I want Wyverns back!!

DRG is already one of the hardest if not the hardest class to properly play, we did a "lan" party the other day and my friends who didn`t belive when i said that DRG has it hard, at the 4 seconds of dungeon got it. People is just used to melee DPS to be easiest class to play (thanks to rogue classes for that!) and most ppl think they work like that here and they chose DRG and MNK not only because they look cool and are iconic FF jobs, but also because they think they will learn the game using an easy class and suddenly all of em got roflstomped by much longer combos, lots of skills, heavy CD managment and hellish positioning... Adding a micromanagment of a pet would be sick.

Now, the lore argument is not fully correct, yes Dragoons are Dragon Killers, jumps were made to impale dragons from above in aerial combat and our homeplace Ishgard wages a holy crusade against the Dravian Horde. But just as the others enemies tribes we have encoutered (tho the Dravians are not a beast tribe) they may also have some more friendly individuals... I can see in the FAR future a Dragon Tamer or a Dragon Knight class with either a combat mount or a combat companion in the form of a wyvern or a dragon, i can even see their quest going arround the fact they need to stop harrasing from the Dragoons of Ishgard and things like that.

So, wyvern pet for Dragoon is a no, wyvern as a companion for a future class could make it. Think about Ishgard like the second most probably next region to explore (first for me being Sharlayan which is also victim of the Dragons btw!) so obviusly dragon/wyvern content will be released in a future update/expansion.

I only played dragoon for a short bit after 50 but I never felt like I was lacking for damage so adding an additional source of dmg seems like it would require too much of an overhaul. I do like the Idea of adding an alternate class/job though something like the dragoner/dragonkin in final fantasy tactics would be a good fit I think though I don't recall lances being one of her usable weapons. As far as the lore goes I can't say I've paid much attention to the lore but making some exception to the wyverns used by players doesnt seem like it would be too drastic.
