    Isn't that by far the biggest appeal of that job? This is like saying Paladins won't be able to equip a shield because of balancing concerns.

    Maybe I'm overstating the importance here, but I never heard of anyone who played Dragoon for the polearm. They wanted a freaking dragon.

    Either spend the extra time balancing, or if it just doesn't work for whatever reason, don't add it. How different from Lancer is it even going to be then?

    No "they" don't. A good portion of us do not want a wyvern pet.

    Let's see... I played Kain's character in FFIV, sans Dragon. I played mostly DRG in FFV, sans Dragon. I played Cid Highwind as a main party member in FFVII, sans Dragon.

    Hell, I played the damn Cat-dude in FFX...... sans Dragon.

    I'm pretty sure the appeal of Dragoon does not have much to do with a Dragon.

    Yes, yes you are. Not everything has to function as it did in XI.

    Actually, I did want to play Dragoon in FFXI for the polearm, and definately not because I wanted "a freaking dragon." Dragoon was never about having a dragon until FFXI; it was about the embodiment of dragons or being dragonbane.

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.
    (Marvelous economics IQ test!)
