Thanks for the explanation, Gegenji, Unamed Mercenery and Castille.
I guess it just all rotates back to what I said earlier in the thread. Roleplaying is a bit of a paradox because if we all wanted our stories to 'gel' we'd all have to be super bland.
If unlocking Dragoon is like some of the other classes and most quests (I'm familiar with) then it's something about how you are ~~special and chosen, which obviously is not going to make sense when there are 1000's of other people doing the same quest and being 'special' in the same way. So, naturally, most people forgo the in-game reasoning and what you're left with is... something that is hard to explain.
Really the conclusion is Q:'Reasoning for irregular race/nationality combinations?' A: Because the game's concept is to make you special, from the word 'go' with you being the WoL - which just naturally conflicts with the concept of group roleplay.
((interestingly this makes me remember I read someone say once they actually preferred 1.0 because their character was more 'bland' which made roleplaying easier. At the time I didn't understand but after being in this community for a while I can.. I can totally understand that now, lol))
