Evaluation: I've always liked dragoons (and was disappointed
to find no Jump materia in FF7), and FFT's lancers
(a mistranslation; they were dragoons in the Japanese
version) are just as cool. They have a great range
with their jump attack, which never misses and puts
the Dragoon temporarily out of danger. They also have
Dragon Spirit, which casts Reraise when you get hit.
I'm sure you can see the value in that. Dragoons are
what Knights should have been. I recommend them very
highly. The only downside is that they become pretty
useless later in the game.
