Dragoon is coming, but will our gallant companion be joining us?

[Jigg]

To clear something up from what I have been reading...
It has been stated in several interviews that the pet system is not possible to implement with the way FFXIV is NOW, but they are possible and will be made available in FFXIV 2.0.

That being said...
Jobs armor and abilities are going to be Quest driven, meaning that at some point after its implementation there will be a possibility that a quest gets added for Dragoon to aquire a pet once the pet system is implemented.

I would like to see Dragoon as a sort of party buffer class, able to grant things like Scaleskin (Similar to Stoneskin), Bar- spells, ACC+, ATK+, CRIT+, MAG RESIS+, EVA+, etc.

Jump abilities I feel are a must.

Honestly i can't believe no one has asked Yoshi about Dragoons and if they will be having a Wyvern pet. Everyone enjoyed Dragoons for the soul purpose of having an awesome flying tiny dragon shooting breath attacks and healing you.

I would be very sad to see Dragoon as a jumping version of lancer w/o a pet. What do you guys think?

Yoshi said they are already developing the pet systems, and jobs don't come till feb. 2012. I'm interested in everyones opinions.

I think there is a 25% chance they will get pets at this point.

Wyvern would be the best first pet class to add because its a lot easier to add, since all it would do really is a few breath attacks maybe. Unlike summoner/beastmaster which would need all new classes/tons of abilities (every summon has so many) on top of the animations for all the summons/primal not added.

So with this i still see a chance that we will get our first pet class, this would certainly make a large group happy.

I like dragoon for the sole reason that I'm a dragoon and I can jump and lance things.

FFXI is the only FF game with dragoons that have pets. I was fine in IV, V, VII, IX, X, and XII without them.

Freya didn't have a dragon pet, period. An embodied dragon never once came out. It is only the name of her attacks. Summoning the essence of a dragon does not equate to having a dragon pet. Do I have a cat pet if I summon my essence of a cat? FFXI was the only time FF had dragoon with a literal pet. Stop trying to bring poor Freya into this argument.

I really loved wyverns as pets in XI and would love to see them again in XIV... but ONLY if the lore supported it somehow.
I have a feeling we'll get wyverns eventually.. but not for a long time.. XD I can just see SE surprising us with it one day.
I won't be disappointed if they don't though.

Dragoons seems to be originate in Ishgardians, and they do not like dragonkin, they hate dragons, wyvern and the such. Their jobs seems to get rid of dragonkins and the like.

Yeah they were like the spirits of the dragons she'd killed manifesting into magic is how i always saw it, the most powerful one of all dealt more damage the more dragons you kill. I have to say as Dragoon i want to be more than just a melee dd with elemental breaths. I want some magic that i actually want to consider for when i'm gearing i'll be dissapointed if Dragoon goes solely physical dd like any other dd job.

The only thing I want from Dragoon is the ability to jump off the screen and then come back down for an attack like in the old days

[Mishakai]

I'd love to have my little blue Wyvern back!!! I won't get upset if I don't get one, but it sure would be nice.

[Andrien]

the pet wyvern in ffxi is weak, and it is still weak even till this day. Healing breath is probably the only useful skill they have.

I much prefer Dragoons abilities like Kain Highwind. Like the Kain Highwind in Dissidia 012, keep it classy and real

[Isaveron]

Not everything has to function like it did in XI.
