To me, being make a Knight for Ishgard is a far bigger deal for a non-Elezen than simply scoring a kill. Should a knight kill a 'true' dragon, they would then be a Dragoon by title, but how one learns to fight all jump/stab style is still up in the air.
Knights maybe because you don't necessarily need to be high born for that. But dragoons are less likely...
That and 1.0 lore is so sketchy >.<
As far as I have come to understand, being a knight has MUCH more to do with pedigree and bloodlines than dragoon. As a knight, I think the religious dogma angle is much more prevalent too. Exceptions are everywhere, but I know it would be difficult to have my character become a knight as a dirty brume girl than to become a fully sanctioned dragoon under tutelage of another or several of the order.
MSQ talks about how Aymeric had difficult time being a knight as a 'low-born' man in 2.5/2.55. To my recollection which is dodgy, I dont recall ever hearing things spoken about dragoons having higher-caste or social barriers to entry like knights. I would imagine many dragoons probably rise from army regulars as shining stars when they kill dragon or something. Idk, just what I think !
