What a Wyvern Dragoon/BST/SMN system could look like

[Tonkra]

I think it would be best to keep dragoon the traditional way with no pet.

Companions will be introduced into the game in the the form of chocobos and such. I think it would be pretty cool if Dragoon can have a companion wyvern that takes up one party slot. This way everyone is happy.

+Dragoon is not a pet class and remains the traditional job.
+The wyvern isn't tied to the class, its a exclusive dragoon companion that takes up 1 party slot.

which part of

"And i dont want to start a new discussion, wether DRG would be cool with or without a Wyvern.
Everyone is talking about Yoshida should make something "new" with keeping the DRG to that what he was used to be in "traditional". But what about developing a completely new controlling system when it comes to wyvern or pets in overall? "

you didnt understand?
even the headline says DRG/BST/SMN there is an other flaming thread about that, keeping drg to traditional.

They're already implementing a system like that with Chocobo participation fights. I'm not sure if it extends to other mounts (I view DRG wyvern as a mount) or pets. BST would be weird unless you can directly control the mob, heal the mob etc. Most of the suggestions in your post make sense...

I think what will make or break the system will be the UI.

Lol I did understand. Your idea will work well if the wyvern was a companion, because chocobos(companions) will have the ability to be customized. If its tied to the job I think it would have balance issues.

Also, if you don't want people to discuss if dragoon should have a pet or not, don't bring up "Dragoon" in a pet thread. Just saying.

Characters that portrayed the Dragoon arch type:
Ricard Highwind FFII
Lancer class in FFIII (spears and jumps)
Kain Highwind FFIV
Cid Highwind FFVII
Ward Zabac FFVIII (not called a dragoon but uses harpoons and limitbreak is a "jump")
Freya Crescent FFIX
Kimahri Ronso FFX

None of these had a pet attached to them.

Why should Dragoon in FFXIV?

[grandm]

well i just dont want to start that discussion again but: because those guys in FFIV,FFIX etc had no wyverns doesnt mean that the one in FFXIV shouldnt have one.. it is FFXIV and not FFIV. and because the system in FF11 was awful it should not be the same in FFXIV.

it could be completely different.
thats what my suggestions are made for. i mean beastmaster was really awful because of these.



not really, but a direct control over the pet. and thats just not only in WoW



for Beastmaster i also would like to see:

- a permanent charm
- the option to "save" up to 5 beasts to summon them again wherever he is
(like the blumage who could only save an amount of blu spells)
- if he wants to charm monsters higher than him its not a constant charm and it can fail from time to time.
- axe typical abillities on his own.
- abillities that buff him on his own (wildness, beserk or whatever) to push his damage but lowering defense
- petbuffs and health reggen

besides the other changes i've written above. to push the beastmaster more into a damage class

yes this is final fantasy 14, not final fantasy 11, i am so sick of this dragoon/dragon issue. it been stated so many times more ppl don't want a pet. ppl have tryed to say. what if we keep dragoons power and get a pet? NO! we don't want a pet. what if we have two dragoons, one with a pet, one without? NO! we don't want dragoon to have a pet. what if we redesign the pet to work better? your just not getting it we don't want a pet with the dragoon. we want a pet with a pet class, we want a spear and a jump with our dragoon.

so seems as every1 has so many ideas of how to get dragoon and get a pet. i have a idea of my own. scrap dragoon for round one jobs. and make beastmaster come first.
