Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Keith_Dragoon]

in FF14 dragoons come from ishgard. yoshi has already said the dragoons quest will speak about ishgard withouht taking you there. as they have big plans for ishgard in V2.0. we also know ishgard hates dragons. so purely going on the lore of this game alone it makes no sense for dragoons to have dragons

P.S. i would go back and play FF12 if you can. great game

He said Dragoons will have abit of a tie in to the Dragoons of ishgard but they if you have seen them actually look more like the real life variation of Dragoon rather then the FF styled Dragoons. Most of them are mounted calvaray who instead of guns wield lances. Every single one of them has a chocobo by their sides. We are not going to Ishgard to become Dragoons, for all we know the unlock quest might have us stumble upon an ancient tome from many years past about this "Legendary Dragoon" of Ishgard who may have had a bond with a Dragon instead of "KIRR THEM ALL!"

Hell in XI(I know) the Dragoons had a bond with Dragoons and were killed off outta fear, same could have happened in IShgard by the higher ups and been covered up and altered because they feared the Man-Dragon bonds. This kinda story is cannon in the Dragoon lore since day 1.

Oh and yes I plan on picking up FF12, it tears me apart knowing it is the ONLY FF I havent played to this day. ; ;

thaumaturgs are also very mistrusted and discussed in whole eorzea with their dark practices.

be careful what you say in these forums! The "THM = WHM" crowd might start hunting you down!

This is actually similar to how I pictured it happening. Some legendary dragoon having a wyvern bond, and then we follow in his footsteps instead of the "kill all dragons" type. lol It could work perfectly well in the current lore.
This may be incorrect, but I heard someone say something before about a CNJ quest that involves dragoons and some wyvern statue or stone or something glowing and mentioning his master. :x I would like to know about this quest.. if it exists.

The quest you speak of is the rank 30 and 36 CNj missions (Spoilers ahead)

In the mission an Ishgard infrantry enter the shroud to conduct business with a Conjurer of the wild. A man who was taken by the elementals as a child for an unseen purpose whose home nation I would assume is Ishgard. After reaching the rendevous point the Ishgard Dragoon(calvary not class) isattacked by elementals after running in fear from what he thought was a dragon.

You save him, you meet him back at Owl's Nest where you see more Ishgard Dragoons (Again mounted Calvary not Dragon Knight Dragoons) where he thanks you, you mind fondle him to relive his memory of what happened and you see a amber statue that kinda-sorta resembles a Dragon. End of quest one

Quest 2 the Wild Conjurer wants you to escort him to Ishgard and after doing so is snatched away just at the map border by the elementals who tell him "Not yet...." and you meet him back at that statue where you mind fondle him and saw how he was taken by the wilds. He was attacked as a kid by a pack of wolves and after you save him an elemental flies out and takes him as their pawn for some unseen/unsaid plan. He asks if by "Not yet" do they intend to set him free one day to only be answered in silence.

End of Spoiler

There is the quest in almost full detail. from what I saw he Ishgard Dragoons are not apart of the REAL Dragon Knight class but the actual meaning of Dragoon in Japan which is Mounted Calvary.

My best guess is the Dragoons of old Ishgard were the real Dragon Knight style Dragoons that fell prey to someone's betrayal or some kinda misfortune and these new Dragoons of Ishgard are total Dragon hating extremist.

Just want to show everyone the picture here. Now Look at the Dragoon(Kain Highwind) Look at the Dragoon again. I don't see a wyvern around him. He certainly looks kickass, and anyone can tell that is a Dragoon. Even his title reads "Dragonslayer"

Thats a title that he obtained from killing some sorta NM that he liked and used it has nothing to do with the class unless warriors like Romeo(left side) kill any and all females they come across.

Thanks for the info on that quest. It sounds a little different from what I've heard, so I'd still like to see it myself. I have a character close to 30 CNJ. Just have to do some leveling~ :3
