I suggested a repeatable quest to get it and a repeatable quest to get rid of it. That way if in a years time you get pissed at the little guy you can send him away. If they do that then everyone is happy end of story. Now lets all eat some cake!

i don't think every1 would be happy, the monk, warrior, bard, paladin, blackmage, and whitemage. would not be happy, why should the dragoon get an extra quest? what make them special?, if they give monk a quest to change their elemental abilities too water, lightening and ice, and give bard a new quest to change its songs. ok so these are just examples and probally not very good ones. but the point is, if dragoon gets a quest for an added extra than so should every other job. or this idea for dragoon would only please dragoons and not as said before every1

I lean a little more towards not having a wyvern and just having some really nice job ability animations that hint at utilizing the dragon's spirit. However that said, I suppose I'd deal either way. Another possible option is to let the thought of a wyvern pet unfold into a whole other class/job that could be added later.

Whenever I mentioned everyone I was actually referring to everyone as a Dragoon. But you brought up a very valid point there; the other classes would get the **** end of the stick.

A possible solution to this could consist of enhancing each individual class where-as they too would be extra special. Another solution could be that Dragoon just get's an optional pet Wyvern like they did in XI where they would be able to dismiss them at will; no other benefits at all.

What do you think of that?

There are no other classes in the realm of Final Fantasy that would entail the use of a Wyvern other than Dragoon (not even Dragon Knight; apparently they are the same thing). Thus I don't believe there's another chance at this happening. But I could be wrong.

Maybe one of many different mobs that could be utilized by an adept Beastmaster ? Just a thought ^^

Every class has to have the same amount of quests? Is this first grade where if one kid get gets a cookie in his lunch box everyone must get a cookie or its just not fair? Would you do a quest if there was no reward? The dragoon quest I'm talking about gives you a pet yes but it takes away from your powers thus you get weaker. All in all the only thing the quest serves to do is ask people if they want a pet. If the quest made them more powerful I would understand your statement but it wont make them any stronger. Just cause one class gets something doesn't mean all classes have to get it.

A very farfetched thought at that lol. I guess it's possible but I never saw it coming and don't really think it best; it just feels more appropriate for Dragoon to have the pet Wyvern.

I couldn't have said it better myself! It's very true that the pet would be an option without any boost that other classes would need to feel jealous about. Were they crying about it in XI? Not that I can recall.

I'm sure the majority do not want to compromise their job in a party just for a pet.
My personal preference. A Dragoon that can do everything by itself with no dead weight.
A mix of Freya + Kain = Awesome+

In FFII, the wyvern in that lore was used as a mount and nothing more. It was used to fly to the emperor and then escape.

But the Dragoon in particular had the Wyvern/dragon :P

Just curious; what about having a pet Wyvern compromises a Dragoon's job in the party? I've said it before but I don't know who's listening; XI Dragoon's had a pet Wyvern and it worked just fine.

I'm not implying that this game be XI-2 in any form, but Final Fantasy has always borrowed it's own ideas for the next installment. FFII may have had a Wyvern as just a mount, but later on FFXI used Wyverns as a pet for a class. That same class exists in XIV and so too does the possibility for the pet. It's just my hope -and possibly the hope of others- that Wyverns may once again be our pets as it happened to be an enjoyable experience. Especially for pet owners. And the best part about my proposition is that having a pet Wyvern is to be optional so each Dragoon has the choice. A win/win.
