I think the number of people who are familiar with carbuncle from any of the other FF games or just like its looks far out numbers the people who want it for just FFXI related reasons. I have no clue what it really has to do with one specific game over another to some people, there are lots of reasons to love the "blue pikachu" as someone put it o.O

I'm more interested in everything else though.

If carby really is unlocked for SMN though, does that mean it's also unlocked for SCH?

And what is that monster? One of the new Hunt targets? Or a quest enemy?

I was thinking hunts would be more group oriented content, similar to high level treasure maps, though maybe with some light party options too. Going solo kind of makes hunt targets seem a bit wimpy, but that could just be me.
