Not to mention that FFXIII wasn't revolving around the classic Final Fantasy job system.

Fang might have had dragoon-like abilities, but she wasn't dragoon in the sense of the Final Fantasy dragoon identity. Which now has ID tags like the dragoon AF being the strongest visual one, dragoon abilities being the strongest play-style tag, the dragoon name for obvious purposes and after XI the wyvern has also become a drg trademark.
...What?

She didn't have "the Dragoon identity"? Uh, yeah she did. The Dragoon identity is Jumps, damage and a spear. NOT Wyverns.

Which while we're on the subject, let's just get down to the brass tacks of it. Most of you people arguing in favor of Wyverns want them because specifically they were in FFXI, is that it? You do know that FFXI (and FFII) are the exceptions and not the norm, right? Dragoons have become synonymous with the Jump ability specifically, not having a pet. Not to bring this up yet again, but as many people have already said the most iconic Dragoon character in the series (Kain Highwind) didn't have a pet. Neither did Cid in FFVII. Or Freya in FFIX. Or Fang in FFXIII. Or Kimahri in FFX. Or Lancers in FFT.

You know what they all did have? Jump.
