Do you want Wyverns fighting alongside your dragoon?

Having a little wyvern made DRG my favorite class in FFXI. I would love to see DRG have a pet no matter how they would implement it. In general I think pet classes are the most interesting to play so I hope we get several later on to go with SMN.

While I know this is a troll thread, I can't help but weigh in on this subject because it is so near and dear to my heart.

Just to preface... I LOVE dragoon. I really do.

That being said, while the wyvern in XI was nice, I would much rather dragoon in XIV be allowed to shine as a fierce front line combatant. Welcome in parties, and deadly as hell.

Pet classes work when we look at classes like summoner because we expect that the summoner isn't going to hit like a mack truck. That's what the pets are for.

I don't want to see dragoon have the strength of a summoner, but with a pet SE would have no choice but to do something very near that to maintain class balance.

It's cool to think back fondly about the wyvern in XI. It was cute and I liked it.

But in XIV, I want to be an Azure Dragoon, destroyer of dragons. I want to be strong, feared, and formidable.

Lol, they ridiculed the Drg job in FFxi by giving it a pet just because the name Dragoon. It was a gimmick and a excuse that they got away with due to the special circumstances & lore. Grow up playas and stay true to real FF tradition. Dragoons look like dragons to fool their prey/enemies, then strike!

Better than a dragon, we have our chocobo. Maybe if someone would design a dragoon outfit for the fellah, since he will be fighting alongside us. Hehe.

Just saying, the war between the dragons and Ishgard is still going on in ARR.

To be fair to wyvern pet proponents, the story could change in ARR. But as of now, you are right, it wouldn't make much sense for warriors who have sworn to eliminate dragon kind to have one as a pet.

Ah... then ignore my comment and death to the dragons!

They could just have a wyvern pop up for dragoons buff animations, a graphic enhancement rather than something affecting the players stats.

thats the most terrible thing i can think of.. a choco fighting alongside with you.
i mean, will everybody use it then? do we have 8 people and 8 chocobos alongside?

besides that i think it just do not look "right"... if there is a new job/class which is called chobobo-knight or something... i may be ok with it... but not more than "Ok". i think a huge chocobo is just disturbing in a fight.

limit-break for dragoon ;XD a wyvern coming from the sky to breath attack the foe ;D

I'd feel better about a chocobo buddy, if I had raised it myself, not some extremely rude chocobo trainer.
