How To Train Your Dragon distinctly comes to mind as a story of how that doesn't matter one bit.

I miss my little Pfeil :( A dragoon's wyvern minion would be perfect. He could do the little flying loop if you cheer for him!

Wow, exactly the same with me. My FC leader gave me a Pudgy Puk, but it's just not the same... I named my wyvern Milo in XI, one of the few on my server with that name. For XIV I just named my Chocobo Milo and suited him up in Levi barding... close enough!


@FritoBandito: a picture worth a thousand words ;)

I agree! Wyvern pet!

As a minion, sure why not? But as a pet and nerfing/rewriting my job? No. Just no. I had a DRG in XI too and yeah I liked my pet, but I enjoy dragoon in XIV for the challenge it presents in the playstyle.

And for everyone refusing to even try the job without the pet being there? Less competition for drg drops for me wooooooooooo!! No seriously guys, give it a shot and *then* write it off if it ain't your cup of tea. But please not to be changing my primary job without even giving it a fair shake or a taste, hmm? There's some really delicious dark vibes there, being seduced by power, etc etc. Refuse to give spoilers but it's one of the better job stories, I feel. (Although it was better in 1.0.) Wouldn't be the first time a dragoon was being pulled two different directions, see also: Kain Highwind.

XI is the first FF to give them a pet, so XIV's pet-less version is more in-line with traditional final fantasy. A mini pet is fine, however. :)

If I can have one as a mount and fly where I want to go I want one, and I do mean "fly" not this 3 ft off the ground on an ugly ahriman stuff, it doesn't need to do anything else.

I realize this is a pipedream, oh well.

A mount is fine with me.

And again... Why not just split stats when the pet is out and fight with you and add give it back to the DRG when the pet is not out? That way the DRG would loose non of his power but ppl had the option to fight with the pet If they like. ;)

For sure support this idea :) I miss my wyvern from XI... a minion would be cool in replacement.

I love Dragons so I won't say no to any Wyvern minions and such!

I wouldn't mind seeing a job class with a dragon pet as well, but I'd more like to see something based off Reis or something from Final Fantasy Tactics.

A melee DPS having half the stats in melee range.... Along with a melee pet with likewise half the stats.

I'm just imagining some of those 360 degree AoEs making things get real bad real quick (I'm looking at you ADS). Sure, the Dragoon might be able to Leg Sweep (if stunnable) or Elusive Jump. But no way a pet could react as fast as a Dragoon on top of his/her game. With half the stats of a full-power Dragoon my poor little dragon buddy is dead real quick, and I don't wanna see my little dragon buddy dead.

Not to mention, if I'm half-stats too good chance I'm also dead if I react just a half second too slow. Dead like my little dragon buddy. If people wanted a pet-fighter class, wouldn't it be easier to just pick up a grimorie?



All that being said, if Ishgard ever opens up I can see a small flying wyrmkin minion as a reward for some quest in there. And I would proudly strut through those so called 'holy' walls with a dragon on my arm like the heretic I am.

Yeah in that example just don't get it out :P

But I didn't want to go to detailed here. It was more like a first idea how it could be possible.

I would love to have at least the option to get my Wyvern fighting with me ^^
