    I'm glad Meracydia isn't in 8.0 *SPOILERS*

    When I heard Meracydia wasn't going to be in 8.0 I breathed a sigh of relief.

    Dragon's might be an iconic representation of the fantasy genre, but it's gotten to be a point where we almost don't see a single expansion without them being featured somewhere (with some extents being extreme and others being lesser).

    At a glance, here's how often we've dragons on our screen (often pivital characters in a story):
    ARR - Binding Coils of Bahamut, Bahamut Trial, Keeper of the Lake, Crystal Tower
    Heavenward - Heavily and centrally used throughout
    Stormblood - Shinryu, Omega Raid, Wyverns + Drakes appearing in zones
    Shadowbringers - Rarely used, but dragonkin representation is shown in Lakeland, Ill Meg, Kholusia and the trial mount rewards
    Endwalker - Frequent again in the MSQ (Vrtra, Azdaja etc) and in Ultima Thule
    Dawntrail - None from memory

    It's pretty clear we've explored dragons extensively but the idea of any future expansions heavily featuring them makes me bored beyond relief. They've been given the spotlight enough.

    What do you think? Do you like dragons and want to see more? I am just a dragon racist?
