Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Nabiri]

I'm saying tying a dragon companionship to either the DRG job or a polearm is asinine, actually. Any sort of Dark Knight or Demonic-related job/class is much better suited for dragon companionship historically when you consider dragons are much closer related to demons and the Dragoon in FF history is known for killing dragons on top of the fact the polearm has historically symbolized killing dragons (AKA King George, Gungnir, etc.) as opposed to dragon companionship (if any weapon should be tied, it'd best be a staff in the case of sorcery or a large sword/axe/scythe for a Dark Knight).

I loved my wyvern pet more than anything in FFXI, but I absolutely hated the Dragoon job until Call Wyvern at least became a 20 minute ability.

I don't care about it being tied to any weapon type. And it certainly could be made to fit into the lore.
I just felt Dragoon in XI with the wyvern made it more unique and fun. I don't like pet classes in general, but DRG appealed to me. For me it wouldn't be very interesting without the wyvern, and BST or SMN (or any other pet job) just couldn't replace DRG + wyvern.

Well instead of it being just a pet, how about an actual dragon companion that can't just be turned on/off with the switch of a class/job?

No thanks. I enjoyed fighting with my wyvern on DRG. :3

I don' t want a wyvern pet just to have a wyvern pet. I want a pet wyvern on DRG.

I'm NOT suggesting a wyvern companion just to have a pet. I am suggesting a dragon companion for the sake of dragon companionship, which would have to bring much more than FFXI. All you had in FFXI was a pet for the sake of a pet, NOT a real companion.

I'm not seeing a difference.

I'm not sure what your definition of companion is. Should it have AI and speak to me?
At any rate, I disagree. I never really felt alone fighting alongside my wyvern on XI.

A companion wouldn't be exclusive to a job so it can just be turned on and off at a job switch, how about that for starters.

Ah, well I've already said, I don't really like pets/"companions" that you fight with that aren't attached by job/(good reason for being there).

I would like if pets/"companions" outside of pet jobs, stayed inside our houses.

don't listen to dragon, just another person who is super anti- wyvern who hasnt even touched LNC. They also only think of FFXI DRG and cant think outside of there tiny box, because we all know this game plays exactly like FFXI right?

I'm anti-wyvern? Get over yourself, I'm not the one that wants it tied to an ANTI-DRAGON job. Why don't you think outside the box for a moment.

I'd rather not have to put Yoshi-P through the headache of doing balancing for Dragoon if a job-specific pet is implemented. I'd rather have it like this: Exclusive mounts for Dragoon.

That way, you ride your f*cking dragon into battle, as opposed to having a tiny, un-rideable little piece of crap flapping next to you like an annoyance.

This suggests you want the wyvern to be EXCLUSIVE to dragoon. Read my above statement in this post - this solution completely solves your whining. I don't want my Dragoon being gimpled or weakened just because he has the ability "Call Wyvern".

That is my primary concern. I don't want my Dragoon to be weak in PVP, or in PvE because someone needed to rebalance Dragoon as a pet class.

Look, if you're going to be stubborn, don't talk. If you want a dragoon pet so badly, why don't you just quit FFXIV and go back to XI? There are plenty of people here who do not want the jobs in XIV to be mirrors of their FFXI counterparts.

AND THAT MEANS NO FRIGGIN' WYVERN "PETS" FOR DRAGOON.

The only reasonable exception is in the form of a mount.

P.S. Don't forget that there is a chocobo battle system in development. This can easily be adapted to the Dragoon's mount... :| Seriously, take a big picture perspective here, people.
