A Gridanian Dragoon is based on a type of Ishgardian Lancer that specializes in taking down dragons. Based on.
It does not get you acceptance into Ishgardian society, or qualify you as a Dragoon in their eyes because you were not trained IN Ishgard. You are a farce as far as they are concerned. Race matters entirely in Ishgard. Ishgard is not an open and accepting place. They have racism, elitism, sexism, and religious extremism.
One can serve a nation without being their soldier. Like in the main scenario quests, the player does plenty of work for the Coerthan knights, thereby 'serving' them. Riku served Ishgard by proxy, but still served Ishgard. I never said he was an Ishgardian soldier, I never said he was accepted into Ishgardian society.
Secondly, whilst I may have skimmed through a lot of the job quest dialogue, I saw no mention of the player being a Gridanian dragoon in the job quest. Granted, I reached 50 dragoon BEFORE 2.0 so things may have changed in the quest. Perhaps I missed something or perhaps that was something added in after ARR, whatever the case, Riku was still a dragoon, and he still served Ishgard, so my opening post does not change.
