Yes your character is tied to one server that is shared with PC, PS3, and PS4 players. Also in Duty Finder instances, you group up with people from other servers.

 

Dragoon is a polarm-wielding job that specializes in jumping and piercing style of combat. It is a melee damage dealing class specializing in single target dps. Dragoons have all the abilities and traits of Lancers. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of marauder and pugilist. The most important stat for the dragoon is strength, which increases attack power. In order to become a Dragoon, characters must have a level 30 Lancer and a level 15 Marauder

I was thinking of making a dragoon but I hear they're useless. Is that true?

No, it's not true. They're the tankiest DPS class, and one of the more difficult to use. People think that MNK and DRG are worse than the magic DPS, but that's because most people just have no idea how to play their class.
