Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Arland]

Dear god, have mercy and kill the thoughts about wyvern as dragoon pets Dx

[Alothia]

If it's going to split stats, I say no. Personally, I like options. Let those who want a wyvern split their stats, and those that don't want one, keep their stats. It's win/win that way. *shrug* But what do I know.

Only from a Final Fantasy XI player's perspective. I provided links to the Dragoon article for the Final Fantasy series. Please educate yourself before making such an ignorant statement.

I normally don't reply to stuff in forums because its not my thing, but I read a lot of what goes on in here and I'm normally in agreement with your post. This time I think you should take your own advice and reread the dragoon article you linked.

The first appearance of the dragoon (dragon knight) is in FF2. They rode dragons, and I believe it states fought along side wyverns. Point is playable or not the wyvern dragoon combo has existed in the dragoon history before FF11; It is in fact ingrained into the first incarnation of the job.

This is true, but since then it has become more of the Freya/Kain Highwind version that has become the template for most Dragoons in the FF series.

Besides...aren't we getting Drake mounts?

How about a vote to wait and see what they want to do with Dragoon instead?

FFXI is to the best of my knowledge the only FF that actually let you control a Wyvern, so why not wait to see what they intend to do with the usual non-pet variety of Dragoon?

The point of this thread is to make it clear to the Devs what the players want BEFORE they make any mistakes that'll end up angering us. :P

Personally, I am against Dragoons having pets.

What if they just added a second job path down the road for LNC? Meaning Dragoon would be the traditional "dragon-slayer" while the Wyrmcaller works with a wyvern.

I would be open to that, especially if the Wyrmcaller was involved with Sharlayan. But I imagine there would be lore inconsistencies if players had access to both at the same time.

Yes you are correct in the Kain/Freya versions being the main staple to look to now (I'm super pumped the new dragoon armor looks to be Kain inspired). The point I was trying to get across is your FF11 argument had a hole in it, and you called some one ignorant;That they need to check their facts. Normally you put up decent statements to argue your points, but when you attack some one for doing something that you yourself should have done; It takes from the credibility of the points your trying to get across in your post. I'm not trying to attack you or anything I'm just trying to help out.

Being a THM main, I can attest to the lore inconsistencies of THM and CON's respective jobs, but it's happening.
Eorzea's going under some catastrophe involving Meteor and the Garlean Empire, so who knows what kind of strange alliances will form just to give sense to this change.

Respectable options for a wide variety of player styles and builds is my dream of Final Fantasy. ^^
