When I first started I had planned to be a SMN, however I had chosen Elvaan for my race and everything I read about the SMN job basicly said Elvaan and Galka don't make very good SMNs (an unfortunate lie I happened to believe at the time) so I decided I would go with a Damage dealing job. When I first saw the Dragoon's wyvern, I decided I wanted to play that job. I fell in love with job even more after unlocking it as the story of the job's quest was rather enjoyable for me. I played DRG for awhile and loved and then the day came when I got penta-thrust! and then ONE DAY LATER the TP nerf update happened. For awhile DRGs were considered gimp DDs and I almost gave the job up until I discovered a sort of pride in the job. It was fun for me to see a DRG, be given the "Dragoon Secret Handshake" and then continue on my way, and I play the game for fun so that was all that mattered to me. Also I thought the AF looked freakin' awesome lol. After DRG, I had of course learned much about the game and no longer held the closed-minded concept that Elvaan couldn't make good SMNs and so I leveled SMN myself, but I found I didn't hold the same love for it as I did for DRG. I've leveled other jobs and I now have DRG SMN PLD NIN BLM and MNK at 90 but DRG is the job I consider my main. It's the job I think of first when deciding what gear I want to claim or the job I want to be on when I'm completing a storyline mission (I know I'm kind of weird) and there's a strange pride about it.

I am a proud Dragoon.
