    Lol I actually speak French so I know they aren't different. But this a fantasy game. Dragoons were a military unit... they didn't fight dragons irl nor did they have dragons. So from a fantasy perspective I think a dragoon= had a lance and a dragon knight is more like a Chevalier, the name means horse rider or horseman, by the way, didnt have a wiki link for you since thats how one proves intelligence now a days, I guess. Dragon knight being - has a wyvern. Already a dragoon in this game isn't what a dragoon is in irl so who cares, its the other ishgard dragoons that are more "mounted cavalry" based on actual history.

    I'm just saying from FF perspective, and not a real life one, its actually easy to make Dragoon and Dragon Knight two completely different things. With dragon knight actually meaning "hey i fight with dragons", since dragoon does not mean "I KILL DRAGONS irl" and they made it into that in FF, why would we even be talking about logical stuff.
