An idea about tying in LB3 and vanity

[Arakatos]

Just a suggestion for the Devs or the powers of SE.

Plenty of post about the boring LB3 which is not unique looking or that unique LB are coming etc.. So why not implement some sort of cool quest chain to unlock your a unique job class specific LB3 animation sequence and (maybe function change or enhancement)?

i.e. A Dragoon's 'vanity' LB3 could be a quest chain about taming a Wyvern which once completed will allow the Dragoon's LB3 animation to be a Jump but spears back down from the heavens while riding his Wyvern etc.

Still makes me laugh whenever I read a post about a dragoon and his wyvern, it's like all the people in this game that play dragoons don't realize that dragoons and dragons are enemies, dragoon's skills aren't there to control or link with dragons, they are skills used to kill dragons.
If you read the description of the job http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/game/#!/jobs/content you would realize that it would make no sense lorewise that dragoons team up with dragons.

Still makes me sad to see people openly writing to be laughing at someone's hopes or tastes, like something like that isn't hurtful at all.

Anyways~

Dragoons, or dragon knights, do kill and hunt dragons. A known part of hunting a certain species, as far as history taughts us, is to subdue the prey to your will. Cavemen would hunt horses for meat before even considering to ride them. If there is a class that has most chances of subdue something as mighty and ancient as a dragon, that is definitely a dragoon.

But enough about your initial example. The quests line to unlock some unique animation is pretty good, and I think I would like something like that. In a way it sounds like the old FF games' summons, like in FFVIII for example, where you had to quest finding and fighting a certain GF before getting their special attack animation (Summon) to aid the group.

I however would rather not have that special attack be a LB specifically, because then everyone would fight to pop their own limit break over someone else's. Maybe give a Special Summon/Special Attack of sort, one-time only, active only during instanced battles (I am suggesting instanced battles because I'd like said attacks to have some brief cutscene of sort, which is something a group content may find hampering).

Still, good idea though!

It's just an example Mcshiggs lol. I don't even play DRG.

A cool lb for dragoon would be if he summoned several spears to attack around him like Xaldin.
