Dragoon companion

[StouterTaru]

In order to get a flying battle lizard, you would get:

• a hit of about -40% to your personal damage
• a stupid pet that can't avoid any AoE and is constantly getting killing
• a periodic animation lock of a few seconds when you resummon him after he dies

Not sure but I think they left out the FFXI dragoon's wyverns on purpose for FFXIV. too bad, they were adorable.

...why this again? I'm pretty sure you made this suggestions months ago and the discussion went on for a while.
(for anyone who want to take a look at it: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nd-the-Dragoon)

I dont feel like repeating myself in length here, but: Just get over FFXI and how dragoon used to be in that game. In FFXIV its a melee-job, not a pet-job. Lorewise its a job that was developed over 1.000 years to slaughter dragons.

Play FFXI if you want to play FFXI-dragoon.

If I remember right they said one time in a Live Letter that if Dragoons got a Wyvern pet they would have to nerf Dragoon's damage to make up for the pet doing damage. I personally don't really want that. My number one memory from FF11 was summoning my wyvern and it getting one shot by a bomb toss not 10 seconds after words and only being half a job for 2 hours instead of playing a MNK, DRK, or a SAM and not having to rely on a pet. Based on how they did SMN in FF14 i really don't think they would make a good wyvern pet in this game.

In the context of their XIV kit, it would probably consist of nerfing the dragoon's personal damage by X% and moving all the BotD skills(Fang and Claw, Wheeling Thrust, Geirskogul, Nastrondr) to a pet bar. I don't know if anyone would play the job at that point.

From a lore perspective this is definitely a possibility as it's kind of hinted at in the Dragoon 60 - 70 questline, however the war only just ended and I doubt all the dragons/dragoons who have lost loved ones are ready to forget all that just yet. I see dragon companionship as the eventual end game but it will take time and diplomacy.

From a gameplay perspective I'd like to see it happen but it would have to be different from the pet mechanics in FFXI, which were apparently pretty problematic. I'd like to see the pet as more of a temporary summon similar to how you build Nastrond that would buff your DPS but not be integral to your overall DPS. They could add another aoe jump to replace RoT, for example and give it a dragon-rider dive animation.

Not neccarcilied these could be move that you and your dragon attack together as. the issue that SE is face with pet jobs is a lack of tied in pet attack with Character attack moves. already SE is work on AI system with rumor of adventure Squadron. One doesn't nerf attack of dragoons just Equalized it with dragon dps as well. Fang and Claw, Wheeling Thrust, Geirskogul, Nastrondr could be attack for both dragoon and dragonling at same time.

at lvl 70-80 the dragoon will be get stronger like all every Jobs one could introduce a dragonling companion the Equalized the dps together with dragoon.

at lvl 70 the dragonling could introduce at the next expansion point

right now we in to patch rotation of stormblood

we know that FFXIV isn't over not in silent that we evenaulty going have face the emperor

[SilverObi]

Always hated the reasoning that XI's dragoons weren't dragonslayers. The whole point of that job's lore was that you found one of the rare holy dragons that could even be a companion. Anyway if you want some nostalgia, just dress up

[Kazrah]

Really, stop saying 'this isn't FFXI', we all know it isn't, and asking for things from past FF is as normal as it gets. It makes you look like an ass.

As long as people keep making suggestions asking for some pointless feature from that game, we're going to have to keep reminding them that this isn't their "good ol' days".
