Sleipnir and Flying

[Jandor]

I thought people only purchased things from the MogStation to support the devs and make FFXIV a better game for everyone.

Seriously though, buying something because it might become something you want in the future is a bit ... silly. Just wait until it is what you want. Where is the incentive to put work into making it fly if people keep buying it when it doesn't?

I purchase things that are useful and/or look cool. The reason that I purchased the $25.00 mount was because I was led to believe it would also fly in Stormblood.

If you wanted to buy a flying Sleipnir, you should have waited till a flying Sleipnir existed. You knew it wasn't yet what you wanted and bought it anyway. You're not even sure if it was actually said that it would fly, your first post is checking that that's actually the case.
I just don't understand the thought process here.

No I didn't.

No I didn't.

That's your own fault for coming to an incorrect conclusion. Yoshi never said it would fly on SB launch. He said they plan for it to fly during SB, but not when. Also every other mount on Mogstation states they can fly, while Odin does not.

For the millionth time we've heard this on XIV forums this week: Do your research before you transfer to Omega....ugh, I mean, do your research before you confirm ANYTHING. Ever.

Slightly off-topic, but did he say the same about the primal ponies?

No.

・デブチョコボも空を飛べる。あるクエストをクリアすることで飛べるように。
・アーリマンやボム、蛮神馬マウントも飛ぶ。まずは麒麟が飛べるように？
・グゥーブー等も皆の声が大きければ飛べるようになるかも？

The text in red is the main line in question. It refers to kirin as a barbarian horse, then asking 'can it fly?' in a joking manner. For some reason, people disconnected the context. This is the only mention of horse/steed I can find. Other interviews mention Ahriman, Kirin, Bomb Palanquin, and Logistics System, but not once did they mention multiple horseS.

Unless you have other interviews that are from the source; I'd be willing to look at those. (I'm also looking for one that mentions the tank mounts flying.)
