I believe I posted in the Ishgard thread about this. I'll just say what I said there about my interpretation of it.
A group of Ishgardian knights trained to slay dragons. The Azure Dragoon is the only super-special one.
I don't think powers like the super jumps are available to all dragoons. In the quest-line, the reason you get these powers is because the eye responds to you (because you're super special in the quest-lines, lol). The soul crystal you receive is one that belonged to Alberic, the former Azure Dragoon and the powers are granted to the Azure Dragoon in order to let them fight the dragons on the same ground, so to speak. That is not to say however that the regular Dragoons aren't powerful or skilled fighters, they're just not magically enhanced.
So with IC access to training it's entirely possible to become a dragoon, but you'll only be super-powered if the eye has 'chosen' you.Â
IC I've chosen to ignore jump abilities and anything else that looks obviously magically enhanced. Everything else is either suitable or only requires a teeny tiny amount of suspension of disbelief. That's just how I choose to go about it though!
