In fact, many fantasy-based games have related the Dragoon with dragons. Having a "Dragon Knight" in FFXIV just isn't possible because, well, that is what the Dragoon is. Also, it's not so much that they kill dragons that makes them dragoons, but the fact that their spirit has bonded with that of a dragon which grants them their powers.


And from a FF standpoint: Why does the lancer need to have 2 jobs based on dragons anyway? Why can't lancer have Chocobo Knight for a second tank-based job? http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Chocobo_Knight

Back on topic, however, it appears that in an interview with Dengeki, Yoshi P has implied or at the very least hinted that new jobs may not be coming until an expansion. At PAX, he said new jobs and level cap increases would come in major updates, however, in this interview he implies that when new jobs come out, level caps will increase, and level caps will increase with expansions.
