Dragoon
Appearances: FF2, FF3, FF4, FF7, FF9, FF10, FF11, FF12RW, FFT, FFTA, FFTA2
Aliases: Lancer
Dragoons have an affinity for dragon killing through their spears and polearms, and often wear dragon-related gear. Their main characteristic is the Jump ability. When activated, they jump out of the battlefield for about the length of a turn. They can't receive damage and can't be controlled during this time. When time expires, the Dragoon delivers an attack from above for much more damage than a normal attack. Very typically, they are the only other class besides Knight that can equip shields and/or heavy armor. And three out of the five character Dragoons have the last name Highwind.
