    If Sleipnis is the only thing that makes Odin "special", then he has much bigger problems in concept and design than whether players get Sleipnir as a rare mount.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.

    Yeah, like fighting Odin for a horse mount. Never mind the fact he's an Elder Primal. We may as well fight Bahamut just for bragging rights and no loot.

    I'm not the one thinking the world will end if defeating Odin rewards the raid that does so with a rare mount. And I'm sure it'll be part of a loot pool. And I'm sure Zantetsuken, Gungnir and some neat pieces of armor would be there as well.

    I think the funny thing is, if this blog post wasn't posted you wouldn't honestly see requests for Odin's horse as loot from fighting him. (Never mind the fact Yoshida said there won't be real rewards from FATES and we know Odin is a FATE battle.)

    The thought has crossed my mind, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Not to mention it gives the mount collectors something to strive for, which is always a good thing.

    What I take issue with is the asinine arguments like "b-but 0d1n iz less speshul if u g3t t3h h0rse! ".

    Funny blog post but a big no to the Sleipnir mount for players. Yeah it'd be badass to ride Sleipnir, but it doesn't mean we should have it. Sleipnir is the one-of-a-kind horse that Odin rides. It's not the only thing that makes Odin special, but it's definitely one of the most iconic about him. Things that make NPCs unique should stay with the NPCs imo and we shouldn't just start asking for these things the moment we see them. Sometimes a parent needs to say no so the child doesn't become spoiled...
