my guardian, the wyvern

[Jasiwel]

They could make the Wyvern a Companion like the Chocobo. That way the DPS won't be skewed in dungeons and no one really cares about DPS in the open world.

XI is the only Final Fantasy that had Dragoons with usable wyvern pets, they are dragon killers in XIV and only those Dragoons controlled by Nidhogg have some loyalty towards dragons, just like Estinien had a pet drake in 1.0. I'd rather not see yet another piece of established lore twisted to fit in something that didn't before even if the previous MMO entry in the franchise featured it. I'd also just rather have a proper Beastmaster job.

There was no "offical" poll, but there was in the 1.0 forums an "unofficial " poll thread with "No" winning by a wide margin, as well as the dev s flat saying a long time ago not only that it ain't going to happen but also explaining why.

I remember the 1.0 forum poll, and i also remember the devs speaking about their reasoning at the time as to why the Dragoon job did not receive a Wyvern, as well as Yoshida's future plans to add more "Dragon" elements to Dragoon.

My post wasn't me advocating for them to add one to the job, merely pointing out that you still have not provided evidence of a "majority" in either case, no more no less.

EDIT: To the comment you edited in to your post, welcome to MMOs where nothing stays the same and things often change over time based on player feedback.

If they ever implemented wyverns with customizable names, I'd call mine Azure in honor to my FFXI Wyvern^^

Unfortunately I don't know when name-able minions will come out, so I just gave that name to my chocobo instead :/

And I don't even like chocobos as companions >_< I'd use any other mount but them!

Or a Wyvern barding for the Chocobo. This should be the easiest way.

Drake mount will be best DRG companion.

[Rubieus]

I would not call it anything. No point in giving a name to something that is going to die shortly after encountering it.

Drake mount will be best DRG companion.

A dead drake, maybe, but it wouldn't move fast then, that would be a problem.

[Volcano]

It would make a lot of sense to have DRGS do more damage to dragon enemies, as they have in past games with said names. Wait, does that make to much sense? am i over steping the bounds here?

My chocobo companion's name was Leon in 1.0. Plot wise, he died of old age and another Cartneau veteran chocobo, Lucian, has taken his place at Lin's side.

I would not name a Wyvern pet that should not exist.

It's already a stretch that any player with a Drake mount from the Brotherhood of Ash story-line isn't agroed by Ishgardian military on sight if they were to ever roam into corethas with it. A dragoon with a Wyvern pet would break and entire nation's worth of established canon.

Some of the biggest hangups for developments of this game is 'it doesn't fit with the story' thus we got the whole Rogue/Thief quandary. Story, was listed as the primary reason why that name is changed. Story is the exact reason why you don't see Dragoon with a Wyvern pet either.
