Who says there are not inexperienced dragoons who cannot jump well? Â That's never been implied anywhere. Â That's like complaining that experienced thaumaturges ought not be able to cast fireballs. Sure there may be young ones still learning how to, but no one would think to object to an experienced black mage lobbing one. Only Dragoons seem to be coming under this additional layer of scrutiny and nitpicking about physics.
I've pointed this our multiple times. Everything else is explained or handwaved in game except dragoon. Black mages can channel giant fireballs because of aethetic ability and innate discipline. White mages can channel succor because of the gifts of the elementals. Monks can punch really hard because they've opened their chakras. Warriors can withstand damage and pain beyond most mortals because they know how to tap into their Inner Beast. Dragoons can jump impossibly high and fast because...?
Also, you tend to get the title of your job after the prerequisite training. You don't become a policeman before going through the academy, you don't become a chef before learning how to cook, and you certainly don't become a soldier before seeing boot camp. "Inexperienced dragoon" seems like an oxymoron given that they're elite dragon-killing units.
