    Western vs. Eastern style Dragons

    Personally I always admired the western style dragons in most everything Cartoons, games, and especially tattoos. What do you guys think?

    I'm not much of a fan of eastern dragons, which are basically flying snakes. Western depictions of dragons have them more beastly in appearance and I rather prefer it this way. Eastern dragons would actually look very odd in a final fantasy game, which tends to draw more from western mythology.

    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'm just upset that evolution favored smaller more agile fauna over mega fauna. Pretty sure that a Velociraptor with wings would survive better than a common chicken. We'd also have irlzies chocobos.

    Flora was bigger, too. Not big enough to hide a T-Rex at all times, but it wasn't until after the mass-extinction that smaller plants like Grass (OMG) were able to thrive.
