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

[kensredemption]

If you want all of Ishgard trying to kill you, then you may have a pet dragon.

Seriously though, you are quite hung up on how dragoon operated in FFXI. Think outside the square (enix).

That just may be the worst pun anyone's ever conceived, but it's still pretty funny.

[Masamune]

Loved the dragon in XI because it was a lot of fun using it to solo and such. Also, the fact that you have a pet wyvern. But I don't need to see it in FFXIV. The old school Kain look is something I am looking forward to much more.

[RemnantWolf]

I have to agree/Disagree Yes I want the Wyvern back, dragoons are dragon tamers they should have a wyvern, but I want to see them integrate it in a new way. They mentioned alternate mounts, that could be intresting.

Maybe have it travel around with you but instead of fighting with you like in XI they make all Dragoon actions like team attacks. examples, jump: Jump on your wyverns back and fly into the air before dive bombing the ground. Flame strike: Wyvern breaths fire on your weapon as you thrust it at your enemy. Sweeping strike: Jump on your wyverns back and sweep over your opponents with fire and spear damaging a row of enemies. or even split up the attacks and have some actions give your wyvern orders and you can then use an action at the same time that your wyvern does but it is all under your control as opposed to support based on your actions.

And if they ever make an airship PVP wyverns need to be flyable.

There is one thing I think they need to keep the same from XI... shared emotes with your wyvern, They made dancing so much better.

I really hope to see Dragoon with a pet wyvern, I'm far more interested in healing breath than Jump and I'm far more interested in a pet than tradition.

[Andrien]

Oh please.... Not another Lair game.

next thing you know people will want sixaxis controls when flying them.

[Fayette]

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

I was Drg/Whm in FFXI and I want my wyvern (Delphyne) back! I've said this to my sister and to several others that if Dragoon doesn't get a Wyvern with the job then all it will be is a Lancer with a fancy title/gear and a few new abilities. Delphyne made my long grind fun and not so lonely ( I soloed my DRG from 1-85 on grind and FoV pages.)

I miss my DRG and I'm looking forward to having it in FFXIV but I hope they give us our faithful companion!

Umm.... So what you're saying is, all any new job in the game will be "is a <insert class> with a fancy title/gear and a few new abilities."

Check.

Paladins get shiel- oh wait..
Monks get fist weapo- oh wait..
but..

WARRIORS get Axes- .. you know what, im done with this. You are right.

[Alerith]

Haven't sifted through all 10 pages, so please forgive me if this has been mentioned.

A Dragoon without a pet could still be very unique. Have we considered the possibility of the Dragoon themselves performing elemental breath attacks?

Lance, Jump, Breaths. All performed by the player with no pet needed.

(In this instance, I wouldn't want the Dragoon to have Healing Breath. I don't need no goon spitting all over me for a few hundred HP.)

Y'know some people pay for that.
