Dragoons are getting their Wyvern (not explicitly announced, Yoshi vid inside)

I don't see why they couldn't just implement a "pet based" Lancer that uses a wyvern as a pet. That would be the simplest way to make a pet based wyvern that would actually do something, it's not like they have to have the Dragoon have a wyvern why not just create a lore in which Lancers/Dragoons whom cast aside the armor of the Dragoon and seeked to tame the wyvern use them in their fight against the wyverns.

Could be rather fun, the first part of the quest could involve an instance where you go through a cavern and have to still a wyvern egg from the nest, and then take it back so a ritual can take place to imbue parental rights to the user. And then from that point on it woudl progress through the lore of these Dragon Tamers and the journey the adventurer and Dragon Tamer go through up to the point where maybe you are faced up to go against the true parent of the wyvern or something lol.

I bet much like War got a Bear and Pld got a Lion that dragoon gets a wyvern mount in future, that is the most likely conclusion.

Look forward to 200 more 8 man runs

They couldn't implement it because pet management + melee positioning attention is usually too much player load in a game at this pacing.

Yeah, I can see Yoshi hinting at a possible wyvern minion there.

Now let's hope it doesn't require a 7000 Hard Mode Dungeon runs achievement to get.

They could alter the position setup. Make it some sort of tank class.

I would see this being very easy to implement. DRG stays the same, but Lancer gets an alternate class that is like you said cast aside being a slayer of dragons and instead one who tames them. I've seen this done before, but they would likely need their own town or city to occupy where they could be away from Coerthas and it's subjugators in the Houses. I would see a jungle area working well for this for some reason.

Besides, how FFXIV is designed, there is literally zero need for a wyvern pet with DRG - the wyvern in FFXI after all had it's abilities and AI dictated by whatever sub-Job the player had equipped, something which doesn't exist in FFXIV, so yeah, you just know that if SE did add a wyvern to DRG here, it would not be how players expect it to be, and will complain and whine constantly about it (after all, look at the people complaining about SMN). It's just something that really isn't needed in FFXIV.

When you mention that it brings up the point that while a wyvern pet attached to DRG wouldn't work like the FFXI one they could sort of make one work similar-ish to one if they made a wyvern companion with a branching leveling system similar to the current chocobo companion. Although I suppose that would still be pretty lame because you couldn't bring it to any real fights in the game. Or now that I think about it what would stop them from just making a system of wyverns similar to the egis? Different wyverns that fit different roles. Egis are only slight dps boosts anyways and honestly I don't see why they'd really have to nerf drg considering it's pretty much the weakest of the dps classes as it is.

Just pull dragoon off the board. Replace it with Thief. Bring back a real Dragoon with his Wyvern George in the future.

That's funny because:

IGN: Is there any chance we could get a Wyvern for the Dragoon Job class? As someone who really loved the Dragoon class from FFXI, I'd really like to have the option of a Wyvern in FFXIV. If not for multiplayer, then for solo play.

Yoshi-P: We receive many similar questions. Probably we could bring you the pet Wyvern anytime in the near future if we wanted to, but at the same time if we want that Wyvern to have the ability to attack the enemies along with the Dragoon then that means we need to reduce the strength of the Dragoon itself because we need to make sure there’s a good balance in the party. So I’m sure that’s not what players want – they wouldn’t want us to reduce the strength that the Dragoon class has already. So as long as the Wyvern doesn’t have that kind of special power then I’m sure we could implement it, so sometime in the future maybe you will see the pet Wyvern. We do have some plans and when you see how the story evolves around Reborn it might make sense to you
