What happens to a Dragoon after a missed a Jump?

I've always been wondering, and not sure if this was brought up before, but
What happens to a dragoon if she/he missed a jump on a dragon during the defense of Ishgard?
I mean it's bottomless cliffs all around the city, do they at least have a back up grappling hook, or some other ways for a safe landing? Or is it that dragoons' endurance is so great that they can sustain the fall at terminal velocity? xD

Maybe they just jump again in mid-air.

How does that work? Magic.

Edit: OR you rarely see Dragoons miss their jumps ... those less accurate Dragoons don't live long enough to earn the title. :P

There is a reason for all the dragoons on the dungeon floors, ya know. Failure to jump properly. :P

They tank the floor

From what was shown with Dragoon NPCs in cutscenes, Dragoons trained in Ishgard are highly trained at landing from very High altitudes to the point they can even scale up a mountain just by jumping and travel far distances as well with their Jumping skills.

However, our character is not that skilled with his or her Dragoon Jumping ability as the Ishgardian Dragoons are due to having different training so our character isn't that skilled with high altitude landings nor long distance travel with our Jump ability.

Well, if you looked at the HW trailer closely, there's one drg that never land his jump because he got snatched by the flying dragon...will this considered as a missed jump? lol

When they "miss" a jump, they're actually attacking the floor to get aggro.

Did you just spoiled a big part of the HW story or were you talking about the 2.x story/trailer?

Excellent explanation.

Spoiler alert:













I really thought Estinien was dead at the end of The Aery. They're just that good.

It goes to show the level of skill they have with their Dragoon Jump skills compared to the WoL. Ya most Dragoons lack the combat ability of the WoL but they have better Jump skills than the WoL which gives them the ability to land at high altitudes that not even the Ninja Job would be able to handle.

Same thing that happens to anything else that jumps and misses the ground.
They fly!

Where do u see him hating for asking that? U that salty ?

The dragoon doesn't hit the ground if he miss. The ground split open as the dragoon pass through it, letting him keep is awesome speed and penetration force. He simply glitch through and eventually ends in anothers past Final Fantasy dimension and jump on Gilgamesh.

As the tooltip indicate thos; Returns you to your original position after the attack is made. So back in Heavensward.

Dragoon is love.

If you use Elusive Jump to jump off a high location, (such as the top of the Observatorium in Coerthas), then you don't take any fall damage when you hit the ground so long as you are standing on solid ground beforehand. This obviously doesn't work for locations that have an invisible wall that catch you at the edge of the ledge, then let you fall, however. Still, I think that this is a good indication that if a Dragoon hits the ground when using a jump, then they're immune to fall damage no matter how far they fall.....

Either that, or they make the most satisfying "splat" sound when they hit the ground below.....

You know, after seeing what Estinien can do, I'm pretty sure the Warrior of Light is the *worst* Azure Dragoon in the history of Ishgard.

they plunge face-first into 10 feet of frozen over snow.


or crack their spears (and faces) on a hard stone ground.

in our defense, he's been doing it for a while.

also we softened it up for him, nidhogg was on the brink of death. (see drg post 50 quest.)

I've always wondered why NIN gets reduced fall damage while DRG does not...

Lol WoL can't jump like the rest of dragoons only because other classes can't do this. For example in The Aery what if player is a non DRG? How do you propose for him to make that jump? And if you allow to travel via jumps while traveling then it will just make DRG superior to all mounts XD And in DRG story you can't jump just because you suppose to fill the role of background decoration while given some NPC opportunity to shine and whatsoever. So it always just game mechanic / balance or story wise justifications. Basically - 'cause it's MMO.

Not even talking about that. I'm talking about the aerials.

Then again, I'm convinced that we all have stiff joints and weak stomachs when it comes to those.

"I've stared down a machine capable of killing gods, but I'll be damned if I jump from all the fark up there!"

obviously a dragoon will aim for the bushes if he misses his target
