Dragoon pet

[Nayt]

Yoshida said pretty much all of us wanted it. Is that really true?
I know I, for one, would prefer to keep the dragoon strong and not a pet job.

*edit*
#XIVLive Q: Will dragoons have a wyvern?
A: After 2.0, we are thinking about having them use their breath ability when you jump. However, as I answered in the interviews, I think you all really would like to fight alongside a wyvern pet. With a dragoon having a pet wyvern, battle balance will be necessary for both master and pet, and as a result the dragoon itself might become a bit weaker. We would like to hear your feedback on this before we make any final decisions.

Please comment your opinion on this, even if it has been stated before, since it will show the dev team what we really think about the ideas.

He mentioned that its become more of an issue than he thought it would, and wanted the PC to use dragonic abilities instead of splitting them up and weakening the player. It would take a lot of balancing

Personally, XI had the pet, now I'd like to be powerful myself.

Nyeh, I am not a Lancer but, I plan to be. I wouldn't mind either way really. We aren't going to miss much w/o it. But, I also wouldn't mind getting a wee bit weaker in exchange for a Wyvern. As long as they don't get nerfed like SMN did in FFXI (*Shudder*)

Dragoon does not need a wyvern.

FFXI is the only game where Dragoon is a pet job. FFXIV dragoons -fight- dragons. They do not need a wyvern, it makes no sense in this game, please let them be powerful attackers instead of trying to balance a pet in with everything else and ruining the job. Please.

I'll pass on a pet for Dragoon.

When they mentioned it in one of the earlier interviews, they were talking about it being the most potent critical hit jobs, but if they add in a wyvern, that's eunuchism right there

^ This exactly.

No thanks to a pet wyvern. It was a neat concept in XI but I'd rather have a strong base class than have to be balanced around keeping a side-kick alive.

Good point. And if they want to mimic a Dragoon from a previous FF why not Freya from FF9?

Oh god, Yoshi, please. All I ever wanted to wield was a spear. ;_; Don't take away my power for a gimmick already done!
