does anyone know when the etymological shift from dragoons (i.e. soldiers who carry a dragon gun) to fantasy dragoons who either ride or fight dragons happened?
@noiob Also how did we get from either of those to Final Fantasy Dragoon (spear fighter with ten foot vertical leap)
@hache spears are traditionally how you fight dragons (e.g. Siegfried) and how else are they gonna reach them
@noiob well fuck, that *does* make sense.
@noiob in my heart i believe this to be the case
did they just translate Ryukishi (dragon knight) as Dragoon because it sounds good
