    In media, you're probably right. However, his point remains. Dolphins, Humans, Dragons are all "animals". Dolphins have the 2nd most powerful brain on the planet, form stable societies, social groups and have a language of their own.

    SO, if Dolphin + Human = Beastaility, then Dragon + Human = Beastaility. Neither have the matching organs to make it possible, but at least Dolphins are mammals.

    This isn't counting that Eorzea is a world of magic where anything can happen.

    The thing is, dragons aren't dolphins. Dragons in FFXIV have brains on par with humans. They have culture, government, a standardized language. They have ideals (the dragons siding with Iceheart to stop the war, versus the ones fighting Ishgard with the horde). Dragons are the same as beastmen, they just look a lot more beastly.

    I'm curious, do we have any evidence that dragons have a government?

    That depend what you call a government, but there are dragons rulling over a lot of other dragons ( Midgarsormmr, Niddhog )

    They have a hierarchical society. No clue on central decision-making.
