Patch Notes are up!

I didn't realize Sleipnir is included in their "primal horse" list, I mean.. It is.. but I suppose I just didn't connect them mentally due to how you get him.

I guess that means they will probably intend to make him fly too, since they said primal mounts will fly.

I don't recall them saying that all Primal Mounts will fly, only that Kirin will be able to fly.

During Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX, Yoshida mentioned that while it won't be ready at the launch of Heavensward, we do plan on making it so existing mounts become flying mounts, and this includes Ahriman, Kirin, Bomb Palanquin, and Logistics System. In order to make this happen, both takeoff and landing animations will have to be created for each mount, so this will be a gradual process. You can expect to fly with each one eventually though, so keep your eyes peeled for more information in the future!

I've never had the chance to quote myself before so I had to lol, the news is recent, someone else also had the question you had :P

Unless it was accidental wording, "Ahriman and Bomb mount (from Kobolds) as well as primal horses will all fly. First one to fly will be Kirin.". Source.

Kirin will be the first, but all primal horses will at some point fly (although "first" was phrased with a question mark lol). Sleipnir would technically be a primal horse.

Direct 2nd party (i.e. from SE US staff) info trumps a 4th party (reader) translation of a 3rd party (online magazine) interview.

Ok, well it would fit the norse mythology that Sleipnir can fly. Still misses 4 legs though (Sleipnir has 8 in the mythology).
