Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[SilvertearRen]

So we will be Dragoons NOT coming from Ishgard, and may have our own way of doing things.

I stopped reading your post after I read this sentence. It suggests a huge degree of ignorance or willingness to destroy the lore of FFXIV just to have something you want.

You're assuming too readily based on your interpretation of things. Odds are Yoshi-P will not be doing it "your" way.

i have thought of this point and from what i can tell there is only one guild in each city state. there is no reason to think its not going to be the same with jobs only having one home. if they do decide to go with dragoons having wyverns then chances are that dragoons are going to have to be renegade from ishgard. the problem with this idea is ishgard is not the empire. they are ally's

Yes, I don't expect to be friends with Ishgard if I have a wyvern hanging around me. lol :x It would be very interesting if the rogue Dragoons who chose to keep a wyvern weren't allowed in at all (while on that job). Perhaps not "fair" but it would make for interesting lore. :3

I wonder though... if Ishgard will be destroyed and become a ruins or something similar in 2.0.
We know they have big plans for Ishgard.. I keep wondering how drastically Ishgard might change in the future. Though that has little to do with the topic of Dragoons having wyvern pets... unless at some point Ishgard feels they need wyverns and is forced to work with them for protection or something. Doubtful, but I can't help but wonder what will become of Ishgard in 2.0.

Also, slightly related topic: Yoshida-san spoke of possible dragon people. I wonder.. would Ishgard have to befriend dragon-kind then? To let those people in? Or perhaps they would be enemies? :3

So much to think about, so many possibilities.

I was only saying we are adventurers. We aren't from Ishgard unless we roleplay so. I'm not assuming anything. I'm looking at possibilities.

from the snipets of information i have heard they have big plans for ishgard and these big plans are for players to take part in. they said the reason we are not getting ishgard till after 2.0 is coz. with this game engine we are restricted to less than 50 players on screen. and their plans are much bigger than that. i don't know what they are, if i had to guess i bet its got something to do with killing dragons and who knows maybe that will be the release of bahamut primal (but i'm getting ahead of myself there) my main point is do you want to be locked out of this major content, just so you get a wyvern?

[Reliquia]

I'd just like to point one thing out, the lore is not what's going to determine if dragoon gets a wyvern or not. During the interview where Yoshi says that they are undecided about dragoon getting a wyvern or not he stated that the class balancing was the issue. Also I take that the choice will depend on our opinions, I wonder where he got the impression that everyone wanted a wyvern, because from this thread it looks quite grim.

That being said you can tell that the lore is not what's finite in this discussion, they can easily work around it without of it having to much impact to the settings. Same goes for the traditional view on dragoon.

This is however highly hypothetical, and who is to say that we can't get the same scale on content and enjoyment of something that doesn't revolve about dragons? Additionally, who says that a dragoon with a wyvern can't fight a dragon?

I don't think SE would lock anyone out actually. I would find it interesting if we could be locked out of certain things(like areas) because of lore.. but I just don't think SE would. Especially because they've mentioned dragon-people. They seem to like to make things fair for everyone.
But to answer, if having a wyvern would lock me out of that area while on Dragoon, I wouldn't want the wyvern any less. I would still choose that path.

And I do wonder, if Ishgard still stands after 2.0, if they will have to befriend dragon-kind if SE adds a dragon race because SE probably wouldn't want to lock them our of anything. Perhaps they'd add to the lore.. a truce between them.
I'm not saying this is what I want obviously. lol I'm just thinking of possibilities of Ishgard and Dragoons in the future.

i would be willing to take a hit in dmg to have my pet like i did in ff11. if thye keep it along the lines of when i ws it ws then it wudnt make a difference if i was lil down graded really.

but if i get a pet i dont want everyone to get the same darn wyvern. give us colors to pick and eyes and i could be happy

I don't. If it was to be the same pet system FFXI had, i'd pass for sure...sucks having gimp classes just because they can summon pets.

And yeah...looooong ago i asked this when i suggested DRG (not even close to this DRG though...i guess my suggestion was discarded =P) i asked it to be a trully pet class, with multiple wyverns...like certain dragon/bird monsters dropping eggs and you taking the egg to a certain spot (maybe amberscal rock in Black Shroud...so cool that dragon-looking stone!) it would hatch into a wyvern...but different eggs = different wyverns...but by different i mean not only different color...but models, attributes, breaths and even roles.

I'm a fan of the idea of having a DRG only mount (like the drake in the video), but still against pets.

I don't know all the lore, but I would also turn in favor of staying with it, before I'd suggest any change. (In case this or the pet go against it.)

[Kailea_Nagisa]

If they did it along the lines of how they talked about chocobos taking up a PT slot, then I could get behind it more. But a rehash of the way FFXI did it? no way. If the pet took up a spot in the PT, then the Dragoon nor the pet would have to be dumbed down, but I don't think this would be the way it would be added, and there for don't want to see it at all.

In FFXI when your wyvern died most of the time (and all of the time when it was our 2hr) you where screwed.
