Western vs. Eastern style Dragons

[Fadedhost]

In my mind dragons are the apex predator of any Fantasy world, bringing fear and death from the sky and that's why Western style dragons are so popular for Game bosses, main antagonist and the driving force behind main quests stretched across a wide variety of amazing fantasy stories. This fear carries over into real life as well in war planes (Death from the Sky) that is why I think Dragons still work. Watch the skies!

your wearing an armor set, inspired by the far east.

Im more talking about ppl saying about face looks, not armor sets.

I don't know which I like more, I just think that S|E did an amazing job of making Bahamut look like a global catastrophe, compared to the weak-sauce that Blizzard tossed out there.

My sig. Read it.

They should make and RPG where you play a western/eastern dragon, then roam around killing/skilling/growing into a mean brute of a monster Dragon!

Rawr! ^^f(>.>)f^^

i mean, technically deathwing messes up a pretty large percentage of azeroth. so it's really not a case of him "failing" to destroy the world and bahamut "succeeding"- especially since bahamut clearly doesn't succeed. there are survivors in 2.0 who weren't even saved by our lovely time paradox. we're also not really sure just how much devastation bahamut did, as we only get to see it on a fairly small scale.

the only thing we can really objectively compare is how long it took deathwing to destroy as much as he did vs. how long it took bahamut to do his damage. in that sense we can probably say bahamut did quite a lot more damage in a much shorter timeframe. but in the end both dragons failed to ultimately destroy their respective worlds.

jussayin'!

While western dragons do look more aggressive and dangerous... I must say that I would love to see some Eastern dragons in FF, just because they look elegant and pretty...

I guess that there could be both types... I still don't know why game developers always follow one or another, would it be so bad in having both?

How I see it... while a western dragon could easily be a "warrior" type, eastern is a "mage" type :P

then we could get into that Roe should be melee chars, and Lals should be mages only and Miq dex classes.

...I disagree.

that's kinda hybrid of east/west.
