Edgar: Dragoon?

DocFrance · 03-30-2003, 12:45 AM

I've always considered Edgar to be a dragoon. He wields the spear as well as the sword, he wears some pretty cool-looking green armor, and he has Cain's long, blonde hair. Care to comment?

Give Mog or Edgar Dragon Boots and then they have the Jump command Dragoons/Lancers have. They both use spears but weren't really Dragoons in my book. Cid (FF7) has some limit breaks that are jumps making him one. Kain and the job class from FF5 have Jump as does Freya (FF9). Kimarhi has the Ronso Rage Jump (FF10) Making them dragoons.

I think that the true Dragoon has the Jump ability at all times, not as a Limit Break, or an equippable ability. So as far as I know (I never played the first three, and never got very far in Tactics) Kain, The FF5 bunch while in Dragoon form, and Freya were the only true Dragoons.

Kimahri and Cid might of used spears, but they weren't Dragoons. Just spears uses with a Jump attack as a limit break. Edgar was a Mechanic, that was his class, Mog = Dancer.

Matt said it best. I'm not familiar with FFV, but when I think of a Dragon Knight/Dragoon, I think of Kain and Freya. Edgar and Mog aren't Dragon Knights.

You guys are forgetting Richard from FFII. He's the original Dragoon. Edgar and Mog weren't Dragoons, they were a Mechanic and a Dancer respectivly like Gau said.

No, he's just a randy king. =P To be honest, I hardly ever have him use spears. Usually Mog gets the spears, so Edgar's stuck with swords. Even then, I have him use tools instead of fighting.
