question to people about pet Jobs

[Ramsey]

can i as you why though? its not even like the old wyvern they are god damn awesome Drakes that glow as they are about to do there elemental breath.

I already answered your question on the first page. Final Fantasy Eleven, was the eleventh entry in the series. Dragoon had already been characterized long before this, often as a lone knight who deals a boatload of melee damage with spears.

Flash forward to FFXI where Dragoons went through years and years of being second class citizens because SE couldn't balance them properly with their pet, and they had to deal with obnoxious things like their pet dying to AoEs, etc.

Even if the pet were balanced properly, managing a pet is it's own thing, and something some people may not want to deal with, and again, it changes the feeling of the class dramatically. I don't want Dragoon to have a pet, but I can understand why people do. It's fine to disagree, but is it really so hard to understand why the other side of the argument feels the way they do?
