I also don't understand the sentiment that Dragoons "die easily" when that was obviously not the case considering that there are only about 30 in service at any one time and that was considered sufficient to get by through all those years of war up until the outright invasion at the climax which you're supposed to at least pretend to imagine was of a much larger scale than that presented in game - something more in line with that of the CGI I am sure."Freaking out" is an uncharitably strong way to put it, but it is probably shocking to a lot of players given that Square's been vague about the numbers up until now. It could legitimately be a tiny army in which case I wonder why there isn't full mobilization, with a radically different social structure within Ishgard, but at least under the condition of having a small military/population, it makes sense to have a tiny elite group as well.
Overall though, the way I see it is that if you're going to be intense about lore adherence, the same rules should apply to everyone, not just players who are fortunate enough to be well liked or play something favored by the majority. If the lore adherence is leading you towards not accepting characters you love and pushing you away from players you enjoy cooperating with, maybe it's time to re-evaluate your attitude towards the lore. Maybe some flexibility is in order, so that you can let things like this slide.
