my complaint about dragoons

[Sabaoth]

I never liked the FF11 interpretation of DRG and I hope the FF14 version never gets a pet, wyvern or otherwise. The FFTA breath attacks also struck me as a bit odd but I'm pretty indifferent about those.

Regardless, aren't the dragoons in this game members of a faction that's rather fanatically anti-dragon? I've not done more than the initial DRG quest but they appear to be from Ishgard no? I feel having any severely dragon-like aspects, such as breath attacks or makin' nice with a little dragon buddy would not go over well with these people.

And it is perfectly okay to feel that way.

Though, it was not a FF11 exclusive. Instead, it could be said to have manifested in FF11 (in a manageable way) due to years of previous lore. Lore wise, from FF2 and (the most popular version of Dragoon) in FF4 with Kain Highwind, Dragoons were Dragon Knights that literally rode Dragons into battle. There have been other characters throughout the franchise that could be considered "Dragoon-like" such as Cid from FF7, Freya from FF9, and Kimahri from FF10, but for the Dragoon, lore wise, they were mostly Dragon Knights who fought alongside dragons.

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure that Dragoons who solely were Dragon Slayers is a FF14 exclusive. Though you are correct in saying that Ishgard is heavily anti-dragon.

Again, I'm not for or against wyvern pets. Just, the more you now and all that.
