The Sleipnir Mount

[SummonerSenah]

It's also account wide, so all characters can access it. I have three characters, so technically Sleipnir was just $8 for each of them.

Show me what a Roe looks like riding it, then I'll care.

I had 1100 crysta left over from years ago so I added on 13 bucks and bought this mount. It's my only horse mount it wasn't hard to say yes to buying it. I can say without a shred of doubt that at this point in time I have zero plans to ever buy anything from the cash shop again. I figure the only way that will change is if some day there's something cooler than this mount to buy. I just can't think of anything that would make that so, unless they start going down that flying mount in cash shop path and saving the coolest shit to cash in on. That's how STO did things with starships to great success, as much as everyone hated them for doing it.

So unless that happens, I have made my first and last purchase in the XIV cash shop, and I'm not even going to get into that whole earn/buy items debate. It's XIV, not XI. I saw this coming back in beta, and mark my words the next thing that will come is this game's version of dilithium ore. Crysta is already in place for it.

Needs a special animation like how the Drake breathes fire & etc.

I hate the primal horses because of the glowing effects. Sleipnir is really up my alley and I hope there are less glowy effects in the future. (Unless they're allagan-ish) I do think some nice mount music would be fitting if I were to complain about anything.

Don't really like horses they all look stupid on Roegadyn wish the horses were more muscular/heavy in their torso

Around $25 is about what I expected the price tag to be for the mount, as that is how much Blizzard charges for vanity mounts in WoW. However, as much as I may want the mount, my budget doesn't have THAT much wiggle room.

Nice video! Thanks for posting. I wish it didn't bother me so much that Sleipnir on this game is four legged instead of the six legged one I loved in previous games though. It just doesn't feel like Sleipnir.

It really should have its own theme. Every mount should have a different tune while riding

I think the mount looks pretty cool.

Is it worth the $24? No way at all.

I probably would have been interested in buying it if it was something like $5-$8. That's a much more reasonable price for something that is merely an aesthetic mount with no other bonuses.
It's not as if it provides a faster means of travel that would justify a larger price tag. No, it's only a visual difference and hardly worth the price tag given to it.

I obviously won't be purchasing it anytime soon, or at all if the price tag never drops to something reasonable.

Also, minions should only run $2 a piece given they are such a minor thing already, and so incredibly small and purely vanity. There's no point in paying more for something so miniscule.

SE would be selling a lot more of these had they decided to go with more reasonable pricing.

I'll support A Realm Reborn by continuing my subscription, but you won't see me wasting real money on overpriced vanity items. It's just not smart.
