After finishing 3.3 I had to do the Dragoon related questline in Churning Mists to start doing my moogle dailies, and in those I saw something I had thought before but hadn't really seen. Dragoons are changing. In a large chunk of the Churning Mist quest line they are more skilled explorers, taking aether readings, noting new sections of land, and setting up communications with the moogles. They still are fighting monsters that interfere, but it seems to me what a Dragoon is has become more like Star Trek, exploring the final frontier and serving as warrior diplomats/scientists/cartographers. All of this was from levelling quests in 3.0, and seeing where 3.3 has lead, I think the next generation of Dragoons are going to be very very different. The Dragoons who have lived and fought in the war will become relics of a different time, Estinien showing us that in his example, and the empty room with his broken helm.Â
Personally, I think this is pretty awesome. Sure there will be wiggle room for the 'scattered' forces, but I think Dragoons having to address this large change is even cooler.
