Lets run the list
FF3 - Cant remember how good they were
FF4- Kain was the shit. Who didnt use Kain at the end?
FF5 - Not sure on this one. Cant rememeber
FF6 - No set Dragoon. Jump was pretty decent but not necessary
FF7 - uhh.. Ok as much as i liked Cid I didnt use him much so
FF8 - Did this game even have a dragoon character?
FF9 - Now we are talking! Freya was the bomb!
FF10 - Hmm.. did this game have a dragoon?
FF11/14 - Boom Dragoons were amazing in both MMOs
FF12 - Spears were definitely an awesome weapon to use as well as the best weapon in the game
FF13 - Im gonna skip this one
They were meh in both 3 and 5 since they were so many better jobs that performed their role a lot better. Jump is cool and all but no one likes giving enemies an opportunity to attack in the first place especially when you need to micromanage HP and MP.
You were kinda forced to use Kain in FF4 at the end. Also he was a jealous dick throughout most of the game too so he's by far the worst character in the game simply because of that.
Ward was a dragoon in 8. He sucked.
Okay, finally a decent one. Shame she played absolutely no role in the story after her arc was done.
Kimahri had jump as one of his overdrives and he's also by far worst character in the game.
I haven't played much of XIV but Dragoons were considered a joke for most of their existence in FFXI. There's a reason loldrg is a thing. It wasn't until the 1-handed buff that they became useful again but that helped out Dark Knight, Warrior, and Samurai even more which meant nobody bothered to use them.
I blame ALL OF YOU for me getting my Freya on my daily draw. ALL. OF. YOU.
Shouldn't have pulled in the middle of a dragoon talk
Utsusemi: Ni would be awesome, and probably end up being a TM if it was a thing.
I hope they add more FFXI units one day.
I want Prishe and Lilisette but since this game is fueled by nostalgia and the majority of players didn't played XI, much less the expansions, chances are we will never get them
