I love Dragoons/Dragon Knights. Yeah, you have to spend a turn before you land for double damage...but you're IN THE AIR. Nothing can hit you, you're completely immune to damage of any form, and you can sit in the back row with heavy armor for the times when you're not in the air. It's like using a Monk's Focus/Build Up abilities, but having damage immunity.
cant take w no shield either. but i think drg knights are still good. next to kain, freya is up there. if it wasnt for her and vivi, i wouldnt have gotten far.
@peddle1993 That's an unfair comparison because Kain's the only Dragoon to be a main character. If Freya had a sideplot besides "stalk ex-boyfriend" we might be able to determine whether she's an interesting character or not.
@peddle1993 Well Kain is one of my favourite FF characters and I really think his performance in Dissidia 012 when he confronted Exdeath was extremely epic. Also wasn't Cid from FF7 a Dragoon as he used Jump and uses lances? and he was a main character
your knowledge of the medieval era is kinda pathetic but you are definitely one of my favorite LPers :P keep up the good work and dont trust wikipedia!
I know it's been said already, but the idea behind Dragoons is that they're invincible half the time and are melee damage dealers, not tanks. I will agree with you that, comparatively, that's kind of a sucky ability. Freya, however, is pretty rocking because of her Dragon abilities. She can act as a backup healer or mage and her Dragon Crest allows for some pretty obscene damage with proper grinding. Her only drawback is a small MP pool, and that can be fixed with ethers and conservation.
with Freya, you can get an ability that deals damage based on the number of dragons you've killed x strength I think, and you can do up to 9999 damage
tank = drawing aggro, I can't see why her being in the air would stop that.
Waiting a turn to deal double damage = useful to avoid some triggers, such as an enemy that will heal if under a certain amount of health, you kill it before it has the chance.
About your mini rant of dragons... I like them just because if your party is knocked down by a really strong attack but your dragon is in the air, you could revive some party members (prefered white mage), while dealing double damage (yes Im refering this time to FFIV Zeromus EVIL BIG BANG). Also, in some games like in FFIV, they are kickass defined. Oh and in FFIV Advance, the double jump, is ass whopin defined.
Although in regular random encounters dragoons are about as useful as any regular melee class (remember, they don't HAVE to jump), I find that in boss battles or against enemies with powerful multi-target attacks dragoons are VERY useful to have around. They deal consistent damage like a melee class, but can avoid attacks every other turn. In fact, in ffIV during the final battle Kain was my most useful character because he delt the second most amount of damage, and didn't get hit EVEN ONCE :D
@SBaby also, this goes to HCBailly, in games that there are Dragons, there are ALWAYS better tanks. In FF4, Paladin cecil can always take a whopin, more so than Kain, In 7, cloud was more capable of taking damage, in this game, there is steiner, In XI (yes there are dragons there), both paladin and ninja are better at tanking, because the paladin defense ane HP are insane, and the ninja can do duplicates. As you see, dragons arent the best tanks around, they serve to revive and do damage
I have a question, Hcbailly. I just started playing FF9 over the weekend, intending to beat it though I've owned it for years now. I've reached roughly this point in the game, but I forgot to buy wrists in Dali. So my question is: being a good 4 hours into the game, do you think it would be worth it to start over and buy the wrists in Dali to perform the cotton robe trick, or should I just press on?
I would like Freya a lot more if you could see her face. Half the game, I'm like, what am I looking at? The only two times you get a good look at her are in the only two FMVs she appears in during the game.
As for the benefits of being a dragon knight, one free turn without getting hit.
That's a nice trick with the cotton robes. I'll have to try that. Because Lindblum has so much new equipment, I can never actually afford it all during my first visit, unless I go outside to grind.
I don't see why you don't like dragon knights. you could attack twice, but jumping makes one turn invincible, and the second turn makes up for the last turn by giving you double damage.
on the dragon knight disscusion. i think the only time i found them helpful was in final fantasy tactics since they have as good health, better speed and a range on there weapon to prevent counter attacks, other than that i completely agree with you hc about dragon knights...seeing as though dragon knights and lancers in fft (psone) are the same thing.
Dragon Knights are actually really good, having the ability to completely invulnerable from all attacks and dealing double damage at the end can be something you can really take advantage of.
With regard to the line about her father, I think the implication is that her mother went crazy about *spoiler addressed later in the plot* around the time of her father's death. It would make sense if she had him killed, but you're right in that they don't address that sufficiently. Maybe there's something they left out from the translation.
The purpose to Dragon Knights is that by being in the air, they're avoiding damage. They're supposed to be a damage-dealer that you don't have to heal every 10 seconds. Not a tank.
But I do agree that they often have piss Agility, so you end up doing more damage overall by just having them attack regularly.
I remember the copy weapon glitch (pardon if I don't know whether is so) from Final Fantasy 4. Money making schemes are helpful for completion in a game.
Dragoons = tanks, that fall on the enemy. Cid had an affair. thus his wife waylays him and turns him into a oglop. makes sense to me. secert money all over the world. darn walls and there getting in tthe way...
Kidding aside, I'm rather fond of them myself. Their abilities aside, they are just the coolest things around. That said, I can't stand Freya as a character.
I liked Freya when I played through this. She might not've been the strongest in battle, but I still liked to have her in my party for whatever reason.
Talking about playable characters I don't like...a certain fatty and a certain tall, lanky dude.
It still doesn't make much sense, you still think Cid would have known about Zidane because of Baku. You learn later on the second disc about Zidane and Baku's relationship since Baku and Cid go so far back you would think that he and Zidane would have met at some point.
It's hard to talk about the King of Alexendria (Garnet's ''father''), without giving spoilers about her ''past'' or some of the ''suspicious'' relations of the Queen.......
But IF the King was murdered, I would go for the one with the most interests related to the Queen and the, Black Mages... who I can't talk of right now, but he's quite the sinister type...
...hehe... Moogles, really useful creatures or a nuisance ? That will be the subject of our next interview ! ;)
HC bailey, imma pause you video for a moment good sir, at second 51, the middle of your complaint about dragon knights (dragoons in any other sane game), and say this for jump: a boss with exorbidant physical defense will still take notable damage, as it's the power of two blows against its defense, rather than two blows both reduced by defence once each
Thanks for the trick HC, I never realized that, because I never sold any of my stuff. Sheesh, I was wondering why I couldn't get some of the stuff at the end of disk 1.
Remember that a Dragon Knight is off the field of battle while their attack charges up. This acts as immunity - a considerable tactical advantage compared to other attacks that charge up.
Also, if a Dragon Knight is in the air and the rest of the party is cursed or wiped out, the Dragon Knight will be unaffected when they land (at least in most cases). They can then start reviving their comrades - and their heavy armor proficiency will allow them to better withstand damage as they do so.
Zidane states on the lift that he had never met Cid before, that's why he asked Dagger what he was like. So I'm guessing when Cid asked Tantalus to kidnap Dagger, it was only Baku that was asked.
Actually Freya is a much, much better "tank" then Steiner precisely because she can go off the screen whenever she chooses. Since there aren't that many ways to protect your allies (outside of skills like Protect Girls) the fact that Steiner is there doesn't actually protect anyone. No he helps via staying alive and providing phoenix down usage after your weaker allies die.
Freya can massively reduce damage she takes or avoid big hits via jump and if you don't want her off the screen don't jump just use one of her other skills (which are plenty respectable in and of themselves). She also makes an excellent healer via items as she is very hard to kill thanks to Jump and her natural toughness.
I love how Square made a reference, to one of their other games with Wayne and Torres. I don't think HC would know it, but still they do pretty much the same thing there too. Nice touch by Square, to have a rather obvious reference.
Thats what i don't get about final fantasy games, if Dragoons have proficiency with Heavy Armor, how the hell can tehy jump so high in the air??? I would imagine that if you wear Heavy Armor you can barely walk with it, let alone jump.
Hcbailly please play FF12 I can 100% assure you that if you like FF9 then you will love FF12 I have the guide brady guide book for it I can send it to you for free it covers every single detail and secret in this game, hidden treasures , secret bosses , weapons items and so on
@MrEternity1 ff12 had one of the better storys it might be kinda confusing but it was really well done also the ending made sense (unlike ff8) and it wasnt depressing (like ff7 and a somewhat ff13)
@MrEternity1 I have to disagree. FF12's storyline was one that made the most sense to me. Just plain ol' politics "politricks" and war, the same thing we learned about in the history books in school.
Made more sense than 'Time Compression', Sephiroth's Oedipus complex with his mother, merging planets together, and the bunk religion of Yevon (but I still enjoyed those FF games!).
I always found Freya useful against certain battles; having one character who was always out of range of enemy attacks is actually occasionally useful, especially considering that I'm fairly sure no one learns any techniques that draw attacks to them, which makes tanking impractical. Plus, Freya learns actual techniques beyond jumping, including some ones that are pretty damn broken.
You hate Dragon Knights? I thought you was cool man. ^_^ tee hee nah nah im joking i love Dragon Knights i think they are more unique then other knights, however you do have a point, you would think that they would do triple damage with a jump attack that would be awsome.
You dont jump with Freya. She CAN, but her abilities are what make her. I played Through with Freya, Zidane, uh... and 2 characters you dont have yet, with no white mages. It went very well, Freya has some seriously hard hitting attacks.
Awww.... Dragon Knights, Dragoons, Lancers, etc... Were always my favorite class. I really like Freya in this game too, though I was upset she was a freaking kangaroo rat... I like her twist when she goes into a trance too... The jump lets you basically avoid a really nasty attack for a round too.
Awww.... Dragon Knights, Dragoons, Lancers, etc... Were always my favorite class. I really like Freya in this game too, though I was upset she was a freaking kangaroo rat... I like her twist when she goes into a trance too...
I know what you mean regarding the Dragoons. The only really good ones in the series are Kain because it never took too long to charge a jump or come down from a jump, Cid because he's got good stats and limit breaks, and Fang because her Highwind ability can do multiple hits of 99999, and millions of damage when you introduce the Genji Glove. Other than that, Dragoons are just sorta there.

But IF the King was murdered, I would go for the one with the most interests related to the Queen and the, Black Mages... who I can't talk of right now, but he's quite the sinister type...
...hehe... Moogles, really useful creatures or a nuisance ? That will be the subject of our next interview ! ;)

HC bailey, imma pause you video for a moment good sir, at second 51, the middle of your complaint about dragon knights (dragoons in any other sane game), and say this for jump: a boss with exorbidant physical defense will still take notable damage, as it's the power of two blows against its defense, rather than two blows both reduced by defence once each

Thanks for the trick HC, I never realized that, because I never sold any of my stuff. Sheesh, I was wondering why I couldn't get some of the stuff at the end of disk 1.

Remember that a Dragon Knight is off the field of battle while their attack charges up. This acts as immunity - a considerable tactical advantage compared to other attacks that charge up.
Also, if a Dragon Knight is in the air and the rest of the party is cursed or wiped out, the Dragon Knight will be unaffected when they land (at least in most cases). They can then start reviving their comrades - and their heavy armor proficiency will allow them to better withstand damage as they do so.

Zidane states on the lift that he had never met Cid before, that's why he asked Dagger what he was like. So I'm guessing when Cid asked Tantalus to kidnap Dagger, it was only Baku that was asked.

Actually Freya is a much, much better "tank" then Steiner precisely because she can go off the screen whenever she chooses. Since there aren't that many ways to protect your allies (outside of skills like Protect Girls) the fact that Steiner is there doesn't actually protect anyone. No he helps via staying alive and providing phoenix down usage after your weaker allies die.

Freya can massively reduce damage she takes or avoid big hits via jump and if you don't want her off the screen don't jump just use one of her other skills (which are plenty respectable in and of themselves). She also makes an excellent healer via items as she is very hard to kill thanks to Jump and her natural toughness.

Dragon Knights can avoid some heavy damaging delayed attacks with proper timing. Like dodging mega flare in ff4 if you don't have reflect.

I love how Square made a reference, to one of their other games with Wayne and Torres. I don't think HC would know it, but still they do pretty much the same thing there too. Nice touch by Square, to have a rather obvious reference.

Thats what i don't get about final fantasy games, if Dragoons have proficiency with Heavy Armor, how the hell can tehy jump so high in the air??? I would imagine that if you wear Heavy Armor you can barely walk with it, let alone jump.

@MrEternity1 ff12 had one of the better storys it might be kinda confusing but it was really well done also the ending made sense (unlike ff8) and it wasnt depressing (like ff7 and a somewhat ff13)

@ninjapenguin1414
FF12 did not have near one of the better stories.
A orphan who wants to become a pirate or sky captain?
The storyline was stupid and so was the ending. There was no deep emotional
parts of the story nor anything that really got your attention.
I did enjoy the battle system though.
MrEternity1 1 year ago
@MrEternity1 I have to disagree. FF12's storyline was one that made the most sense to me. Just plain ol' politics "politricks" and war, the same thing we learned about in the history books in school.
Made more sense than 'Time Compression', Sephiroth's Oedipus complex with his mother, merging planets together, and the bunk religion of Yevon (but I still enjoyed those FF games!).

Jumping removes them from combat, in games like FFT dragoon/dragon knights are quite effective at taking out units like mages.
Zetimenvec 1 year ago
I always found Freya useful against certain battles; having one character who was always out of range of enemy attacks is actually occasionally useful, especially considering that I'm fairly sure no one learns any techniques that draw attacks to them, which makes tanking impractical. Plus, Freya learns actual techniques beyond jumping, including some ones that are pretty damn broken.

You hate Dragon Knights? I thought you was cool man. ^_^ tee hee nah nah im joking i love Dragon Knights i think they are more unique then other knights, however you do have a point, you would think that they would do triple damage with a jump attack that would be awsome.

You dont jump with Freya. She CAN, but her abilities are what make her. I played Through with Freya, Zidane, uh... and 2 characters you dont have yet, with no white mages. It went very well, Freya has some seriously hard hitting attacks.

Awww.... Dragon Knights, Dragoons, Lancers, etc... Were always my favorite class. I really like Freya in this game too, though I was upset she was a freaking kangaroo rat... I like her twist when she goes into a trance too... The jump lets you basically avoid a really nasty attack for a round too.

You know, even though the game makes such a gigantic deal out of it, I don't see much in the way of rust on Steiners armour.

TheSpazhero 1 year ago
I know what you mean regarding the Dragoons. The only really good ones in the series are Kain because it never took too long to charge a jump or come down from a jump, Cid because he's got good stats and limit breaks, and Fang because her Highwind ability can do multiple hits of 99999, and millions of damage when you introduce the Genji Glove. Other than that, Dragoons are just sorta there.
