    Dragoon Wyvern as an Option

    Okay, so we already know that Yoshi P doesn't want to include the Wyvern on top of having DRG be a powerful critical attacker.

    But XI's DRG has become so iconic IMO, that it'd be a crime not to include the wyvern as an option, either as a secondary job (Dragonmaster?) or as a special ability that restricts several actions and abilities that a DRG would normally have access to.

    I like the latter best, as this gives us much more diversity and allows players to choose between more of a Kain/Freya style, or the FFXI style each with it's pros and cons. Naturally this should also require having CON & THM leveled up to a degree I feel, since the wyvern has magical breaths (or maybe not, since it's a pet idk).

    It'd be even more bad ass if the thing could grow up and we could use it as a mount... honestly, I don't think anyone would care how weak the DRG itself became if that were the case, and I'm a big fan of both styles of DRG.

    EDIT: A 3rd possibility would be to make Call Wyvern a 2hour ability as it once was in FFXI - the difference this time being of course that both the DRG and the Wyvern are equally as strong and the 2 hour recast would actually be justified.

    I think that'd be a decent compromise, and really it'd be sweet to be able to do combo attacks like jumping way up into the sky and riding your wyvern on the way down with your lance extended and the wyvern bearing it's claws & spewing flames everywhere! Naturally this would have to be for a very short duration but at least we'd be able to have the best of both worlds, if only for a little while.
