I think there's a black and white to what you and I are foreseeing. I'm far too focused on how much a sentiment like this would mean to me in a few years, and you're far too focused on how silly the sentiment will be when it happens. But far too many threads are derailed by polarizing people like that - I'd kinda like to throw both of those out the window and just focus on the gray area in-between.

For the majority of the game, they won't be super rare or super common, they'll just be. I don't think that breaks anything, and I definitely don't think it moves the game towards being "not Final Fantasy because it's too similar to any other MMO" just because every now and then you go, "Ohey, that guy's riding an Umbral Era drake..."
