[Suggestion to Yoshida and the com] Third Dragoon alternative

[Andrien]

So you prefer just a job that can only attack with a spear and use the jump ability? (That's the classic one.) FFXI's Dragoon did everything the classic one did and more due to having a Wyvern to enhance it's power.

You might want to look at this to while you're at it. It is very educational.


As you can see, FF11 Dragoon actually did less, even with a wyvern..

The classic Dragoon could only use the Jump command, this is what set them apart from the others and always been one of the more unique Jobs to exist, much like Summoner set itself apart from black mage by having cinematic destruction -- Throughout FF history they added on abilities and power to the Dragoon job, which adding a wyvern was yet another addition to it and given that FFXI was released in 2002, Dragoon in 2003, that falls in line with "classic" if you consider Freya's playstyle "traditional".

When you generally hear classic, you're immediately think of the first set of Dragoons, which wasn't that different aside being able to Jump which was always calculated as a critical type hit.

I see where you're coming at, lets go beyond FF11.. Say FF12RW, and FF13 the character Fang.

Main point across, The wyvern in FF11 added nothing new that the Dragoon in the past could already do. In fact it did less. When that wyvern dies, there goes all the breath attacks/dps with it.

I don't want that. I personally don't want DRG to be turned into a pet class.
