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

to the OP Thread title , I hope not.

Please look at the lore written for the game world before posting.

I never got to play DRG in XI though it looked great with the pet, no freaking way could it work in XIV so please use some conmen scenes before posting, its not hard. well for most people anyway

Some people could care less about lore. When lore gets in the way just retcon the shit out of it. Happens all the time in MMO's.

Yes, and when it happens in said MMO's it's typically for the worst. Destroying the continuity of the game's story and lore by retroactively changing it is a dangerous thing when handled poorly and freely like you're suggesting. It's great that you couldn't care less about what's going on, but many of us do.

Im with you Doku i really hope we do get the pet too.

They have said pets are coming for multiple jobs/classes next year!

The fact that the NPC summons different monsters to his aide i think arcanist will have one of these abilities.

and i have a feeling that chocobos will be able to fight along side you at some point too.

Its very exciting ^^

Not a fan of the pet, at all. I'd like my power to be consolidated in my own skills rather than have my strength gimped and transferred into a pet. Let me keep destroying stuff with my polearm and not worry about having some annoying dragon taking some of that from me for the sake of game balancing, please.

Because some of us want our pet back and see it in this new game, with its infinitely better graphics engine, a chance to correct a lot of the errors from 11. Also a chance to make it far more intuitive and useful then last time.

I and some are for it - others are against. Thats forums and opinions for ya.

There's an easy solution to it - just quit treating this game as if it's supposed to be FFXI-2. It's not.

Fact: I do not :P

to be honest, the Dragoons of old where better then the FFXI version.

There where many things Dragoon could do in the past, and many of them where pretty cool....

FFV
"Lance" it was a HP/MP drain

FFIX
"Dragon" was a command that opened up tons of Dragon abilities
examples:
"Reis's Wind" Casts Regen on all party members
"Cherry Blossom" Deals non-elemental magic damage to all enemies.

FFXII Revenant Wings (ok not a past game but what ever ;p)
Breath attacks of different elements


If they some how combined all of this in some form for Dragoon in FFXIV, I would rather a unique thing like that then to have a pet again as in FFXI.

Your solution sucks just like your presumption of my motives. I'm not treating the game as if its 11-2 or whatever assine thing you're going to babble next.

You very well could be right but I simply disagree with you.
