Dragoon?

[Asherym]

I've always loved the concept of the Dragoon, from its inception in FF2 (Kain was technically the first DRG to Jump, but not the first in line), up to the massive change it got in FFXI. I loved the wyvern because it gave something to the DRG that was largely missing in the rest of the Jobs: versatility. Granted, the variations were limited or limiting in scope, but no other melee Job could be used in that way.
Would I like the wyvern back? Sure, but it's not mandatory. I'd rather they expanded on the DRG they created with Freya in FF9. A unique skillset that consisted of dragon-based magic and attacks that complimented the great attack power and Jump/High jump abilities. Freya was the most unique DRG in FF history, and deserves to have her abilities brought back to the table.
Like most, if we were to get a wyvern, I would want a level of customization: giving it an original name vice picking from a list, color selection so as not to give the idea that wyverns are inbred, and detail customization like scale style and addition of horns/spikes. I also support a method of control to make the wyvern an extension of your battle strategy rather than an afterthought.
That's just my two gil, though.

100% agree with Asherym. I'd like all Freya's powers or something like that. About the wyvern i'm not so sure if I want it or not. But please, PLEASE SE, don't give us breath weapons as in FF Tactics Dragoons, all other skills are fine

Oh and DragonKiller seems cool in this game

I'm more interested to see what and if there is going to be another job to pick other than dragoons.

I have been a die hard FF Dragoon/Lancer/Dragon Knight fan since I picked up FF Tactics all those years ago. I played FFXI for the life of the PS2 system and still do. I played hours upon hours with my faithful wyvern Eisenzahn. But, that was in FFXI, I'm playing FFXIV because it's got an incredible, and unique story, classes, jobs and races (sorta).

That being said, I have no need to see a FFXI Dragoon in this game, I would like to see Jump definitely in the Dragoon class, which might be coming eventually, but a wyvern has and should always be a FFXI iteration.

With the mutliple FF games that have come about, there should be no trouble for the dev team to create a unique Dragoon class in this game.

Personally I liked the wyvern from XI and would love to see its return. For me it was part of my identity as a dragoon. Does it need to be exactly the same as XI? No, and it probably wouldn't work with XIV. I like some of the ideas already mentioned about making it more customizable or some kind of summon. I really don't care how they do it, I just want my faithful sidekick back.

Woot





This is definitely Dragoon no doubt about it now.

Based on the recently released SS of Dragoon in some nice armour, there is no wyvern floating in sight, just one-big ass Dragon we're attacking. I truly hope this shows that SE will not make Dragoon a pet class. I will be soooo happy if I can be a lone Dragon Knight.

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.

laughing really hard here. a dragoon not jumping would be like a thief not stealing

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