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

It's not the fact that the wyvern was needed. It was just a fun concept. To own your own little dragon and helped when soloing (like when running from something you cant handle and letting the wyvern take the fall). It was just more defining ith classes in ffxi and I think that is what dragoons need is some more diveresity especially since we have a lancer class already. Now if they had a different theme for dragoon like a darker feel or even with dragon abilities then I can see ditching the pet.

You know maplestory kinda had a cool concept for having a dragon pet. It grew with your level and eventualy became your mount. Now that would be defining.

Also no need to worry about ishgard lore because all will be dead in 2.0 (for the most part) plus they are talking about a dragon like race in the distant future.

Have a source for this Dragon race? Probably something I didn't read.

However, they did in a recent interview state that certain Dragoon quests would tie into Ishgard in the future, so the lore is being kept in-tact from the sounds of it.
