They're giving people who stay, a chance at getting a Drake mount.

That, in my opinion, is as good as it gets for the Dragoon. :3

I don't want my stats to be gimped just 'cause Dragoon ended up as a pet class. Waste of time, waste of dev resources better spent elsewhere...

Keep the Dragoon in XIV close to the "original" design of Dragoon in the Final Fantasy series, please.

Important thing to remember: XIV heavily damaged the franchise. What's the best way to fix that? By going back to the original source material...

And I'm talking about Kain Highwind from FF4 and Freya from FF9, not McDerp The Dragoon from XI.
