Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[AlphaDragoon]

Again, Fang is a character in a single player FF game, with emphasis on characters and story. Our playable characters in this game however are just gray matter that we mold, we mold them after preference, style and after what's available. You also seem to forget that you could be different classes with Fang, none of them being drg, you can view her more like a lancer if you want. 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.

well your stuff is kind of off. Cid in 7 could summon a dragon for an attack....called dragon (limitbreak) and Kain used swords. People need to stop trying to make the old games "dragoons" (which half of them didnt follow the lore of a dragoon anyways) as their argument as to why DRG in this game cant have a pet. They can do w/e the hell they want. And again, love how most of these anti-wyvern crazed people havent even touched LNC yet...its kind of funny. Its like being mad about the burgers taste when your only getting a salad XD

I don't think it matters if they have lvled LNC or not really... I myself have yet to get to it though all through alpha and beta and before I decided to switch servers I played LNC. I will say this I love the job DRG I always have though its right up there with WHM for me :P

Anyways that is besides the point what I mean is I don't that them not having LNC lessens those against having a pet anymore then those for it that have LNC lvled. Now do I think DRG needs to have a wyvern eh not really. I did have a lot of fun with my wyvern in FFXI I just don't think it needs to be in here and really I would like for these DRG to be more like the FFT DRG. Though I do understand you humans need something to go on and on about and bicker back and forth like children and such picking at each other and so forth... so I am more then certain my whole post here is really pointless then again most of the posts of people on these threads are just that... pointless...

As always watching you people the cat is amused... =^.^=

P.S. I like cheesecake it is the best =+.+=

Kain "could" use swords in FFIV, but he mainly used Polearms, and his jump attack got a damage mod when he had spears equipped. and yes many of the old Dragoons did follow the lore, what are you talking about. Your "have not touched Lancer" argument is flawed as well, like I stated before, I have not leveled Lancer yet, because I am working on my support classes at the moment, and would like to save my favorite class (and after that job) for "last"

I'm a Lv50 LNC and I'm a Wyvern-Hater.

You, sir, are a tool.
