    My friend and I were discussing something about Dragoon, Dragons, and the perceived Playable-Draconian race that Yoshi-P hinted at previously.

    Let's say they release even a half-dragon race, how are they going to reconcile that with any kind of Dragoon unless it takes up a cavalry job completely unrelated to any discussion of dragons? If I were a Draconian, I'd have no use for a dragon companion, and I'd not want to be a dragon killer either.

    the whole dragon race thing is plain old bizzare to me. It doesnt even seem to fit with the FF style, almost like hes doing it because other games have weird creature like races. If he said we have a troll or ogre race coming next.....i wouldnt be surprised.

    While plausible, how many MMORPGs, or even single-player RPGs, have you actually been able to play a dragon race even a half-dragon race? Not many, that's for sure.

    Actually, I've always consider Roegalkyn to be the FFO-version of D&D's ogre/troll races and the Lalatarufell to be FFO's version of Dwarfs/whatever.

    if SE wanted to use a dwarf they could have just recycled ones from their own series. i have not seen any lala-fell saying "rally ho" but i will keep an eye out for them. as for dragon race looking out of place it wouldn't be the first weird looking race in FF. theres kilmari of the ronso's. fraya and her kind a race of anthropomorphic rats. fran of the viera. that is just a few weird races off the top of my head i'm sure i could think of more given enough time

    What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

    That's all just speculations at this point, if that race ever becomes playable we still don't know it's characteristics. At this point I find that announcement to be bizarre, cloudy and still mid-air.

    Who says that a half dragon kind of race doesn't have any benefits from a wyvern? That's nonsense.

    Gria the name. Unfortunately not a race from Eorzea. Grias are from Ivalice set of races.
