleipnis is the only thing that makes Odin "special", then he has much bigger problems in concept and design than whether players get Sleipnir as a rare mount.Quote:

Hell yeah, dude. It's not going to be where everyone is going to have Odin drops. Only the dedicated.. only the strong.
-
06-26-2013, 03:18 AMDuelleI'm thinking something along the lines of Ashes of Al'ar from WoW: 2% drop rate that is part of a bigger loot pool.Quote:

06-26-2013, 04:41 AMArkhamNativeThis is my thought. He's not a sleipnir, he's the Sleipnir. If Odin is one of the defeat/charge/summon primals, maybe somehow a member of the defeating party/company gets to ride him during the 2 week period, one at a time. Somehow.Quote:

Funny blog post but a big no to the Sleipnir mount for players. Yeah it'd be badass to ride Sleipnir, but it doesn't mean we should have it. Sleipnir is the one-of-a-kind horse that Odin rides. It's not the only thing that makes Odin special, but it's definitely one of the most iconic about him. Things that make NPCs unique should stay with the NPCs imo and we shouldn't just start asking for these things the moment we see them. Sometimes a parent needs to say no so the child doesn't become spoiled...

06-26-2013, 08:43 AMMaxthunderThis isn't any other MMO, best to remember that. You will find the community as a whole (majority) not to want this too happen. Also why do you want it, players will have other mounts.Quote:

Maybe not Odin's horse, but I would love to see special mounts as drops that maybe go faster than other mounts etc etc.
Also let's be honest, even though many of us might not want to see the awesomeness of Odin's ride bestowed to players, we'd all want to ride it if we could lol.
GIDDYAP! -
06-26-2013, 09:10 AMSkyeWindbinderWell, I don't know about Odin being "less special", but it'd be kind of weird to me to be able to control his mount. I mean, first of all, isn't Sleipnir (hope I spelled that right) a part of the summon? As in, he is a summoned creature just like his master? Riding around on Sleipnir would be akin to being able to get a piggy back ride across Eorzea from Odin himself. Hm. :/Quote:

I kind of want Clouds bike from Advent Children but well, I won't be too shocked if I don't get it.

06-27-2013, 12:11 AMMjollnirI seem to remember NVD had an airship buddy that he could use in combat, so it must be something they'll introduce alongside gunblades.Quote:

06-27-2013, 05:51 AMAlaltusIt IS Sleipnir. Fernehalwes said so himself in the blog. FF Summons don't strictly follow the mythology they are taken from.Quote:
