    Anyway to the point. Do you think Dragoon will be one of the jobs in the new system? And if so, do you think they will restrict it to the lancer weapons of the armory system?
    Most likely, since they're both lance wielding jobs. Also i hope they dont do the wyvern and jumps to be honest. I mean, yeah, i love the nostalgic view of ffxi, and all the other games that had dragoon in them in the past, but at the same time I want variety. If i wanted to jump and use a wyvern i would play ffxi or ff4.

    Basically, do i want the same old route that SE has gone before? Well, only in certain places. I would definately want to see them be way more creative than way more nostalgic, I guess. But keeping a little nostalgia is always a good thing.

    The whole concept of Dragoon is the ability to Jump. >_>

    Can make your wyvern point valid, but a Dragoon isn't a Dragoon if he can't jump, by Final Fantasy standards.

    FFIV: Kain's most powerful move is Jump.
    FFV: Dragoon job's main concept was using Jump.
    FFVII: Cid leaped into the air with some of his abilities.
    FFIX: Freya was a Dragoon and Jump was one of her main forms of damage.
    FFX: Kimahri has Jump as one of his abilities.
    FFXI: Jump, High Jump, and Super Jump helped Dragoon's get TP in a lot faster, and if used correctly, cause a lot of damage.

    If you see the name Dragoon.....expect to jump.

    Even if the class/job was not present in name, but Fang's special ability from FFXIII "Highwind" is the coolest and most devastating Jump Ive ever seen in any FF. Its safe to say Fang is a Dragoon, without the obvious name of her Ultimate weapon "Kain's Lance"

    So adding to your post, If you see a Dragoon you will definitely see Jump as is their most powerful attack

    I leave this here ^.~

    I was just thinking, i know some people don't want the wyvren and same skills as in FFXI, but on the wyvern subject, what does people think about a wyvern, which has its own levels and skill set, which grows as it levels up? Maybe even add some customisation options, even if its maybe colour/spikes/little bone helmet?

    What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

    A grounded Dragoon and a morally restricted Thief. Sounds like a sitcom.
