What are the devs going to change about dragoon??

Yeah, but I just feel like this more ESO influence or whatever it was that had a dragon mage class seeping into something that's not that. FF dragoon isn't a mage/pet job. It's the most established melee in the game and while it's gotten a lot flashier over time, they've consistently stuck the theme of you still doing physical actions for all the dragonic-enhanced moves. You stab, jump and throw. The only exception there is Mirage Dive.

Also I'm kind of iffy on using very plot-specific characters like Tiamat or Vrtra as gameplay mechanics. It's just going to create a ton of continuity nonsense. At most it should be something like Midgardsormr's spirit force (which admittedly would be a neat upgrade to LB3 if they ever spruce up the animations), not something silly like you texting Vrtra to teleport to the moon every 2 minutes or wherever.

DRG actually had a Wyvern pet in FFXI which is likely what they're referring to, and I believe it's where the "lolDRG" memes originally came from because if the Wyvern died there was a 2 hour recast timer and DRG basically did nothing for damage without it. Regardless of that though, we don't need more flashy "DoT pet" abilities that are fire and forget and we also don't need DRG becoming a pet job after 5 expacs of being purely melee.
