    Um, that's because it is a unicorn (the game outright identifies it as such!). This is a rather silly comment.

    The lore of the game is that horses are not native to Eorzea at all, only unicorns are - the few horses found there were imported from the Far East (such as the Grand Company warhorses), or are magical constructs like Odin's steed Slepinir, as chocobos are the preferred mount for the more rocky terrain.

    Besides, this is a Final Fantasy game, horses are usually rare in FF games anyway (chocobos are the usual replacement for transportation). They may introduce a plain saddleless horse mount in the future, as anything is possible, but it's unlikely.

    Yet we can visit the Far East since the release of the Stormblood expansion, so it would make perfect sense to be able to purchase a horse mount from the region to which it is native.

    I'm moreso implying we have a ton of the same exact horse models but they planted on "something" to change it into something magical. Idc if it's FF or not, it's an mmo and we have horses in every single other way at this point. I see no reason since hitting the east why we can't get the regular horses and the regular falcon from the falcon porters.

    Sometimes I wish the game would revisit Odin. The guy could host his own raid to be completely honest, and would be a great way to give him the respect he deserves and also open up some seriously kick arse glamours.
