Dragoon pet

[Rinpoo]

Hm...I strongly believe all this arguing back and forth without ever finding common ground is silly (and childish to some extent). Several times I read about the idea to have both, the strong attack focused single Dragoon, and the duo of Dragoon and Wyvern. Why not just settling for this?

I'd see the single version as very strong melee character (pretty much what Lancer is these days compared to other classes) with awesome jumps and dragon abilities and whatever else most of you are wishing for. No idea how it's going to work, but assuming it won't be as easy to swap jobs as it is to swap classes, this version could be using the dragon mount (for whatever special purpose).

Then there is the duo version. Sorry, no dragon mount for you, instead your powers show off in the image of a Wyvern pet fighting alongside you. Melee output won't be as great of course, but instead this job would be more versatile (pretty much in the way Dragoons could somewhat adapt to different situations by changing subjobs, yea sorry to bring up FFXI, for some strange reason it happens naturally). Then there could be the skillchains I mentioned before, maybe some magical Wyvern abilities and...no clue, guess there could be a lot of different stuff for both Dragoon versions.

This is the solution I'd feel most happy with, knowing that half the world (or so it appears) won't be pissed, and those who actually love the dragon pets would be happy too. Sure, one could argue that it would be twice the work. But hey...can't find a better moment for all this than now, with the game getting rebuilt from scratch almost. I just think this way everybody could lean back and relax, and go with the compromise instead.
