The Legend of Wyvern

Yes it may be hard to balance it but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be possible or even worth it. I feel a great part of any game is having options for all players to be happy.

Very rarely will players of an MMO be completely happy with any changes, implementations or content provided. I feel, while taking player feedback, Developers need to go with what they feel is right. ;p

Yoshida indicated from the start his plans for Dragon did not include a Wyvern, but if the players wanted that much he might consider it. I say we should allow him and his developers to point Dragon in different direction than FFXI.

I like the idea of a quest. Something like where during the quest you are asked to spill your own blood to awaken the dormant dragon and it asks if your really willing to give up some of your own powers to revive the dragon. That would let people know about the price to be payed for the pet. It would be kind neat if there was a quest to undo the bound and regain your powers and both are repeatable. This would keep everyone happy right? Don't want a pet pick the "Hellz no get that knife away from me" option. If you want a pet though you can get one but if you decide later on to not have it you can get rid of it. Granted I don't think flip flopping between no pet and pet is a good idea so make the quest somewhat a pain to do.

Allowing us to "paint" our pet would be pretty neat too maybe even have different models for them that are given at random or choice. That way we don't have the same copy and paste pet everywhere we go.

Very good ideas! Honestly, if there's no downside to either party then no one should have anything to complain about with it being added. For the people who want it, they'll be happy, for those that do not, they won't be bothered by it. Yet there are still some who just refuse the very thought about it like a disease.

I'm all for the multiple models for Wyverns and it was a very hot idea in the modding of them in XI.

Entirely reasonable and I understand that. However the option should still be there for the ones who would appreciate it. After all, we're going to be paying a subscription fee for this game; I should think all players deserve to be as happy as can be.

However, I'm very curious to see how Dragoon will perform without the Wyvern as well. To me it wouldn't be nearly as interesting of an adventure, but that's not to say it would be boring either. I think over some time people may become bored and then having a Wyvern will be on many people's lists.
