Request: Sleipnir mount rework

[Yasuhiro]

Behemoth is a mount given for anyone who keeps and active account for 8 months and TT is given to you for recruiting a friend and them keeping an active account for 8 months. What relevance do they have to Cash shop mounts ?

They're not talking about that they're talking about how magnificent these monsters are and how they're trivialized in XIV since everyone can get one
example, meeting a behmoth in a dungeon in any other FF game could mean a game over but now everyone can just put a saddle on them and ride them.
I personally don't mind, it's just for fun and people obviously like it. I don't play enough FFXIV to care but I can see why other people are bothered by it.

I'm not sure about the missing leg, but IMO it will eventually fly. The question is where is sleipnir on the devs' priority list though :P

[TheGrimace]

Making it fly is fine. It's a magical creature that may not even be a horse, but could be taking the form of a horse to make its original rider appear more inconspicuous. Who knows what it truly is or if it's linked to Zantetsuken or Ragnarok or Urth or Allag or whatever. There's no lore actively preventing flight! Giving it magical flight powers makes more sense than the Adamantoise and Fenrir (which are both still awesome) so the only people arguing against this are just actively being grumps.

[Mug]

There could be many reasons why they're not prioritising this. Maybe there isn't that many people who have the mount? Or maybe they just think it's better to prioritise mounts that are not part of the cash shop? The latter would definitely be a very noble reason.

As far as the 8-leg thing goes, SE have always borrow wildly from different mythologies and religions, but have added their own flavour to them. I think this is perfectly fine, so I don't really mind that Sleipnir is missing some legs.

is there any way to address the subject of this topic directly to devs or GM's?

i tried twitter, but i dont think theyre goin to read

It would be nice if it did get the ability to fly. Otherwise I like it the way it is, doesn't need any sort of design overhaul.

Can't wait until we get swimming mounts if we get a underwater style expansion and traversal method.

"I payed good money for my Zu mount! Why can't he swim!"

[Yasuhiro]

Looks like buyers remorse is setting in for some people.

I keep asking for primal ponies to be able to fly and that has gone no where.

Well Ramuh and Garuda mounts should fly, the others I'm fine with not flying
